\"taylormade_m2_fairway\"<\/a>Building on the success of the M1, TaylorMade introduces the M2 line of woods and hybrids that feature all the benefits of the M1, apart from adjustability. Keeping with the same looks and lower price point, the M2 line targets the player looking for distance and forgiveness with a more competitive price tag.

\nTechnology and Design<\/strong>
\nTaylorMade continues the trend of releasing a non-adjustable or consumer-friendly version of their top line woods and drivers. Each generation of R models; R7, R9<\/a>, R11, R1<\/a> and R15<\/a>, had a corresponding non-adjustable or semi-adjustable model at a lower price point. These models had many of the same features in terms of face technology and launch characteristics, etc., but without the loft, lie and movable weight adjustments. The Burner, Rocketballz<\/a>, and Aeroburner<\/a> all had similar features and were geared more towards the cost-conscious golfer. Even the SLDR<\/a> and JetSpeed<\/a>, which had some adjustability, were available at lower prices than their top-of-the-line models. As you can see, we have reviewed our fair share of TaylorMade drivers and woods.<\/p>\n

This is part of TaylorMade’s strategy of providing different tiers of products for golf consumers. TaylorMade likes to innovate and release new models with each performance improvement. This can overwhelm some consumers, but TaylorMade fans appreciate their drive to make better equipment.<\/p>\n

The TaylorMade M1 Driver Review<\/a> outlined the improvements made from the R series to the M series.  The M2 has the carbon fiber crown from the M1, which allows the head weight to be shifted lower for higher launch and the newly designed Speed Pocket. What the M2 does not have is the loft\/lie shaft adjustment and sliding weight adjustment.<\/p>\n

MAXIMIZED DISTANCE AND FORGIVENESS<\/p>\n

Many golfers see their current fairway wood as their most-trusted club in the bag. With the multi-material construction of M2 – and the addition of a NEW Speed Pocket – we have created our hottest trajectory ever in this category. It’s time to find a new favorite with this product. Players seeking exceptional distance and playability from their fairway wood will find the M2 fairway to go farther and straighter than what they have in their bag today.<\/p>\n

M2 – I AM DISTANCE AND FORGIVENESS
M2 is built with a multi-material construction – the same as M1 – that features an ultra-light, ultra-thin and high-strength Carbon Composite Crown; unlocking exceptional distance and forgiveness for more golfers.<\/p>\n

As will many sports, that use technology to improve equipment, there is a trickle-down effect. Features from the last innovation become common on the next version of the lower cost items. In mountain biking, disk brakes once were a feature only on top-of-the-line bikes. Now they are common to all but the lowest level models. The same applies to golf innovation. The features below, which were introduced on the M1, are now part of the system for lower cost models. TaylorMade will keep the features going forward until further improvements make them obsolete.<\/p>\n
