Hello TST!  First of all I really appreciate all the good feedback that you all provided after my iron fitting.  Late last week I went to get fitted for my other clubs (Driver, wood, hybrid and wedges) and would like to get some input on these clubs as well.  I hit the Taylor Made M3 460 the best out of all the drivers, but I am struggling to drop $500 on a new driver.  Do any of you have suggestions on a model last year that is still new in stores that is comparable to the M3 that maybe I can go test out?  Thanks in advance for your input!

Taylormade M1.  nearly identical.   

I got fit for a driver this year (actually bought the M3), but, honestly the technology is quite similar no matter what head you get.   Finding a shaft that fits your swing is really the important part.  You'll find much more varied results by switching shafts than you will switching from Taylormade to Ping to Titleist to Callaway heads. 

 

 

:tmade:  - SIM2 - Kuro Kage silver 60 shaft
:cobra:  - F9 3W, 15 degree - Fukijara Atmos white tour spec stiff flex shaft
:tmade: - M2 hybrid, 19 degree
:tmade: - GAPR 3 iron - 18degree
:mizuno: MP-H5 4-5 iron, MP-25 6-8 iron, MP-5 9-PW
Miura - 1957 series k-grind - 56 degree
:bettinardi: - 52 degree
:titleist: - Scotty Cameron Newport 2 - Putter

I agree with Lastings...I have the original M1 and M2 heads.  Prefer the M2.  I think they are the 2016 model if u look them up.  Beasts of drivers!!  Save yourself a few hundy and pick up one of those.

welcome to TST too!

sounds like a good opportunity to fly up to America, play Pinehurst, buy an M3 and fly home.   all for the $1065 it costs to buy the driver down there..

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
