TAYLORMADE M5 & M6
In 2018, TaylorMade developed Twist Face technology to counteract hooks and slices by tweaking the high toe and and low heel depending on the miss. In 2019, TaylorMade adds Injected Twist Face technology, exposing the false narrative that speed limits have been reached in a metalwood. The new clubs have four key features working in unison to allow every M5 and M6 driver to be precision-tuned to maximize speed to the allowable limit.
Every M5 and M6 driver head is inspected, measured, and tuned for maximum speed and to ensure conformity a process the company says is “truly unmatched in the golf industry.” Whereas current drivers have a level of variation from one to the next, TaylorMade’s new engineering and development processes effectively deliver a level of precision that ensures every golfer gets a hot and fast driver head.
The drivers have been designed with a thinner, more flexible face — in fact, initially designed above the legal limit before going through the tuning process in which resin is injected to ensure maximum speed for each head. The injection process utilizes two new tuning ports on the face of the driver (both M5 and M6 models) and a proprietary algorithm to ensure the appropriate amount of resin is used, systematically dialing in the speed for each driver face.
A significant benefit of the thinner, faster face design is that it provides the M5 and M6 drivers with faster off-center COR, effectively increasing forgiveness. Both models come in two sizes.
The face of the M6 driver is also slightly taller than the M5 and adds a complete carbon fiber sole, allowing for significantly more discretionary weight to be used elsewhere in the clubhead – as much as 54 percent more than its predecessor, the M4.
TaylorMade engineers have also incorporated Twist Face into M5 and M6 fairway woods and rescue clubs. Like the M drivers, the faces have been modified to counteract the gear effect on common mis- hits in the high-toe and low-heel. Although the concept is the same as in the driver, the exact geometry is slightly different to account for the unique mass properties and impact location patterns in fairway woods compared to drivers. The M6 Rescue features a low CG steel body construction with a stepped crown creating a lower CG and easy alignment.
