Taylormade M1 - WOW

[MendieGK]

I've always been a TM sceptic, I hated the SLDR (everyone knows LOFT UP was a cop out) and i dislike that they release so many new clubs.

However, I'd heard on good authority through people in the industry (other TM sceptics) that the M1 was the real deal if fitted properly. So i decided to give it a go.

Having been fitted with an 8.5 with the Speeder 757 X Flex, i found my total distance in comparison to my existing driver (which is well fitted to me) increase by in excess of 10yards. It flew off the face.

£369 later and my driver is on order, I cant wait.

I'm going for an M1 driver fitting tommorow with AG. Can't wait. But where have you managed to find it for £369 ?
The cheapest I have seen is £399.

So LOFT UP is dead? Did it die with the M1 or previous TM drivers?

My local shop sells them @ £369 but isn't allowed to advertise it. apparently it annoys AG and like.

Tony Valentine (swindon) is the company, you could always order through them (or give them a call), most of the drivers are on order anyway due to the shaft options so they'd order it in....

They certainly aren't promoting it anymore. You still have the option to move the weight backwards and forwards, but the SLDR was a bad driver the compensated for by making people add more loft.

The options i am aware of for the M1 are 8.5 up to 12. Given that the SLDR went up to 14, seems like there has been a change

Drools............, would love a new driver.

Let us know how it goes on the course, hope it goes well for you

Is this not a 47 inch shaft?!

 

[Stegsie]

I daren't try it. Length off the tee is probably the weakest part of my game so am looking to invest in a decent driver. Can't afford it at the moment though!

Thanks for the info Hopefully I can use it with our pros to get the price down, as they do advertise price match. Assuming I get on with it.

I'm in the market for a driver. I flat out refuse to even try the M1.

Why ?

 

[Fish]

With regards to your total dislike towards the SLDR, was that based on one being fitted specially for you or was it you just trying a stock one or owning one?

 

[Alex1975]

Why ?

Ye why?

 

[Karl102]

Got one as well! I have sold a few things and had a few quid in the account and it was burning a hole !!!! I got it from our pro. I had a hit with the kuro kage shaft and the heavier adilla rogue and the adilla felt much better. Tighter dispersion and a few extra yards. Not massively longer than my g30, but a lot tighter. I had the weight forward and the slider weight centred.

 

[the_coach]

'loft up' was, & still is only relevant to the location of the cg placement in a driver's head

I am terrible, but not in the same league as our kid

Nope, I've ordered mine an inch shorter than standard.

A number of things. It's the fact that the loft up thing covered up for a poor club mainly.

If loft up was what we had to do, why has it disappeared after one club? Absolute marketing ploy
