TaylorMade is promising more speed for everyone and best-in-class club head speeds through improved aerodynamics and inertia. The M6 driver has been redesigned to give players more ball speeds by pushing the face to the legal limit and beyond. Speed dampening resin has been used to allow the M6 driver to give players Tour-level ball speeds and forgiveness across the face. Improved weighting has been used to give players more club head speed maximum moment of inertia. The M6 is built for the players looking to improve accuracy off the tee without sacrificing distance.
Key Features
Tuning resin is injected to ensure that every M6 driver produced is at the designated legal limit for ball speed production.
Twist Face and Hammerhead 2.0 combine to give players more accuracy on mishits from the heel and toe.
An Inertia Generator has been introduced to allocate more weight low and back for maximum club head speeds and forgiveness.
TaylorMade M6 Driver
TaylorMade M6 Driver offers game-changing forgiveness and effortless distance with every swing.
Design and Technology
Engineers repositioned 54% more carbon in the M6 than in the M4 to produce the Inertia Generator. This redistribution of weight makes the M6 more forgiving and more aerodynamic than any other driver TaylorMade has produced. TaylorMade claims that everyone gets faster due to its proprietary process of optimizing every driver using its tuning resin injection.
The M6 driver is perfect for players looking for great ball speeds and more distance in a simplified package. The M6 is forgiving thanks to Hammerhead 2.0 and ideal for players that strike the golf ball across the face due to the higher lofted toe and lower lofted heel of the Twist Face design. The large foot print and sharp silver to black contrast make the M6 easy to align and is confidence inspiring for golfers of any ability.
During my testing with TaylorMade for the M6 driver I was immediately surprised by how forgiving this driver is. Miss-strikes in the toe and heel seemed to retain ball speed and managed to stay closer to the fairway. The M6 is unique in its ability to be forgiving in a relatively low-spin model. I believe that the M6 will be TaylorMade’s best-selling product due to its diverse performance. The M6 is long no matter what speed you swing at and it is much more stable than the M5.
I quickly felt confident and relaxed with the M6 driver. I was set to a usual position of 10.5-degrees dialed down to 9.25 with a slightly open club face. My miss is to the left and using the loft sleeve to manipulate my shot shape is invaluable for my confidence in my swing. Tensei CK Pro Orange in the 70TX model was my shaft of choice with my typical Tour Velvet grip. The M6 is a driver that I instantly loved and much preferred over the less forgiving M5 model.
Our Experience
The M6 driver is packed with cutting-edge technologies that deliver exceptional performance. The key features that stood out to us were the Speed Injected Twist Face and the Aerodynamic Carbon Sole Design with Inertia Generator.
The Speed Injected Twist Face technology allows the M6 to maximize ball speed across the entire face, even on off-center hits. This results in longer, straighter drives with impressive forgiveness. The Aerodynamic Carbon Sole Design with Inertia Generator further enhances the driver's performance by optimizing launch conditions for maximum distance.
During our testing, we saw an average increase in ball speed of 1-2 mph compared to the previous M4 model.
This translated to an additional 7 yards of carry distance on average. What's more, the M6 was incredibly easy to launch, with a high, penetrating ball flight that stayed in the air for an exceptionally long time.
In terms of forgiveness, the M6 is simply one of the most forgiving drivers we've ever teste.
The combination of Twist Face technology and the high MOI, low and deep CG design make this driver incredibly accurate and stable, even on mishits. Golfers who struggle with a slice will especially appreciate the M6 D-Type model, which offers up to 20 yards more draw bias .
The only potential downside we noticed was a slightly harsher sound and feel compared to the previous M4 model, likely due to the new carbon sole design However, this is a small trade-off for the significant gains in speed, distance, and forgiveness.
Overall, the TaylorMade M6 driver is an exceptional club that delivers on its promises of more speed, distance, and forgiveness. We highly recommend giving it a try, as it could be a true game-changer for your golf game.
