I hit whatever M2 he gave me!
Driving the ball is my bread and butter - I'm good at it. I'm a long hitter, especially for my age, but I just wanted to try out the new Taylormade's for the hell of it. So I had a fitting at Golf Galaxy and we did a series of swings with:
My stiff flex Jetspeed 9.5 loft. (It was set to less than standard loft, however)
M1 reg flex set to mid range on both sliders 9.5
M1 stiff flex set to mid range on both sliders 9.5
M2 stiff flex 9.5
M2 reg flex 9.5
I made 5 swings with all 3 clubs.
My avg. spin rate was in the 3000s with both the M1 and M2.
With the Jetspeed, it was 1400.
My avg. length:
Jetspeed: 151
M1: 148
M2: 152
My longest drive was with the M2 at 162. The Jetspeed was 2nd at 158.
Because I'm in my 50s now, I tried the reg flex as well as the stiff flex, and the pro recommended I stick with the stiff, as my swing speed rates on all three stiff clubs were still in the sweet spot. So there was no reason to switch to reg flex yet. I do tend to swing hard and fast.
Played around some with the sliders on the M1...didn't seem to do much for my swing.
The pro (who doesn't get a commission on club sales) was surprised that my spin rate on the Jetspeed was lower than with the M1 and M2. He tried my club and liked it, but got a much higher spin rate than me.
I guess I just hit that club well. I hit all the clubs well, but with big difference between them, why spend the money?
And I'v never had a driver with a slider before...not sure I'd like it...just one more thing to think about lol.
I also tried the M2 fairway wood and liked it...I'm thinking of retiring my Burner 3-wood and getting that.
