I know you've seen TaylorMade's commercials for the new M1 driver, which they are calling an "un-metal wood." Golf Digest put up an article about the new driver (and the associated fairway woods, hybrids and irons) about a month ago and it's clear that we've got even more adjustments to deal with now.
Take a have a look at this picture from the thing. While lots is being product of this being TaylorMade's first driver to use a composite top instead of a titanium one -- it no longer only reduces weight, it lowers the clubhead center of gravity all the way down to the center of the face -- it's those sliders on the bottom that caught my eye.
Yes, there are TWO of them. That's as new for TaylorMade because the composite pinnacle.
One slider adjusts a fifteen-gram weight from heel to toe so that you can give the driving force a fade or draw bias. The other slider movements a 10-gram weight from face to back that helps you to change the trajectory of your shot. That's pretty cool.
Then upload inside the 12-manner adjustment that gives you a plus/minus 2 stages of loft exchange -- see the black knob on the hosel? -- and you've got were given one severely adjustable driver.
I'll be sincere with you. While I like adjustability in a motive force, I don't like all those little crevices where dust can get in. Clubheads are hard sufficient to hold easy without all the slots and ridges! But such things make it easier to get a club that suits you, so I guess we simply ought to stay with it.
While the fairway woods and hybrids (additionally in the M1 line) also include all the adjustments (even though with special weights and slider placement), the brand new irons focus on the use of quite a few slots within the face and sole to enhance their playability, in conjunction with thinner faces. They're known as the PSi and PSi Tour irons (the Tour model has smaller heads).
You can study the complete article over at golfdigest.Com. Just be aware that this new tech comes at a price -- $500 for the motive force, $three hundred for the golf green woods, $250 for the hybrids, $1100 for the PSis and $1300 for the PSi Tours.
