Driver
Driver: TaylorMade M3 (8.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK 60TX
The TaylorMade M3 driver utilizes innovative Twist Face technology engineered to reduce dispersion and deliver consistently straighter tee shots. Twist Face technology also increases loft in the high-toe and decreases loft in the low-heel for more consistency on off-center hits. The M3 also features a Hammerhead Slot which enhances the sweet spot and increased ball speed for more distance. The Y-Track system allows you to move weight and adjust your settings for optimal trajectory and maximum forgiveness.
Key Features
- The wide sole channel delivers more distance by flexing at impact, acting as a springboard to launch the ball off the face with higher speed and less spin.
- The face insert is made of a thick center and thin perimeter and is located in the heel and toe of the club which helps maximize forgiveness.

The Ni-Co 300 steel face insert allows for a thinner, explosive face for optimized ball speed while the fluted hosel provides superior sound and feel without compromising the optimal center of gravity. Geocoustic technology in the M4 improves feel and sound quality, while a low-profile shape makes both woods easy to launch and play from any lie. A longer Speed Pocket in the M3 provides more flexibility and ball speed low on the face while the new track delivers precise and consistent turf interaction for improved playability.
