a dream scenario for our engineers,
giving them enough discretionary weight
savings to generate a remarkably hot
trajectory with maximized forgiveness.
Whereas the savings in weight in the
M1 was used to develop the company’s
revolutionary T-Track System, the
combination of the carbon crown with
titanium casting technology in the M2
driver has enabled engineers to move the
CG into a position of simultaneous speed
and forgiveness.
Sweet Spot & Ball Speed Protection
With forgiveness a priority in M2,
TaylorMade engineers focused on three
key performance features that deliver
ball speed protection on shots struck
away from centre-face: inverted cone
technology (ICT), a redesigned Speed
Pocket; and increased moment of
inertia (MOI).
The M2 driver utilizes inverted cone
technology (ICT) to increase the size
of the high-COR area of the clubface.
ICT utilizes a thinner clubface, which
would be above the legal limit for
COR at the centre if it were uniform
thickness. However, the inverted cone
feature is then added to the centre of
the clubface to bring that section back
down to the legal range, while the
higher COR remains out on the heel
and toe areas of the face.
M2 also features a redesigned
Speed Pocket. It allows for greater face

ion. More flexibility means

energy transfer at impact made low on
the face and thus, more protection

ball speed.
Lastly, the centre of gravity in the M2
driver has been positioned low and
slightly further back in the clubhead. In
M2, the moments of inertia (MOI) are
among the highest of any club we’ve ever
produced. The increased MOI resists
twisting at impact, resulting in farther and
straighter shots when struck off-centre.
Design Aesthetics
Like M1, the M2 driver head is designed
with a classic club head shape and fast,
aggressive aesthetics where the black
carbon meets the white titanium. The
design suits the eye of better players from
address but delivers performance for all,
with maximized aerodynamics, face area,
and a low centre of gravity. The structural
changes in the design of the club head
include a lowered front face area that still
