TaylorMade 2016 M2 Rescue

TaylorMade's own line on this head was that it came from fairway wood DNA, and the footprint bears that out. It is the widest rescue shape the family built that season, and it keeps widening as loft rises across four heads, the lowest at 19 degrees and the highest at 28. Multi-material construction spreads mass around a big perimeter. Nothing on the club moves, no wrench and no weight to slide, so fitting comes down to picking the number your set is short of, and against the M1 rescue that plainness is the whole trade.

Reax graphite handles all three flexes, dropping ten grams a step from 75 at stiff to 55 at the senior end. At the other end of the shaft, a ribbed TaylorMade Arrow weighing 46.5 grams. Left-hand builds stop at the 22. Anyone who has stopped trusting a 4 iron has plenty of head to hide behind here.
