TaylorMade M3 Irons

Smaller, tighter and two degrees softer through the middle, the M3 is the better player's half of TaylorMade's 2018 iron pair. Its seven measures 30.5 degrees against the M4's 28.5, and that is the deal: slightly less carry, and a head a good striker can work. It keeps a three iron of 18 degrees, a position the M4 line never offered, so a golfer can still begin the set with an iron.

Left handers get all ten loft positions, three iron all the way to the 55 degree sand wedge, which was unusually complete for a set of this vintage. True Temper's XP100 handles the steel builds and Tensei Blue graphite arrives in 80 and 70 gram weights. Senior, regular and stiff builds were all made. A Lamkin UTx grip sits on top. The P760 goes further in the same direction, forged and weaker still.
