TaylorMade M4 Fairway Wood

Two more lofts than the M3, and nothing on the head to adjust. That's the M4 fairway in a sentence. The ladder opens at 15 degrees and steps through 16.5, 18 and 21 before finishing at 24, while lengths shorten as it goes, 43.25 inches on the two strongest heads, 42.25 in the middle pair and 41.75 at the end, all at D3. Split weight pads sit low inside the head and stay put, so the flight you find on the range is the flight you keep.

Impact happens on a Ni-Co 300 steel insert, set beneath a five layer carbon crown. Fujikura's Atmos Red covers shafting, the 6 for X and stiff, the 5 for everything softer, under the Dual Feel grip, 47 grams. Only the three strongest heads were built left handed. The M3 is where to go if a sliding weight and a loft sleeve are worth the extra decisions.
