TaylorMade M4 Tour Fairway Wood

Stiff is the softest flex on the M4 Tour's list, and that one fact does most of the explaining. Mitsubishi Tensei Blue arrives at 75 grams in X or 65 in stiff, with nothing lighter built alongside it. The range is two heads deep: a 15 degree 3 at 43.25 inches and an 18 degree 5 at 42.25, both D3, both right handed.

Underneath the Tour badge the head is familiar enough: a Ni-Co 300 steel face on a steel body, a five layer carbon roof to keep weight low, and split mass pads set into the sole. None of it adjusts. The hosel is fluted for weight saving and bonded in place, so loft and lie arrive settled. Players wanting a longer ladder, a left handed build or a softer flex are better served by the standard M4.
