TaylorMade M6 Driver

Forty-six grams of fixed mass sit low and back in this head, and the reason they fit is the sole, which is carbon across its whole area. Above that is a carbon crown, between them a 9-1-1 titanium body, and up front a 6-4 titanium face. Nothing here moves except the hosel. That is the trade the M6 makes for a lower spinning, steadier 460cc head.

Two stock shafts divide by launch. Fujikura's Atmos Black 6 runs mid and covers regular through X, the Atmos Orange goes higher and reaches down to senior, and a 47 gram Lamkin Dual Feel tops both in different core sizes. The loft card reads 9, then 10.5, then a 12 for right-handers. Golfers who would rather move mass around themselves want the M5, which is the only other head this year that lets them.
