TAYLORMADE M6 vs TAYLORMADE M4... Does Everyone Get Faster? 

Thank you for the review James ! I enjoy your channel.

Good honest review James, like how you kept those hooks in as well, swing is looking good.

Great video James. I'd love to see you compare the first M drivers to the latest M drivers. Let's see what 3 years difference does! Thanks you, keep it up!

Hey James ! Really enjoying your videos!:) iam a high handicap golfer but gonna put more focus in to golf this year. I was hoping maybe you could make a video about different number such as spin rates, launch angles and so on for different clubs:) Best regards for Norway !

Really good video! There would seem to be a clear difference between the 2 drivers! I’d be interested in seeing how you do with a properly fit M4/M6. I suspect the stock Stiff shafts you used for this test played into the results a bit! Still the test was well worth it! Keep it coming! The one I really want to see is your M3 VS the new M5. Next on the list for me would be TS3 vs M5! I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!! 😀😀

Love your videos as you and your “mid handicapper” are much closer to me and my golfing partners in skill and humor. With all this “new technology” testing, I’d like to see you compare it with your overall gaming averages of all testing. Similar to what RS has been doing of late. Keep up the good work !!!

Good test! I would like to see tests comparing older equipment to the newest stuff, maybe even throw in some really old drivers.

Thanks again, James. Great vid👍

Great stuff James keep it up ☺, I would love to see them on the course, as with Marks results with the M6 your dispersion looked pretty good, that's what impressed me the most when Mark did the M6, and that's the sort of thing that would give me confidence with a driver, and I would be very interested to hear what you think about the M6 as far as it's forgiveness is concerned Also I would be interested if once you've done a few driver reviews this year, if you might be able to range the drivers on forgiveness and distance

I wouldn't be fussed if taylormade brought them out and was honest and said, these look different so we brought these out, rather than create some jargon marketing bullcrap about getting faster.

Great honest review.. best thing about them realising new clubs is it drives the price down on the last model 😀

Great comparison test James. Looks to be an improvement over M4, but the price tag is frightening! Would love to see a head to head pitting the TM drivers against Cobra's new (and cheaper) F9.

917 vs ts3 please James. Great vid, thanks for the great content.

Great head to head James. Looking forward to the M3 vs M5 head to head! Also can you do the same head to head with the Callaway flash drivers ans last years models. I think this is the only true test of detremining whether the new drivers are better. Thanks

Decent review, I quite like the club comparisons 👍🏻

great video as always !

This is first video iv watched of you thought you were good so I subscribed to hopfuly see you take these 2 clubs out on the course I would love to see how they perform on the course

Like the honest review, would like to see 5 shots with each and then another five...allowing for warming up and also fatigue.... that said great review. Thanks

Yes James, I would like to see you test the M4 & M6 on the course please.

Good review James getting the M4 and saving 200 quid

Take them out on the course. That's where the real test will be. i like the review. keep up the good work.

Best comparison I've seen yet on these two.. Would love to see them compared to my driver ( Ping G400 LST).. My course is quite tight so it's more about dispersion on off centre hits than distance, but if the TM's have a tighter dispersion on those shots and get a few more yards then I'd consider swapping.. keep up the great work James... :-)

great video James .....love the head to head TM said the m6 was illegal before the resin was added i'd like to see the numbers from the illegal m6 compared to the legal m6 .......all the companies keep coming out with new gear they've reached the limit on how far they can go now it seems all about the looks not worth the price for looks .......keep up the great work James

another great video James im currently playing the m4 and love it I wont be changing any time soon how ever would love to see a head to head between the new epic flash vs the original epic driver

My strike causes 50 yards difference in distance, that’s a lot more than any £500 driver can achieve. Like I’ve said before I’ll keep my m4 for a while

Yes mate take them to the course. Looking forward to you testing the new Ping G 410. Cheers !

I definitely wanna see a on course test! The thing is though everything is so close these days, it does all come down to the magician,not the wand! Granted a well fitted wand is also the best way to go!

Great driver comparison really enjoyed it, I would love to see you compare the epic flash against the rogue 🤞 Have you tested the Mizuno driver yet and if so when will your video be released

You hit the nail on the head. Launch angles and spin rates. So many people get caught up with swing speeds and ball speeds. Majority of players can gain yardages with their existing drivers just by improving their launch angles.

Hi James love all you videos I've just traded my taylormade r15 for the taylormade m4 9.5° I'm well impressed with the look of it but as we are in lockdown I haven't hit it yet but courses open tomorrow so can't wait to hit this up the driving range

Please do a comparison of the M6 versus the Cleveland launcher 460 from 2006! I'm guessing there won't be all that much difference.

Club tech can only do so much, in the end its down to the person swinging the club that gets the results. But this is the time to get the last years models as they are going to be a lot cheaper now lol. Also compare drivers from cheaper brands like Wilson, Benross etc to see if you get the same numbers! Does price really matter? Great video James!!

Another great test, truth about all these drivers has to be personal choice, fitting is so important

I would like to see you test the TS2/3 VS M5/M6. Then the Epic Flash/SubZero too.

I have an m4 and am more than happy i wouldn't upgrade due to the cost of the m6 and the fact the increase is so minimal i doubt i wouldnt notice it. Good review james thanks mate

Great test James honest as always how about a head to head with the Flash!

good test. it would be interesting to see if different shafts affect ball speed.

Realy great test continue like that

Always love your videos and I try to watch every one of them. I like watching the driver comparisons, even if it's just the newest club compared to your "normal" shots. The numbers for the newest club are useless without a comparison to something. For this test, you were swinging slightly faster with the M6 so your club head speed was 1.2 mph faster. That accounts for probably half of the extra distance. The M6 is still slightly better but if I had an M4 (which I don't), I'm not sure I'd rush out to spend all that money for less than 5 yards more (using the same club head speed). If the dispersion was a lot less, that would certainly make a better case for buying the M6. Sad to say but my shot consistency is crap so I know that all this technology can't fix everything.

Great job, I was thinking of getting the M6 over my M4. After watching your review. I don't think it's worth the extra money. I guess I'll hold onto the M4 for Now.

quite scientific testing.like it. please continue!

Hi James. I had a fitting for M6 this week. My old Taylormade R11s was giving me 216 yards. M6 best shot was 263 yards!!! But easily 20 yards further on every shot. I am an 18 handicapper. I felt £399 was a good investment. I ordered one!

0-60 mph difference between Porsche Turbo and Turbo S is 0.2 seconds, price difference $50,000. Therefore M6 is a deal 😀

At the price of these things I think I'll stay with my M2..... although the price of an M4 is down to half in my area, so maybe upgrade to that but is it gonna make me a better driver of the ball....probably not...only practice and lessons may do that... great video James,always like these with you and Mark

James, it looks like the loft was lower for the M6. Possible that at your swing speed, the M6 9* accounts for the extra yardage?

Good honest review. I think you could setup up either driver in a fit and the difference would be very small, most increases from the new line seem to be done with higher launch and lower spin, speed wise I think it's very marginal almost not noticeable

I came here for a bmw race. M4 vs m6.

Great video 👍🏻

More of this please James, very helpful indeed. If possible it would be great to do this with rival clubs, M5 vs Flash Sub Zero for instance but with the same shaft ideally which I know complicates things somewhat. I think Taylormade have made a mess of their advertising, why have concentrated on ball speed instead of the one thing that will definitely get sales which is distance. I don't know any amateur golfers who talk about their ball speed, why go there????

Hi James, great content. I'd be interested to see the difference on course but I'd be much more interested in a comparison between the M6 and a 1st/2nd generation M1/M2. I know you saw 7 yards difference in todays' video but just how much difference is there over the past 4 years?

I think the real difference in these two drivers is the dispersion rate and how well you can control these drivers out on the fairway. Let us know what you think.

Yep, defo do an on course test.👍🏌️‍♂️

Only point I would make is that the club you finish hitting will go better as you are warmed up more. I tested the M6 last year against an old Callaway driver X and did not change following the test. This year I tried the M4 and am now bagging the M4 at a great price

Looking forward to see you hitting thr Cobra F9 bumblebee!!

Definitely would love to see the Cobra F9 Speedback vs last year’s Cobra F8+

Good video James, do you have access to an SLDR in the same loft as an m5 you can test? I keep going back to my sldr year after year... wonder if it’s just because the head is so much heavier than all their new ones

F9 Vs M5 Vs Flash SZ Vs TS3 GOGOGOGOGO!!

James, great vid. Please test the original Epic Sub Zero against the Epic Flash Sub Zero. Cheers!

Having a fitted M4 and happy with it. I'm just getting used to play it. Is the M6 really an "upgrade"? I personally doubt about. What really matters to me is dispersion and consistency, not gaining few yards, a lower iron on next shot can fix that. I'm a mid handicap golfer, I expect to play my M4 some more years and then switch for a M-uneven driver later (most likely a M11 or 13😅). I can better invest 500€ in golf lessons. Thanks for your videos James 🙏

Excellent comparison James, I would love to see your 'average handicap golfer' hit the M6 with each Atmos shaft option, I.e. Orange v Black (both regular and set to STD loft. Regards, RobB.

Great Mark. Realize may not always be convenient but a Mid Handicapper comparison relative to your assessment values would cover the whole spectrum of testing. Are the manufacturers standard shaft options for in this case drivers solely based iron byron type technology. Or is there a human factor interface.? Personally feel the manufacturers create these fantastic products for mainly adhoc distribution to the golfer and its now make the most of it, sales figures are priority. No apparent initiative over optimisation of fitting standards assuring you get close to what the product image portrays.?

I have a Taylormade M4 Driver (9.5) and 3 Wood. Fujikura Atmos Red, Stiff-Flex Graphite. Hoping to switch to M6 9.0 Driver and 3 Wood next year. Planning on acquiring Taylormade M6 3 Hybrid, Taylormade M6 irons (4-9, PW, AW), and Milled Grind 2 Wedges (54 and 60) next month. Fujikura Atmos Orange, Stiff-Flex Graphite.

Still rocking my OG M2. The difference between the two isn't enough to justify the price tag, even a year after the SIM driver came out. But if you've got a driver that's more than about 3-4 years old, any of these are definitely worth checking out.

Like the comparison. Any chance to do similar against budget drivers such as Benross and Tour Edge to see if it's worth paying the extra?

I would love to see a comparison between the newest drivers and and ones from 5-6 generations ago like Taylor made R11S or similar. Since some can only afford to change a driver every 5-7 years. That is where many would like to see the comparison and if there is a 20 yard gain from 2012 drivers. They can then upgrade to an M4 when they are on sale at 40% less.

Great review James , I think most people don't upgrade everytime there's a new club out , although I'm sure a few minority do . But surely it is your golf swing that makes the most difference, is 7 yards a big deal , I think not, all the marketing and super fancy names that all the club manufacturers use year on year for there technology I find a turn off and bores me and really is pushing me away from the game rather than attracting me to it. Am I alone with this though🤔. Keep up the good work.

I use the Taylomade M4 driver but I wouldn't switch to M6 because the M4 is perfect for me. Great video!

Hi James. Hope your staying safe during this pandemic.🤞🙏 I bought the M4 when it first came out(like a lot of people). 🤔 Not sure about the twist face tech ? (Fast forward to 2020)I've recently (about a year ago) got the JPX 919 HM irons. I really like the new Mizuno ST200 driver(and hybrids) I've hit it and it feels and looks good. What are your thoughts on the ST200 and would it be worth seriously looking in to ? Even if it's only 2 years old. I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks !

2016 M2 here, it's going to be a few years before I switch, my driver is still a more than viable club!

Hey that was a great review. Can you put in the 2016 M2 driver? A lot of my friends will not give up that driver and is like to see if the numbers would be worth it to trade up to the M6

Hi James. Could you please compare the Cobra F9 against the TM6 and Epic Flash when it comes out please? Three forgiving/fast drivers should be interesting. Especially as the F9 has a lower price point.

Got the m4 and staying . Very great driver !

Because the manufacturers are at or near the design limits set by the USGA and R&A, there are only slight incremental gains to be found and their Marketing depts are desperately trying to make the small gains seem bigger. The reality of ALL the Driver releases due this year is that they will be better, but not by much. But anyway can we have a mass Test at the end of the release season, to test the new Titleist, TM, Callaway, Ping (coming soon), Cobra, Mizuno, Srixon and last but not least PXG offerings to find the Champion!

Still using the M2... finds the fairway, why spend £500 just the sake of a few yards... saying that if one was going free... another great Video James, and defo try them on the course together... maybe with the M2 as well?

Thanks for the good review. I have an M4 and doubt I will buy the M6 unless someone steals or I lose the M4. Even if that happens there is no guarantee I’ll buy a TaylorMade. I have absolutely no brand loyalty. There are just too many great drivers out there, so many good manufacturers... so many good choices.

I'd like to see the G400 LST versus the M6 tested at 9*, both in house and on the course. I am interested to see what the spin rates are and the overall performance. For that matter, I'd like to see the G400 LST versus any of the new offerings, as it was considered the best driver of 2018 by many, or at the very least, the most wanted. Could use it as a measuring stick for the newer offerings to see if they actually outperform it or is the marketing buzz just hype with the 2019 lineup?

Love the previous model and current model comparisons. How about for fun comparing the new M6 to a much older Taylormade driver like an R9? Should be huge differences, right or no???

I've heard that the new Cobra F9 is supposed to increase ball speed as well, could you possibly review that in the near future? And then once some numbers are available, pit it against the equivalent Calloway or Taylormade.

Just picked up an M6 on clearout....all of the testing and reviews I've seen suggest that the difference between M6 and SIM or SIM2 are negligible. To be fair I'm still hitting my G400 just fine....I'm a sucker for a bargain to test things out for myself and see if I can't find one I can be more consistent with. Drivers have been pinned against the max COR for more than 10 years. They have been working with moving the weight inside the head, and toying around with swing weight to help with forgiveness, launch conditions, and eeking out a few extra MPH of clubhead speed. Even with those elements there is a ceiling that probably the clubs are banging their heads off now. When you find one that works for your swing - game that one until the head blows up!!

On the basis most people don't change their driver every year, better to see a comparison on say a 2/3 year basis, although totally understand why you compare with last year's model.

Would be keen to see your numbers on gc2/quad James..swing speeds etc as your ball speeds indicate your shots should be going farther

Hey James great review. Any chance of a Cobra F8 vs F9 test please?

Almost half of the M4 shots would have been deep In the trees or OB. With one outright mishit at 244 yards. Not sure this makes for a fair comparison. All the pulls left would jump up the ball speed with M4 and the 244 shot would bring the average distance down. I know this has been discussed before but eliminating outright mishits might be something to consider for a true comparison of the capabilities of each club. Always enjoy your content James!

Good bid as always. Course testing would be good to see. For me £500 for 21 feet extra no

2017 m1 vs m5. Some people wait 2-3 years before switching drivers. Is there a big enough difference in distance and forgiveness? Also would really like to see a comparison in the new ts3 or ts2 range vs m5 or m6.

Hit the course james!!!

Got my M6 today! Excitement!🤣😂

Good comparison thumbs up. How about a test on drivers and 3 woods say 5 years old there must be a ton out there due to the constant upgrades and possibly at a price i feel comfortable paying, say around the $200.00 mark or lower. I currently play a 909 Titliest D3 which I like cheers

M3 vs M5 please..... though as I've just got the M3 I won't be changing as the biggest difference will be what swing I make not which bat I use so I'll be concentrating on improving that through lessons rather than spending £500 on a new driver

Yes please James used them on course please

I don’t buy into the marketing guff, but do switch drivers at least once a year because I am a sucker for good looking drivers and this is right up there

Could you do a comparison on the original M2 vs M6 to see what the difference is between original & new

I use the M4 9.5 Driver and 3 Wood. Will be getting M6 for the irons (4-PW) and rescue hybrid club (#3).

I appreciate this review. Was considering which one I will buy. Probably just get the m4 to be honest... The m6 is slightly better yes, but is it worth that much more? Not for a non professional probably not.

Good test james well presented but cost will also become a big factor as presumably the m6 costs a lot more than the m4 so 1 mph extra, more expensive not so sure 🤔

Can u do this comparison with the Titleist ts2 vs the Titleist 917 D2?

How about the Mizuno St180 James?.....good value and lots of people raving about it?

The general comment seems to be that there is effectively no difference. The one mph ball speed differential , is pretty much in the only significantly "slow" swing result , which fell within the M4 batch ( no. 6). Minus 10 mph amounts to 1 mph overall , and four of the other M4 swing results if repeated instead of the exceptionally poor hit would have tipped the average the other way , i.e. to slightly favour the M4. Further , the fastest outright speed (and distance) was achieved by the M4 - (shot 7) All in all there seems hardly anything in it. Very enjoyable and informative test and probably the best that could be done in a reasonably compact assessment.Thanks very much.

Hi, where did you buy the impact box? I’m building my own simulator room but I don’t know where to find the right projector/impact screen. Thanks! Great video!

Currently have the m4 , just finished a fitting process with f9 m5 and m6 , lets just say the m4 stays for a while yet
