SPOTTED: A “TaylorMade M3” driver pops up on Instagram

Published

on

In November, two photos of a “TaylorMade M4″ driver were posted Instagram, and one of the photos indicated something called “Hammerhead” technology in the sole. Today, a TaylorMade “M3” driver was posted on Instagram from user “bryangolf,” who associates with PGA National Resort & Spa in his profile.

Based on the photo, it appears TaylorMade is using a different-looking weight track compared to its previous CG-adjustable M1 driver. The M1 drivers of 2016 and 2017 both used dual-weighted T-tracks to help displace weight toward the heel and the toe, and from back to front. It appears that this TaylorMade “M3” driver has a y-shaped track, also housing two weights. It also appears that TaylorMade is using carbon fiber in this “M3” driver, and it also displays the same “Hammerhead” technology in the sole as seen in the photo of the “M4.”

As the photos indicate, with the “M3” being weight-adjustable, and the “M4” having no CG adjustability, it could mean that the M3 is a replacement for the adjustable M1, and the M4 is a replacement for the non-adjustable M2.

What do you think about the photo of this new TaylorMade “M3” driver?

    To the guy that says he bought a M1 M2 and an M4. How did you buy an M4 when it’s not even out? Until they show us the top of the driver I’ll hold my evaluation on my opinion till then.

    Wait until all the info on the new M3 and M4 gets out there. Their approach with these drivers is a completely different than all others. Than you guys will really have something to debate about.

    Those weight tracks in the back going to the sides will do absolutely nothing.

    Does this one have white with the black top line like the previous models? Love the white and black way more than the grey and black.

      He actually got in a little bit of trouble but not from TM. He doesn’t actually work for PGA National but he works for the LOFT Golf trailer on the PGA National property. He had to take down the post for liability issues with PGA National.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
