Forum Thread of the Day: “Best driver released in the last five years?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from tcatone5 who asks fellow GolfWRX members for their thoughts on what has been the best driver released in the last five years. While plenty of drivers get a mention, TaylorMade’s 2016 M2 has proved to be a popular choice.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PWood28: “2016 M2 or 2017 M1 440. I can’t hit anything as far and straight as I have these drivers. The 2016 M2 is more forgiving, but it just makes my misses go that much further in a bad direction. If I catch the M1 440 on a bad part of the face, the ball seems to be getting down a lot quicker and leaving me with some better options. When I catch it on the (imaginary) screws, the M1 is the longest driver I’ve played.”
- MtlJeff: “Epic deserves more love, not the most fun to hit driver, but dear god that thing was an LM warrior. Still cannot hit anything further.”
- Peanut191: “2016 M2 is still in the bag. Nice combination of forgiveness and distance.”
- ace036: “G400 Max. By far the most forgiving and straightest driver I’ve ever hit or gamed.”

The Epic for sure. How can anyone say an M1 440? Taylormade even admits it’s the worst head in their line. Worst MOI rating . Too low spinning for regular swing speeds and fade biased. G max is a good call. Most accurate thing ever made.

PWood28-do you play that mighty track, Pebblewood CC, in Bridgeman, Michigan? #17 easily one of the toughest holes in golf…Ping G30 turbulators yield revolutionary driver design!
