Interesting concept. I feel like if this was going to work, they would've tried it 100 years ago. Smells like snake oil, but if it actually works, then sweet! Still gonna game my G fo-hunnit.

Thoughts? Is the new push going to be sacrifice distance for accuracy?

My question is how does this affect control? Some people "want" to hit a draw or fade and know that they can get more of one or the other by hitting it closer to the toe or heel.

As a high spin driver, I try to keep my ball strikes closer to the toe because anything on the heel would be a disaster. It works well enough for me. Do I change my swing/approach based on the equipment?

I will be hitting them for sure, but it's hard to beat the accuracy of my Titleist for just a little increase in distance, hard to beat TM fairway woods though, a lot of the old Adams tech in these heads it seems.

MyGolfSpy wrote a pretty good and honest article about it

New M4 looks a whole lot like the Adams XTD driver.

ETA: M4 vs XTD for reference





The new logos looks sweet, I’d game either of them. Doubt the tech is any better or worse than what is already out there.

I am 100% confused on what to buy now. I hate this feeling. Guess I just gotta man-up and pull the trigger on one. I like how the M1, M2, M3, and M4 look.

So, anyone get out there and try one yet? I hit the M3 yesterday and I am not a fan. I also tinkered with the 790 irons and I am a fan of those.

Funny reading through this thread, because I actually got fit into the M4 earlier this week.

Full disclosure: I’m about a 13 cap that battles constantly with over the top due to many years of competitive tennis muscle memory. I had a SLDR fit back in 2014 bc my distance needed improvement.

I actually went to two separate fitters here in Scottsdale. Ultimately it came down to two heads: the M4 or the Epic. I hit Ping, Cobra, rogue, but those two felt the best. The fitting was an hour and a half and as you all know, it’s all about the shaft.

Chris Ferguson at Hot Stix made me choose what I liked the best, and the reality is that my misses were much less penalizing w the M4.
Lately, I just have had trouble w my driver costing penalties while my irons and wedges have been the best they’ve ever been. (Desert golf really can be tough out of the box)

So, I feel like my swing is consistent enough for the new driver fitting. I should get it in about a week and I’ll give it a month to report back.

All this being said—I really wanted to move away from Taylor Made drivers bc I never really loved the sound or feel of the SLDR.

Guy at my club got one last week. I hit it. They’re ok. Not that big of a deal. Most people won’t even notice a difference.
