Feel<\/h2>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t surprising to read in Matt\u2019s review of the M3 that the\u00a0<strong>impact sound is \u201csimilar to a wooden baseball bat<\/strong>,\u201d as that\u2019s exactly what my\u00a0field notes stated for the M4.\u00a0 Just like at a ball park, the sound is\u00a0<strong>distinctive<\/strong>\u00a0and grabs your attention, but doesn\u2019t make you flinch.\u00a0 TaylorMade calls this\u00a0<strong>Geocoustics<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the blend of head geometry and acoustical engineering.<\/p>\n<p>The M4 feels\u00a0<strong>very stable at impact<\/strong>, even on off center strikes.\u00a0 There\u2019s\u00a0<strong>subtle feedback<\/strong>\u00a0in your hands, but hits feel solid unless you really get out on the toe or heel.\u00a0 I\u2019d attribute this to the long Speed Pocket behind the face and the split internal weighting.<\/p>\n<h2>Performance<\/h2>\n<p>While I was collecting data at Club Champion, I paused a few times to soak in what was on the big screen in front of me \u2013 and hoped one of the fitters might walk by.\u00a0 I had witnessed\u00a0<strong>great ball flight<\/strong>\u00a0on the driving range, but seeing the line painted right down the middle on the screen is something else.\u00a0 The TaylorMade M4 is billed as producing \u201c<strong>straight distance<\/strong>\u201d and that\u2019s exactly the result I achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Launch angle and spin rate were\u00a0<strong>very consistent<\/strong>, a testament to the forgiveness of the\u00a0<strong>Speed Pocket<\/strong>\u00a0and split weighting.\u00a0 Although adjustability has its merits, not having it in the hosel allowed the TaylorMade designers to redistribute the associated weight savings and\u00a0<strong>lower the center of gravity<\/strong>.\u00a0 That\u2019s really beneficial when hitting the M4 fairway wood off the deck.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>For most golfers, the fairway woods only gets called upon a few times a round when reaching a par 5 in two is in play.\u00a0 The consistency and distance that the TaylorMade M4 wood demonstrated has me pondering also teeing it up on tight, penal holes.\u00a0 If, like me, you don\u2019t hit the sweet spot every time, you definitely need to check out the TaylorMade M4 fairway woods.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLUB TYPE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05-WOOD MAKE:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 TAYLORMADE MODEL:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0M4 LENGTH: CONDITION:\u00a0 \u00a0BRAND NEW Weight: Lie Angle:\u00a0 \u00a0<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":987,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"product_cat":[21],"product_tag":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/986"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=986"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ahggolf.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
