We tested the TaylorMade M2 irons on the practice ground at Moor Allerton, Leeds.
Conditions were windy and we were using non-premium balls.
A SkyTrak launch monitor was used to capture and compare data.

First impressions of the TaylorMade M2 irons
It’s clear that these are TaylorMade’s game-improvement irons for 2016 – replacing last year’s Aeroburner irons.
It makes the TaylorMade irons line-up a fairly simple one – PSi irons for better and tour players with the M2 as their super game improvers. Mid-handicappers may look towards their RSi range.
There is an M2 Tour range which are for the better player who still wants some added distance.
The standard TaylorMade M2 irons, which we tested, are quite chunky with plenty of off-set.
From the looks alone you can see these irons are about distance rather than finesse. They look like rocket-launchers.
The design is very cool and they fill you with plenty of confidence at address.
Technology in the TaylorMade M2 irons
These irons are all about distance, forgiveness and ball speeds.
There’s even a fluted hosel which has allowed 3g of weight to be redistributed into the head. And that weight is put low to give these irons a low centre of gravity.
This is key as TaylorMade have added very strong lofts throughout the set. But they say this will be off-set by a higher launch. Low CG will result in a higher launch.
