We’ve already reviewed the TaylorMade 2017 M2 irons on a first hit basis but wanted to get some numbers from our anonymous big hitter.
Now before you get all serious, this was purely for fun.
The TaylorMade 2017 M2 irons are not aimed at elite players.

Their target audience is 15-30 handicappers who need maximum forgiveness and a bit of extra distance.
But we thought it would be good fun to see how far our anonymous big hitter could bash them.
TaylorMade 2017 M2 irons big hitter testing – The methodology
Err… Give the M2 irons to our anonymous big hitter and see how far he can hit them?
Well, we gave him 9,7,5 irons and monitored the numbers using Trackman under the watchful eye of our resident pro James Whitaker.
On the day conditions were freezing cold and foggy which weren’t ideal for maximum carry.
TaylorMade 2017 M2 irons big hitter testing – The results
Our resident pro James Whitaker actually hit the opening shot with a 9-iron.
He struck it beautifully. It carried 117 yards. He was delighted.
Our anonymous big hitters opening 9-iron shot carried 137 yards. James felt inadequate.
The numbers remained around the 140 yard carry with the 9-iron. The launch was really nice and high which is exactly what TaylorMade say the M2 iron is supposed to do.
According Trackman the ball was stopping dead or spinning back as the overall distance was less than the carry.
