Our TaylorMade M1 vs. Callaway GBB Epic 3-wood comparions took place on the range at Reunion Resort in Florida, where conditions on the day were warm and windy.
The M1 and GBB Epic drivers have arguably been the headline drivers for the 2017 season with both having plenty of early success on tour, but we wanted to find out how the fairway woods stacked up when put head to head.
TaylorMade M1 vs. Callaway GBB Epic – The methodology
With our Anonymous Big Hitter not allowed to leave the UK, this was a job for his American cousin Randy who had been helping us with testing while over in Orlando for the PGA Show.
Each model had a 15-degree head with a 70-gram stock stiff shaft. Randy hit a number of shots with each club and the results were monitored on Trackman 4 under the watchful eye of our resident pro James Whitaker.
TaylorMade M1 vs. Callaway GBB Epic – The technology
The Callaway GBB Epic features a super-light carbon crown – 78 percent lighter than steel – which allows more weight to be moved to aid stability and easy launch.
It really depends what you are looking for.
