To do our TaylorMade M2 v Nike Vapor Fly driver test we knew it was a job for our anonymous big hitter.
We tried to contact him but soon discovered he’d gone on holiday so had to draft in his younger brother. Would he be an able stand-in?
Our TaylorMade M2 v Nike Vapor Fly took place at the Golf Shack at Moor Allerton in Leeds under the watchful eye of our resident pro James Whitaker.
All launch monitor data was gathered using Trackman 4.
TaylorMade M2 v Nike Vapor Fly – The methodolgy
It was a no brainer why we wanted to do this test as Rory McIlroy has been among the many Nike tour players who have made the switch.
Francesco Molinari and Brooks Koepka made the exact same switch and a certain Tiger Woods has recently put the M2 into play.
This test featured the 2016 M2 driver as apposed to the brand new one as we haven’t seen any tour players using the brand new model yet.
We wanted to see why the likes of McIlroy had made the switch to this particular driver.
Our anonymous big hitter’s younger brother hit a range of shots with the Nike Vapor Fly and then with the M2.
The exact same shaft was used in each driver.
