Tried and tested: TaylorMade’s M5 and M6 irons are here

TaylorMade M5 vs M6 irons: The results

I am still recovering from an operation so drafted in my colleague Craig Midddleton to do the hitting.

As you can see from the FlightScope data below the numbers are very impressive from a distance point of view.

Especially the M6 – they go further than any other irons we have tested to date.

Let’s point out that the M6 loft is 28.5 and the M5 is 30˚.

Craig’s normal carry with a 7-iron is 160-165 and was seeing up to 20-yard gains in distance.

And the sound and feel was really good too. They don’t feel anywhere near as dead and hollow as the M2 irons from a couple of years ago felt.

So you have to say these irons were doing exactly what they said they were going to do.

They are very easy to hit, they are forgiving and they go an absolute mile.

We think the looks are quite cool too – that added visual technology will be a bonus for some players.

So should these be going in your bag in 2019? Read our expert’s verdict on the next page…
