TaylorMade M2 irons Look Feel ClubTest 2017

Muscular, tech-heavy look; the big, rounded head features all kinds of space-age touches-a nonconformist that wears its engineering well; the vertical slots on the clubface and painted bottom groove can help with aiming.

At impact, a flat, mellow sensation makes your hands happy; heavy sole feels ready for liftoff; doesn't flinch in gnarly situations-rock-steady through the turf.

Probably the new M2's greatest strength, one of the best in its class; keeps the lid on misses and works well even when your swing doesn't; most testers can manage the long irons; swing with impunity-round-killing foul balls are happily quite rare.
