TAYLORMADE M6 DRIVER REVIEW

[@markspriggs1962]

I’ve been lucky enough to try this club, feels really good in hand and some of the trackman results backed up the development. Not sure about the price though, let’s get players back onto the course not trying to earn money to pay for it

[@aliogg]

Great review James. I’ve just won this driver in a fantasy golf competition, not been using a driver for a few years as only recently got back into playing regularly, absolutely buzzing to get my hands on this!!

[@tyeeggleston6159]

Looks good..i also like that the sound it. Makes when impacting the ball isn't "tinny" sounding

[@richardsdiaz1]

There seems to be a misconception that they put speedfoam in the drivers this time. My understanding is that the material in question is a resin designed to make the face less hot! According to TaylorMade all M5 and M6 drivers would be too hot and too fast without the resin and would therefore be illegal. TaylorMade is claiming they are measuring how hot the face is on each individual driver head and adding the exact amount of resin needed to bring all of the drivers to precisely barely legal! Hard to believe they’re going to put that much work into each individual head.... but that’s the claim! So that’s what the”everyone gets faster” claim really means! It used to be that only the tour guys had their heads checked for how hot they were. They got the best ones. Now, supposedly, we’re all going to get equally hot heads! I’ll believe it when people test this claim and validate it. I’m 100% for this development, though, if it’s legit!

[@stefanmerk21]

Love your reviews mate, your easily one of my favorite KZbin golfers to watch now, I game the m3 driver and woods and I’m STOKED to try the 2019 line up, keep up the great vids!

[@raginasianinvasion]

Really happy to see you succeed James. Been watching you since day one and your videos just get better and better: Keep those subs coming!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Thanks Mike! Really appreciate that message :)

[@gegh08]

Thanks for another great honest video. You are the perfect mix of entertaining and educational!!

[@nicmansfield5769]

Fore left! I’m not sold on the looks, will be sticking with my excellent M3

[@belmore]

Thank you for talking about the head cover!

[@robdavey1537]

great review, as always honest in your assessment good to see you stuff up a few too

[@connorcasswell8246]

Another great honest review, keep up the good work.

[@zeikfrost9129]

Great videos James switched from watching rick shiels to now watching you alot more informative

[@hawkey100]

But the question is James , “ is it faster ?” That’s the what marketing says , so is it ? After seeing many reviews so far and including yours, doesn’t look like it to me. As well, your numbers are better with the TS3. The last 2 years it’s been TWIST FACE and FASTER and to me neither works as far as I can see

[@S.forbes]

Yeah completely agree, we all know the driver is gonna be good but the question that needed answering is " Is it faster than previous models" i feel like James seemed to gloss over that question 🤔 Plus he didn't really explain the reason for the resin being injected into the head. Very vanilla/generic review.

[@sduke39]

It's almost exhausting trying to keep up with the Taylormade product roll-outs. It's like what ever you buy this week is going to be out dated next week. I know that's an exaggeration....but not a crazy exaggeration. That said, I'd play that driver all day long. At least until next week when the M7 comes out.

[@josephdubiel7129]

Nice review James. One thing I do like about M 6 driver is there are plenty of good options. Such as Type D and plenty of shafts to choose from. There is no way being a senior I am going to smack the ball 271 yards like you but its nice to know the options available. Some of that info would be a nice addition. Peace my friend. Spider Dubiel

[@Cornwall1888]

I’ll keep my m4 for a few years, will buy the m12 in 2022 if I like the look of it Screws are a gimmick

[@sg5733]

Brilliant 🤣🤣👍🏻

[@bencuff6368]

Saw this comment on rick shiels video😂😂😖😖

[@Cornwall1888]

Palmetto State Golf it was me

[@mrdudelove1]

You should change every year and be cool........

[@greglinnell9602]

The screws are just another gimmick in a long line. My cousin's son at Auburn, sank the winning putt to beat Alabama in the SEC Tournament and then anchored them at East Lake. He was using a PingG400 and was talked into the TM. He couldn't hit a fairway, and lost distance from the Ping. So, back he went to the Ping, but has been testing, but not using yet, a PXG driver. Your time frame is a bit off. Are you in the business? Doesn't sound like it.

[@dnakagawa2910]

Would love to see how it compares to the new Cobra F9.

[@TonyAhie]

Nice sound track chill as, kept me watching, good content too

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Cheers Tony 🤙🏼⛳️🎥

[@zacharymilos392]

Sounds miles better than Flash. James... you should do a 2016 M2 vs 2019 M6, and 2016 M1 vs 2019 M5. Let's really see how much distance TM is giving us long term.

[@jamesjackson4264]

Zachary Milos I don’t think it will give more distance just more forgiveness.

[@waynepadley1337]

It won’t be £500 in most pro shops but dear enough ! Can you test it against Ping g 410 and Mizuno st 190 please James. !

[@philmaidwell6726]

Another great informative video, sorry if this question has been asked before but what happens should you have an off centred hit and ball comes of the ‘screws’. Does it come of faster/slower?

[@richardsdiaz1]

Great review! You know, what’s funny? The new M6 looks like a cross between the new Cobra F9 “Speedback” and the Wilson Triton driver’s graphics. Doesn’t it? It’s all TaylorMade on the crown, though! Lol! The overall effect is certainly less classy than the M5 but still a very nice looking club. I love that TaylorMade finally did away with the two-tone look on the crown! Performance is king regardless! If these new drivers deliver the goods on off center hits these could well be their best selling drivers in years! Looking forward to all the on course tests to follow!

[@belmore]

I definitely noticed the F9 speedback similarities.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

IT SO DOES! Lol

[@richardsdiaz1]

James Robinson Golf it appears this low CG idea, max MOI IDEA is going to spread to the whole industry? Not the best looking innovation, slapping a coffin on the butt end of a driver, but if it works, I’m all for it.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Gordon Gray thanks mate

[@jpugolf1727]

Enjoyed the review James...not a fan of the TM circus. ..only one thing missing from the is review James , the price...£500...That's £500. I would spend that on lessons if I want to spend get more distance..

[@alanjordan6198]

I'd like to see a head to head with the Titleist TS 3

[@robmclain6423]

Ts2&3

[@billryan8707]

They all must count James

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Ah the 11th commandment lol

[@viktorioussss]

Hey James, is it basically a lock that TM will update the m6 and m5 irons in January of 2020? Or might this be a time where the M6 is pretty close to being so good that an "m8" or big shift away from it would not happen next season? Maybe they release an updated M6 instead? Your thoughts?

[@ajaytuk7416]

Mr Shields has lower ball speed and gets over 300 (on the GC Quad) - Get fitted for better launch and lower spin and I reckon you should be over 300 your self?

[@mrdudelove1]

Voila!

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

I think shaft flex is more important than the head.Do you agree? Best shaft I ever used was the blue Adilla Pro extra stiff. Great videos by the way.

[@simonhobbs9349]

Would be good to see it up against the Ping G400, particularly as it is nearly double the price.

[@Aaronfps2]

James did they add anymore twist to the twistface with it only being half a degree of twist in the m3/m4 ?

[@pcxcado]

Great review mucker, not sure it looks better than the m4...

[@bencuff6368]

pcxcado it’s hard to tell from the video

[@markbrook4697]

where is the price range on these? Great Video as always James

[@jamieogden7995]

When are you testing the new epic flash?

[@christiandavid7734]

Great video

[@jamesieboy100]

A test against your beloved M3 would be good. I'm guessing the M5 andM6 are around the £499 mark. How much can you pick up an M3 for now.? I would guess around £200 less Are these £200 worth better? I doubt it. But if you have a spare £499 and feel the need to have the latest equipment crack on. Where does it all end? At the end of the day a lot depends on the pilot.

[@wadepreston3401]

I would like to see how this compares to the TS3 and the New PXG XF gen 2 Drivers

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

COR is still ,limited to 0.85, so how can it hit further than for example a Burner TP or R11 which are on the limit of cor?

[@chrismayor5147]

James, the difference is extremely small. Imagine you were the average golfer on the national average wage. Tell me honestly, would you change a 2 year old driver say for this at £500? If you answered yes, which I would seriously doubt , then imagine you are married with 2 children. Same question? Isn't the average golf handicap about 20 for men? Sure it will be going up when handicaps are allowed past 28. Too much money for too little difference in my opinion. Taylor Made and Callaway do my head in. Every year, 2 more drivers, proclaiming all sorts. Yet test show very little dispersion improvement or distance. " oh look at that, 2 yards longer than the ......". If you are not straight that is 2 yards deeper in the rough, woods, now made the water instead of coming up short.

[@micklees6967]

Not a bad review. However having already watched Rick Shields it wasn't as good. He compared with M3/4 to see the difference. Basic point was not worth updating but it did give an extra 3/4 yards, so worth buying. Also since the strap line is 'we all get faster' the main point was ball speed off the face wasn't faster for him and it would of been nice to see how it compared for you. All the best.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

The difference being I’ve got loads of more videos for you to come with providing daily content. Thanks for the input Mick

[@micklees6967]

Look forward to them

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Mick Lees cheers

[@robhampton6216]

Wallet emptying speed ,brings tears to the eyes thinking about it, smoke and mirrors to the average hacker.most other drivers are as good

[@chawsheng2257]

Love the vid

[@The1blackpool]

I feel it’s an incomplete review without discussing the price !! It’s a factor in many golfers eyes but that would mean upsetting the company that sends you the clubs so I guess you’ll avoid that

[@gtsgolf9410]

how does its MOI compare to the Ping G400 Max?

[@mrdudelove1]

How long will these screws stay bolt???

[@Mitch1977]

James nice review. You swap your current driver for one of those, & I’ll be disappointed, so will you! Ha!

[@colinwilson8351]

Ye price again is a joke i can get a weeks golf all inclusive for the price of this so a new driver and the club membership due no wonder people are giving up golf

[@chrisharris9385]

I would like to see demo the new Cobra F 9 driver

[@bund440]

Still not 300 yrs then, didn’t you get 290 with the Titleist TS

[@mrdudelove1]

Should test these off center hits on the screws

[@bobstanko1213]

Sorry but they don't seem like original designs, the M6 looks like the new f9 speedback from cobra. The M5 switched the track around that looks just like the cortex early designs before switching to a single track. Really to me the only new tech here is the speed foam, which while it works in the irons, I'm not sold on it yet.

[@richardsdiaz1]

Bob Stanko I don’t think it’s speedfoam this time. I think it’s a resin designed to make the face less hot. My understanding is that all M5 and M6 drivers would be too hot and too fast without the resin and would therefore be illegal. TaylorMade is claiming they are measuring how hot the face is on each individual driver head and adding the exact amount of resin needed to bring all of the drivers to precisely barely legal. Hard to believe they’re going to put that much work into each individual head.... but that’s the claim! So that’s what everyone gets faster means! Used to be only the tour guys had their heads checked for how hot they were. They got the best ones. Now, supposedly, we’re all going to get equally hot heads!

[@bobstanko1213]

@@richardsdiaz1 I don't doubt it, so speed foam is the wrong word, based on testing thought it seems to not produce faster speeds than previous models. Seems like the foam has dampened it too much. Honestly if this is something that they are trying to adjust per head, maybe it should be more of a custom fit option in the future. Obviously that would involve a much more involved process and much higher cost to produce and fit. Probably unfeasible, but could completely redefine the fitting process and be much more tour-like experience, such as the hot melt and injections some company's do for their tour pro's.

[@richardsdiaz1]

Bob Stanko I’m all for more options! I’d want an M5 with the hottest face they ever produced....and an easily removable screw so I can take a heat gun to that resin!!! 😝

[@christopherclarke5978]

It looks great but £500. It will be £150 in a year's time lol

[@Cornwall1888]

Christopher Clarke m4 was £350 it’s £180 in American golf now

[@greglinnell9602]

Christopher Clarke, not even a year, try six months when they roll out another. 🙄

[@Cornwall1888]

Greg Linnell no they don’t the new clubs come out in February every year

[@evankelley9064]

Greg Linnell they put out one every year, not every 6 months

[@allanmannion9028]

Doesn’t seem any better than your Titleist, that you were trying to brake the 300 yard mark with 🏌️‍♂️

[@martymcbride3234]

Average yardage?

[@rollupthefruit7798]

TS3 is here to stay JR! or G400Max

[@marksavage2474]

It does look sweeeeet

[@kevinclark5086]

As far as I can see there is no advancement at all in this driver. But has there been in the last 5 years? I used to hit my nike vapor pro as far as my m4 and come to think of it my yonex nanospeed from 10 years ago. And £500!!!

[@SearchBucket2]

Hold on. Was not COR limited to a maximum by the golfing authorities years ago, so they must be selling a myth? Is this not simply a driver made expensive by sports car styling? I've also noticed over the years the shaft length of drivers had slowly crept up. I wonder if every millimeter is needed to increase those stats by centimeters? If you have money to burn I guess you wouldn't care? Next they'll be saying every driver in the M-Series go to Germany to be "tuned" ... lol

[@George-vs2wv]

The expected life of a driver is 12 months right now,alot of time can be saved on reviews etc by just changing clubs every year,next years reviews will be faster and longer,so just go and buy a new driver.

[@icecmu]

where is the Cobra F9 review??????

[@adamtuck1272]

Almost Titleist 910 headcover

[@stiaanheymans2936]

The screws things lowers speed according to Rick Shiels

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Absolutely mate. Helps maximise speed as well. Without them they wouldn’t be able to produce the faces as thin as they do

[@joshcotton4452]

@Mike Austin Fan sadly then the club would be illegal. On shiels channel he said foam was put in there to bring it into the conformation guidelines

[@joshcotton4452]

@Mike Austin Fan but is it really worth £500 like Callaway. I'm leaning towards cobra £150 cheaper

[@joshcotton4452]

@Mike Austin Fan I'm likely going for cobra but might get Callaway but it would be my last driver purchase for a very very long time. I have the money so want to get what's right for me

[@joshcotton4452]

@Mike Austin Fan I was hoping the ping g410 was coming out soon but not heard anything

[@stangcobr]

It doesn't make sense spending $550 every time a new driver debuts, you can find brand new M1 and M2's for $150..

[@mrdudelove1]

Probably going to break....because sound like plastic......2 years max and this will be destructed

[@shreythoughts.7322]

if anyone like to give any taylormade driver so please let me know

Next year it will be $200 which will be great.

Seen one. Seen the them ...... TS2 will smoke Twist Face!

[@darrenbell6376]

No thanks another joke of a a Taylor made driver 😪 was a sucker myself for buying a new driver every year but the price kills new equipment now. Will never buy new equupment ever again my money goes on golf membership now. Last 3 years drivers all go same distance for me it's all about direction and forgiveness for me now. I'll stick with my epic for years to come thank you 👌

[@neoone75]

Taylormade M6 = Titleist 915/917 D2

[@philliosr3615]

Similar ball speed to Rick shiels but lower overall distances. How odd.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Not particularly, distance comes from way more factors than ball speed

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Not particularly, distance comes from way more factors added together than purely ball speed 🧐

[@philliosr3615]

Very true. Just an observation that you have that 310 in tou

[@greglinnell9602]

Every six months, TaylorMade rolls out the next best thing. Just wait, in six months comes another.

[@greglinnell9602]

Gordon Gray, patently true! I have a good friend in that industry, and one that sells TM. They have been doing that forever, so, practice what you preach...do YOUR homework!

[@greglinnell9602]

Gordon Gray, different than what TM says at their facility in CA. What do you do, make tees? Oh, by the way, Honda rolls on four year cycles, per my son in law in the industry as a Honda SM. Even if they were on a one year cycle, TM makes trash.

[@greglinnell9602]

Gordon Gray, can't stand the heat? I'm not a troll, as I enjoy James Robinson, and I understand the industry.

[@Olavdachamp]

[@zionsampson932]

James Robinson Golf, In my opinion, I fell you have said what TaylorMade wants you to say and not what you think so much. Its almost as if you are hyping it up. You didn't say not one negative thing which concerns me.

[@aaronrothwell9026]

Still did not get over 300 yards! Stick with what you got, same numbers! I love all this taylormade bullshit hype shite!! Some idiot will buy it thinking they will smash it as far as DJ! (Save Yer money, and get lessons!)
