The TaylorMade M6 is a 2019 driver built around forgiveness, pairing Twist Face with a fixed Inertia Generator that stores 46 grams of weight low and back in the head. It went on sale in February 2019 alongside the more adjustable M5, and it remains one of the more common used TaylorMade drivers you will find today.
What Made the M6 Different From the M5
Both drivers used the same Injected Twist Face, which is more open and lofted in the high toe and more closed and less lofted in the low heel to keep spin and direction more consistent on mishits. Where the M5 offered an Inverted T-Track with two movable 10 gram weights, the M6 skipped adjustable weighting and relied on the Inertia Generator instead. TaylorMade said this was made possible by using about 54 percent more carbon than the M4. Both heads also had a more flexible Hammerhead 2.0 slot and a carbon crown piece about 10 percent larger than before, with a matte finish to cut glare.
Lofts, Shafts and the D-Type
The M6 driver came in 9, 10.5 and 12 degree lofts, with Fujikura Atmos Orange 5 and Atmos Black 6 stock shafts. The M6 D-Type added a closed face and a draw bias that TaylorMade put at roughly 20 yards more than the standard head, which suits players who fight a slice. The M6 line also included a fairway wood with a reworked Speed Pocket and a rescue hybrid with Twist Face, so you can match a driver to the rest of the set.
