Scooter316 32 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Got bored at work today and decided to play around with the weights on the new M1. Thankfully Taylormade made the 2017 M1 significantly easier to move the weights onto the different rails of the club. This allows for both weights to be placed on the front (draw/fade) or back (high/low) tracks. With a few M1 heads kicking around I decided to fill both tracks with 4 weights (see pic below). The shaft in the driver I was using for this was a 65gram shaft, by no means an overly heavy shaft, but the feeling of having an added 72 grams of weight into the head brought back memories of weighted head training clubs. Out of curiosity I threw it into a swignweight scale and, to no surprise at all, it maxed out the scale (pic below). The scale maxes out at G8, so I would put a guess that the weight ended up around I8 or as high as J2. Obviously this would be an illegal driver with this much weight in the head, but for fun I decided to give it a swing. Now using a typical club I would usually hit a driver around 280-285, but this much weight made it so tough to swing I couldn't make a comfortable swing that got over 210. Hope to get some feedback about any other "unique" weighting experiments that others have tried. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JudgeSmails 2,227 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 very cool, fun to play around with that stuff. I have the 2016 M1, would it still be conforming to move both weights to the front or back?

jdwjdw 2 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I've got an M1 2016 and moved both weights to the back of the sole and it feels and plays close to an M2. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Golfspy_CG2 26,391 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 That's pretty neat. I have to say, I looked at the picture before reading your post and thought it was a M1 on Steriods...ha Quote TSi2 Kuro Kage 50g R Flex TSi2 16.5 FW with GD AD IZ 6 Shaft G410 FW 7 Alta CB R flex G410 Hybrid 26 degree Alta CB R Flex T100S/T200 Combo 5-7 T100S 8-P T200 TT Black Oynx R Flex SM7 54.08 F 58.12 K Heppler Tomcast ProV1X Play number 12 Link to post Share on other sites

CFrazier 202 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Just got my M1's back from Continental Golf today.... Had them sandblast and paint them to match my old SLDR driver (pictured). I think they look much better than the white... what do you guys think?
