Hybrids are one of my favorite clubs and I\u2019ve tried and tested quite a few. That being said, how did I like the Taylormade M2?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Long story short, if you like hitting your fairway woods you\u2019ll probably like the M2. It\u2019s bigger than the M1 and almost looks like a smaller fairway wood. It\u2019s priced great (for a high-end wood) and it\u2019s got great forgiveness built-in. I really liked how easy it was to align properly and it felt super comfortable. For me, the distance was near the top in terms of hybrids, and it was pretty easy to hit out of bad lies. Overall, I really liked the M2 and I\u2019d give it a thumbs up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-65bb19d6-6e82-4e9b-a9ba-10c737bfc868\"><li><strong><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01MR2IP11?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check The M2 Price On Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B01MR2IP11\" data-aawp-product-title=\"TaylorMade Rescue-M2 2017 4-22 S Golf Rescue Left Hand\">Check The M2 Price On Amazon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s all the info you were looking for then great. But if you wanted a more detailed review, be sure to watch the full video or check out the blog post below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taylormade M2 First Impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing I noticed was the M2 was slightly bigger than my previous hybrid and almost looked like a smaller fairway wood. The good news, I\u2019ve always hit my&nbsp;woods pretty well so it was an easy transition. A lot of mid to high handicap golfers struggle to hit their long irons, and something like this would be a good substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The M2 has a slightly&nbsp;taller face than the M1 which was to increase forgiveness and I definitely noticed it. I found the M1 pretty tough to hit, and this one was a lot better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also found the M2 to be super easy to align properly which was a big help. Some hybrids don\u2019t give much alignment help, so it was nice to see that. The only thing I didn\u2019t really like about the M2 was the sound. Other clubs sounded a lot better at impact, but the only thing that really matters is the performance\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did The Hybrid Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From my experience, the M2 clubs were made for the mid to high handicap golfer with a slower swing speed while the M1 series was the opposite. I could definitely hit the M2 a lot better than the M1, but my distance wasn\u2019t as long as some other hybrids out there. It wasn\u2019t a big difference, but it was a few yards on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The M2 gave me a mid-height ball flight and the consistency was a lot better than I was expecting. It wasn\u2019t the longest hybrid (for me) but the consistency it gave me was top-notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I liked about the M2 was that it was relatively easy to hit out of all lies. That\u2019s kind of the main point behind a hybrid (or rescue) club and the M2 was a lot better than other hybrids we tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the performance was pretty solid. Here\u2019s a demo video:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"TaylorMade M2 Hybrid\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_uK2QIv6b0Ps\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuK2QIv6b0Ps%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uK2QIv6b0Ps\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M29S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-01-25T17:00:06Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_uK2QIv6b0Ps\" data-src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuK2QIv6b0Ps%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">TaylorMade M2 Hybrid<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uK2QIv6b0Ps\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuK2QIv6b0Ps%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"TaylorMade M2 Hybrid\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"TaylorMade M2 Hybrid reviewed and tested by Mark Crossfield PGA professional AskGolfGuru.

Obviously, it\u2019s going to be better for people with a slower swing speed, but it\u2019s still an extremely good club for the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want something that\u2019s more like an iron,&nbsp; has more customization, and is better for working the ball around (draw\/fade) then you\u2019d probably want to go with the M1 (or newer M3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The price is extremely reasonable.<\/li><li>It has a bigger speed pocket than before.<\/li><li>It gave me more forgiveness than M1.<\/li><li>It had good alignment help.<\/li><li>It was good out of all lies.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It wasn\u2019t the best sounding club at impact.<\/li><li>Not many adjustments.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Performance score: 9<\/li><li>Price score: 10<\/li><li>Comfort &amp; feel score: 8<\/li><li><strong>Personal score: 8.5<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I really liked the M2 hybrid and would give it a thumbs up.
