Hybrid clubs are a fairly new thing and not a whole lot of people are actually using them. Is that a mistake? In this post, I\u2019m going to be reviewing the Taylormade M1 hybrid and sharing my honest thoughts after testing out the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long story short, these clubs weren\u2019t the best fit for me (seeing as how I\u2019m a mid handicap) and I did prefer the M2. The M1 clubs were designed for low handicap players and the M2 series was for mid to high handicaps. I\u2019m not saying they\u2019re bad clubs because they\u2019re not. It just depends on your own personal game. If you\u2019re a low handicap with a faster swing speed, these clubs could be perfect for you. If you\u2019re like me (mid to high) you\u2019d probably benefit more from the M2.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, I do think these are great clubs, but only for a certain golfer. If that\u2019s all the info you needed then great. But if you want a more in-depth review, be sure to watch the video or check out the article below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first thing I really noticed with this hybrid was the small head. Most hybrids (and the one I was used to) were noticeably bigger and felt more like a smaller fairway wood. The M1 felt more like hitting a long iron, and that wasn\u2019t the best thing for me seeing as how I try to avoid my 3\/4 iron as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This club was clearly made for a low handicap player who can hit their long irons but need something that\u2019s a bit more versatile. If that\u2019s you, this could be the perfect option. For me, I hit my fairway wood a lot better than my long irons and that\u2019s why I preferred the M2 (it\u2019s more like a smaller wood).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The M1 has 2 movable weights on it instead of the slider so you can adjust it to a fade or neutral setting (there\u2019s no draw setting). Most mid to high handicaps shouldn\u2019t even worry about this, but some better golfers like customizing their clubs as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, I knew this club probably wouldn\u2019t be the best for me, but I wanted to test it out anyway. That being said, let\u2019s talk about how it performed\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n After testing out these clubs, I actually didn\u2019t have anything bad to say about them. I could hit them pretty well, and the only reason I liked the M2 more is that they performed even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the M1 was a bit smaller, it had a smaller sweet spot and was a bit harder to hit. They also had less forgiveness so you pretty much had to hit them perfect to get the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was pretty happy with how I was hitting them, but I could definitely notice when I didn\u2019t hit them pure. My swing speed is a bit slower so I did notice more forgiveness and distance with the M2 hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the performance was better than I thought and if you\u2019re a lower handicap who can hit your long irons well and you have a faster swing speed, I think this club would be great for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a demo video:<\/p>\n\n\nTaylormade M1 First Impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
