Sneak peek 2017 TM M2 Driver
Not sure why, but I've never had much success with TM drivers. Tried one at the range back about 4 years ago, felt too light and I couldn't get but every 5th or 6th ball airborne. Probably more mental than anything else, I know a couple guys (longer hitters at my club) who game the M1 and they love it.
I have always had the best luck with TM drivers. Also the SMT DB 455.
I like that they tweaked an existing driver for a change.
I've had great luck with their irons, to be sure. My backup set is the TM RS1 model, which are mighty handsome. I've always had either PING or TM irons, and for whatever reason I've just been a PING loyalists over the years.
The last TM driver I played was the old burner model back about 20 years ago, with the burner-bubble shaft. The head was copper-colored, and the shaft was black with copper trim. I loved that thing, but then again that was back when I could load an extra stiff shaft and actually compress a ball.

I still like the 2007 line of Burners the best. That head had the best visual profile for me. Very similar to the Adams Blue that I am playing now.
Looks good, I'd give it a shake if I can be adjusted down in loft better this time around. I hit a "tour only" M2, which actually allowed you to take it down to 8*, that was one helluva nice club, but way too much coin for this guy. The numbers were really good with it though.
I would not know !
Since I had not played one. The 2017 model look like it has a more rounded foot print.
Does look like nice.... but I doubt much better if any than this years.
I have been waiting for a good Geocoustic driver.

It further showed they are running out of ideas within the current available resources that's feasible on both end of the product ( manufacturing and pricing ).
Even if there is no conforming restrictions, there is not a whole lot of options to push the limit of the envelop as product goes. Material for the driver head and the shafts and a huge plus to conditioning the golfer's physical ability.
If a weekend warrior wish to play like a touring pro, not only they have to have the mind set also need to copy the work out ethic like the pros. Equipment alone will assist in the dream of playing better.

U da man.
I was on my way to get below a 5 before I got married then a family, then all of a sudden getting to a scratch index was not all that important. But I was never able to reach any hole in 2 longer than 550 yards, par4, par5 or par 6 ( yes played a couple of those par 6's). Give me back 30 years and today's driver and golf balls...... I could try, yet still probably could not reach a hole close to 600 yards even with help from elevation drop.
2016 Taylor Made M2 10.5* w/2 shafts in route.
