Design Features
The design and the performance of the M5 are striking in many aspects, with its multi-material construction, and the blend of multiple proprietary technologies characterize it as exceptionally unique. It boasts the hottest and the fastest face which has been designed to reach the threshold of the speed limit enabling golfers unmatched superiority and consistency with every swing they take. The individual handling of each of the driver and the Twist Face technology work together not only to maximize the speed but to allow forgiveness on miss-hits so that these shots reach the potential of the center-shots. The movable weights and the possibility to dial in the optimal launch conditions further enhance the feel and the performance.

Technologies
The multiple technologies and manufacturing processes utilized in this TaylorMade golf driver are more than impressive, as we see designs and innovations within that haven’t been used before. We’ll start first with the individual calibrating so that every driver reaches the threshold of the legal speed limit. Injected with tuning resin to acquire more speed, the COR gets optimized across the entire face which leads to a superior spring-like effect, and ultra-fast speed. Another specific feature is the face curvature with the corrective face angle that makes the mishits very successful and at the same time, it reduces the sidespin. The M5 features a movable weight design, and with the help of the Inverse T-Track, 10g weight can be relocated back and along the perimeter for low spin and a straighter trajectory. The possibility to position CG back and low increases the MOI. And finally, the flexible Hammerhead slot works in conjunction with the Speed Injected Twist Face so that the sweet spot gets larger and keep the speed even when the shots are obvious mishits.

Cost and Value
We’ll probably repeat ourselves regarding this criterion since we reviewing the best TaylorMade drivers, which means the best ten of the best company within the last five years. Every time TaylorMade has had a new release, it has been a significant and remarkable breakthrough such as this one is often among the best, so they do usually come with a high price tag.

Design Features
The curved face is the hallmark of this driver and it is what made it the best TaylorMade driver ever, but we are going to describe it in details in the ‘Technology’ section. When it comes to its design, the 5-layered carbon black crown with the silver lining and the blackface looks impressive, and it is much lighter and thinner than it used to be with the previous models. The standard shaft model it comes with is the Mitsubishi Tensei graphite shaft which is a premium shaft model. Since this is one of the most adjustable drivers, the hosel allows golfers to change the lofts by +/- 2 degrees, and this also enables them to change the shaft too.

Technology
The M3 integrates three new technologies that haven’t been used in a driver so far and which create a personalized approach to the game and way straighter distance. Back to Twist Face technology, it is a curvature on the face that delivers opposite spin and alters the lofts when golfers hit off-center so that the ball flies straighter and this feature is known as gear effect. Next is the Hammerhead Slot which represents a redesigned sole slot that creates faster face flex that expands the sweet spot and delivers more distance. The Y-track adjustable weight slot represents an original way to customize the launch angle and create a low, high and medium trajectory.

Cost and Value
If you are a golfer who seeks more control and adjustability to shape your shots off the tee with an increased level of forgiveness and your handicap is between mid to low, this ultimately the best TaylorMade driver according to many tour players and experts. When it comes to its price, at the moment it is being sold for a price which is 50% less than the M5 driver.

Design Features
The 460cc titanium head is enriched with 54% more carbon fiber on the crown and the sole which means 46g of weight has been relocated low and deep which makes the clubhead more aerodynamic with the faster core. This redesign is called Inertia Generator by TaylorMade referring to the incredible speed that golfers achieve while playing with TaylorMade. The so-called Hammerhead sole slot features added flexibility which transfers much more energy to the ball and creates faster ball speeds. The Satin Black finish looks impressive and the crown details help golfers with the alignment. The premium Matrix White Tie 55 stock graphite shaft increases the driver’s playability by enhancing the smooth feel and the distance.

Technologies
Almost all technologies that are characteristic for M5 can be found in this TaylorMade driver as well. Starting with the booming Speed Injected Twist-Face Technology, the face this driver offers much more precision and speed, while the injected resin is used to control the speed not to go over the limit. This is important because the face is initially designed with COR above the legal limit and then the two tuning slots were added for injecting the resin to ensure that the speed limit is never crossed. It is a very advanced process, carried out by the proprietary algorithms that determine the needed amount of resin. The Twisted Face Technology that we described in detail with the M5 model, provides extra loft high in the toe, and less loft low in the heel to ensure spin consistency, even with mis-hits.

Cost and Value
Many golfers and golf experts consider the M6 one of the true speed-enhancing drivers which deliver not only more speed but abundant forgiveness too. If you are a golfer who is looking for more speed and extra yardages, this is one of the best drivers on the market. Of course, the price is considerably high, but with the performance it delivers, you’ll be pleased for many years to come, and the results often prove to be more than satisfactory.

Design Features
The cast molten titanium head and the composite, 5-layered carbon crown with the thinner and lighter face, make M4 aerodynamic with the strongest, thinnest and lightest panels ever made. The M4 integrates the Twist Face and the Hammerhead slot that contribute to its peculiar looks, but instead of the movable Y-track, it borrows the design of the M2 and positions 22g of grams weight on the back weight pad so that it delivers optimal forgiveness. Thanks to the Geocustinc design seen in M2, the recessed sole creates a bigger footprint by freeing up the volume which produces nicer, higher-pitched sound and improved feel.

Technology
The two characteristic technologies of the M3, the Twist Face and the Hammerhead slot are also integrated within the design of this driver. As we have already described them in the review of the M3, the new sole slot increases the flexibility of the face which creates the more flexible face and a larger sweet spot, while the center part of the slot maximizes the speed when hitting low on the face and reduces the unwanted spin which adds more distance. There are four adjustable lofts, and the standard shaft is Fujikura Atmos Red in four available flexes.

Cost and Value
This is a tech-pack driver that boasts serious playability and forgiveness. However, the fact that the world champion Dustin Johnson won his tournament with an M4 driver in his bag, gave this club a tour validation. Bearing in mind that the M6 is a recent, upgraded model, it led to a price decrease of the M4, so golfers who had their eye on the M4 but couldn’t afford it, it is their chance to finally own one of the best drivers ever.

Design Features
This is the driver that when it was released, it was seen as the little brother of M1, and even though less adjustable than M1, it made a difference when it comes to distance and forgiveness. The oversized 460cc clubhead and the multi-material construction represent the base for the forgiveness it delivers. The 6-layered carbon crown within the 911 titanium body frees 25g weight and relocates the CG deeper and lower than in the original M2 of the previous year. It also features a lightweight aluminum loft sleeve that allows golfers to make loft adjustability by +/- 2 degrees so that they can customize the preferred ball trajectory.

Technology
Technology is something that isn’t missing in this driver. The greatest innovation in this respect is Geocoustic Technology which is innovative acoustic engineering which increases the MOI, creates a better sound at impact and delivers more feel. The advanced sole shaping and the recessed toe panel brings an expansion of the clubface and significantly impacts the sound by externalizing the sound ribs. The popular Speed Pocket is also redesigned and in this updated version it is three times more flexible compared to the original model. This flexibility creates faster ball speed and consequently, this means more distance.

Cost and Value
Even though there are four additionally upgraded models within the M series, the M2 is still considered one of the best performing driver for mid handicappers. The forgiveness the overall playability it delivers, make it an attractive offer for many players. Consequently, the price it has is on the higher end, even though it is priced considerably less than the latest M5 and M6 drivers.

Design Features
What makes this driver unique is the fact that it has been designed from scratch with women golfers in mind. Unlike other women’s versions which are mostly men’s reweighted designs, this one has obvious gentler and much softer construction. The silver crown is ornamented with a very soft coloring which is peculiar for female’s taste and the overall weight, loft, and length have been optimized for women’s needs. The aerodynamic clubhead shape can easily cut through the air while the ultralight shaft transfers more energy to the clubhead adding more power for more speed and distance.

Technology
When it comes to the technology that is integrated into Kalea, the Speed Pocket design is an obvious feature that is characteristic for many TaylorMade models. It is a formula for success and it is an integral part of every new release. The Speed Pocket makes the face flex at impact more by enlarging the sweet spot to produce higher launch, less spin, and more carry resulting in more distance. The low and deep center of gravity helps golfers have the ball airborne higher and longer.

Cost and Value
Kalea is women’s complete lineup and it is the most unique women’s collection that you can currently find on the market. It features maximized performance particularly designed to meet women’s needs. Compared to most of the drivers on the list, this one is one of the most inexpensive drivers which means excellent value for the money.

Design Features
The 460cc clubhead is comprised of several materials that reshape the way it performs. This upgraded version has 43% more carbon fiber on the crown which considerably saves weight which is loaded on the sole with the movable weight concept. The ultra-thin wall Ti casting enhances the feel and the sound, while the titanium face delivers much more speed. The loft sleeve is made from aluminum, and it allows shaft and loft customization. The black and white theme looks impressive, while the multiple premium stock shaft choices make it extremely playable.

Technology
None of the bombastic technologies seen in the rest of M models are part of M1, but yet, it is still perfectly competitive without them all. The multiple materials which allow weight redistribution and the extreme adjustability represent the technological advancement of this driver, which is impressive and highly sophisticated. There are two weight tracks, the Front Track features 15-gram weight which delivers multiple fades, draw and neutral settings, while the BackTrack features 10 grams weight, and serves to adjust numerous low, high and medium spin and launch settings. The M1 is engineered with internal acoustic panels that control vibrations and produce hot, solid and crisp sound.

Cost and Value
Despite being outdated compared to its descendants, M1 is still a solid TaylorMade driver that boasts not only extremely sophisticated design and subtle feel and sound, but it is also the tour-performing driver that offers maximum forgiveness too. These features hold the merit of still having the high price point, which according to professionals is worth the money.

Design Features
TaylorMade RBZ features 460cc titanium forged head that unlike the M4 isn’t backed up by carbon fiber for vibration damping, and extra more feel. However, designed like this it allows more forgiveness, and the enlarged face is a guarantee that all those mis-hits won’t be ‘punished’. Even though this driver lacks most of the high-tech seen in M4, the proprietary Speed Pocket which positioned behind the face is there, helping golfers achieve higher launch and decrease spin. Even though the movable weight is not an option in RBZ, there’s extra titanium mass strategically added to the core, adding forgiveness, trajectory control, and straighter shots. The RBZ does feature aggressive styling which is so evident at the address, and with Matrix White Tie 55 shaft and the Satin Black finish it looks powerful on the course.

Technology
Last year’s flagships were the M3 and M4 TaylorMade drivers, and you could see many of the tour players winning tournaments with them. However, a flagship means advanced, tech-pack club that costs higher than any other club. And, the company figured that they needed to appeal to budget golfers so they revamped the RBZ double less the money, but with double less the technology too. So, besides the Speed Pocket and the titanium weight positioned low and back, you won’t find much of the superior TM technology. However, unless you play like Rory, you probably don’t need it anyway. This driver delivers superior performance, and high and mid handicappers can expect extra speed and distance. The adjustable loft sleeve does come handy, and it allows customization of the trajectory and the launch to meet players' preferences. There are three loft settings of 9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees that golfers can choose from.

Cost and Value
When you are considering investing a good value for the money driver but your budget is fairly limited, and at the same time the only option is a name-brand, this is the driver to go-to. It is very forgiving, playable, distance-enhancing, and it looks powerful at the address. You won’t find many TaylorMade drivers with such a low price that deliver optimal performance.

Design Features
With the charcoal-grey crown, and the blue weight slide, equipped with Fujikura Speeder 57, it is a driver that is much more pleasing to the eye and ear compared to many similar drivers that belong within the same category. The lightweight shaft promotes higher launches which consequently leads to more distance. Shortly said, the way SLDR is made, promotes more distance, straighter trajectory, and low spin. Each piece of its design has a purpose that delivers game-enhancing properties that add to the playability. From the alignment on the crown that helps golfers to easily align the weight, to the sliding weight, fixed loft, and the bent hosel design, everything works in unity to deliver the most playable driver for high handicappers.

Technology
What TaylorMade engineers did with this driver was to remove weight from the crown, and position it on a movable slide track. The oversized 460cc titanium head locates the CG much closer to the face which creates a great energy transfer and more speed and distance to the ball. The weigh adjustability lets golfers to dial in the shape of the shafts, while the more customized setting can increase the distance to up to 30 yards. This design in conjunction with the lightweight, premium shaft is the formula for the extra playable driver.

Cost and Value
The SLDR is a high handicappers driver that was released a few years ago, and even though the number and the complexity of the utilized technologies can’t be even closely compared to the M5 and the M6 drivers, it delivers maximum performance for extra speed. If you are a golfer who is looking for decent, name-brand performance the simplicity of this model is all you need to excel in your game. Plus, the price of this model is twice as low as the latest company’s models which makes it a good value for the money.

Design Features
It is one of the most appealing TaylorMade drivers with its white crown and the red paint looks simply irresistible. The longer, deeper, and sleeker clubhead design it integrates the Speed Pocket which until then was twice the size of their previous models. In addition to the white crown, they used the Matrix Speed RUL-Z shaft which keeps the white theme and makes the overall weight very light as it is only 50g. The aerodynamic design is enhanced with the textured crown which has a smoothly raised center section so that it helps the head glides through the air easily.

Technology
When it comes to the technology integrated within the design of AeroBurner, we can’t say it is extraordinary, however, the design itself represents a technological advancement on its own. The rounded toe, the reduced drop that comes from the crown to skirt, the raised center crown, and the newly designed hosel fin, reduce the drag and make the swing speed much faster. The enlarged Speed Pocket makes the sweet spot larger, making it more forgiving and it also reduces the spin even on off-center shots. The fact that it comes in higher lofts, makes this driver an excellent choice for high and mid handicappers.

Cost and Value
If you want a driver that will turn heads on the course, AeroBurner boasts aesthetic perfection with the white theme it features. It has been among the most successful models and the fact that it is still popular proves that it is a high-quality club, even though ranked a bit lower compared to the M lineup. The affordable price it is being sold at makes the driver an attractive option for many golfers with a tight budget.
