Twist Face technology – Does it work?

If you haven’t already heard, the brand new M3 & M4 twist face drivers from TaylorMade have arrived!

Jonnie tested the M3 at the weekend and he thought that his miss hits on the clubface resulted in a much better shot than what he normally would have expected. This leads him to believe that the Twist Face technology makes this club far more forgiving than previous models resulting in straighter ball flights and less wayward shots.

Here’s what member David Douglas had to say about his fitting experience with Duncan:

“If I’m honest I thought all the hype about the Twist Face technology was a load of nonsense. Well, that was until I tried it for myself!

I booked in for a fitting with Duncan as I wanted compare the new M3 and M4 drivers to my current 2016 M2. I also recently played the 2017 M2 and was able to compare numbers for both.

I used my own shaft to make it a fair test and I was expecting to see the same distance and flight. Five swing in with the new M4 driver and I am not at my best, however the ball flight and the numbers on trackman did not match the poor swings.

I hit one shot right out of the heel and I expected to see ball shoot to the right low. But, no. When I looked up the ball was cruising down the fairway with a soft baby fade, 240 yard carry for a 265 finish in the fairway.

I then hit one out of the toe trying to over compensate and again… WOW! Soft little draw with no fierce snap hook as I thought I would see. 251 yard carry for a 275 total.

I turned to Duncan and said, ok… now I’m a believer!

Having tried the M3 and M4 with a couple shafts, I found that the M4 with my shaft set up from 10.5 – 11 was the perfect fit for me and having then smashed one just over 300 yards, I said that will do, let’s go see Jonnie and price this bad boy up!

So, to sum up… More distance from mishits, better dispersion, great feeling head and above all technology that actually works and is visible to the human eye!

Excellent club, excellent fitting and service from the guys as usual.

Twist Face = Happy Face!” - Dave Douglas

How’s your alignment?

Proper alignment is one those things that can have the tendency to waiver. Like anything else, proper alignment requires practice. Even lower handicap golfers struggle with their alignment like Dave below who plays of a 4 handicap.

Go to any professional tournament and you will see most of the players working with alignment sticks on the range. Consider purchasing a set of alignment sticks from the Pro Shop, they’re only £9.99!

Before

Fault - Clubface and feet are aiming right of target (indicated by the green arrow). Shoulders also appear open (aiming left).

After

Improvement - Clubface is square to the target. Both the shoulder line and feet line run parallel to the ball to target line.

Pro Tip - If you approach the ball from behind, the alignment should take care of itself.
