    Description

    The TaylorMade M4 D-Type driver combines Twist Face technology with a new Hammerhead Slot and Geocoustic sole design for straight distance and a large sweet spot. Twist Face is engineered to reduce side spin and deliver straighter shots as well as provide more loft in the high-toe and less loft in the low-heel to produce more consistent spin where golfers commonly miss-hit. The Hammerhead Slot provides a larger sweet spot and increased ball speed low on the face and drops unwanted spin for more distance. Geocoustic technology reduces sole volume and enables a larger, more forgiving face while the Draw-Biased Design makes the face angle appear more open for a more closed face at impact.

    Features

    • Twist Face Technology: The clubface is twisted open on the high-toe and closed on the low-heel to produce straighter shots on those mishits
    • Hammerhead Slot: Makes the sweet spot bigger by increasing ball speed and forgiveness across the entire club face
    • Geocoustic Technology: reduces sole volume for a bigger sweet spot and improves sound and feel at impact
    • M4 D-Type places 41 grams of weight towards the heel to boost draw spin

    Technology / Specs

    Here are the 3 main features of the TaylorMade M4 D-Type driver.


    Twist Face



    Twist Face is a revolutionary technology aimed at accuracy. After analyzing 500,000+ shots, TaylorMade engineers found the most common misses when hittinga driver were high-toe and low-heel. To fix this, the engineers literally twisted the club face.

    The high-toe section is opened 0.5 degrees and adds 1 degree of loft to help correct a low, duck-hook shot that results from impact in that area. Conversely, the low-heel sectionn is closed 0.5 degrees and delofted 1 degree to correct that mishit.


    Hammerhead Technology



    Hammerhead technology creates more ball speed and a larger sweet spot. The wide channel on the sole flexes at impact, producing more ball speed across a larger portion of the club face.

    The 2 (nearly) perpendicualr bars inside the channel create stability, allowing designers to make the club face thinner overall. This thin club face also helps produce more ball speed across the clubface.

    Together, these features of Hammerhead technology make the sweet spot bigger!


    Geocoustic Technology



    Geocoustic technology is also on the sole of the club. It helps give the M4 a solid sound and feel as well as more forgiveness.

    Differing from previous versions, this Geocoustic area has more material taken out. The weight saved is repositioned around the rest of the clubhead for more forgiveness. According to TaylorMade, the sweet spot is 67% larger thanks to the new design.


    The difference in the M4 D-Type driver and the standard M4 driver is the weight on the sole. A 41-gram weight is placed toward the heel of the M4 D-Type driver. The helps add more draw-spin to help correct the miss to the right (for a right-handed golfer).
