TaylorMade M2 Tour Irons Steel Shafts Many manufacturers have increased distance purely by making the iron lofts stronger or increasing the length of the shafts. Although this increases the distance, often it has made the ball flight too low so shots that landed on the greens wouldnt hold. TaylorMade have addressed this by engineering irons that fly far and high, resulting in M2 irons can deliver dramatic distance from every iron, for all golfers. M2 Tour irons fit the mold of a distance iron but in a more compact and refined package. This segment of golfers seeks distance and playability, but also has a certain size, shape and feel criteria that must be met. The design of the M2 Tour iron features many of the distance technologies from M2 irons but with reduced offset, thinner topline and new sole design for improved turf interaction. The Tour iron features a slightly smaller head with a thinner top edge and less offset compared to the standard M2 irons. Typically these appeal to players who produce a higher ball flight or simply players that prefer the look of a smaller more on set iron. Features 360° Undercut - Expands the unsupported face area for more ball speed across the face. It also removes weight from the topline to create a lower CG. This allows for stronger lofts that maximize distance without sacrificing the high peak trajectory that results in long, playable shots from each iron Speed Pocket - Increases launch angle and preserves ball speed, improving forgiveness for shots struck below the center of the face Thin Face with Inverted Cone Technology - Works in conjunction with the Speed Pocket to enable fast, consistent ball speeds across the face Sound Management System - A light and stiff cavity badge system that manages sound and eliminates unwanted vibrations for superior sound and feel Advanced Sole Design - A sole that provides the bounce and glide of a wider sole but in a narrower, more workable shape
