While both the M1 and SuperQuad featured groundbreaking TaylorMade technology, 10 years is enough to validate the notion of “Out with the old, in with the new.”

That’s an average of 2.7 drivers and 1.4 yards per year. With allowances for the fact that different drivers occupy different spaces in the market, over the span of 27 drivers, TaylorMade has engineered an average of 14 yards of additional distance while dropping spin by 800 rpm.By our count it’s 27, and that excludes the SuperQuad, the M1 and any Tour or TP models.While we would call these numbers significant, it’s reasonable to note the number of drivers that TaylorMade has released since the r7 SuperQuad in 2007.10 years of technology improvements have increased ball speed, launch angle while decreasing spin contributing to a significant gain in distance.In all but one category, the launch monitor data suggests the M1 is far superior to the SuperQuad.Next time you see him warming up with that thing, bring the following to his attention: The data suggests that your buddy who insists on still gaming that SuperQuad (or some other antiquated driver) is hurting his golf game. It is also important to note that not a single tester produced a larger dispersion area with the SuperQuad compared to the M1.This isn’t surprising as we generally find that shorter clubs produce tighter dispersion. Pairing that with shot area as a measure of consistency, the SuperQuad on average produced a smaller dispersion.Although the SuperQuad did not perform as well as the M1, small differences in standard deviations of both ball speed and carry distance suggest that the SuperQuad is marginally more forgiving.

Balls flew higher and farther and produced more roll.

This is attributable to better launch and spin characteristics from the M1.

5 mph, Carry and Total Distance increases are substantial.The M1 produced an average a 14 more yards (total distance).

While average ball speed is up just over.

10 years of technology improvements should yield a better driver, and our data suggests that, in nearly every respect, it has. The results are what we’d expect, or at least what the consumer would hope.

Ball Data was recorded using a Foresight GC2 Launch Monitor.

All testers hit Bridgestone B330-RX Golf Balls.

Remaining outliers were identified using Median Absolute Deviation (both distance and offline), and dropped before calculation of the final averages.

Gross mishits were eliminated and are not included in the shot counts.

Each tester hit 12-14 shots for each club from every set (frequently rotating between clubs).

Seven golfers with handicaps ranging from 0-15 and driver swing speeds between 90 and 115 mph participated in this test.

Both were tested at 10.5° loft (M1 weights in neutral, SuperQuad 12 gram weights forward).

Two TaylorMade drivers were tested head to head to head ( M1 and r7 SuperQuad).

It DoM1nated our 2016 Most Wanted Driver Test.īut how does today’s icon stand-up against the last decade’s? We wanted to learn how far technology has progressed over the years, and so we put the M1 and the SuperQuad to the test. The 2016 M1arguably achieved iconic status as one of the best-performing drivers TaylorMade has ever produced. All titanium construction replaced by a muli-material amalgamation of metal and composite.Īnd holy hell, did it perform. r Yields to Mįast forward 10 years and TaylorMade has evolved driver adjustability from plugs to an advanced system containing not one, but a two track movable weights. SuperQuad was revolutionary stuff…26 grams of adjustability was a lot of weight to move back then, and still is today. With its maximum allowable 460cc head clubhead volume and four movable weights, the driver captured the attention, and to no small degree, the hearts of golfers everywhere. 3 years later TaylorMade again revolutionized the market with the introduction of the r7 SuperQuad. In 2004, with the release of the r7 Quad driver, TaylorMade brought movable weight technology to the masses. TaylorMade has long been on the forefront of driver innovation, consistently boasting and bolstering its reputation as the #1 Driver in Golf.
