One of the things that you will pick up on straight away is the speed bridge that has been introduced at the back of this club base. And effectively it's a strengthening bar. It's something that connects the soul of the club base into the top line. What they're calling their fastest speed pocket in terms of being able to maximise distance, strengthen that whole club base, maximise in terms of forgiveness. They've also put this high bra, as they call it, compression damper, which is something that they've really looked to work on in terms of improving the sound feel of this club. And we'll be interested to see how that works out very, very shortly. Speed pocket, this is a smaller head design, it's a more compact player's design, I suppose you'd call it. One thing to notice is on the leading edge of the club, there's a slightly chamfered cutaway almost, and it's visible as well in terms of at the impact position with your iron. So again, that will be aimed at sort of greater improved turf interaction. It's a very neat and compact looking iron, but what about performance? Because that's what we want to know. How well is the performance? A 30 degree, 7 iron to be strong without being the strongest out there, but we're expecting some decent performance. But how will speed bridge work? Will it get some performance with off centre? Because I am the man to tell you whether or not it can do that or not. First things first, let's get over to Fogolfchester before we get out there on the golf course as well and then back here for an overall summary. So, over to Fogolfchester and let's get working some golf balls. Interesting story as ever from TaylorMade and the introduction of speed bridge, how much difference will that make or we'll soon want to find out in terms of performance. The idea of this element of the video for those of you who have not watched before is I'm going to give you some immediate feedback, not backed up by a dry ball date that will come at the very end of this video. Downing at Fogolfchester, we're going to talk about first of all how this club looks at address now then. I mentioned in a previous video, in previous videos rather, how much more improved these irons are looking. This sits in the middle, this isn't a player's iron as you well know, but it sits somewhere in the middle. Maybe it's aimed at mid-handicappers, I don't know, but it's certainly getting more and more compact. That top line is very, very playable, not a great deal of offset at address. It's a neat looking compact iron. But it's thick enough on that top line not to frighten you to death either, so people like myself who like to play the thinner, more compact irons but are maybe not quite good enough, then this just gives you the sort of somewhere in between and gives you that element of confidence at address that you've got a bit of meat behind the ball. Let's see how this thing performs in the hands of the average golfer. It's a little bit heavy that one, it's gone out there, still going out there. Now this is a seven iron, what I'm going to do in here, I'll hit a few, I'll have to get a few decent golf balls because that wasn't a great start. Hit a few more balls and then I'm out there on the course and I've got a five iron and a nine iron that we'll try out there on the course. Again just that little bit heavy in terms of strike, very similar in terms of where both of those have gone out, but I've been hitting the ball very very well this morning and not just caught them a little bit too heavy. Let's see if we can get decent contact on this one. That's a golf shot, that's a golf shot. Interesting ball flight because for me this is where, I've done these videos before where loft doesn't necessarily relate to launch. And 28.5 degree on the M6 iron, seven iron that is, 30 degree on the M5. And for me I'd like to know in dry ball data how much difference there is in launch because they've got similar ball flights for me. It's a good shot as well. Right we've got two decent shots that we can give some feedback on. Big difference with the irons is two fold. I love the look of this iron, I like how compact it looks for this style of iron. But it's sound and feel, it's improved massively. It's a massive tick in the box for me because they're now taking all the boxes in terms of building the iron for the average golfer. That literally has its power pack, it launches well, it's got a big sweet spot and now they're packing in some nice feel and sound as well. What more do we want? I think we are really pushing the boundaries now in terms of what you can get into a golf club. How much further can we go? Out there on the golf course is the next part of the test with 5, 7 and 9, 9 in real conditions, hitting some greens, playing off some fairways, playing off some T's. And let's see how this thing performs in the hands of the average golfer. Right quick sit down to do a bit of a feedback straight off the course with the M5 irons. And I think I've been hitting the ball fairly well this morning as I was in the driving range yesterday. So is that good or bad way to test clubs? I'm not so sure. Big thing with the M5 is how compact it is, how playable it is. We talk about player's irons, game improvement irons, what category does this fitting because it's a sort of, for me it's almost like a player's iron with plenty of help packed into it which is the ideal scenario I think. Feel is really really good. We talked about this sort of whatever material is inside this club bed, whatever they've done has made an impact in and whether it's speed bridge in terms of taking vibration away. Not many of you will buy into that, no doubt, but whatever the sound and feel is very very good. It performed well, very well, again really impressed with these M5 irons. They took what they did last year in terms of the M3s and it's got that little bit better yet again. So right, I can't say too much because we need to do a summary. Let's get back inside where it's a little bit warmer. Right, M5 irons on the course. Dryball days was collected, you'll see that very very shortly, but overall opinion first and let's look superb. We're getting very much into position I think in the years ahead, months ahead even I don't know where. The sort of players iron for me is becoming extinct because of this type of club. There's far too much assistance if you like packed into this type of club in such a small compact design. And with the improved sound and feel, I just do think it will be a come of time when the sort of players iron if you like is going to struggle to exist. You've got that thin top line, it's got a little bit of bulk about it, but that's about all you would say a little bit of bulk when it's sat behind the ball. It's very compact indeed. And a big thing for me in this, it's not about performance in terms of, well there's one element of performance actually. It's not a distance club, it's a 30 degree 7 irons, it's obviously strongly lofted. But this is all about two things. The massive difference is sound and feel. Whatever, whether it be to do with the speed bridge, whether it be to do with the insert with inside the head, I don't know. I don't really care what I can tell you is there is a massive difference in improvement in sound and feel from last year's model, but also just into this category of iron. They've really done a good job with that. And then the second thing, which is hugely different for me, for those of you who watch the video, is I'm going to throw up some dry ball data numbers now. The only column worth looking at is the spin number. Average in 5-8 spin, a lot of those numbers in there up and above 6,000. People who watch my videos know that I really struggle to put a decent spin number on when I do iron testing. And that's a really good number for me. The consistency out the club was incredible in terms of carry distance, this idea that, and also ball speed, this idea that these kind of clubs are inconsistent in terms of dispersions front and back. I think those things are a thing of the past. And this was an absolute solid performer. Try ball data wise and out on the course. Very difficult to be critical of this one. For me, like I said, I was a big fan of last year's M3 and M4 irons to be honest with you. I thought they were really, really good. And what they've done is they've raised a bar with the both products. Can't spoiler alert on M6, but they've raised a bar. It's as simple as that. Is that bar big enough to justify it? Well, that's up to you to decide. But in terms of performance wise, this is a marked improvement. Yet again on these sets of irons performed really, really well indeed. And to see that sort of spin number on that type of club. Absolutely superb. Really like the way these things are going. Anyway, thumbs up for me on the M5 irons. I am going to continue with this mammoth few days of club testing. Unbelievable because we've got, I don't know, eight videos on tailor made and then surprisingly there's a lot more to come tomorrow as well.
