TaylorMade M6 Irons Detailed Review
Design and Technology
TaylorMade has always been at the forefront of technology in all their clubs. The M6 irons are no different.
To start, Thru-Slot technology allows the club’s face to be connected to the body via the top line. This is made possible by the Speed Bridge. It takes weight out of the face and allows it to flex more when it makes contact with the ball at impact.
A proprietary BYBRAR dampening bar reduces both vibration and sound when the ball comes off the face. Those mishits that used to shoot up your arms on cold mornings won’t any more thanks to this technology.
Inverted Cone Technology allows the sweet spot to be expanded further across the face, especially toward the toe. As a result, solid shots feel great, but mishits aren’t as exaggerated as they would be with a normal size sweet spot.
Lastly, the fluted hosel and 360-degree undercut cavity lower the CG. This optimizes conditions for high launches with all clubs.

Our Experience
I can never wait to get my hands on anything TaylorMade comes out with. It was no different with the M6 irons.
From the moment I made my first swings, I could tell these were some of the longest, most forgiving irons I’d ever hit.
Even though the heads were quite a bit bigger than what I was used to, they didn’t look off-putting behind the ball. In fact, they inspired confidence.
I was a full club longer throughout the bag with the M6 irons too. Clearly the technology TaylorMade so aggressively touted was up to snuff.
The only drawback with these irons was their seeming lack of workability. I found it tough to control trajectory and shape shots.
Other than that, these irons were a game changer.
Conclusion
Just because the TaylorMade M6 irons are a few years old doesn’t mean their popularity has waned. Quite the opposite in fact, and it’s not hard to see why. They remain some of the longest, most forgiving irons around.
If you’re looking for more length and forgiveness with your irons, give the M6 irons a shot. Even more, if you decide to purchase a set of your own, they won’t break the bank.
