On a pure strike, you feel a connection from your hands all the way to the ball. These red screws identify the locations where TaylorMade inserts the “tuning resin” to bring the face down to the USGA limits for COR. My favorite aesthetic piece of the M5 driver is the pair of Speed Injection ports on the face. What has remained constant is the matte black carbon fiber that covers most of the crown. Another change is that the ribbon along the back of the crown is now an eye-catching red instead of a subtle blue. Like the M3 driver, the M5 has a band of silver across the front of the crown, but the band is much thinner on the M5. The M5 driver is at once unmistakably TaylorMade and a visual change of pace. Can the new Speed Injected Twist Face make that a reality? We tested it to find out. Regardless of how you feel about Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire, we’d all like to hit drives like they hit home runs. The picture of a needle being inserted into the face of the M5 driver called to mind baseball’s Steroid Era and balls being launched prodigious distances at historic rates. Well before I got my hands on any of the 2019 drivers, I knew that TaylorMade had won the battle for most powerful image. The TaylorMade M5 driver has unlimited potential thanks to its adjustability.
