Same Face Tech, More Forgiveness
The M6 inherited the M5's individually-calibrated Speed Injected Twist Face, meaning every head was tested and resin-injected to hit the legal limit for ball speed. But rather than pairing it with adjustable weighting for tour players, TaylorMade used the carbon composite crown's weight savings to lower and deepen the CG for a wider, more forgiving fit.
Carbon Crown, Real Weight Savings
The carbon composite crown genuinely reduced weight compared to a titanium crown, and TaylorMade repositioned that saved mass low in the head, a straightforward, effective forgiveness strategy rather than relying on adjustable weight tracks.
