How to identify this generation

  • Check the back cavity for the M2 name and V-shaped badge shown in the original product sheet.
  • Do not identify the generation from the M2 name alone. Compare the head with the manufacturer sheet, particularly the badge and face.
  • The M2 name also appears on these TaylorMade irons; compare their markings before using this chart: M2 (2017).

What to notice in the specifications

  • The 2016 sand wedge is 55° and the lob wedge is 60°. The 2017 sheet specifies 54° and 59° respectively.
  • The manufacturer's 2016 length figures use three decimal places in the long irons. They are preserved here rather than rounded to match later sheets.
  • Listed wedge rows describe the manufacturer's range, not a guarantee that every used set includes those wedges.
Checking a club you own? These are the maker's published figures for an original build, not measurements of your club, and a source date is not the year it was made. Bending, reshafting or a hosel adjustment changes loft, lie and length, so identify the head by its own markings and have a fitter measure it when its history is unclear.
