How to identify this generation
- The 2017 product sheet introduces Face Slots near the heel and toe of the face.
- Compare the cavity's fin badge and six-sided fluted hosel with the 2017 manufacturer's sheet.
- The M2 name is reused. A listing that says only 'M2' does not identify the generation.
- The M2 name also appears on these TaylorMade irons; compare their markings before using this chart: M2 (2016).
What to notice in the specifications
- The 4-iron lie is 61.5° and the 5-iron lie is 62°. The 2016 sheet lists 61° and 61.75° respectively.
- The 7-iron loft remains 28.5°, while the sand and lob wedges differ from the 2016 version.
- The 4-iron and 6-iron length figures are published as 38.88 and 37.63 inches. Their source precision is retained.
- TaylorMade’s 2019 archive column links a USA-only M2 iron sheet marked 2019 with exactly the same lofts, lies and men’s lengths from 4-iron to PW and no wedges beyond the PW.
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.
