Checking a used set? These are published factory specifications, not measurements of the clubs you own. Loft, lie and length may have changed through custom ordering or later work.

How to identify this generation

  • Confirm M4 branding on the head and compare the cavity with the 2018 sheet.
  • The manufacturer describes this generation's RIBCOR design; consult the linked source for head photographs.
  • Use the archive year as well as the model name. TaylorMade also lists an M4 sheet in a later archive year.

What to notice in the specifications

  • Loft and lie figures match the 2017 M2 across the listed rows. Matching angles do not establish identical ball flight or feel.
  • The 2018 M4 lob wedge is listed at 35 inches; the 2017 M2 lob wedge is listed at 35.25 inches.
  • The source makes a club-by-club left-hand distinction. Do not assume an entire range is available in both hands.

What the chart cannot tell you

A loft figure alone does not predict carry distance or determine a suitable fit. Head design, shaft, strike, swing speed and delivery also matter. Check actual loft and lie with a qualified fitter when a used set's history is uncertain.
