TaylorMade M4 irons (2018)
The 2018 M4 generation. Its familiar 28.5° 7-iron loft does not make it the same head as an M2.

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.
