TaylorMade GX Reports

We instantly noticed the tighter dispersion of the M4. All mishits, but par- ticularly toe hits seemed to work toward the centerline versus over cor- recting and ending up left. If you are trying to understand exactly what Twist Face does then you must first understand how shots struck on the heel or toe typically react. The tendency of toe hits to draw after starting right and heel hits to fade after starting left is known is known as “gear effect.” Shots struck off the center of the face cause the head to change its orientation which effects spin and therefore the curvature of your shot. Club manufacturers have for decades made the face of drivers convex to help the ball start on a line more conducive to the mostly unwanted curvature that occurs when a shot is struck on the heel or toe. Twist Face is a more enhanced shape which features a more open toe and a more closed heel versus the symmetrical convex face typically found on driv- ers. TaylorMade’s robot testing has shown improved accuracy of heel and toe shots. With all that said, a simpler way to think about TaylorMade’s Twist Face is that it should produce more accurate mishits for a majority of golfers. For our tester this was definitely the case.
