    Anybody using either of these
    2017 models

    Thinking of getting a 19 deg of the m2 to alternate in and out of bag with 3w & 4i depending on conditions

    Have an old Taylormade rescue 22 deg that I love and can use for a few different shots and distances between 170-195

    It would be for about 6 shots a round max I'd say
    3-4 tee shots
    Going for 2 par 5's

    Play off 7

    Seeing as you have no answers yet...... I havent played either of those clubs, but i have hit a lot of hybrids in last few years and none perform any better than my G25's. You can pick one up for about 70 quid on adverts id say.

    Other than that visit golfwrx for info on M1

    I have the M1 driver and am very happy with it. I took out a demo rescue (think it was the M2) for 9 holes and for the life of me I couldn't hit it...

    beginning of the season I traded in my SLDR driver 3 wood and 19degree rescue for M2s. Got the driver and 5wood a week before the rescue arrived and practiced with them. Walked onto the course on the saturday morning taking the plastic off the rescue Id just picked up from the pro shop and hit it straight away on the 13th at woodbrook 190yrds to 6feet from the pin, dead straight. Was playing off 21 now Im 19. Its my go to club on the fairway and out of the rough, not to mention putting from the greenside rough.

    They say the M2 hybrid has a little draw bias if that makes a difference to you.

    Go and get fitted trying a lot of different rescues.
    I went for a driver fitting four weeks ago, fully intent on buying m1 or m2, mostly based on looks and word of mouth.
    Well out of around 15 drivers these were the first two we eliminated. In the end I got the new ping g. Works great for me, but I never would have bought it off the shelf.

    I don't know what genius of a pro fitted a 21 handicapper with an sldr driver. Literally the most unforgiving driver ever manufactured. I'd expect you to lose a few more shots after getting rid of those clubs.
