The TaylorMade M4 Driver has an official 56°–60° lie range across its loft-sleeve settings. TaylorMade lists the stock build at 45.75 in. Lie is best treated as a fine-tuning variable after face angle, face-to-path, strike and delivered loft are under control.

Dynamic hosel test for the TaylorMade M4 Driver
Start from the stock sleeve position and record strike, launch and start direction.
Use only the TaylorMade positions documented for this generation.
Keep a setting only if centre contact and start direction improve together.
Should the TaylorMade M4 Driver be more upright or flatter?
A more upright setting may help if…
- Your centred drives consistently launch or start right of your intended line.
- The toe sits noticeably down when you address the ball naturally.
- Test the supported sleeve position that gives the more upright relationship and compare start line, strike and launch.
- The change improves direction without pushing strike toward the heel.
A flatter setting may help if…
- Your centred drives consistently start left despite a controlled face angle.
- The head looks too upright when you sole it with your normal hand height.
- Test the flatter-supported sleeve position if it reduces a persistent left start without creating a heel strike.
- The flatter test improves start direction while retaining useful launch and contact.
Do not use lie angle to fix…
- A slice caused by an open face or out-to-in path.
- A hook caused by a closed face or excessive in-to-out path.
- Heel/toe strikes caused mainly by standing too close or too far from the ball.
- Launch and spin problems better solved with loft, shaft or strike location.
Golf-club specifications can differ by model year, loft, region, custom build and adjustable-hosel setting. Before buying, fitting or changing a club, compare these figures with TaylorMade’s official specifications for your exact model. If a measurement is critical, have the club checked by a qualified fitter. Verify with TaylorMade.
