Are you the one who plays golf for self-satisfaction? If you are nodding, then TaylorMade Irons are made just for you. You just cannot go wrong with this set. It offers decent forgiveness, consistent heights, accuracy, room for spinning, and better ball speed.

The legacy of TaylorMade is the foremost reason why the Irons of TaylorMade are a preferable choice over others. Before we being our M2 2016 vs 2017 review, here’s a short history of the brand TaylorMade.

History

The Taylormade, as we know, is one of the best golf brands. The secret of being best in the market lies in is history. It was Gary Adams, and his three employees, who changed the history of the golf by introducing the iron drivers in 1979.

Their mission was “To create the best-performing golf equipment in the game.” Introducing the Iron drivers was the first baby step of Taylormade company in becoming great. The Iron drivers became an immediate hit among the tour professionals and amateurs alike.

They started preferring TaylorMade Irons over others. In 2004, TaylorMade introduced Movable Weight Technology (MWT) through which the golfers could change the location of the center of gravity of drivers to help manage ball flight. Within the first year of the introduction of MWT technology, it became golfers’ favorite. It helped win 28 worldwide tours, which also includes four championships.

It helped TaylorMade achieve new heights in terms of business. TaylorMade became the first choice of golf club members and other golf players alike. The latest of the irons from TaylorMade are famously known as M series irons with variants M2, M2, and M4.

The first of the M series Irons is M1 irons. The M Irons came out and evolved from its ancestor irons. They started as Technician (1984) and evolved as ICW11 (1991), ICW Mid Tour (1992), Burner Midsize (1993), Burner Bubble Oversized (1996), Ti Bubble 2 (1997), FireSole (1999), RAC OS (2002), R7 (2006), R7 CGB Max (2007), Burner XD (2008), Tour Burner (2008), Burner (2009), R9 TP (2009), Burner 2.0 (2009), R11 (2011), RocketBladez (2013), SLDR (2014), RSi1 (2015), RSi2( 2015) to M series (M1, M2 (2016), M2 (2017), M3 and M4).

The M Series Irons

The TaylorMade M series irons are for golf players who aspire to be one of the bests in the future. These irons are the perfect choice for such golf players. TaylorMade company offers three variants of M series irons; M2, M3, and M4. The M2 has two variants; M2 (2016) and M2 (2017).

Prestige and quality of the Taylormade irons are just two of the distinctions. Your heart resonates with the feel of the distinct sound it produces when the ball is hit.

The M series (M2, M3 & M4) irons bring with them the consistency, accuracy, and forgiveness that the golfers yearn for. The tech gurus of TaylorMade have leveraged the organizational knowledge, customer feedback, and managerial input have produced M2 irons, which delivers greater distance with greater accuracy and heights to win the excellent golf game. The M2 series variants, M2 (2016) and M2 (2017), are different from each other. Their differences are discussed below.

TaylorMade M2 Irons: Difference between M2 (2016) and M2 (2017)

The difference between the 2016 M2 Iron and 2017 M2 Irons is more than differential, which makes 2017 M2 Irons a better choice than its immediate predecessor 2016 M2 Irons. However, one must keep in mind that the difference between the two is not as much as it was between the 2016 M2 Irons and M1 Irons. Though similar in spin and distance, the 2016 M2 Irons has higher forgiveness and better feel.

The M2 Irons TaylorMade has designed, are a lot better in performance than M1 irons. The M1 Irons are offered less forgiveness than the M2 Irons. M1 Irons offer has a compact structure and offers thin top lines and soles than M2 Irons.

It is worth mentioning here that M2 Irons are a better choice than the M1 irons. However, the M2 Iron variants 2016 M2 Irons and 2017 M2 Irons are different from each other on different fronts. In the following section, the two variants of M2 irons that are M2 (2016) and M2 (2017) are compared to each.

Look and Feel of M2 Irons 2016 vs 2017

The Looks of M2 Irons (2017) has better looks and feel than the M2 Iron (2016). The M2 Irons (2017) is sleeker than 2016 irons. The change of color from yellow to light green moves with the golf course and have a soothing effect.

The finish has also been improved. The 2017 iron comes with a chrome finish, and it is likely to last long compared to the raw black finish of its earlier 2016 version. However, both the variants are made up of cast irons instead of forged or other forms of steal. The feel of the two variants of M2 Irons is comparable.

Both the irons have a lightweight shaft coupled with a medium-sized head. The feel has been made better without compromising the face slot. However, the 2016 M2 Iron does not offer the face slot. It is mainly because adding a face slot gives a more massive head, which eventually increases the center of gravity.

But, since, the 2017 M2 Irons are better with the face slots as they appeared in RSi Irons. It helps in having the forgiveness which has been well achieved in 2017 M2 Irons than in 2016 M2 Irons.

Performance of M2 Irons 2016 vs 2017

The performance parameter of M2 Irons is in favor of 2017 Irons. The 2017 Irons offer better distance and better forgiveness. The forgiveness offered by 2017 Irons is better than any of its predecessors, including M1 irons. The 2017 M2 Irons TaylorMade has designed better performance than the 2016 M2 Irons.

The TaylorMade has achieved the lightweight in 2017 M2 Irons without compromising the stability, and yet the 2017 M2 Irons are offering higher forgiveness, speed saving, and distance. Therefore, it has a better performance than the 2016 M2 Irons. Between the two irons M2 2016 vs 2017, the latter has a better sound and forgiveness than the former. This gives better accuracy to Iron M2 (2017).

The technological gap between the two Irons is furthered, as Iron M2 (2017) is geocoustically advanced. Another important aspect of performance is a face slot. The face slot provides additional forgiveness. At which the 2017 Irons are better.

Sound and Adjustability of M2 Irons 2016 vs 2017

The TaylorMade M2 Irons have been thoroughly worked at to maintain the TaylorMade signature sound. The 2017 M2 Irons are better in having the signature TaylorMade sound than the 2016 M2 Irons.

As far as the adjustability of the Irons is concerned, the 2016 and 2017 M2 irons do not offer adjust-ability. Therefore, the M2 Iron variants do not compete on the feature.

Pricing of M2 Irons 2016 vs. 2017

The two variants of Irons, the 2017 M2 Iron and 2016 M2 variant, differ on pricing. The price factors vary and depend on the retailer store. However, the price of M2 Iron 2016 is lesser than M2 Iron 2017 on the factor of USD 100.

Therefore, the 2017 M2 Iron is a little higher and gets a dent on score against 2016 M2 Irons. In case you are deciding to buy new irons, you should try both of them. Visit your favorite golf club and get feedback from club members.

In this edition of Members Choice, we attempt to answer the question, “What’s the best fairway wood of 2017?”

Admittedly, it’s a bit of a loaded question since golfers use fairway woods for different reasons and in different situations on the course. Some use a fairway wood strictly as an alternative to their driver off the tee; other golfers use them almost entirely as approach clubs from the turf on long par fours and par fives; the rest use fairway woods for some combination of both situations. So are we looking for the longest and straightest fairway wood, or simply the most accurate and forgiving?

The best way to determine the best fairway wood, therefore, is to pose that question to golfers who have hit them all and let them decide. Thus, we have Members Choice: The Best Fairway Woods of 2017, where GolfWRX Members describe their experiences with the latest fairway woods. With in-depth descriptions from their testing, GolfWRX Members illuminate the pros and cons of each fairway wood, providing the real information you need when making your purchasing decisions.

• Members Choice: The Best Irons of 2017

Our advice when reading through this story is to think about what you want from your fairway wood. Do you want max distance, max forgiveness, or a combination of both? The feedback from GolfWRX Members on each fairway wood will lead to toward a few models that match your needs and desires. Then test them out for yourself. Everyone interprets the performance of golf clubs differently, so personal testing and professional fittings are imperative, especially in this particular category. View the full results from the poll testing here.

Note: Responses from GolfWRX Members have been minimally edited for brevity and clarity.

Callaway Steelhead XR (4.08 percent)

• SwingMan: I recognize that the Steelhead XR is late to the game, having just entered the market, but for a club that does everything well for GI and Players (the + models), they are long rocket launchers. Light, hot feel with pleasing metallic crack, deep face for ease off the tee, low CG (center of gravity) for ease off the deck, rounded sole gives you versatility from rough and bunkers. Forgiving and long. J36 carbon weave crown moves weight low. Because of the deep face with lot of bulge you need to lay it on the ground and it sits square. Take care when you pick it up so as not to close it. I hit it long off the tee with an R-Flex, obtaining 260-270 yards under favorable conditions — this club produces an urgent, direct trajectory with loads of roll in the lower lofts. Off the deck, 220+ with light wind; against a strong wind, 200. This club is surprising. Even the 7 wood off the deck with a higher trajectory gives you great yardage. Only caveat is that if you are in low speed range and insist on a 3 wood, you may want to order a high launch shaft instead of the mid-launch Tensei. But that’s the same advice with all 3 woods — you must be able to launch them. Callaway has several no cost shaft options. Otherwise, go with the 5 and 7 woods, which are loooong and versatile. The + models, for players and pros, are more weight forward and fade bias and arrive with a 65 Tensei CK Blue fairway shaft — smoother than the CK Blue driver shaft.
• DWtalk: I just finished testing the 15-degree Callaway Steelhead with the Tensi Blue shaft, and it’s a great club. It’s long and my misses are either a little right or left, but very solid. I also have a 15-degree M2 that is very good also with the stock shaft but I’m going to reshaft it with the Tensi blue. You couldn’t go wrong with either club.

Titleist 917F3 (5.28 percent)

• Peanut191: I thought the Titleist F3 was the best combination of looks and feel, but they didn’t offer a 16.5 version, so I ordered the M2 Tour HL. I thought the M2/M2 Tour were the best distance wise, with the Callaway Epic, then the Titleist 917F3 just behind.
• II PigBimpin II: I used to be a Taylormade loyalist when it came to woods, but I recently switched to a Titleist 917F3 15-degree and it has single handedly put me in prime position to make three eagles within two weeks. Very predictable ball flight and distance, easy to hit off the deck.
• DuckHook02: I did try the Titleist 917F2, and if I was using it off the deck more, I’d probably gravitate towards the F2 and it’s shallow profile. However, I like the more compact look of the F3 and the lower ball flight it produces.

Cobra King F7 (6.40 percent)

• Steveko89: I didn’t do nearly as much testing for my 3 wood after going up and down the racks picking out my Cobra F7+ w/ Hzrdus Yellow shaft. After settling on the driver, I said, “That 3 wood that matches looks pretty slick, let me hit a few with it.” and immediately fell in love. Has a nice traditional note at impact and the ball just flies off the face, especially with the weight forward. Probably could’ve tried a few different shafts, but the stock-stiff shaft works well enough and was able to find one used-mint on the bay for $150. Unfortunately, this was before the Cobra BOGO promo. Most of the positive shots that stick in my head from this season have come with the 3 wood, won’t be seeking out a replacement for a while.
• carcharodan1977: Cobra F7 fairway, currently playing at 4 wood loft… it’s fantastic. Easy to swing, impact sounds great and it’s a rocket from the fairway and even bad lies. The baffler rails really work well. Such a forgiving club.
• herbst20: Have played the Titleist 910 fairway woods since they came out. The Cobra F7 finally kicked them out of the bag. I have had an easier to hit whether it be off the team, fairway, or especially out of the rough. I love the baffler technology. I play it at 13 degrees because I am sporadic with my driver.

Callaway GBB Sub Zero (7.39 percent)

• Warrick: The (Sub Zero) 3+ was the first Epic in my bag, and it is never leaving. I have never hit a long club so consistently.
• Dobbs983: This is a fantastic year for fairway woods. I game the Epic Sub Zero 15-degree, set to 14 degrees. Easy distance, mid launch and penetrating flight. Easy to hit off the deck and a tee. I can move it left and right, if I need to, but why bother when straight and long is so easy. The Titleist 917’s are both very close to the Epic SZ, but not quite as forgiving. They are the best looking of the bunch. The Exotics EX10 Beta is amazingly long and straight and the sole is fantastic out of the rough.
• belacyrf: I currently game the TaylorMade SLDR fairway woods as I’ve never seen enough improvement from any new woods to make a change. However, IF I were to make a change, I would definitely move to the Callaway Epic Sub Zero. They are so forgiving and their flight is exactly what I like, plus they are long.
• PreppySlapCut: I was very pleased when messing around with the Epic Sub Zero this week. I was able to launch the 13.5 degrees off the deck, which has literally NEVER been a strength for me. Very impressive stuff from Callaway. The Ping G400 also just seems like the next wonderful iteration from Ping.
• kejoal11: I put the Epic Sub Zero 3+ in my bag and love it. Long off the tee, long from fairways. I love the ball flight and the fact that it doesn’t balloon on me. Very consistent with the club and by far my best purchase of 2017.
• golftech: If you like smaller, traditional shaped fairway woods, then Callaway’s Epic Sub Zero 15-degree is the best I’ve played. For that matter, it’s the best 3 wood I’ve had since my Toney Penna persimmon in the early 80s. It’s versatile off the tee and the fairway. I’ve been hitting career shots all season including the 18th at the famous Monterey, CA course.
• ago33: I’d choose the Epic Sub Zero over the M2 Tour. Adjustable hosel is better, looks better behind the ball and more forgiving.

Ping G400 (7.67 percent)

• Mwiseley10: Love my Titleist 917, I hit it so well off the deck I use it without a tee! The Cobra Baffler felt great and has good sound but didn’t purchase. Hit the Ping G400 this morning, it hits great but d*** that profile is low!
• DNice26: I tried the Ping G400 against my Ping G, both using my own shaft… little to no difference. The G400 looks and sounds better, but any performance benefit seemed negligible from the Trackman numbers I saw. My swing speed is about 109 mph with the driver.
• PrettyGood: Hit the new Ping G400 fairway this morning. My current 3-wood is the 2016 PING G series, at 14.5-degrees. So, between the two models: Turbulators on the G400 are definitely more pronounced. Footprint of the G400 looks bigger, and it’s a rounder shape somewhat (60stoday.com says G400 is ~12cc larger). Sole of the G400 does look a bit flatter, but no difference hitting shots. G400 face feels more lively, and it’s louder… but no more or less pleasing to hit, just different. Switching my own shaft between the two, performance looked pretty close… G400 maybe a shade higher, if anything. G400 headcover much nicer, big improvement. That’s about it.

TaylorMade M1 2017 (7.88 percent)

• lowball5732: My TaylorMade M1 15-degree is a wonder! Either off the deck or on the tee — optimal performance for me. My wife swears by her M2. She’s straight and true!
• Rdarling18: I really hit Taylormade’s entire M family pretty good. I went with the M1 because it was most consistent for me. However both M2 models (M2 and M2 Tour) are very long.
• AWD430: TaylorMade’s M1 was giving better distance than M2 when I hit them. I do agree that the M2 head on this year’s model seems very big when hitting off the deck.
• gpleonard: My two cents is the TaylorMade M1 HL 2017 is a monster both of the deck and from the tee… It is a go to club for me on long Par 5’s and on short Par 4’s off the tee.
• Mob: I have the TaylorMade M1 2016 and tried it against the M1 2017 and preferred the 2016 model for some reason. I know that I am supposed to prefer the newer model, but I consistently hit the 2016 straighter. Distance was a wash.

TaylorMade M2 Tour (8.94 percent)

• AThompson_3: Best fairway wood by far is TaylorMade M2 Tour. Exceptional feel, workability, and forgiveness. Great off the tee while also able to launch the ball off the fairway very easily. Fantastic club. Expecting it be in my bag for years to come.
• Bomber_11: TaylorMade’s M2 Tour would get all 3 of my votes if I could do that. Wins out on distance, accuracy, forgiveness, versatility, and feel.
• Roadking_6: M2 Tour HL is an absolute beast this far (in my testing).
• halfsumo: M2 Tour: best look, sound, feel and performance. M1: awesome look and feel, I just decided to go with a 3HL version and since the M2 Tour spins less, I went with that to counteract the extra loft. Mizuno JPX900: second best look and feel and best stock shaft of anything out there by far.
• DeCuchi: M2 Tour. Higher launch and less spin makes it an excellent choice. Forgiveness is on par with other top fairways makes it the cream of the crop.
• Scratchat50: M2 Tour HL with a Project X HZDRUS 75g shaft (6.5-flex, -1 inch under std). Been searching for a great 3 wood for over 10 years. This is it!
• john443: M2 Tour is THE 3 wood of 2017.

Titleist 917F2 (10.13 percent)

• bazinky: I’ve spent years searching for a fairway wood that I could hit with a consistent shot shape/pattern, and I finally found it in the Titleist 917 F2.
• tleader: I went from the Titleist 915F to the Titleist 917F2. Found them very similar, perhaps a slight increase in launch and more consistent across the face on mishits. Went with the 16.5-degree so it was an easy decision.
• MJL313214: I’ve hit the 917F2 at 16.5 degrees a good bit. It’s crazy long compared to the previous fairway woods. I like the slightly bigger look than the 917F3.

Review: Titleist 917F2 and 917F3 Fairway Woods

TaylorMade M2 2017 (12.60 percent)

• Gnomesteel: (The TaylorMade M2 2017 fairway wood is) long off the tee and easily hit off the deck with control. Best of both worlds.
• kush614: My vote is for M2 2017, as well. Gaming a 15-degree M2 2017 with an Oban Kioyshi White shaft. Mid launch, low spin monster.
• venturagolfer87: There’s nowhere even remotely close to me that has the M2 Tour, but my 3HL normal M2 is as close to automatic as I’ve ever been. I’ve never been able to hit 3 woods, to the point where for the last few seasons, the next club in my bag after driver was a 5 wood that was shortened an inch. The M2 2017 is somehow just as easy to hit, and looooooong.
• johnnylongballz72: M2 3HL with AD DI 7X; probably the single best golf club I have ever owned.
• qwetz: I’m playing a 3HL M2 with a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue and it’s just a bomber from the deck or the tee.
• lordemsworth: How do those that have hit Epic fairway feel about the sound? That dull thwack is awful. As another opinion, I found the M2 2017 easier to hit consistently than the Epic fairway. Both from tee and deck.
• Porsche928: I had the M2 2017 and it was huge too hard off the deck. Never hit the M1 2017 but had the old M1 2016 for a demo and loved it.

Callaway GBB Epic (13.37 percent)

• mcgem: Hands down, without a doubt, Callaway’s GBB Epic fairway is the best of this year’s crop.
• Sean2: I have three Callaway Epic fairway woods and am quite enamored with their performance at 16/20/24 degrees. I am comfortable standing over the ball with any of these woods in my hands. I have no problem hitting the 16-degree off the turf and I find it a very good club on tight driving holes. The 7 and the 9 fly high and land soft.
• aussieb: Tested the Mizuno JPX-900 fairway wood on a few occasions now and it’s really the best off the deck, adjustable from 13-17 degrees and the sliding weight dials it in, has a great stock shaft and sounds as good as it looks. Ping’s G400 was really solid and forgiving, didn’t spin too much and set up well for my eye. A bit of adjustability and stock Tour shafts are great. Callaway Epic had the smallest head and best ball speeds off the tee. I didn’t really care for the sound and lack of forgiveness compared to the previous two, was dead feeling but that’s mostly shaft I think.
• leftshot: I went through a thorough fitting at Club Champion last month and had access to most of the heads on this list. So I know the answer FOR ME. Notably none of the top fits involves a club head with the standard shafts offered off the rack. The results of my testing was: 1. Callaway GBB Epic: Distance #1 (Tied), Dispersion #1, Off-center hits #1 2. Titleist 917F3: Distance #1 (Tied), Dispersion #2, Off-center hits #3 3. TaylorMade M2 2017: Distance #3, Dispersion #3, Off-center hits #2
• rony10: Epic. Accuracy, forgiveness and flight, distance is very good to.
• Benkross: I just put an Epic in the bag. I tried the M2, M2 Tour, M1 (2017 and 2016) and was playing a Titleist 915F and prior a 913Fd and 909 F3 before that. The Epic sounded the best and feels awesome. The 2016 M1 was the worst feeling 3 wood I’ve ever played. I’m replacing the shaft in the Epic so I’m excited to use it this weekend.
• kgeorge78: The Epic looks much smaller than the M2 2017 for some reason and easier to hit off the deck.

A luggage cover can help protect your suitcase in transit and make it easy to identify at baggage collection. Stand out from the crowd with a luggage cover that suits the needs of your next adventure.

For ease of use, look for one that offers easy access to your belongings, as well as slots or openings for both the wheels and handles.

Why Buy a Luggage Cover?

Your shiny new suitcase may claim to be super-tough and resistant to almost anything, but in reality, the rigors of air travel and baggage handlers can eventually take their toll. Luggage covers can help to protect your suitcase from the bumps and knocks of flying, as well as to keep dirt, dust, and other debris away from your neatly packed belongings.

A well-wrapped case can also act as a deterrent to light-fingered thieves, as a break in the wrapping is a sure sign that it has been tampered with during transit.

While some airports do offer wrapping stations that allow you to cover your own case in cling wrap, the excessive use of single-use plastic is alarming and not environmentally sustainable.

Bottom Line: Reduce your carbon footprint while keeping your gear well-protected by investing in your own reusable and easily identifiable luggage cover.

Do Luggage Covers Work?

If you use a flimsy case or one that’s practically an antique, it is entirely possible that nothing will protect it from harm in transit. But for more modern and durable cases, luggage covers can offer an extra layer of protection that is certainly worth considering.

At the very least, a luggage cover can protect your bag from the dirt and grease of the luggage carts and belts, as well as keeping zip pulls and handles from being snapped or ripped off. They will also help you to instantly identify your case at arrivals, meaning you can be out of the airport far quicker than your fellow travelers.

PVC vs. Spandex

Some more expensive cases come with a PVC cover thrown in, but you can also buy these separately. Spandex covers are also a popular choice and come in a wide range of colorful designs for super-speedy baggage collections.

PVC covers are thick and waterproof without adding weight and usually come with clever cut-outs that allow you to slide the cover over your upright suitcase while still allowing for supersmooth rolling and easy access to your handle.

They won’t draw attention to your case and simply act as a dust and waterproof layer for your belongings. However, they don’t always fit exactly as they should, leaving corners of your case vulnerable to the knocks and damage you are trying to protect it from.

Spandex covers, however, are designed to act like a T-shirt for your suitcase and offer a tight, stretchy fit that molds to the shape of your case. Complete with cut-outs for the wheels and handles, these types of covers are available in a range of colors and designs, and you can even have them printed with an image of your own face to ensure that your case never ever goes astray!

Hot Tip: The downside of spandex cases is that you can’t access the contents of the case without removing it fully.

Airport Security and TSA

The TSA is there to open and inspect any luggage pieces as and when it deems necessary. This means that no suitcase is immune to a potential inspection and that your luggage cover, no matter how special it is, will not prevent the TSA from gaining access.

If you use a PVC cover with a zip, it is possible that they will open the case more carefully, but cling wrap will be cut right through and no longer useful, while spandex cases will be removed without any care or attention.

Bottom Line: While there is no real way to prevent security agents from damaging your luggage cover, packing your case without any prohibited items will make it less likely to be searched in the first place.

As most of you know I like to talk hitting, specifically in terms of swing mechanics. I am of the belief that improving someone’s swing can make them a better hitter and that evaluating a hitter’s swing can help get an idea of a player’s potential. Crazy notions, but it interests me. Still, not everyone with good swing mechanics becomes good hitters and hitters with poor swing mechanics become good hitters. Like the golf swing or basketball jumpshot, some guys do just fine with questionable mechanics. With a certain short-stop making his final trip to Oakland this weekend I thought I would discuss one of these exceptions: Derek Jeter.

Jeter’s name comes up a lot in discussing hitting because quite simply he is a pretty good hitter, especially for a shortstop. He has amassed over 3000 hits and a solid wRC+ of 120 over his 2600+ game career. Beyond that, Jeter is a broadcaster’s dream with his ability to hit the ball to all fields with his “inside-out” swing. Take a look at his stats to all fields. Very nice.

Left Center Right Career wRC+ 118 129 148 % of AB 33 34 33

Jeter is also very popular and plays in New York. This has led to tons of endorsements, commercials, and tons of exposure on ESPN. Jeter has developed a line of instructional gear, books, and videos to teach hitters how he plays. But is he the best model to teach hitting? Let’s find out.

Below is a perfect example of a typical Jeter at-bat. The pitch is a 92 mph fastball right down the middle that Jeter hits out to right field.

Let’s got through the swing. I froze the GIF at toe-touch and we see the first thing Jeter does a little different. As I showed here, typically hitters like to move the bat in to a more aggressive position as they finish their stride. From the side view, the bat is usually positioned somewhere over the head. Think of this like the backswing in golf: too short and you won’t have much power, too long and it is hard to control. Jeter is definitely on the short side. But not a kiss of death, so let’s move on.At heel plant, Jeter gets the top half of his swing going by aggressively slotting the rear elbow. This puts the bat in a pretty flat position and the upper body in a poor position to generate power. If you are familiar with hitting mechanics, this type of movement leads to a very common flaw called bat drag. (For more info on how MLB hitters typically use the rear arm, watch this video.) Moving into contact, we do see that Jeter has really good lower body function, but something is a bit off at contact. Jeter is making contact pretty far out front (by his front foot) but has kept the bat open by breaking down his lead arm. Here is a still of another swing at contact.

Now here is about a dozen other hitters at contact. We can see a much different approach in regards to the front arm. The other hitters keep the front arm firm which forces the bat to close, sending pitches hit off the front foot to the pull side. To hit the other way, typically hitters hit the ball a little deeper in the zone.

In fact, Jeter’s swing is actually poorly suited for pulling the ball. Eighty percent of the contact to Jeter’s pull side is a ground ball. Eighty percent! If not for Jeter’s ability to beat out an infield hit on 11.4% of these ground balls, Jeter would actually be a below average hitter to the pull side.

So why is there a post on a New York Yankee on Athletics Nation? I get asked enough about Jeter that I thought it was deserving of a post. I treat evaluating players based on swing mechanics by playing the numbers. Based on the way the vast majority of successful hitters swing the bat, I wouldn’t have predicted Jeter to reach 3000 hits. But like I have said many, many times, swing mechanics aren’t everything. Some players just have enough intangibles to make it work. Jeter is one of these exceptions. Good for him. But it doesn’t mean I will use him as an example for teaching or comparison. Josh Donaldson’s swing will do just fine.
