Any M1 440 Lovers/Haters on here?

Instead of lurking, I decided to post! lol

 

Last year was a terrible year for me on the course.  Worse scores I have posted in 7-8 years (two kids under 3 is my excuse).  I sold off my drivers and just recently snagged an M1 440 which hasn't arrived yet and one that I have never hit.  I suck off the tee, but generally hit my fairways well, which got me thinking the smaller head might not be a bad thing to try.  

 

So those of you that have hit it, what are your overal impressions?

Nice distance, very good spin, demanded center hits for great performance. Not very forgiving, so it didn't get purchased, I went the 460 route instead.

No personal experience here, but with everything I read, the 440s are generally "player's" drivers (recent Pings an exception to that rule). Have you tried a 13* three wood? I have one for when all of the drivers in the garage have gone south on me.

I fought with my ‘16 M1 430 for over a year. Working with a shaft (my 4th attempt) stiff and heavy enough and this thing is finally firing artillery shells. As others have mentioned re: smaller heads; out of the center this thing is awesome but stray toward the perimeter and performance drops off precipitously. One other thing, if you like working your tee ball both directions, I think the smaller heads are a better fit.

I have one. I found it to be better than the 460 for me. Better clubhead speed and numbers. Plus I like the look.

So I decided against the 440...long story short, it was advertised with one shaft and when I got it, it wasn't the right one. So instead of fighting it is just returned it. Appreciate the feedback. While I want a smaller driver, I can't sacrifice the forgiveness.
