I bought the whole 440 SFT series (1/3/5/7) a month back substituting amongst other the G430 Max 10K driver. I added at least 20m (8%) in carry to my driving lenght by just getting rid of the very annoying "fade spin" on the ball. Even more compared to an older forgiving driver I still have in my closet. I bought the 9dgr driver, have tuned it down to 7,5, but still trying to play around with weights/hozel settings to get an even lower launch angle with less spin. My prime concern with playing SFT driver is that occasionally I have a more technical correct swing, and then I pull it severely (not hook), but I guess that is still better than fading/slicing almost constantly. The other is that the gap between 3-5-7 were to small (for me), so I had to adjust the 3 closer to a 2, and the 7 closer to an 8 to get a more significant gap between them. I should maybe have settled for a 4 and 7 instead but that is a very personal preference.
