TaylorMade 2017 M1 440 Driver

Thirty grams of movable mass sit in this sole, more than the full size M1 carries, split as two matched 15 gram weights instead of the 460's uneven pair. Inside a 440cc head that adds up to 94 percent more front to back travel for the centre of gravity than the 430cc shape it replaced. So the smaller club is the more adjustable one, which is backwards from how these families usually work.

Right-handers only, and three heads that start at 8.5, pass 9.5, and stop at 10.5. No 12 was made and no left-handed build exists, so the model narrows hard before a fitting even starts. The shaft program and the Lamkin UTx Cord grip carry over from the 460 without a change, which leaves head size and weight placement as the only real decisions. Take the 460 for a bigger, steadier footprint.
