Analysis from a non-fitter
1. Qi4D Max, while forgiving, didn’t have a specific miss, and the distances were the worst amongst the three.
2. The OPTM Max K preferred to miss right, and the distances were good, maybe even the best. This is probably a driver for those that have left misses.
3. G440 K had similar distances to #2, but the ball flights were fighting to stay straight, or maybe even a little bit draw biased. This driver is probably for us who struggle with a right miss.
In other words,
1. Qi4D = meh
2. OPTM Max K = good for a smidge better distance results and if you typically miss left
3. G440 K = good for straighter shots and if you typically miss right (like me)
Interesting no quantum max or gt4
