Smaller head Drivers, 440 CC or 425 CC

TM used to specific label their smaller cc drivers, like the 2016 M1 (430cc) and the 2017 M1 (440cc). Can't remember if they continued that with the M3/M4/M5/M6?

 

M3 had a 440 model, the M5 had the M5 Tour, which was 435cc.  Doesn't appear to be something like that in the SIM world.

Smaller drivers...

 

Maybe what doesn't sync with your swing is the longer heel-to-toe clubhead of many current sticks.  In which case something with a deeper face and slightly smaller would suit you, such as M1 430?  Or the Godfather of deep faced drivers, the R9 SuperDeep; its 460cc but definitely looks smaller due to that depth.

 

R9 is 418cc to 422cc, could also work.

 

Stuart touched on the length/weight angle, and that may be more likely.  Get something at 44" maximum, with a slightly heavier shaft (or really heavier, like 90g, if you can use it effectively), and give it a chance for a month.  This is my personal fave; I'm currently using a King LTD at 43.25" with a ProtoPype 80, and also use an Original One with RIP 80 at 43.5".

(Disclaimer, my swing is such that my swingspeed is maxed at 43" or 43.25", so this suits me better than many)

 

The old TM movable weight clubs are great for this, you can easily add weight to the clubhead with aftermarket weights (if you court the displeasure of the golf gods by being lead tape averse).  The dual weight Cobras are also great that way, a lot of models to choose from, though F6 and F7 weights might be hard to find.

A little 430cc SIM would be NASTY. Low spin monster
