No but I use an F7 and have F7 FW and hybrids as well.  I don't think they changed much except the weighting system.

I also have the F7 but I tried the F8 at the same time and there didn’t seem much different so I went the the less expensive. I also felt the same way about the hybrid but I got the F8 because it was my birthday and I deserved it.

I bought the F8 this spring and love it. Off-center shots don't hurt you as much and it has a nice solid sound when struck. I initially got it with a stock regular shaft (Mitsubishi - Bassara E-Series 42) but recently had a chance to test it with a stiff shaft (Aldila NV-65S) and it really lowered the ball flight to a more reasonable angle (15* vs 18*) and lower spin rate. 

HTH!

Ordered a F8 tour length a week ago, delivered yesterday, took it to the course today. Never having hit it before I had one of my best driving games in a long, long time. It wasn't really longer than the M2 I had, but it was definitely much, much easier to find the fairway.

I play the F8+ and I really like it. 3 things that made me purchase it.

1 - It was only $299, including custom fitting and I had a $60 off coupon which could not be used with Taylormade, Ping, Calloway, or Titleist. I ended up getting fitted into a Project X, black, shaft 70/6. 

2 - I'm a big fan of Arccos. Getting fit into a midsized grip that came with Cobra Connect was a no brainer. 

3 - It is almost impossible to put an idiot mark on this driver. My driver miss is often a shoulder drop, sky ball off the top of the driver head. Every time I trade in a driver it has at least one idiot mark on the top. 

I tried the F8 regular and hated it. Way too draw biased for my taste. Everything was either left or more left. The F8+, on the other hand, was perfect for me. I will say this, the sound takes some getting used to. It's very muted, almost silent. 

Overall, I really like the F8+. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
