NEW TaylorMade SIM Drivers: LONGER, FASTER or same again?

It means so much to get so many nice comments - you guys are the best and I'm going to reply to you ALL (it may take a while😂) My reviews will ALWAYS be 100% honest. I will tell you what the brands claim and then I will test them and tell you what I find!

Selling my r11 getting sim

Numbers are exactly the same as the Stealth 2.0 that just came out. Don't waste your money on new drivers!

With all the adjustments you can do by yourself on the spot it's so much more fun golfing. Also it's is a tailor-made shot by TaylorMade...phenomenal.

I play this driver and Rick it’s an insane driver good for high handicappers needing to get the ball in the air and wanting lots of forgiveness

I am still using a Taylor Made R 360 XD. I feel it's time for me to upgrade. Pretty sure I would see a major difference. Sadly, I don't have $500 to put on a driver.

I know it's been 2 years,but it took that long.Yhr driver was great.Loved it.BUT..last week the Complete Cap (crown) flew off the top.After researching this is common.Poorly constructed.I will not own another.Ever.

The blue look's great

You're the best Rick. Love all your videos

M6 vs sim? Anyone...

Rick, great video!
One thing I’d like to point out, being a pro you are a little more consistent than maybe an amateur player would be. I’m curious to see how changes like these effect that average golfer if at all! Food for thought

I have the Sim Max and cant hit a ball straight yet 😫

if they took some of the million words off of that club it might swing faster

Just got 2020 Sim Max to replace 2017 M1 1st hit on course with no warm up killed it feels so much lighter than M1 love it !

i hit my friends sim max after 3 years of the same cobra driver and added 50 yards on my first swing

Hi Rick. What are your thoughts on the sim2 irons for a high handicap newer golfer?

Its called sim because its similar to last year model

I have the sim and I can't stop duck hooking the ball

If I'm drawing the ball to much should I put the weight on draw or fade?

240 carry there on the range...

I hate those people that just smash the driver one after another at the range

Shyte in motion....😁

I had the M3 with the twisted face and I went back to an older R1 driver. Some reason, the M3 was shorter and not consistent in hits. Not sure why other than the twisted face design. Would like to try the SIM, but something tells me the same issue as the M3.

I've played just about every Taylormade driver ever released and distance wise it's about the same with previous generations. What I have found thus far with my Sim is that it seems to be straighter and more forgiving.

Taylor Made puts the SIM into similar. I will never bag on someone buying the newest driver on the market. Cause imma gonna buy it from him next year for 100 bucks

I snapped my m6 so I bought this 😂😂😂

Superb review great job!

I love the draw thing that no help at all thanks its great review

So the adjustable weight in the back does not do a damn thing. Great video Rick.

Thank you for the review! I am buying this one for the looks alone. I have found that there is no difference really between the M5 and the SIM Max. My current Driver is 15 years old now, so it is time for something new. I actually want the SIM Max2 (2021 model) but can't find a deal on it, so I am settling for the SIM Max (2020 model) because I can get a used one in good condition which will save me about $250.

I want it just because the loft. I hit the ball high and I can't stand high lofted drivers 8 degree is my sweet spot

I think the problem was that you were using what looked to be a Ping torque driver to adjust the weight.

I love your channel. I would like to ask why you don't use tracers on all your shots when on the course? It's only a handful of shots, so is it that difficult to edit those shots with a tracer? Just curious

I just got a SIM Max D. My last driver was a Ti350. You may have to look it up!!! 1996 ish...

i'm a 15 handicapper who picked this driver up today and instantly got an extra 10 miles an hour compared to my old one. so there ya go!

Rick if you keep weight in middle will it just be like the max driver ?
I’ve just brought one and I got a little fade

I have a 2016 M2 driver. A few months ago I tested a Sim Max head against the M2 head, both with my existing shaft, using TrackMan at a club-fitter’s facility. Unfortunately I dont recall my clubhead speed, but average carry distance improved by 12 yards and dispersion was very significantly tighter. So even though changing from M5 to SIM may not be of benefit, stepping up from M2 most certainly is. Great review as always, Rick. Really enjoy all of your videos 👍👍

Uses a Ping tool to loosen the sliding weight on Taylormade driver 🤣

SIM = slice if mediocre swing....:)

It was literally faster then the m6... how are you going to deny the proof?

And you Might say Slightly Improved Marketing but Speedback is precisely the same as Speedzone and RAD.

Sim is best driver in golf. Ask Tiger and yes I know he has ro play with Sim cus he is with taylormade. But he said he will play with Sim even if he had a choice.

Rick shiels doesn’t for some reason like Taylormade Woods. WHY???

ended up with the Sim Max for a Christmas gift. I had a taylormade R1 driver. Felt that 7 year old driver was time for a upgrade. I usually don't get brand new drivers but since the Sim came out late last year early this year and got a good deal. I hope going with the Max that it goes with how your results went with it being more of the forgiving one. Less stuff I can mess with on the bottom might be better.

I think I’ve made a mistake and we will find out once my Sim gets here. I think I should have bought the Sim max as everyone says it is more forgiving and higher launching with a little more spin. Is anyone else perplexed that they would put the fade/draw rail on the less forgiving option? That makes no sense to me.

I am the proud owner of the sim driver and I love it!!

Rick, thanks for all your awesome content!!! Greetings from Chicago brother!!⛳

currently have an R11...considering one of these

It seems like they make the clubs for the pros where <0.5 mph does make a difference and then find a way to market it to weekend golfers that won't notice a difference!

Thanks Ric, Can you do a similar video you did a few years ago comparing old to new. Would be great to see the numbers on this compared to say an R1, I could save myself a few pennies if the difference is negligible!
