What is the SIM2 Max Driver?

Equipped with the newly designed Forged Ring Construction, the SIM2 Max is TaylorMade’s most forgiving and most technologically advanced driver to date.

Tech Talk
• Innovative Forged Ring Construction: Bringing together all the piece of TaylorMade’s SIM2 Max Driver clubhead, the brand-new Forged Ring Construction is the key to this club. Made out of lightweight, yet very resistant aluminum, the Forged Ring holds the remodeled rear weight, which is designed to help with forgiveness and launch because of its strategic location at the back of the clubhead. The Forged Ring also connects the carbon fiber sole and top of the clubhead to the Speed Injected Twist Face of the club.
• Speed Injected Twist Face: Making a return from the M6 and the SIM line, the Speed Injected Twist Face was reimagined for the release of the SIM2 Max. While the Twist Face remains mostly the same, it’s the injection process that differs a little with this new driver. Instead of having two small injection holes near the bottom of the clubface, a single injection is made at the toe of the sole, right behind the clubface. This allows for an entirely clean clubface without any possibility of making contact with one of these little screws that were featured on the clubface of the SIM.
• SIM Inertia Generator: Updated through the new design of the SIM2 Max driver, the SIM Inertia Generator is back again to help with forgiveness and launch at impact. The Inertia Generator allows for more speed at impact, while also providing all the forgiveness you could ever need with its lowered CG and its lightweight clubhead.


Expert Review


The TaylorMade SIM2 Max Driver is a solid choice for golfers seeking forgiveness and distance.

The TaylorMade SIM2 Max Driver is a noteworthy addition to the golf equipment landscape, designed with a focus on forgiveness and distance. Having personally tested this driver, I found its standout feature to be the enhanced forgiveness, making it an excellent choice for beginners or those working on refining their swing.

On the positive side, the SIM2 Max incorporates innovative technology, such as the forged aluminum ring and carbon composite crown, contributing to a lower center of gravity and increased moment of inertia. This translates to improved stability on off-center hits, a definite plus for players aiming to enhance their consistency.

However, it's crucial to note that while the forgiveness aspect is commendable, the club's feel for the ball and the control you’ll have over its trajectory is a bit lackluster. This might deter some players looking to maximize the shape of their shots around the golf course.

In summary, its cutting-edge design and lower center of gravity are what make this club so special, but its limits when it comes to shot shaping can’t be ignored.

Forgiveness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Shot Shaping: ⭐⭐⭐
Distance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
