TaylorMade SIM MAX Golf Driver

TAYLORMADE SIM MAX DRIVER 

Each new season brings with it a new collection of TaylorMade drivers and the launch date is one of the most hotly anticipated dates in the golf equipment calendar. This year has seen TaylorMade move away from its ‘M’ series of drivers and brings us a completely new collection named SIM.

Standing for Shape in Motion, this refers to TaylorMade’s all new soleplate design which offers an asymmetric sole shape to offer the golfer the maximum aerodynamic qualities at the crucial part of the swing – towards impact. This has been proven to increase golfer’s clubhead speeds which can lead to much longer drives.

At address the TaylorMade Sim Max driver certainly looks impressive and it’s their most aesthetically pleasing driver to date. With light grey accenting at the front of the face it contrasts superbly with the carbon crown and is less in your face than the white used to be. The Twist Face, first seen in the M5 and M6 driver, is still present in the SIM Max driver and it does an excellent job of keeping those off centre strikes from going too far off line. Each clubhead is individually injected to bring the face as close to the legal limit as possible guaranteeing the fastest ballspeeds of any driver on the market.  

The Sim range of drivers has massively popular on all the major professional golf tours and is in the bags of countless players who don’t have TaylorMade contracts. This gives an insight into how good this driver actually is. 

At impact the feel of the SIM Max driver is different from its predecessors and feels less metallic than ever before. Both well struck shots and shots hit slightly off centre sound incredible, and give the feeling that ball is going to travel a long way. There is an excellent range of stock shafts available at no extra cost so whatever launch conditions you are looking for or whatever speed you swing at their will be a first-class shaft option for you. 

It’s hard to believe that TaylorMade are able to improve on their previous drivers year after year but there can be no doubt that the SIM range of drivers are the best drivers they have ever produced. The SIM MAX driver is slightly more forgiving that the standard SIM but it is not aimed specifically at higher handicappers. It’s more of a preference here, with the TaylorMade SIM MAX driver offering class leading performance across every key area.
