TaylorMade SIM 2 Golf Driver

TaylorMade Sim 2 Driver 

 

The launch of a new range of TaylorMade Metal woods is always a highly anticipated day on the golfing calendar, and that will certainly be the case this year as TaylorMade release the follow up to their wildly popular SIM range of last year. The new SIM 2 range of drivers has already been fully embraced by the TaylorMade Tour players with virtually all of them moving across to the new model. Clearly there is something special at hand here, so let’s look at what TaylorMade have done to improve upon the already superb SIM. 

 

The main enhancement found on the SIM 2 driver is the new Forged Ring Construction which takes the form of a large blue ring that circumnavigates the back part of the head. Made from an extremely lightweight and strong aluminium the Forged Ring serves to unite a large rear weight, full carbon crown and sole and new milled back cup face.  This hugely improves the stability of the driver and makes the SIM 2 by far the most forgiving driver TaylorMade have ever produced. The aim here is to give golfers the confidence to use driver even when faced with a tight tee shot. 

 

The Speed injected Twist-Face remains and sees the face of each driver produced right to the edge of legality, ensuring that ball speeds are as fast off the face as are allowed by the rules. The Twist face is a corrective curvature built into the face of each driver which helps to straighten out the curve of shots that have been struck out of the heel or toe. 

 

As with the SIM, the SIM 2 looks superb when placed behind the ball at address. The now familiar carbon crown has been darkened, and the outer edges of the crown are highlighted by striking blue lines that hints to the Forged Ring that lies unseen under the back of the head in the same colour. The Speed In Motion Inertia Generator once again adorns the sole of the club and its drag reducing, aerodynamic properties have been proven to aid with increasing clubhead speed.   

 

The Thru-Slot Speed Pocket has been re-engineered to be the most flexible iteration of it to date and wraps around onto the front part of the sole. This makes it much more effective on low face strikes which has historically been one of the more distance sapping places to strike the ball. Spin has always increased on low face strikes as well but this has been kept to a minimum by the improvement in the speed-slot. 

 

Another big change from last year’s SIM is the total removal of the sliding weight track. TaylorMade are trying to improve driving distance by doing everything they can to increase clubhead speeds. The weight track added a large amount of weight to the SIM and its removal will allow for faster clubhead speeds without the need for extra effort. 

 

The two stock shaft options are excellent with both the new Hzrdus Smoke RDX and Tensei AV Raw Blue ideally suited to the SIM 2 characteristics. Many superb upcharge shafts will be available through our express custom service which allows you to build your ideal driver and have it delivered to you in 3 days. 

 

The TaylorMade SIM 2 will undoubtedly be one of the best performing and best-selling drivers of 2021 as its explosive power is combined with the new forgiveness enhancing technology. If you are in the market for a new driver that is capable of hitting low spinning bombs, even when struck off-centre, then the new TaylorMade SIM 2 driver would be a stellar choice.
