I live in an Asian city, and they don't carry as many older models as they may do in North America. The store had many Stealth and Stealth 2's (including their variations), but not the Sim2 anymore. There weren't any available in the used section. I had like 4 rounds of golf in 2 weeks, and so I was kind of desperate to get a new driver, and I just felt like the TSR2 would be a good fit based on what I read and watched, as well as having tried a couple swings previously on the course with a friend's. The simulator was the same simulator at the same usual spot that I go to, and without a doubt in golf mode. Unfortunately, I did not really record my launch angle and spin numbers with my SIM2, so full comparison might be tough now. On the equipment side, besides the head, overall swing weight was lower with the new TSR2 (D2) vs Sim2(D4). But, honestly, when I had my Sim2 at C9, I hit the ball even slightly further. Not sure what the deal is with my new driver. My typical clubhead speed for both clubs average at around 100-103 range. Top would be like 105/106, and low would be 98ish.

I don't think I have the data, even though I go to the simulator to practice a lot. Both clubs are in neutral settings. SIM2 was 10.5* loft and the new TSR2 is 10* loft. And of course, the tee height is consistent for every single shot, since it's the sim. Very frustrating to lose 20-25 yards of carry/distance.

The launch is significantly lower. The driver is marketed as a high launch head, but my TSR2 shots were all mid launch.

Before I ask my question, I want to caveat this discussion by first sharing that driver is not my strong suit. It is one of the weaker/weakest parts of my game, along with pitching (unlike my irons/approach/chipping/putting, etc.). I tend to be better when practicing with a simulator, but when I play a round, I often shy away from using the driver. My SIM2 recently broke, and I purchased a TSR2 at the golf store. I have had a couple of sessions with the driver, and I am finding my carry/distance numbers to be 20-30 yards shorter than when I useed the SIM2. SIM2 average distance: 260-275 yards TSR2 average distance: 230-245 yards (I hit maybe only 3-4 shots over 250 out of 45-50 shots) I use a BGT Brava (stiff flex) shaft, which I took from the SIM2 to replace the stock shaft pf the TSR2. I am wondering if the drop off of this magnitude is normal. Also, I wonder if it's possible that my Brava shaft doens't go well with the TSR2, and hence I am producing this result. I did not change my swing, so I really am not sure what it is? Would there be such a large discrepance if a low handicap were to try both drivers? FYI, my club head speed is around 100-105.
