rsilman Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I am seriously interested in hitting the SIM whenever this pandemic calms down and clubfitters open back up near me.

Quigleyd Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I have been playing the sim for a while and really like it. But, I just switched to the SIM max. I like the deeper face and I like the higher moi and stability. I feel more consistent with it.

Hotdocta Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I loved the distance with the sim, but I love my max d for the misses. They are not ob like the sim.

I don’t think the spin was out of control because I could see a fair amount of rollout, I just like to be able to work the ball a little Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk JKim2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juspoole Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Not sure how much this will help, but I was able to try the SIM over the weekend. Granted the shaft was not fit exactly to me, but spin really was higher than optimal compared to some others. Usually with Taylormade, they are too low spinning for me - or at least the M5 was that way. This made it a fairly forgiving club minus one or two very bad swings, but I was not getting the distance that I would be looking for. Swing speed was about the same as others the the Science in Motion didn't change much for me. To help with numbers, I was hitting on trackman and around 111 - 115 swing speed. Others were 260 - 270 carry on average, but SIM was more like 250 and 275 - 280 distance while others were 285 - 300.

Hotdocta Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Yes I liked sim max but to me it felt open. I went with max d. I am about 5-8 yards shorter than sim but way straighter.

It depends on how he’s feeling but normally somewhere around this time of the normal season he picks a head as doesn’t change after that.
