It’s just to close the driver and make it lighter, there’s still likely metal inside for structural integrity front to back.

My guess is that’s a very rigid structure, as it supports the face. Probably a lot of perimeter weighting in it. Those front and back weights are likely pretty decent weight as well. My guess is they got the MOI pretty darn high on this one. Off center hits will be nice!

dlow206 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I am hoping that the weight towards the heel on the SIM Max 2 makes it less right side biased.

The weight is for swing weight adj. the blue back frame and carbon is lighter so the back weight is heavier. No adjustments on all 3 heads. No slider, nothing.

I though it was maybe just me, but a ton of people found the SIM Max to be right side biased. You are referring to the thread on wrx and I wouldn’t consider that to be indicative of a lot of people especially when in that thread there were several pointing out the reason those who felt it to be fade bias were seeing that as a result of the swing and path/face relationship and not so much the design. I played the sim max all season coming from the standard g400. I bought the sim max 10.5 head and hzrdus smoke green shaft complexity blind. Never hit the shaft since it’s release and outside of the original hzrdus yellow shaft don’t really care for the hzrdus line but the yellow was a shaft fit for me in multiple heads over several releases from different companies. I prefer a fade and with the sim max I had to work hard to get it to move left to right. For me it was a driver than would stay on its start line. The only time it would move in a fade or push fade flight is when I made a bad swing and the face/path relationship caused the start right and fade right flight JohnSmalls 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
