    I am a senior golfer, 73 and bought a sim2 max about 3 weeks ago. I was playing an M2 driver.
    The feel and sound of this driver is incredible. I love the sound and feel of this driver.
    I played with it two days ago and missed only 1 fairway and picked up 20-30 yards.
    I rate this driver very high. Give it a try.

  • @slewofdamascus
    @slewofdamascus 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    The SIM2 D is the best driver I have used, hands down. The 45 gram shaft is amazingly stable. The distance is ideal, but the consistency of shots is what separates this driver from its past editions. I launch them all day, slight draw right down the middle, with exceptional roll-out. 5 stars.

    I have been using the SIM2 for three weeks and the big advantage over last years is more consistent launch. The feel off the face is still as good. Been playing TSI3 for last 8 months which is an exceptional driver. The big difference is the toe up look at address for the SIM2 which means you have to switch off that part of your thoughts and just swing. For me a big improvement over last years SIM which for me launched low and struggled with highish toe strikes.

I didn't like the D this week because of the draw bias so I went to a Sim 2 driver with 60 stift shaft. Can't wait to hit it. Dialed 1 from a 9 degree lower. Can't wait to hit it

    What a brilliantly produced review. Thank you for your honest appraisal. I’m just getting back to playing after a 30 year absence. I have a set of Macgreggor’s which I bought in Scotland about 32 years ago. I have a natural draw when I use my driver, which has an offset. I can’t afford a new set of clubs in one hit. So I’m going to change the driver first and see how I get on. They’re certainly a bit dearer now!!

    I just bought a sim2 max in a Ventus 6-S shaft. It is the best, most consistent driver I've used. Very happy with my purchase

    I just bought the SIM 2 and absolutely love it. I previously owned the Cobra F9 and for me a the SIM 2 is in a leage of its own.

    Had a 2017 M1 and added a 16g fitting weight to the draw/fade track. Bunched all the weights to the centre for lowest possible spin and launch. Total beast. Was getting 280 out of it. Lasted maybe 200 swings and the tip snapped at the top of the adapter.It was a used shaft so it was unclear if it was already cracked or not seated deep enough in the adapter when built.. Wound up selling the driver and went to a Cobra F9 and now a SZ.

    Just tested the SIM 2 for an hour on trackman. Easily the MOST forgiving driver I've personally hit, without giving up any performance. I was fit for Cobra F9 . The SIM 2 with the same shaft/loft setup beat my F9 by 9 yards carry /10 yards total . I gained 3 mph club speed, 2 mph ball speed.The dispersion was massively better than my F9 ! Which tells me that the ballspeed retained on mishits was significantly better than my Cobra F9. I like to play a tight fade , hate missing left ..I found that toe strikes with the SIM still held start line , and stayed straight . Where my F9 would be 30 yards left ! I'll be ordering one today .

    Rick and pete battle of the reviews lol. I havent watched one of petes but have watch all of ricks this year

  • @overpar9878
    @overpar9878 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the honesty of the review.. but once again Rik has not compared it to the other drivers he has recently tested.. so here you go (and can I have a job please,,,)
    Epic speed 285 carry, 307 total...
    Epic Max 282 carry, 304 total
    Ping Max 282 carry, 306 total
    Ping LST 282 carry, 304 total.
    Sim 2: 285 carry, 309 total
    Sim 2 Max: 285 carry, 310 total
    The weird thing is he makes little mention of dispersal which, for most golfers, is by far and away the most important factor when using drivers.. I will get my coat.

  • @rejnormandin4658
    @rejnormandin4658 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What makes me happy is that you are saying that the clubs are real good , but not that much better ...
    That makes me feel better about my numbers with new drivers i’ve tested.

  • @ongta1265

    In September 2014, Rick Shiels hit Srixon Z 545 Driver outside on the range, carried 297 yards. Since then, I have seen all these big brand drivers hover around 280-292. There it is!
