What GolfWRXers are saying about TaylorMade’s SIM 2 driver
In our forums, our members have been discussing the SIM 2 driver. WRXer ‘Getitdaily’ wants to hear from people who currently have the club in the bag and is interested in hearing their experiences as well as the specs they are utilizing.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- jallen0119: “I switched to the Sim2 about a month ago (though I have only played a few rounds with it due to my kids’ baseball schedule). I hit the Sim for about 6 months prior to that. Sim2 is 10.5, and my Sim is 9. I have the Ventus Black 6S and used it in my Sim. Distance is similar, though I do feel that my Sim was a tad longer (that takes into account the different lofts). I like the feel/sound of the Sim2 more. IMO, the Sim2 is more forgiving. Now that my schedule is becoming a bit more normal, I plan on doing some testing with the Sim2 on a launch monitor and a side-by-side comparison to my Sim.”
- Titleist84: “Owned last year’s SIM and this year’s SIM 2 Max. Last year’s SIM was slightly longer, but the SIM 2 Max is way more accurate.”
- The_Champ: “Sim2 10.5, Ventus Black 6X tipped 1″, 45.5″ end of grip, sleeve set to lower. Typical shot shape is a slight push draw with miss being a push out to the left (lefty). Picked up significant (3-5 mph) in club speed and ball speed over my M5. Dispersion is a little all over the place at the moment, with many shots tailing to the right. Been in places on the course this year that I’ve never been before as far as distance goes, though. Sim2 to me is much more forgiving than the original Sim.”
- Mattpgolf15: “I work for Taylormade as a demo tech, and I will be the first to say Sim is far better in my mind than Sim2. Sim, to me, feels more solid off the face and creates a stronger ball flight. Sim 2 is too spiny and seems like my shots curve a touch more with it. Just my 2 cents.”

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
