The best TaylorMade drivers of all time – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade drivers. WRXer ‘PlayIt’ is a big fan of the brand’s 320 Ti driver and reaches out to fellow members who have been sharing their favorite TM driver model in our forums.
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.
- TM4me: “Been playing TM woods from the beginning. My R11S was in my bag for a long time, only recently replaced by an M1-440.”
- Luxor54: “Another vote for SLDR 430. I really need to get an appropriate shaft and put it back in the bag for a few rounds. Love the sound, a true bomber.”
- JoeFrigo: “I’ve played about 15 TM drivers….. I would go with R7 SuperQuad.”
- hammergolf: “For me, it’s been the Sim Max. The damn thing just goes straight and finds the fwy. Not sure if it’s twist face or just a really good fit, but hands down this club is the straightest driver I’ve ever hit.”
- R5Two: “The Sim/Sim 2 with an LA Golf shaft has been a monster. Great forgiveness, hot face and great trajectory. By far the longest combo I have hit. Surprise second was the TM Jetspeed. It was just a firm feeling face that launched the ball in the wind I prefer. Absolute beast. Nice firm feel much like the first SIM. Also gamed an R11.. ehh.”
- Arionalefty59: “R7 Superquad had the most aesthetically pleasing look at address. Hard to beat it.”

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.

I like shiny and I like new. Therefore, I’ve been through my fair share of drivers over the years. But I always end up coming back to my 2006 Burner driver. Draws, fades, its a fairway finder. I’ll gladly sacrifice 10yds for the peace of mind it brings. Does it look as good as a Titleist at address, not even close. But, who cares.

M2 is my favorite by far!!

It’s the SIM/SIM2 with an honorable mention to both M2 iterations. Any other response is wildly incorrect and extremely off base

I second that-the SIM/SIM2 are distance monsters, the 2016/2017 M2 have most feel&feedback?
