1. TaylorMade SIM
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- “Recently had a fitting, SIM was the stand out performer for me.” -Member craz-e
- “The thing was seriously nuclear. My clubhead speed bumped up only about 1 or 2 MPH, but the launch and spin were incredible, as well as ball speed. I topped out at 170 ball speed, which I had never gotten before.” -Member filwelix
You can also check out reviews from the GolfWRX members who visited the TaylorMade Kingdom to test SIM, and read what others are saying in the GolfWRX forums: Official TaylorMade SIM discussion. You can check out our launch piece here.

5. TaylorMade SIM Max
Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying
- “They did something different this year because these drivers are insanely good… With the SIM Max there is no ballooning into wind, just a fiery straight shot, the G410 Plus has tendencies to spin up on me into wind. Twist Face seems to actually work this time around and I can finally draw with the high toe without having to worry about the random high fade. Excellent all-around performer.” -Member mrmikeac
- “Sim Max and it isn’t even close for me. Outperformed my G400 Max and my all-time favorite M2.” -Member Haber

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations
In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:
“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.
Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”
And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.
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.
- AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons. They look really good for being a GI iron.”
- bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
- vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
- J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
