Best driver of 2020: The top 5
Read the discussion in the forums here
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
