In our forums, our members have been comparing and contrasting TaylorMade’s original SIM driver with the latest SIM2. There is much love for both drivers amongst our members, who have been sharing their thoughts on why they feel one is better than the other for them.

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.

benclab: “I just got the SIM2, and it’s better to me. Feels better, a tad more forgiving and still hits bombs. Funny, I was making fun of the colors a few months ago, and here I am rocking one. Lol.”
SmashGolfBall: “The OG SIM has a slightly more fade basis compared to SIM2. And the SIM2 also launches a touch higher with slightly more spins. Ball speed-wise should be identical.”
QuigleyDU: “In my opinion, The SIM was better for me.. I don’t think that is the case for everyone. They are different and do different things. The SIM2 is way more forgiving and neutral. It also has a much deeper face that many prefer. I found the SIM to be faster; the SIM2 launches higher and spins a little more. So while they share a name and similar construction. They are pretty different drivers by their DNA.”
DallasDan: “SIM2 Max is a monster for me. The weight and balance just fit my swing. Longest driver I have ever hit.”

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.”
