I bought sim max, haven't hit it enough to give a opinion. I was really bummed when I found out the shaft was glued and not changeable. Might have changed my choice just by that.

I’ve got a glued shaft in a Wilson D7 driver. It looks sleeker from address and also feels great. Glued hosel is an attractive feature to me.

I am finding the same results with the Ti 3 wood with a Graphite Design GP 7x shaft in it... its explosive and very consistent.

The TI fairways are like everyone has said really explosive. I hit down on the ball a ton and put a lot of spin on it so the TI made more sense for me than the Max. They were both great heads just the TI fit into my windows better.

Picked up a SIM Max 3/15 with the Ventus Blue shaft and it is a beast!! Only hit it indoors at a local simulator but already is my new favorite club in my bag!

I made the mistake of hitting the TI, and it's likely going to chase my trusty M2 3 wood out of the bag. With the same shaft, I'm getting a better trajectory and it's a super consistent couple yard fade. The 3 wood is easily the worst club in my bag, so picking up some improvement there would be a big positive.

Did you ever get a chance to compare the Sim with the M5 TI fairway ? Traded my Titleist woods for the M5 TI 3 wood and I am pleasantly surprised....I am Tiger !!
