Lol. Those were 6 straight, no shots pulled out. The weight forward seemed to really help me feel the club transition so smoothly.

That's what I figured. Just not sure about the structural integrity of that 4g weight. The rage looked just like those too. Dad gum weight broke before I could get on course. You know as well as I do that on course could need a tweak that range and launch monitor wouldn't have suggested. Something about that target focused contact...

I ordered my SIM at 45" and the head came in at 202g

Haven't got the SW tested but it feels great.

Tried the SIM, really nice feel! I think I might go for it this Thursday or Friday. No idea how it will actually perform on the course but it feels really solid considering I hit the top of the face and a bit less half an inch off the center of the face. Simulator results are most likely wrong. 50 yards roll? Lol

Anyone know what the SW would be for the 9 deg SIM with Ventus Black 7x standard/stock length?

Also for those of you that played M5 with the weights all the way forward did you move into the SIM and keep the same low/low shaft? I'm not able to test before buying so going on what has been working. Thinking about getting Ventus Black 7x in the SIM 9 deg wondering if that will be too low launching and should go Blue instead. Currently gaming M5 with Fuji Speeder Evo I Tour Spec at 8 deg. SS 118-120 mph for normal drive not going after it. Fuji changed their site but I think it's a super low spin and mid launching shaft and I really liked it but wanting to try the Ventus. I tried the M5 with Mitsubishi Tensei PO 7x last year and hated it but think it was the counter balance that I didn't get along with.

Continental Golf could certainly help with that! I gave up on worrying about colors ages ago because they can make your club look like just about anything you want.

Does anyone know if TM will sell just shafts for the SIM? I have a 10.5 with PX smoke yellow scheduled to deliver tomorrow but there were a couple other stock shafts that is like to try, (Both Riptides) and don’t want to pay $300 from a dealer.

I may just order a SIM max with a different shaft.

How much difference is everyone seeing in launch between the SIM and the Max? I assume the Max launches higher.

I’m the exact opposite. I play my driver and wood in neutral and literally never move the adjustments. I prefer to find a head that fits and then learn how to hit it each direction. I’m way to ocd , superstitious, and fragile to be moving variables around each round of practice session. So hotmelt is exactly what I want ! Lol

Got told yesterday my SIM Rocket 3 wood is delayed until next week, no word on the SIM 8* Driver. Oh well, It'll give me more time to rehab my shoulder before they come in.

Have been thinking about this setup but my fitter does not have the Velocore versions to test.. Please share how you get along with this setup, thanks!

Great to see TM is finally doing SW, would love to know is it hotmelt or is the back weight heavier?

The non hc version is the production shaft that is/was offered by numerous club manufacturers and not Tm specific. Just like the hzrdus smoke green.

Regaedless of all that you are making a purchase from Discount Dan and not directly from TM. Again the question I responded to was if a shaft could be purchased from TM. The answer is no. Anyone that doesn’t have an account with TM can’t call customer service at TM and order a shaft. I can call my fitter and ask him to order me a shaft from any of the companies he has an account with.
