Wanna hear more about the Sim2Max. Can compare to the Proto? 

It’s currently in the bag Osprey. It’s definitely got a touch longer ball in her just toe side of center, 2-3mm high of center. Other than that it’s a wash for me. Looks both are awesome with the Proto+ having a slightly larger footprint, sound both of mine are hot melted so both sound solid and is a definite “thwak” vs “ping” sound. Alignment toss up, shot shape and forgiveness toss up. I could play either and really it’s about fit, getting the shaft and loft specs right then the swing weight. 
 

I actually slightly prefer the less busy address view of the Proto+ but will play the Max2 at least two more round to have a good mind/data set of which is best for the remainder of 21.

Great stuff man. Appreciate it. Most drivers are just so close these days. It’s what looks good at address and what makes each person comfortable when needing to hit a fairway.

100%. Hit the head you like to look at, work a few different type of shafts for your swing speed, work the loft sleeve and add lead tape behind your miss location...test it and then get it hot melted for clean balanced swing weight and fit. Then stop thinking about it. I get a break driver or two every year mainly to try out new shafts and have narrowed it down to really two shafts over the past 5 years and either a TM head and PXG head for 21

So both of the SIM2s are in. Specs...

 

SIM2 Max 9 Degree

Ventus Black Velecore 6S

ZCord Grip

44.75"

 

SIM2 8 Degree

Ventus Blue Velecore 6S

ZCord Grip

44.5"

 

Both builds looks great. The one thing I'm seeing is quite heavy head weights. Has anyone else measured?  Some quick pictures below.

I could be wrong but it looks like another TM staffer back into Original SIM.  Morikawa was using SIM2 but believe in today’s live coverage sure looks like SIM is back in the bag?!

My sim is going back on warranty. They are saying to expect a sim2. Hopefully just as good as the sim cause I loved that thing!

Correct, Morikawa benched the sim2 and has his old SIM in play.  His swing looks dialed right now.

I am a Taylormade fan and play the equipment.  I just don’t recall a Driver Launch and after the main staffers putting them in play for weeks then Changing back to their older Drivers.   When the weather breaks here I will have to do some testing with my SIM vs SIM2 head for sure.  Will be interested to see for sure!

Why change if you are confident and comfortable with the old stuff? I know if I was playing for big money I would be playing what I am comfortable with. I imagine after a few weeks once he gets it dialed in it will be back in the bag. No point in trying to get comfortable with a new club while trying to win a tourney

The word I got back when SIM2 launched is that Morikawa was on the fence in practice rounds and put the SIM2 in to test it in tournament conditions. No surprise he's back to SIM now, as he was pretty dialed.

 

I know people love to read into these things, but he and DJ will eventually be in SIM2. It just might take a few builds before they get there.

Yep. It isn't easy to use a model for a year and then just switch because of a new design. It's easier for some more than others. 

Cobras model last year didnt' really land with Rickie or Bryson. They switched in later.

Well.  As I feared....Looks like Taylormade sent me the Sim 2 Max instead of the 9* Sim 2 I ordered.  They did manage to send the correct shaft specs.   What a total failure on the rollout of the driver this year.  Not sure if this was a GG issue or TM issue.  Looks like I’ll wait a little longer.

How is it a failure on TMs side when it was well known the error for you guys taking advantage of an error on GG and DSG for the Ventus was their fault. What TM sent you is what They sent to TM. First year they did custom order and I hope the last so I don’t have to hear 5 pages of people crying they got a free 250 dollar shaft with wrong head where golf galaxy will prob swap out. 

Taking advantage is hardly what i would call it.  I ordered what was available and paid for it.  I actually thought at the time it was a pre-order promotion.

In all honesty tho, you’re totally right.  Shouldn’t be complaining it’s really not that big of a deal....and hopefully they can tighten that up if they decide to roll out again next year.

I was fit and ordered on Feb 17th . Went in as a "custom " order.  As of last Tuesday it was "in production" . Hoping it wont be too long ..

 

 

Ordered on Feb 15th as a custom order from the PGA Superstore.  Hopefully it won't be too long for me either, I'm getting conflicting info from the store and TMs website so who knows at this point.

Absolutely LOVE the new SIM2!! 1st few swings got pulled hard but noticed that the face sits a lot more neutral than my M5 (always felt it was too open), so much easier to square and turn over the SIM2.

Sim2 got delivered today from the GG/DSG Ventus deal. Couldn’t be happier, specs were perfect, 1” soft tipping, playing at 45.5”, grip specs felt perfect as well. Head was 8* so didn’t see a mix up happening as some have noted.  Will get on the GCquad tomorrow to put it up against my TS4 and throw some stats up to contribute to this thread aside from my my previous nonsensical rambling/complaining.
