New Taylormade Drivers

[Elee913]

Just saw the post from John Wunder on things he's excited about, including a new Taylormade Driver.  Anyone else hearing anything?  Have been thinking about picking up a Sim Max now even though it's near the end of season, but thinking I should wait now.  

[TheMoneyShot]

We will probably not hear anything for a couple months or so.  

[Trav1989]

Hopefully it’s something special like he is thinking!

Will be curious about launches and releases with no PGA show this year

Taylormade doesn't go to the PGA Show anyways.

I've heard from usually pretty reputable source that the next driver will be more of a departure from SIM vs SIM Gen 2, if that makes any sense.

It makes no sense, lol. SIM might be their best they have ever made.

Agree. Definitely will be picking one up as soon as they inevitably get a price reduction. $500 for a driver with stock shaft is just nuts

[third-times-a-charm]

15 more yards - this time - for sure!

So they're supposed to just sit around and do nothing? Remember, these decisions don't happen in the course of a few months. Whatever's coming next has been in the product pipeline and in development for a couple of years. Whether it's a departure from SIM or a gen2, this has been on their roadmap for a while.

I didnt say that. Im saying its SO good i dont know HOW they could make it better. If they do then hats off.  I mean if they want to make a line geared towards a different golfer, like the callaway b21 or something ok fine, but the SIM has such a good reputation right now, to move away from that name/branding seems unnecessary. 
 

sometimes messing around with something works can take you backwards.. like making a “deep face” sim. It not being deep faced is part of what makes it so good in my opinion. you make it deep faced and you raise the cg and increase spin

Just my 2 cents:

I think it will be hard to make the SIM any better than it already is. If I had to guess, TM will keep production of the SIM line until 2022 and this upcoming release will be a new line to sit next to the SIM line. Callaway has been doing it for years and I wouldn’t be surprised if TM follows suit. 
 

A few months ago, I was hearing "speedline" was going to be a thing again, so who knows. 
 

Adams Golf has been very active on IG lately... 

But I have no idea so take it with a grain of salt 

 

One thing I have been informed of: Taylormade is bringing back the Yes! (C Groove) putter lineup

I could see a SIM with different looks and sound, maybe that appeals to a few people who didnt like this SIM. Find a way to get rid of the “whistle”. Lol.

Is twist face going to stay?

[Trav1989]

The way everything sounds to me it will be a flagship model 

[Adamjoyce15]

Hard to imagine how it gets better than SIM, thing is an absolute cannon and sneaky forgiving for the spin numbers it's able to keep down as well.. it's the perfect combo

Bingo! I like where there heads are in the performance and design standpoint. I would not expect this new model to be light years ahead, so if you like your SIM it will not be outdated in 2021.

SIM made me a believer.  Fantastic in every way.

Oh man!  If TM brings back Adams - that would be amazing.  Lower priced, deeper faced low spin driver..  DO IT!!!!

[getitdaily]

I highly doubt they move away from SIM. I can see SIM gen 2 being what the '17 M line was to '16 M line. 

 

Inertia generator moves a touch deeper. SIM front track offers 2 weights. Slight change to the color scheme. 

 

It wouldn't surprise me if they moved away from injected face hardened goop stuff.

Be nice to see ADAMS revived, but didn’t they sell ADAMS??

They did not sell Adams.  Just moth-balled the name.

That’s right, I’ve got CRS😂😂. I’d love them to produce a GI/SGI iron WITHOUT the slots!

This is true. They do an ‘every other year evolution vs revolution’ cycle road map. 

The Sim is an evolution of the M5. Next release will be the Revolution of some new tech. 

Think iPhone. It’s not any different.
