Are sim hybrids longer just like the sim ti fairway woods are?

Curious...

Not for me. Was really disappointed. Not that the hybrids are bad, but there was this buildup with pros switching to them and this an that. They are good. I could game them, but really not longer than the Apex that I am using.

The main reason that the Ti fairways are hot is the titanium itself allowing for a potentially hotter face, and the lightweight of it allowing for, in the case of the SIM, a big chunk of steel to be added to the bottom to lower CG which raises launch and lowers spin, providing stronger potential launch conditions and more distance. The SIM Hybrids aren't titanium and i'm not sure if any effort was made to drop the CG super low, so I wouldn't really expect anything super different from them.

I have the 22* replacing my 4 iron and I dont think so no... I will say the ball speeds are faster but with the launch and extra spin its about 5 yards farther than my 4i total distance. But where it shines is its almost 10 yards further carry bc its higher trajectory and stopping power over a 4i

Why would you want them longer? Isn’t a hybrid supposed to cover a certain yardage like an iron?

depends on your bag makeup. Some people are looking for a max distance club to advance the ball.

For the 19 to play it as a 4-5 wood...

I ordered the Sim Hybrid last month and was super excited to play them--but it just didn't work out great for me. The feel was not good, and I ended up putting it away and went back to using my titleist 818 hybrid--doesn't go as long on the Skytrak, but has a much straighter and solid feel--and doesn't have a hook miss for me.

I hit a 22° SIM versus my 22° Ping G 410, and the Sim was definitely longer. However, it is not anti-left like they claim. My ping is much more neutral to fade biased because of the lie adjustment.

Going to piggy back off the post as i have some questions about the fairway woods. My current gamer is a 915f, and honestly its been great, and does everything i want. I have recently fell in love with a sim driver and gained 14 yards over my previous driver and its got me questioning if im missing out on similar gains with the 3 wood, not to mention a larger gap now. I hit the sim fairways today and left a little perplexed. Started with 15* sim ti and was getting about 155-158 ballspeed which is pretty good for me, but launching at 14 and spinning around 3500. Results were good but it didnt blow me away. Then picked up the non  Titanium max in the 14 degree “rocket” and whoa. First ball went like 280. Speed was similar, but launch came down to 10 and spinning at 2800. Id really like something in between these two. Im suprised the 14 “max” version was that low launch and spinning. I think my ideal number is 12-13 launch about 2800-3000 spin. Any suggestions?

Taylormade is the master of marketing, always keep that in mind.

 

How many pros still have that “pro approved” hybrid in the bag?
