TM SIM vs SIM2 3-woods


LBRMGR

Recommended Posts

I'll preface by saying I am a huge 3-wood guy...often hit my 3-wood far more frequently than my driver. 

 

I had the R15 15 degree -> M1 15 degree -> SIM Ti

 

The SIM head always seemed aesthetically too long at address to me, and while it was probably between my ears, I never got comfortable with it last year.

 

I hit about 10 of the SIM2 15 degrees over the weekend and was immediately converted...10cc smaller head was a huge noticeable difference to me, and I just nuked this club with my Diamana 75.

 

Anyone else have this experience?

i'll say -- the sim2 felt a touch better as Jallen said but -- the numbers to me couldn't justify paying the extra. i hit them side by side with my tried/true gamer shaft; ended up going with the OG SiM rocket Ti 3w.

I actually liked the look of the original SIM Ti more; but I prefer the slightly easier launch of the SIM2 more.  It’s a bit easier to launch with the weight more rearward.  Not night and day, but appreciable.

Have both (my SIM head is a tour head) and I prefer the SIM2 as well. Feels better and is smaller than last years, albeit my favorite fairway wood was the smaller 2017 M2 Tour so I have a preference for smaller headed fairway metals (and this is as close as Taylormade has gotten to that since).

that 2017 m2 tour head was really, really good. (reason that koepka still has one in his bag from time to time)

Couldn’t agree more. It is the one club I will never sell. I have it in the T3 and it goes too far gapping wise, and that’s the only reason I’ve been trying to replace it for awhile. I built it when I wasn’t hitting driver well as a second tee club.

I have the 19* Sim TI and find it a little low slung and flatter looking. I use my fairway probably more off the tee than the deck so I'd like it a tad taller. Finally saw the Sim2 TI this weekend and really liked the look of it. A little more compact and with a taller face, looked like it would be great off the tee or the fairway. Looking forward to getting a chance to try it at some point.

Yeah I had zero data behind my feeling between the 2, but it definitely felt like it launched better.  But the compact head was a nice feel/look
