Anyone Have An Idea of What TM’s Driver Plans Are for 2022?

[BCC1898]

I’d imagine SIM has run its course. Anyone heard what’s coming down the pipeline for TM?

[Valtiel]

Whether or not the "SIM" name continues, I doubt they are going to change the overall design concept too much right now. The loss of the weight track was discussed a lot with the SIM2, and they mentioned getting rid of it "for now", so i'd be willing to bet with Titleist and PING having made much more efficient weight track designs that we'll see a revamped version of "MWT" with a fancy sequel-y name on an otherwise slightly iterated on SIM-style platform. 

I have no insider info or anything, just reading between the lines, and with how crazy successful the SIM was i'd imagine it will continue on in some capacity.

SIM3. 
 

I have no problem with that. 

[Red4282]

Id imagine a bigger seperation between the regular and max versions. This years two versions were almost identical

I agree MWT has got to return. Big question is will it be up by the face like SIM or in the back like TSi3 or G425?

Everything is trending rearwards so I would guess back. I'd also guess multiple fixed locations like the PING/Titleist. The weight cost of making a track to allow for continuous weight placement is high, and there is little value in the perceived flexibility of placing the weight anywhere along a track. I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole forged aluminum ring to expand and allow multiple rear weight placement spots.

Clever 🙄.

It's going to be hard to beat this year's version (SIM2). I switched from a M3 and it barely got beat out by the SIM2. Always excited for new releases but once I find a driver that works it's is in the bag for a while.

SIM3 could be on the cards: https://www.golfgetup.com/2022-taylormade-driver-release-cycle/

A return to silver & black maybe?

[Drumdog]

SimSon ? And a bright yellow head ?

LOL - brighter colors add distance, like stickers on a race car.

 

I'd imagine we're not far away from sponsoring Thurs night leagues at this point

Post some Sim3 picts to wake up up then😁

[manxytag]

Sldr Sim 430

[elwhippy]

Something with genuine shafts instead of the "made for" junk they currently fit.

[boggyman]

They’ll just hopefully get caught up on the backlog of orders they’re catching up on now😳😂🤣😂🤣

Hear me out...we want the TP crest back! SIM TP !!!! or Sim 3 TP has a nice ring to it also.

The new Taylormade SIMP driver, cause mofos gonna drop 700 on it no matter if its better than their current driver or not.

TM should pull a fast one and totally bamboozle everyone by just NOT releasing a driver in 2022 and acting like nothing is weird about that.

Hopefully this. I hit both yesterday and honestly could not tell them apart at address or in performance if I didn’t look down at the bottom of the club. 

[jll62]

Seemed fairly obvious that the new way of constructing the head was laying the groundwork for the next revision or two. Expect evolutionary changes, not an entirely new driver head concept. The next driver having some sort of MWT being integrated feels like a logical expectation.

Yeah I think you could consider that the only thing "lacking" from the SIM line, not quite enough MOI/CG separation between models. PING spoiled us a bit there with the G400 MAX though, definitely raised the bar.

PXG dropped prices on older models and people make threads about how they think they are going out of business, imagine the storm if Taylormade didn't release a new driver, lol. 

[Richsgbox]

Head shape like Epic Speed and 0311XT??? Weight back and higher on the crown. Seems to be a trend in the making.

You missed the other threads.

pretty sure you guys are going to do a sim 3. It will be the best of the last 3 years. You will put back in the weight system. Sound about right?

[cgasucks]

The earliest you can see new TM Drivers coming out is when the USGA announces that their 2022 drivers are USGA legal in the months to come.   The OEMs have to submit it to them months before their official retail date.

The first gen had a pretty decent seperation. Another thing i wonder is how successful the “my sim” thing was. Will they keep it? I still like the idea, but not the upcharge for it. 

[QuigleyDU]

I think SIM goes away for something new..
