Best Taylormade Driver Head Ever

[Walk-it-in]

The M2 seemed like a game changer at its release, but I think the SIM built on that success and the refined product ended up the best option thus far.

Trying not to be that guy, but it's literally in the op.

 

As a TaylorMade guy, I could probably put all 3 of the ones I've owned in the list lol. Sentimental favorite would be the r7 superquad as it's the first driver I was fit into. Then the r1, while not the prettiest (and mine was Beat Up when I got it) I hit some bombs (for me) with it, but it could get a little squirrelly. Now I have the SIM MAX D and while I haven't hit my longest drive ever with it, it's statistically longer than the r11s because the misses generally aren't as bad, I'm really considering getting the lower lofted head to try and chase some distance, but it would probably be a superfluous purchase.

 

Edit- just found out what I thought was an r11s is actually an r1.

For me R7 Quad in 10.5 was very nice.I also had the Hi Core one that was also a 90% fairway finder!

all anti left, all hit absolute NUKES

Yes and yes, these 3 are all fantastic, currently playing SIM and am seeing places only the SLDR put me, just now seeing them much more regularly 

[03trdblack]

Best is so hard because I feel most choices would have been "best" during that era.  The TM 300 for example wouldn't hold a candle to more modern choices, etc.

 

That being said, if someone came in with a properly fitted Burner Superfast TP driver, it wasn't getting beat by much of anything.

I have a R7 Draw 10.5 driver. Last year I bought a M2 5-wood and absolutely love it. Question. If a M2 10.5 driver and my R7 driver were both robot tested, would the M2 be longer? If yes, by how much?

I have seen some video comparisons, and it seems that they are not that much longer maybe 10 yards. The big difference is in the misses, they go way farther and straighter

[HenryReardon]

For me, it’s the M4. Still my current gamer and numbers wise on trackman the stealth doesn’t beat it. I rely alot on the looks, and from what I understand the M4 sits way more open than most stock drivers. 

[gmayo11]

Current gamer is the SIM2 and I love it, but the past love I can't get out of my head is my R7 Superquad TP.  That was the first driver I owned where I felt like I had an advantage over anyone I played with.

[Bye]

I still think the SLDR is the best sounding driver they have ever made. It still makes me shudder thinking about some of the misses it produced though. 

 

Sim 2 gets my vote, best looking club I have ever owned.

2007 burner TP for me. Second favorite was M1 2017 and third R5 dual TP

Thank you.

Historic:

1. Tour preferred series 80's

2. 300 tour 360cc DF

 

 

Performance:

Stealth plus

 

 

 

[pingfool]

I’ve hit ‘em all since Gary’s first in ‘79.  They had a great run and seemed to be ahead of the competition (except Big Bertha) performance wise until the COR rules kicked in. 
I always liked the next one so can’t say 300 was better than 540xd or 425 super quad tp (holy grail) Burner TP (snedeker) 

I could keep going.

M2 is a backup now

SLDR 430 is a keeper

 

Ping G400 feels as good as any did.

R510 Deep Face Prototype 

[Lord Helmet]

Original RBZ was a good one for me.  Matrix Rul shaft

M5 was next for me, Speeder 6.1

Sim Max, Ventus Blue TR 

 

Tried the stealth (non plus) and it gave me no appreciable difference to the Sim Max.

[BladedWedgeShots]

Best? Probably Stealth+ in terms of performance

Favorite? Burner Superfast 2.0... obnoxiously loud and an absolute rocket launcher

[bcflyguy1]

Older School: 510 TP, with the ion plated Speeder 757, the classic TP logo, the "Look what I've got!" headcover
Middler School: R9 Super Tri, amazing combo of length, playability, ease of use. Rounder, more conventional shaping than the Burner heads of that time.
Newer School: '16 M2, need say nothing more

[ahenderX]

Does the 2016 M2 driver look square at address? I was looking at various drivers at Dick’s the other day and most do not look square at address. They flop to the right when placed down. I’m sure there’s a reason for this but it’s not something I like.

[nitram]

1. R510TP

2. SLDR 430

 

The '16 M2 is/was a fantastic head but never quite surpassed my SLDR 430.
