Rad Speed XB vs SIM 2

mvhoffman · September 19, 2023

Can anyone that has compared both give me some insight? Currently have the SIM2 Max D and looking to replace with a non draw biased driver.

I'm a fanboy of the XB just due to what I've seen it do on mis strikes. Out of the middle it's the best feeling / sounding driver I've ever swung

I gave a sim2 a shot for about a month when they came out and wasn't a fan of the fairly noticeable fade bias.

Xb would be closer to the max version of the sim2.

I've played standard Radspeed and og Sim.

Found the radspeed very firm off the face compared to sim.

Was also much worse on high toe strikes, which is my main miss.

Agreed with above. The XB is comparable to the Max and the regular Radspeed is comparable to SIM2.

I have played both the SIM2 Max and the Radspeed XB. I don’t think either is overly draw biased. Like most drivers these days, I think they are pretty comparable in length and dispersion with a shaft that works for you. I got along with the XB a little better than the Max, but it wasn’t the one so it only stayed in the bag about half a season. Did hit a few drives that were very long for me with that club though as I recall.

Pick one that looks good to your eye with a solid shaft and give it a try. Both should be able to be had at a reasonable price.

A bit off topic, but how would you compare the XB to the Aerojet you have now? Have the XB as a backup and AJ LS in the bag right now. Assuming the standard Aerojet would sit somewhere between the two.

XB and the standard Aerojet are pretty similar to me. Aerojet is definitely more accurate on miss hits. I think the XB sounds better but the standard Aerojet sounds 1000 times better than the LS head I played for the majority of the summer. The standard Aerojet head is the best head I’ve swung in probably 3 years. I’ve hit damn near everything out trying to replace an M3 head that’s old faithful and nothing did it until the LTDX LS last year and the AerojetLS / Aerojet this year. I just preferred the aerojets look and feel over the LTDX LS is the only reason I changed from it.
