In our forums, our members have been discussing the 2020 TaylorMade SIM driver. WRXer ‘getitdaily’ kicked off the thread asking fellow members: “What’s your SIM setup? Head, shaft, loft, weight config? How’s the driver playing for you?”
‘Getitdaily’ gives us his setup and feedback…
“SIM 9.0 in standard loft, upright lie. I added a 4g weight to the front track to get swing weight up. Rogue silver 125msi X at 45”.
Took me a while to get it dialed in. Launch monitor showed a pull or draw bias, so I setup the sim to be fade biased. Was great except a few drives would get lost right in the next county. Put the 10g in the heel and 4g in the center and moved to the upright setting and it’s been phenomenal ever since.”
…and our members have been doing the same in our forums.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- bigeasy: “I am playing the sim in 10 degrees with weight between center and the draw setting. I have the stock Diamana and a GDADDI 6 and a friends 7, One thing I have found out is that I cant tee it up like I did the M3. So far I am hitting the stock shaft better than both Graphite Designs, but I am getting more roll with all three than I was with the M3, testing will continue.”
- MerryTex: “I’ve been playing it a little over a month now, and I am loving this driver. I’ve not been a big TM guy, but this thing has me believing. I started to tweak the settings when I was hitting it at my local store and found that playing it at 10.5 with the weight a little bit towards the fade position works great. I can move it both ways, and I’m actually confident in doing so now. I had my highest fairway percentage of the year yesterday with 86% hit. I was keeping up with two collegiate golfers, so it felt good. I’m playing it in the stock Diamana shaft in the x flex, and I feel it almost plays like a Blueboard or AD DI. It’s very smooth IMHO and provides me with optimal spin and launch numbers. One thing I like is that in the wind it plays great as well. I don’t have to tee it super low to flight it. Somehow this driver just allows me to tee it normally on almost every drive I hit. I have messed with teeing it lower, but I found it added a bit more spin than I like compared to the normal tee height. I’ve also cut mine down to play 45 in. I’m now tempted to play the SIM fairway since I’m having so much success with the driver.”
- tyusg: “I play a 9.0 STD w/ The Tensei CK Pro White 60 TX. So far it’s been really good, although my combination might be too low of spin. Bought a Kuro Kage Silver TINI as a backup if I do need a little more spin to keep it in the air. Ball speeds on mishits do seem to maintain most of the speed, and the sound has definitely been something to get used to from my M3.”
- QuigleyDU: “My SIM is a 10.5 set to 9.5 with a KBS TD cat 5 shaft. I was absolutely crushing this before the shutdown. I hope it comes back. I love the shape and color of the head. It is a bit harsher feeling in my mind than other offerings, but I am ok with that.”
- Jnardelean: “I was fitted for Sim 9* turned to 8.25* with weight in the heel and hosel in upright setting. Shaft is the Atmos Tour Black 60TX. I picked up 8-10mph ball speed from 162 to 172-175ish. Was not striking it well during fitting, but the ones I hit well were way better than my M5. The spin dropped from 3500 to about 2200.”
