Taylormade SIM2 Driver Review
This is Golfer Geeks' review of the Taylormade SIM2 Driver.
I'm an avid golfer, a 9.2 handicap on my way to a 2 (been a 5.6) and frequent tester of golf clubs and equipment since 2015.
I tested the SIM2 driver during two range sessions and tracked most shots with my Swing Caddie SC300.
Summary: The SIM2 driver is as long and forgiving as you would expect or have heard. I hit a ton of good shots and I'm not a particularly good driver. I recommend it and I thinks it's playable by any golfer out there. It's less expensive now that the Stealth is out.

In this Taylormade SIM2 driver review, I discuss my experience with the clubs, unique features and benefits, as well as customer reviews and potential alternatives.
Taylormade SIM2 driver Overview
The SIM2 is a legitimate upgrade over the SIM driver with an improved inertia generator, a hotter face, and more forgiveness.
Why Consider the SIM2 driver
The SIM2 driver is a stellar performer and is now on sale everywhere. I'm a bargain hunter and the SIM2 is still expensive, but less expensive now, and worth a look if you need an upgrade.
Features & Benefits
1) Forged Ring Construction
Lightweight high-strength aluminum ring forms the frame the carbon sole and crown attach to and increases stability and forgiveness allows the
2) SIM Inertia Generator
Means faster clubhead speed through advanced geometry and aerodynamics.
3) Speed Injected Twist Face
Allows the SIM2 to push ball speeds to the legal limit
4) Thru-Slot Speed Pocket
Maximizes ball speed and produces more forgiveness on contact lower on the face
5) Split Mass Weighting
16 gram steel TPS weight positioned at the rear of the sole provides enhanced forgiveness and spin, allowing for precise target swing weights during assembly.
Testing the Taylormade SIM2 driver
My method of testing: I hit approximately 80-100 balls over the course of two days on the range at my course. My swing was on and I had a ball.
My Experience with the Taylormade SIM2 driver
I hadn't swung a full length driver in many many years. I've been cutting the shaft of my drivers down to 44.25 inches or so for added control for at least 10 years. The SIM 2 is 45.75 inches.
However, I have been working on my driver swing for about a month and I've gotten considerably more comfortable in my driver setup and swing. So, I had semi-high hopes.
Well, I hit the SIM2 very well (for me). I kept it in play and I hit it long... repeatedly. I loved this thing from the first swing. I hit many drives that carried 250 to 265 yds. Flight was medium-high and mostly straight. I mixed in a few baby draws and fades.
It wasn't all wine and roses, though. I managed to put a few terrible swing on it and got justifiably punished. But, it takes a pretty bad swing to mess up with the Taylormade SIM2 driver.

The Stealth is an upgrade, but I didn't find big differences in performance. If you've got the budget, give the Stealth a shot. I loved it.
Our Verdict
I would buy the Taylormade SIM2 driver in a heartbeat if I was in the market. ESPECIALLY since the price has dropped and you'll see more and more deals since the Stealth came out.
