TaylorMade SIM MAX Driver 10.5° MCA Tensei AV Limited Black 65 Graphite Stiff Left Handed 45.5in (D-42438190682)

Who’s It For?

TaylorMade has risen to the top of the ranks in the golf industry, especially when it comes to metalwoods. Every year the golf community waits in eager anticipation for what TaylorMade will do next with drivers and fairway woods. In 2020, TaylorMade has transitioned away from the M family and introduced the SIM series. SIM, which stands for Shape in Motion, features a revolutionary new shape with impressive aerodynamics designed to increase swing speed. The SIM Max driver features a large footprint and deeper center of gravity, which will work best for golfers seeking forgiveness, high launch, and added distance. The standard SIM driver is designed with a more compact shape and a sliding weight on the sole for golfers looking for lower spin and adjustability, while the SIM Max D-Type driver offers all the benefits of the SIM Max driver in a draw-biased package.

The Tech Story

The TaylorMade SIM family has been designed to help golfers increase their clubhead speed through aerodynamics. The sole features an Inertia Generator that has been strategically shaped and placed asymmetrically so that it matches the airflow created by a golf swing. This construction creates faster clubhead speed, which results in more ball speed and distance. The clubhead is also created with a multi-material construction that includes carbon, titanium, and steel. Through the use of these materials, TaylorMade was able to precisely position the center of gravity low to generate both high MOI and low spin. Returning from previous TaylorMade drivers are the Speed Injected and Twist Face technologies. Speed Injected technology involves an injection process of resin that allows the driver to be built over the legal speed limit before it is tuned back to conform. Twist Face technology consists of a slightly twisted clubface, particularly at the heel and toe areas, to overcome inherent tendencies on mis-hits and produce straighter ball flights. The SIM Max driver also features an adjustable loft sleeve that allows the golfer to optimize the club for trajectory and ball flight biases.
