For ClubTest 2021, we tested and reviewed 20 new hybrids to help you find the right one for your game. (For more on our testing process, click here.) Below are the results for the TaylorMade SIM2 hybrids. You can find the full list of hybrids and test results here.
Our take: TaylorMade’s original SIM Max rescue clubs of 2020 took the professional game by storm, finding their way into the bags of top golfers such as Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson — players who hadn’t used hybrids for most of their illustrious careers. Like those previous rescues, the new SIM2s continue to prove their value to better players by eliminating the left miss that deters some golfers from using hybrids in the first place. “I love the flight because I don’t have to worry about missing it left,” one of our testers said. “The small profile looks great too.”
The details: McIlroy and Johnson, both newfound hybrid users last season, provided their insights for the new compact SIM2 designs of 2021. With their help, TaylorMade engineered a new leading edge and sole geometry and used weight to implement more forgiveness without sacrificing iron-like workability. Given the success of SIM Max last year, TaylorMade has expanded this year’s hybrid lineup to include a SIM2 Rescue and a SIM2 Rescue Max. No excuses.
