Get Your Golf Game Into Peak Shape With The TaylorMade SIM
Posted by Austin Chen on 03 Feb 2020
TaylorMade Golf made waves in 2019 with their speed injected Twist Face technology. They were determined to increase distance any way possible for 2020. At the end of the day, shape won which led to the design of the TaylorMade SIM drivers. The most critical feature of the SIM driver series is the Inertia Generator and the asymmetric sole design. They work in unison to form the new shape that makes SIM a feat of geometric engineering.
SIM stands for Shape In Motion. In aerodynamic testing during the prototype phase, our TaylorMade discovered that for all the positives of the Inertia Generator, it actually hindered airflow across the bottom of the club during the most critical phase of the downswing – the three feet prior to impact, also known as the speed generation zone. What was the fix? The answer was simply rotating the Inertia Generator to match the direction of airflow at this pivotal moment.

The larger face makes it even more forgiving for golfers thanks to more area to work with at impact.
There is a SIM Max draw model that promotes even more of a draw biased ball flight. It is also the highest launching and highest spinning driver in the family.
