weight hammered into the heel is really interesting, as is the shape overall pushing downward instead of straight forward on the face.Fresh off a hot year on tour with the Sim driver, the TaylorMade SIM2 is coming and today it hit the USGA conforming list in two different models. The SIM2 and SIM2 Max both appear and while the draw model is not present, that is not indicative that it will not be included.
Sequel name not withstanding, we expect plenty of buzz surrounding the new offering and have heard that the release date will be in Q1 of 2021.Stay tuned for more information as it comes on TaylorMade SIM2 drivers.

I mean the overall shape isnt all that different that SIM.....no? However they obviously figured out a way to eiminate some weight by making the sole almost entirely carbon....weight hammered into the heel is really interesting, as is the shape overall pushing downward instead of straight forward on the face.
Very curious to read the tech logic.
What are peoples thoughts on repeating a name?
Do you like the consistency?
Think it suggests not much has changed?
Don't care?
yeah you're probably right - weird angles being weird angles I guess.I mean the overall shape isnt all that different that SIM.....no? However they obviously figured out a way to eiminate some weight by making the sole almost entirely carbon....
Callaway has done it. Not necessarily year/ year......but theyve certainly brought back new versions of previous names. Great Big Bertha....Big Bertha.....etc. I dont see an issue in my opinion.What are peoples thoughts on repeating a name?

Does Epic count? I know they brought it back as Flash after Rogue but it wasn't back to back.I think consistency on a good selling product is good. Epic comes to mind.
I think repeating the name year over year and bringing back older names are two different conversations.Callaway has done it. Not necessarily year/ year......but theyve certainly brought back new versions of previous names. Great Big Bertha....Big Bertha.....etc. I dont see an issue in my opinion.
To be fair i dont know how i feel about an entirely carbon sole.....but i never paid it any attention in the normal SIM so i can\t imagine its somethingthat s going t affect anything other than aesthetics.....maybe sound? Gotta imagine more carbon means even more muted sound.yeah you're probably right - weird angles being weird angles I guess.
Carbon soles terrify me.
As an update to something they already have, sure. Think of car manufactures doing the same to a model. Keep it what it is, but improve on it. I think they could have kept the "M" line going instead of switching to the SIM name, but I get it. Callaway did it for years with the Big Bertha stuff, and that name still continues.What are peoples thoughts on repeating a name?

so if they released a new driver this year and called it something totally different and the came back with SIM2 in two years thats different? hmmI think repeating the name year over year and bringing back older names are two different conversations.

If we're talking about examples that are relevant to my question, yeahso if they released a new driver this year and called it something totally different and the came back with SIM2 in two years thats different? hmm

Makes me think back to their "R" years. R7, R9, R11 etc.Good question.
Adding a number has been a norm in the tech world with phones, game consoles, and such.
I probably wouldn't like it if they kept going with a 3, 4, 5, etc. But, I guess a 2 is ok. However, I generally don't buy each year. I am more of every two years to purchase drivers person. If the Driver said Sim3, I am not sure I would think the technology upgrade is worth the purchase. To me, the 2 is sorta an improvement over full upgrade as to how I take the name. That is without know all the details, just hearing the name.
Does Epic count? I know they brought it back as Flash after Rogue but it wasn't back to back.
I'm more concerned with durability than anything else, but I am sure their R&D did some extensive testing on a full sole of carbon and found it to be highly durable. The material being used in golf is so impressive now, maybe it's a non-issue.To be fair i dont know how i feel about an entirely carbon sole.....but i never paid it any attention in the normal SIM so i can\t imagine its somethingthat s going t affect anything other than aesthetics.....maybe sound?

I see where you're coming from. My question was more directly on the back to back, but like we've chatted about a bit, obviously names as a whole are used continuously by companies. Was just curious.Epic, Epic, Flash, Epic Speed.. Little different from SIM, SIM2. But they are banking on the epic name. They always have the same colorway as well. It is just every other year. As Callaway has done for a long time. 2 sperate lines every other year.
I cringe at a full carbon/composite sole. I treat my clubs well, but I have dropped my drivers sole on the ground at the range and it hurts. Or bloke a drive and use the sole to hammer my tee into the ground (I don't do this but have seen others do it) would scare the crap out of me.I'm more concerned with durability than anything else, but I am sure their R&D did some extensive testing on a full sole of carbon and found it to be highly durable.

No adjustable weights on any SIM2 versions.
I know that you're supposed to hit up on the driver, but I'd bet a pretty solid percentage of golfers don't, meaning there will be lots of turf interaction. I can't even imagine slamming a tee into the ground with one hahaI cringe at a full carbon/composite sole.
