Max Game Improvement ドライバー

The SIM2 Max D is the slice-fighter in TaylorMade's 2021 driver family. That D on the sole stands for draw, and it tells you exactly who this club is built for: golfers who watch too many tee shots leak right and want the club to help fix it. Weight sits toward the heel, which makes the 460cc face easier to square through impact and nudges your misses back toward the fairway.

Everything else carries over from the SIM2 Max. You get the full-size head, a high launch profile, and enough forgiveness to keep off-center hits playable. This is not a driver that rewards you for working the ball both directions. It has one job, and it does that job well: turn a slice into something closer to straight, or straight into a gentle draw.

If you already hit a draw or a hook, look elsewhere, because the built-in bias will overcook your shots. For the large number of amateurs fighting a slice, though, the SIM2 Max D is one of the more effective off-the-rack answers from this era.

• Slicers who want the driver itself to help square the face and straighten out tee shots
• Moderate and slower swing speeds that need help launching the ball high with plenty of carry
• Higher handicappers who value forgiveness and a straighter miss over the ability to shape shots both ways

よくある質問

What does the D in SIM2 Max D stand for?

Draw. The D model positions internal weight toward the heel to help close the face at impact, which fights a slice and promotes a right-to-left ball flight for right-handed golfers.

What's the difference between the SIM2 Max and the SIM2 Max D?

Both share the same 460cc forgiving head, but the Max D shifts weight to the heel for a draw bias and drops the movable weight track. The standard Max is more neutral and lets you slide weight to tune ball flight. Pick the D if you slice, the Max if your misses go both ways or left.

Is the SIM2 Max D good for high handicappers?

Yes. The large head, high launch, and big forgiving face make it one of the friendlier drivers of its year for higher handicappers, especially those whose main problem is a slice.

Can I adjust the loft on the SIM2 Max D?

Yes. The adjustable loft sleeve moves up or down two degrees from the stated loft, so you can raise or lower launch and spin. It has no sliding weight, though, so you can't dial back the draw bias.

Will the SIM2 Max D help if I already hit a draw?

Probably not in a good way. The heel weighting adds right-to-left bias, so if you already turn the ball over, this driver can tip you into hooks. A player who draws or hooks the ball is better off with the neutral SIM2 or SIM2 Max.
