TaylorMade SIM2 Max D

Reviewer testing: the head is a slicer's dream, with a larger footprint that provides ultimate forgiveness and draw bias. A slightly larger head making it the most forgiving and easiest launching fairway wood of the bunch. The 195cc head is the largest of the line — bigger than the 190cc Max sibling. Manufacturer: a strategically placed heel weight works in conjunction with the V Steel sole to encourage a right-to-left ball flight without sacrificing forgiveness. Multi-material build carries over from the Max sibling. Top-tier max-forgiveness for the slicer category — the largest, easiest-to-hit head in the 2021 line.

Manufacturer: multi-material construction and efficient weight distribution on the sole of the club deliver an ultra-low CG for explosive distance, high launch and moderate spin. C300 Steel face + Thru-Slot Speed Pocket = explosive ball speed. Lightweight stock shaft helps slow swingers generate speed. However, the draw-bias architecture and heel weighting trade peak distance for slice correction. Above-average distance for the slicer/high-HCP target user — distance gain through straighter flight, not peak ball speed.

Reviewer testing: players experiencing more misses to the left as a right-handed golfer, though the head wanting to roll shut through impact was never an invitation for hooks. Manufacturer: the head is designed for a draw — heel weighting encourages a right-to-left ball flight. The pronounced draw bias actively imposes a shape — fade is functionally unavailable. Below-average workability — slice-correcting heel-CG actively prevents intentional shape-shifting in either direction.

Carries over the line architecture — multi-material build (carbon crown + titanium body + steel sole plate) refines impact tactile signature vs the prior generation. Reviewer coverage of the standard Max sibling noted off-center strikes felt better than the previous model — same architecture applies. Larger 195cc head with easier-to-square geometry produces frequent center contact. Above-average feel for a 2021 game-improvement fairway — multi-material refinements + easier centeredness.

Per reviewer coverage of the line: the sound of the draw-bias sibling is a bit more clicky than the standard Max. Same C300 steel face produces a similar snap/click acoustic to the standard sibling but with a slightly higher-pitched tone. Mid-tier acoustic — line acoustic with the slightly more clicky character of the draw-bias sibling specifically.

Reviewer testing: 195cc which is the largest among the three SIM2 fairway woods, and it's slightly more round in shape. Manufacturer: black carbon crowns with contrasting chalk toplines to frame the golf ball for alignment. Larger oversized round head can look bigger than skilled players prefer but is confidence-inspiring for high-HCP / slice-prone golfers. Average address profile — game-improvement footprint with line-wide carbon crown styling.
