Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks87
- Feel86
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a better ball-striker who wants a compact, workable, adjustable hybrid you can flight down and shape.
You want maximum forgiveness, an easy high launch, or the most carry — the SIM2 Max fits far better.
Pros
- Genuine shot-shaping from a compact, iron-like head
- An adjustable hosel for loft and face angle
- A lovely, solid players' feel with precise feedback
Cons
- The least forgiving of the SIM2 rescues — demands a strike
- A little shorter than the Max, on a lower flight
- A 2021 club now behind the latest for speed
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidThe players' price — a compact, narrow head wants a middled hit, but a sole slot lifts a low, weak strike.
Distance
StrongA touch behind the Max — a flatter, lower flight gives up some carry, though a slot at the sole keeps low strikes going.
Workability
FairA shot-shaper's hybrid — a compact, iron-like head and the adjustable hosel let a good player flight and bend it at will.
Feel
ExcellentA players' strength — a solid, iron-like strike that reports exactly where you caught it on the face.
Sound
ExcellentQuiet and understated at impact — a low, contained note that suits the compact, better-player shape.
Looks at address
ExcellentA gorgeous, compact players' head — narrow heel-to-toe with an iron-like face a good ball-striker will love.
