There are three new driver models in the 2020 SIM family, so here's a quick rundown as to what each one is all about: Now it's all about focusing on aerodynamics rather than ball speed and forgiveness. These technologies have proven to be very successful and the fact that TaylorMade have stuck with them even under a new brand name shows just how much they believe in them. Twist face, Speed Injection, Speed Pocket and Inverted Cone Technology all feature in the new SIM driver heads. This idea was conceived in order to reduce drag on a players down swing as it is said to match the arc in a golfers swing based on where the club head is positioned during the final third of the golf swing.Īfter that, a lot of technology from the last iteration in the M family remains. It sits at a 20 degree angle on the sole of the head. TaylorMade's Inertia Generator looks a little different to similar technologies we have seen in the past however. We've seen this kind of technology before in the drivers like the Cobra F9 Speedback, however the interesting thing here is not what it is, but where it is. The new redesigned Inertia Generator places weight at the extreme low-and-back portion of the club head for enhanced forgiveness. This is a new revolutionary asymmetric sole shape to reduce drag at the most critical part of the swing and improve aerodynamics for more club head speed. Introducing TaylorMade's latest innovation - the Inertia Generator. With their new shaped head they can move the weight further back and claim to increase club head speed due to less drag. With SIM, TaylorMade suggests the club head needs to also go under a similar kind of redesign in order to for the golfers to generate more speed. You only have to look at cycling to see how the design of bikes has evolved in order to maximise the speed a cyclist can generate. The reason for this is TaylorMade thinks club head technology is reaching its maximum in terms of generating more ball speed in line with legal limits, so in order to provide golfers with a club that can allow them to make further improvements without changing the head, they have focused their research on making the head shape more aerodynamic. Like many of us, you may have assumed that TaylorMade would progress naturally onto M7 and M8 models, but they have changed their whole collection after 4 years of hard work since the unveiling of the M1 driver. Huge success at the hands of their big money signings like Tiger, Rory and Rahm have also given their drivers some serious tour validation, earning them probably more respect within the golf industry than ever before.įast forward to 2020, and we find out what the outcome of all this success is - TaylorMade SIM, which stands for 'Shape in Motion'. TaylorMade drivers have become very popular amongst the world's best players in recent years.
