Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!

I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.

I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!

On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.

If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

I’ve been saying this for a while now. I think the SIM2 is the best driver since the M2! Thanks Rick, now everyone is going to buy up all the still new SIM2 drivers and selling them online at a marked up price.

[SettleBogey]

absolutely love this testing format. Comparing the new to a couple years old. I hope it continues for all new drivers and iron sets For those of us on a budget this really helps! Thanks Rick

Qi10 is for people that need the newest equipment to shoot an 85. The Sim 2 is for people that drink 10 beers, smoke 2 cigars and shoot an 85

I played with a Taylor Made rental set a few years ago, which included a SIM2 Max Driver. To this day, it is one of the best drivers I have ever hit. I love that you made this video, because to be honest, the latest drivers are pricing a lot of people out of the market, which is unfortunate. However, it is increasingly evident that the purported "gains" may not actually not be worth the extra money for non professional golfers anyway...

Taylormade marketing department waking up Sunday morning in a panic😂

[jeremyhodgins]

I recently just bought the Sim2 Max and love it! It’s a great driver at a great price!

[harrilegg-edwards]

OMG! Amazing results, as I currently have the Sim 2 Max in the bag now and will keep that for much longer now! Nice to have you back! Love the reviews!

[mulvihillmatt]

The SIM2 Max would more realistically match up with the regular Qi10 instead of the Max though.

[robp.]

Sim 2 Max is designed to be closer to the core Qi10 head than the Qi10 Max head. As you mentioned, the Qi10 Max head is really designed for maximum forgiveness and is not a distance oriented design. It would be interesting to see you test Sim 2 Max vs. Qi10 core for a better comparison. I do think Sim 2 is one of the best drivers ever produced by TaylorMade and certainly the better deal on the market right now.

I've had a SIM2 Max since it came out and I've now got this video bookmarked for every time I get the itch to replace it :D

[GarethFoley]

I had a similar experience with my Sim 2 Max a few weeks ago. I tried the Qi10 because I've been struggling with missing left with my driver. Initially I liked the performance of the Qi10 until my fitter swapped the shaft from the Qi10 into my Sim 2 Max. Misses left eliminated and about 5-7 extra yards of carry with my 3 year old driver. My fitter let me do the shaft swap for free since I was buying two new wedges that I was fitted for they day. New isn't always better.

[KatzTube]

This is the content I have been waiting for. Speaking as someone who does not buy new equipment because the cost is outrageous these days. Seeing older clubs match up against the newer clubs is great education.

[BS-jrbf]

So I bought the SIM 2 max 2nd hand a month ago and love it. It’s way more forgiving than my TaylorMade RBZ and slightly longer, but the RBZ is around 10 years older. I’m so glad to hear the SIM2 max holds its own against the Qi10 as I felt super guilty on scrooging out on the old model. Thanks heaps for helping to justify my tight arse decision Rick! TaylorMade released a video with Scottie, Rory, Collin, Tommy etc. where they talked up the Qi10 saying how it was now most forgiving driver they had released - but they also showed a graph that indicated the SIM2 Max and M4 were sitting at 8700 MOI vs the Stealth at 8200 MOI vs Qi10 at 1000 MOI. Perhaps that MOI margin between the SIM2 Max and Qi10 is negligible when you switch the shaft to the Qi10 shaft, as Rick did. Great content as always RS 🎉

[Ironhide]

It’s because of you I got the Sim2 Max. And with the money I saved, I used my savings to buy the Brnr Mini Driver as well. Great call Rick!

[CarsWithCory]

Straight forward review. Honest opinion. And finally someone who uses the same shaft in a comparison!! Thank you

[rogeriomachado]

Amazing video! The unbiased comparison that we love to see, showcasing the latest models versus the “old” ones and helping us to get more for our pennies. Keep doing it, Rick!

I have a TaylorMade M3 that is a 430cc model. It has been hot melted at some point before I owned it. It is 11g heavier than other M3 heads I have weighed and actually has a left to right ball flight when the weights are neutral. This club head hit as far or farther than anything I have tried. Regardless of brand or how new it is. I have a new Krank Fire- I had a G425LST- I have tried a Sim Max. Every new driver that comes out- I go try it at Golf Galaxy near me. None are measurably better than my M3.

[rufussthoo]

Thanks Rick. This is an important expose for the majority of golfers, who still buy off-the-shelf. I'd love to see you do something similar with each of the major brands, provided the price benefit was there.

[bugsyboy]

Just purchased the Sim2 Max after having played my Callaway Diablo Octane driver for the last 10+ years. I’m just blown away at how tight the dispersion is on the Sim2 Max even on off-center hits. I’ve gained at least 10/15 yards and the sound is just so sweet!! An amazing driver!!!

[hjm]

Great review Rick!!! I have had 2 SIM2 drivers, when I started playing i bought a 12 degree one and this year I changed for a 9 degree SIM2 as well. Love it!!!❤
