I went from Epic Max to Mizuno ST-Z big mistake lost a ton of distance. Now I have the Sim2 and mu confidence is back and the distance is definitely something. Thanks for all your great reviews. Played Daytona Beach North course today.

Very cool comparison…Very impressed you were able to put a good swing on two different drivers back to back each time! I find I need a few swings between drivers to get used to a new driver, especially if they are dramatically different, like a SIM2 (which I currently play), and the Callaway Epic…nicely done. I also love your displeasure at not getting your wedge inside 10 feet from 80 yards out! LOL…I think tour average from that distance is like 20 feet…

Great video to test on course! What is keep in perspective: it took a draw shot with the Epic to edge out a fade shot with the Sim2, and you yourself said you felt you put a better swing on the Epic on the 5th shot and the Sim2 still beat it. Using on course experience is really helpful so long as perspective is used. On the similar shaped shots, the Sim2 was much better like you saw on the simulator. Again, great video!!!

felt weird not hearing the music at the end lol. Glad the Sim2 was the winner for ya! On hole 2 though wouldn't it make more sense to measure distance back to the tee to know which one went farther? the angle of the green from where they lay I don't think tells the story properly. Awesome video though and very pure review. another top notch episode

I would have buyer's remorse if I paid over $500 for very little difference. I'm going to Golf Tec soon to compare my XR16 to a Mizuno. When it comes time to pony up I'll see how much improvement I get and if I'm willing to pay $400 for it. My initial thoughts are if I don't get close to 10 yards and tighter dispersion I'll stick with what I've got.

He said you are the only person he's played with that can get the ball to back spin around the greens! Credit where credits due. Anyways, I've been looking to get the SIM 2 driver and this video has really helped me as my dad has the Epic and I enjoy hitting that from time to time. But the SIM appears to have a slight edge, decision made I think. Thanks for the video, keep it up! Cheers, Jonny

Great Video!! I tested the SIM 2 against the STX last week and preferred the STX, but it was very close. I am a shorter hitter that tends to miss right and the distance on the SIM may have been a touch longer, but the STZ was more forgiving and I liked the ball flight better. And Carrolwood is a great looking course. I get down to your area a few times a year so I have played a few courses around there and Carrollwood looks to be better than most of the ones I have played.
@LetsPlayThru
@LetsPlayThru 3 жыл бұрын
Yes if you’re missing right I think the STX is the right choice. And yes, they are so very close. Just depends on what you feel more confident swinging and if you need those few extra yards or if consistency is more important.

a bit late to the party but I got a Sim 2 in 10.5 with a ventus blue R shaft . It was that or the stealth. I opted for the Sim 2 because I think it’s dispersion is better for me , I am a 19 handicapper with a ball speed of 135 so I need a lower spinning head to get extra length and less spin on my poorer shots . Time will tell it worked well on the range. Thanks for the video.

When I took the Stealth out I had a number of straight left shots because the face must have been set too closed . The Sim2 seems much more consistent because it’s easy to see the face angle 📐. Anyway see how it goes . Thanks for all your help.

Driver all comes down to personal choice. Its such a minimal difference, sure you may get a few more yards, but is it really dropping strokes? Really comes down to how you feel when you pull the club from the bag. Confidence and excitement for a new club can make it all worth it. Hard to have buyers remorse when a club makes you wanna play golf. Plus you'll get some decent money back when you sell your epic

I had the original Epic too, loved it, but replaced it last year with a Sim Max for 2 reasons. 1) less spin and more run out with roughly the same carry, and 2) the Sim had noticeably less shock on miss hits. I'm 65 with 105+ swing speed and anything to reduce shock in the old joints has high value:) Have you noticed any shock differences between your Epic and the Sim2? I'm wondering if I'm getting delusional in my advancing years or the carbon in the Sim head is paying dividends:) I very much enjoy your videos and recently purchased a new set of Ping 425 irons based in large part on your 2021 iron comparison video!

With a 5 handicap, you better hit it pretty well, not perfect, but pretty good most of the time. Even the pros aren’t perfect. 😉 It may be best for the average golfer to get the Sim 2 Max driver for a bit more forgiveness. To me, if fit properly, most drivers these days with all the rules around them are about the same distance but feel and forgiveness can be quite different.

@@LetsPlayThru thank you. Great help, maybe I’m wrong or looking for any impossible. My ss is 100 and my ball speed is 140. Carry distance is 235-240. 14 launch angle, 2500 spin I have tsi 3 9 degree with smoke rdx 60g stiff. Standard setting . Trying to get more carry distance and someone told me try sim 2 with smoke rdx and up the loft 10.5. For promote more launch and less spin.

Surely the 390 hole where you hit them in the trees wasn't sensible comparison. I would imagine to be 30 yards different the Epic hit a tree
@LetsPlayThru
@LetsPlayThru 3 жыл бұрын
Honestly, I would consider that the most telling test of all. It might not be completely apparent from the shot tracer, but the SIM2 flew at least 20 yards further in the air. Trees are pretty sparse and I heard no audible thunk from either shot. It was the difference of getting into a bad spot VS something that was reasonably playable.

Hey thanks so much. Yes I did do a head to head comparison, I would have put it on the channel except I ended up shooting it all in slow motion, haha. The regular SIM was best for me but the Max was best for my buddy. It’s a little bit more forgiving & it has a tiny bit more draw bias but very similar.

Sim2 no doubt... Callaway driver all look similar..I had the Mavrik Sub Zero..good driver but not great. My M5 was much better and longer and more forgiving. Going for the Sim2 aerodynamic looks and feel for the longer yardages.

@@LetsPlayThru nice!! Yeah Taylormade taking their technology to a whole new level and look wise too, Callaway wasn't as much because there wasn't much changes. A friend of mine got the Epic Speed Max driver, he wasn't getting any yardage or distance that he want and wasn't that forgiving. He went and traded in for the Sim2 Max-D and hit longer and more forgiving. I have the Fujikura TS 7TX Spec on my M5 extra stiff and light head that helps a lot.

Got to agree. One hole where you pulled both drivers left, had there been water further up where the Sim landed would have been a different story.....For me nothing in it, and all down to how you swing and strike the ball. Both clubs equally as good. Would it be worth the huge expense to upgrade.....for me.....no....Bottom line though is if you are happy that is all that matters.
