Easy to follow a concise explanation like this, thank you.

[@gsuderman]

Excellent explanation!

[@CodyWheeler]

Thanks. Just got one of these. Very helpful. Never knew about the lie setting or that changing the loft also opened and closed the face. 🎉

[@hocheye]

Thanks! I just acquired that driver about two weeks ago, I set it at last one you mentioned. Will see if it gives me a consistent draw.

[@jesserittenhouse2722]

Thanks for the helpful video!

[@jesterbee]

Great video. Thank you for the explanation. In general if you lower the settings are you opening the face as well as lowering the loft?

[@kevzkardz7793]

The video I needed to find. Slicing the crap out of this club. Will adjust and see what happens. Great video

[@samchapman3091]

i have the same problem, did you have any luck?

[@kevzkardz7793]

@@samchapman3091 I adjusted the shaft some. It seemed to help with a higher loft than 10.5. Also pointing the toe in just a tad. Lot more straighter shots now

[@dshudson]

I too had a bad slice right with this driver. A small adjustment with my left hand (I'm a right hand player) a quarter inch clockwise fixed this.. I'm straight down the fairway now.

[@davidarkinian2393]

You're slicing cuz your swing is out to in cutting accross the ball. Use a slightly closed stance to engrain the inside out swing path.

[@ianleecastilla5448]

Thanku always for your efforts

[@mr.canada]

Great Video !

[@IronBecomesSteel]

Thank you!

[@Divercoops]

Great video, I’m looking at the moment to get the Sim 2 /max however I do have a question that I hope you can answer for me? I already have a R15 with a custom shaft that I want to keep so if I got the sim2 head would the shaft fit or would I need to change the adaptor? Thanks

[@pauljohnkiener8152]

Thank you!!!

[@jesterbee]

Another question, please. If I have the Max with 24g weight in back isn’t that compensation for a slice since the COG is towards the back and on the downswing and impact the toe will whip to the left?

[@robertward007]

Hi. I have a sim 2 max. Im a relative beginner. 9 of 10 my driver shots are consisitently going to the right. Whats the best settting for me to have to try and even this out? I think its currently set to "Higher"

[@ronreid5182]

What is standard face angle on Sim 2 Max D. When I address the ball wth the white area on top of face when aligned square to target line the face appears to be closed.

[@chuckyl3978]

-4 degrees goes to -8 when downswing

[@ScienceBasedFitness]

Thanks

[@dshudson]

Can I get heavier then 24g. I've looked everywhere. I guess weighted tape is my only option

[@jmo_fishing2399]

My sim 2 won’t click and I stripped the last screw cause of it I just got a new one and it also won’t click do you think I have a knockoff driver wrench

[@colinphipps8183]

Hi great video Any ideas. I’m hitting my sim2 max driver and it’s fading to the right, do you no what would be the best setting to set my driver up at to help prevent this Cheers

[@saxbysauce2225]

same, i upgraded my driver from a callaway xr speed driver which cost me 350 and hit it straight, never played better, when i switched to the sim 2 it has huge fades which are so unpredictable its stupid, did you find out a solution?

[@chuckyl3978]

@@saxbysauce2225 fix your swing

[@peterparker9214]

So I just ordered the Sim 2 but made an error when purchasing by getting the 9.0 instead of the 10.5 that I wanted. Instead of going through the hassle of sending it back can’t I just adjust the loft higher to effectively make it a 10.5? Or does it not work that way?

[@xWoodenLeafx]

Would also increase the lie angle of the club

[@magicmike1122]

Is it possible to change the aluminum ring after it’s ordered??

[@alamm.n.1723]

My experience in fitting Golf Driver for Asian Golfer, 194 grams Head Weight, are most suitable for their strength. So normally I have to find the way to reduce 10 grams of weight for Taylormade SIM, Ping G425 etc in which have 204-205 grams std Head weight.

[@ftfftf2064]

I have a question????My daughter has the sim 2 max draw 12.00 However she wants to increase the loft to 14 degrees like her previous driver. CAN THIS be increased to 14 degree loft?

[@chuckyl3978]

yes

[@joebuckley5551]

There’s another adjustment for spin in there you don’t touch on. What’s that do?

[@BatmanTC]

So if you move the notch one lower, normal lie, is it .5 or .75 degrees?

[@miguelquintana8076]

Tje markings do t make sense on the tip. There's 3 notches in between each 2° increment.

[@TheTrollstigen]

Is it against the rules to adjust during a round? If I set lower loft and this open face, can I compensate that fade bias with that other screw by setting that toward a draw bias?

[@gunit12345]

Yes it is illegal to do so during your round

[@nicholasroberts4527]

hey there. just got a sim2 with the same shaft i used on my R1 for years. I hit that driver so well but now am struggling with hitting to many hooks. What setting do you suggest?

[@magicmike1122]

Happened to me! Hooks I found (for me) happens when I hit the ball on the heel of the face. So to correct this, I basically set the club of further back from the ball at address.

[@chriswright5204]

Flatten the lie, opening the face will help also.

[@kevinmoulton2480]

Hi. I want to adjust my SIM 2 max for more draw. I pulled the screw out, and made the adjustment as you suggested, but there’s no click when I put the screw back in. It’s quite tight. Seems fairly simple, but am I doing something wrong if there’s no click?

[@rhagan2513]

keep turning untill you hear 3 clicks

[@shammymcshamrock8944]

[@georgematthews9318]

@@rhagan2513 one click is sufficient

Don't listen to this guy, you can adjust your clubs when ever you want, even on the course.

[@jayjump004]

I’m concerned about buying counterfeit sim2 driver. Is there something I can identify when looking at a picture? Some distributors are unaware they’re buy/selling counterfeit. I’d like trust all sellers but I want to be confident in my purchase as well. TY! This video is going to get many views from me. - New Golfer

[@JBJHonez]

I guess just either buy directly from TM or from a legit name brand store or golf shop

[@mjphoto45]

Serial number

[@tluiz4293]

Why can't we adjust during the rounds ? Id be very interested in buying this driver If I could use a 10.5 loft one on tee shot and 8.5 on another

[@DonDizzz]

How normal is it that the adjustment screw snaps? My father has snapped 3 adjustment screws in only a few months of play. Also the rubber washer constantly is getting chewed up. Tried different tips and same results. Obviously it is not locking into place at the right torque pressure but why? Could it de defective some how? Please help.

[@hocheye]

It does click I just just did it on my Sim max2 driver. The shaft has to be seated all the way in or you may have issues. Maybe the screw wasn't seated properly that's why it snaps? Just a guess.

[@DonDizzz]

@@hocheye as an update it was defective and had to be returned the replacement was fine and never had another issue

[@duddy2x964]

If mine didn’t click did i do it wrong?

[@mjphoto45]

I sold my r11 for sim max D then Sim 2

[@irvgotti9271]

If I’m having trouble hitting the ball more toward the middle toe, and high. How should I adjust my Sim2 ? Thanks in advance.

[@witness6514]

I’d say stand a little farther back and tee the ball down more. You’re hitting the toe is probably because you’re to close to the ball. And hitting high because the tee is high. If those don’t apply, keep your eye on the ball lol. Hope this help and good luck!

[@jasonzeng5625]

Try not to change your driver setting right away. Only do it when you hit the ball at the centre consistently and not very satisfied with the flight. Besides what Brandon says, when you hit it high it also could be due to you hitting it too deeply on the way down, try to feel like sweeping up instead of chopping down.

[@paulmarsh8974]

Adding my two cents worth.... you could be leaning a bit forward (more towards your toes) That create you to hit the ball more towards the heel of the clubhead.. Try standing a bit more upright and find a comfortable balance on your feet.. The tee height is different for various people.. After you take a drive, check the face of your driver and it'll have an imprint of where you're hitting the ball.. If it constantly shows towards the top of the face then lower the height of tee... or vise versa... ie. Change from an orange tee to a purple tee. The markings will come off the face of the driver with a rub.. Hope that helps..

[@magicmike1122]

If you’re hitting the toe, you’re standing too far from the ball. Try setting up with the ball right in the center of the club face at address, from there see where you hit on the face. If you hit toe, set up closer (ball on heel) if you hit heel, set up further (ball towards toe)

[@frankielambardo9268]

OMG, you're confusing upright lie angle with flat.....upright means the club head toe is vertical/pointed up.....NOT THE SHAFT!

[@gregbailey4290]

When I adjusted mine Sim2 Max, the shaft screw is totally different! Has almost no markings/info….just says higher/lower and a few notches….his looks much more informative…wtf

[@kevinviolino8341]

what if i want my loft to be even lower than 8.5

[@magicmike1122]

Get the lowest loft and then adjust it lower

[@chuckyl3978]

buy a 9 degrees

[@chrismcdaniel9884]

I have the 9 degree and have an issue slicing what should I do?

[@TheTrollstigen]

Change your swing maybe :) these draw/fade changes aren't solving everything :)

[@dshudson]

All you need to do depending on the direction of your slice is adjust your left hand ever so slightly, assuming your a righty, a bit clockwise if the slice is to the right and left if your slice is left. Your leaving the face open at Impact. Report back and tell me how it went.

[@saxbysauce2225]

@@dshudson hey dude, im an excellent ball striker, and literally since buying my sim 2 std driver never missed the middle, i have a swing which has all the characteristics of "the ball should go straight" and everytime i hit it it goes 40 metres to0 the right? any tips?

[@eddie33081]

@@saxbysauce2225 Might be your shaft. They load/unload differently depending on tempo and swing speed. You might want to find your old shaft and get a TM tip or get fit for a shaft.

[@sofakingtonedef]

If you like the loft setting you are on, could rotate the shaft 180 degrees to the upright position…. This position tends to reduce right tendency, worth a try.

[@jimcole2648]

I don’t see how adjusting your shaft makes a difference. Sounds like bull. When you hold your club. When you swing your club your hands can end up in different places for the average golfer. Feels like a gimmick

I sure hope youre not a payed engineer, all due respect 😂

[@jimcole2648]

@@jorgehabib8661 there is a video also of the minor changes actually doesn’t really make a difference. Going from 9-12 is minimal and for the everyday player, it really doesn’t matter. Most average players will just get the 10.5.
