TAYLORMADE SIM vs TITLEIST TSi3... WHICH IS BEST???

[@garysylvester5685]

Just bought the Sim Max Team Europe Driver (Love the Colour Scheme over the normal one )in 10.5 only played with it for 2 rounds and in the 2nd round hit 10/11 good drives with it So happy so far

[@X00000370]

I like the outside-inside testing. It gives a "fuller" picture when you see where the shots end up on the course with your commentary about the target, flight, and the hit quality. The computer testing does provide the numbers which are very useful...

[@rowbagscallaghan8566]

For comparisons love the fact you demonstrated both course and studio shots...keep that up

[@sirhc7938]

Really good review, insight and diversity of conditions. I'm a huge Titleist fan, but ended up with a Taylormade, as it performed better for me. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos, a lot of work that goes unnoticed!

[@aydengamble2384]

It doesn't matter outdoor or indoor it's the teacher and doing good job and I have learnt a lot from you James Keep up good work

[@richardsdiaz1]

Finally watched the whole thing! I have a few thoughts... 1). Seems like there is nothing to split the 2 drivers other than personal preference and the separation that a first class fitting can sometimes create. 2). I’m not a huge fan a split colors or futuristic looks. So for the me the Titleist is a clear winner on looks. 3). I don’t like the idea of twist face. I tend to miss high toe and the whole concept of twist face seems to run counter to my miss pattern. Also, I’d live to see the new TSi3 up against: 1)TS3 2) Maverick Thanks for a great video! Looking forward to more!

[@jrickett630]

I enjoyed the format, on course & in studio. Well done, James.

[@jeffong1]

Changing my driver from TM M1 to a PXG gen 2 0811 XF this Fall. Cant wait to get it in my bag!

[@davegambrill4495]

Much better doing both tests as one review👍 I’ll be looking to get the Taylormade Sim Max when Taylormade bring out their new driver as it looks and sounds 😍😍🔥🔥

[@SwayPromo]

I tested the tsi against my sim today. And I can’t wait to get my tsi. The spin was way better I didn’t get a few just 1400 spin ones that just fall out of the air. I have 170 ball speed. I hit a few 300 carry drives with tsi. Easier swing. Love It!

[@andrewbentley2593]

Loving the on course section, especially with the addition of shot tracer. It adds so much to the review. Personally, a quick fast forward on the ‘net hits’ works wonders but love the stats at the end just for an empirical compare.

[@cameronwesb]

Love this sort of content! Love your videos lad. Been playing golf for just under 2 years and ur vids have helped me go through the bad patches of my game down to a 11.5 handicap

[@cameronwesb]

Keep up the good work James lad

[@wmvaux]

Yes enjoyed the outside and inside test, good way to really see how the different clubs stack up against one another.

[@williammathew9162]

This was definitely a good video. I’m hope you continue showing both on course and on simulator at the same time. While I prefer on course because you can’t truly simulate the real thing I do enjoy seeing the numbers as well.

[@nicholasmartin3540]

Almost commented on yesterday’s video about please adding shot tracer, what a pleasant surprise! Great content James, always a good way to start off my mornings.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Thanks buddy!

[@adamrobsongolf1099]

How do you add shot tracer to a video? I wanted to add it to mine.

[@sprtsfanatic1]

Loved the hybrid inside and outside comparison. Get to take both factors of the course and the elements, versus testing in perfect settings and getting the numbers. I just picked up a SIM this week, after not upgrading a driver since 2012. I’m definitely in the honeymoon phase and haven’t yet been able to test it on the course. But, hitting on the range, it was phenomenal. My worst mishit would still have been workable on the course. Feels good to be using a TaylorMade driver again, after not using one since the Burner 2.0 from ‘09 and then my father’s OG Burner Bubble from the 90s

[@TimC887]

Might I suggest a different type of test for drivers? 3-5 balls with each, on a few different tees, and then compare the averages. Smooths out the results on course. Just a thought. Cheers!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Good idea Tim, I’ve done this in the past but then thought “you only get one shot” when you play kinda thing

[@corystegen9748]

love the format...on course is so vital but the numbers don't lie.

[@IOJR17]

I tried the sim last week for a couple of indoor swings. Felt amazing but was a totally different feel and weight from my old R1. Going to try all options to see what’s the best fit. Hello from Texas

[@richardsdiaz1]

Watching now! I’m looking forward to seeing your honest opinion on these 2 drivers! Will comment more after I’m done watching!

[@robertbox7666]

When I tested drivers I tried everything PGA Superstore and Edwin Watts had. I ended up with the Cobra F8. The Titleist T2 was just as good but not $300.00 better.

[@dennisupdyke2595]

I'm probably putting the tsi3 on the bag. You need Chris with you his humor feeding off of you is incredible!

[@adupuy]

I like both inside and outside testing/ reviews. I have tested new drivers every year for the past 4 years against my 2015 Great Big Bertha Driver and it has yet to be bested. I will try again next spring and looking forward to testing the Titleist TSI.

[@warrenburch6545]

I've been playing the TS1 for a year now and will not be upgrading my driver no time soon. I like this format for testing.

[@randyhooper625]

Always prefer outside, real world conditions. Like the shot tracer a lot! Keep it up y’all!!

[@cruzcontreras2391]

Good approach buddy. Indoor and on course works. Keep up the good work.

[@markfogden4549]

Very good review James. Really liked the way you done this one.

[@seanedwards1838]

Definitely the course video is better bro, because you already done the indoor testing when you've done the review so you made the right choice 🤙🤙 keep up the great job

[@johnmac4769]

Your are great inside or outside. Enjoy you videos in either location.

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Appreciate you John

[@davehurley26]

Brilliant video great format inside and out fantastic but we all know on course is where it matters . I'm thinking of getting one of these later this year well the sim2/tsi3 2.or 4 😁😁💪💪

[@gwilko6452]

Everybody is different. Just go out and try different brands and pick what suits you best . I got custom fitted last week and was certain i wanted everything Cobra. Came out having bought Taylormade sim irons and driver. Picked my new driver up already waiting on the irons. I had been using and slicing a Cobra F7 for a year. The Taylormade Sim driver is just amazing, 15 yards either side of middle after 50 out 60 balls at the driving range . Well chuffed

[@peterwhite6962]

Love one long video with both in and outdoor mate!

[@333brooky]

Great format James I didn't just skip to the numbers!

[@Pxgamer721]

Didnt ask?

[@BubbaMcGinty]

Got fitted at the start of the season for the Sim Max, thing is a rocket, wind doesn't overly affect it and is the straightest driver I have ever had

[@andylinacre8231]

Like the 50/50 part of the test , But no mention of price ?? Srixon ZX drivers are ubiquitous ! 😳 Long word Thursday ! On lockdown here !! so keep doing wot your doing !

[@sonnymitchell8466]

I like the evrything cuz then we get see both sides how they are on course in real conditions n numbers that come from inside.

[@chrisfesta8579]

Currently gaming th G410 LST, but very excited to try the Titleist TSi3 and the new Ping G425 LST. I've tried the Mavriks and SIMs already.

[@gordygolfc2039]

The full review as you have provided is good for me.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Love it love love it love it, on course head to head with two awesome drivers and one awesome guy with also inside testing to add Smashed it 👏👏

[@markpreston6345]

Nice way to do a review....I like the mixture of the two. And making it a mid handicap test by hitting 1 fairway from 8 was a nice touch 🙈🙈🙈. Be nice to see this kind of thing again, maybe a bit more on your thoughts between the two..which feels better, which is easier to do different things with etc rather than the outcome of the drive. Like you say, a good fitting will put most drivers neck and neck with the stats so the more personal feel would help. Keep up the good work!!

[@russellgarner3073]

Just got a Sim max yesterday I’m 9 deg with hzrdus smoke 6.0. Got a launch angle of 12.3 and spin of 2100 . Fitted at golf support in Mansfield

[@andrewmigmitch]

Keep doing the on course test and then indoor test. 👍🏼 Need to have a go of the titleist

[@johnsaundersorsam]

As always though enjoy the content and delivery. P.S. love grumpy Chris !!

[@chrisn8115]

I like the outside / inside split. Looks like the SIM, TSI, Maxrik and Ping all perform very similarly when fit

[@brianr0bertson779]

Great format on course and indoors backing actual play with data ,,,👍

[@michaelcooley8275]

After testing drivers for literally weeks versus my 20 year old Titleist I came to the conclusion that there isn't much difference and certainly nothing there to pull $500 out of my pocket. Since I'm aging, (60) I bought a left over M3 with a regular shaft and it it helping me to get the ball up in the air.

[@tonyveneziano5598]

I have a TS 2 and I hit frozen rope bombs with it won’t be upgrading until the 550 dollar price tag comes down but Titleist makes true golfers equipment I’m a huge fan of all their clubs gaming TS2 Driver TS3 fairway and my true love the 735 cm irons the best combo set ever made Vokey wedges and a 1996 Scotty Catalina. Handicap is coming down but currently 6.2

[@christopherash5638]

This format is really good Rick Sheilds does the indoor-outdoor format and we see the difference between a machine to real on the course do this for irons as well keep up the good work , should have around with Josh Bell from golf mates

[@TonyAhie]

Mic, new look, great! Definitely in an out ~ but mixing it up is good too. Particularly like the amateur testing, since most of us probably aren't pro 😂

[@j.christianlarsen8587]

Nice video. I like when you do indoor and course comparisons for the same clubs.

[@peterwhite6962]

Wpuld be super interested to see a TS4 vs TSI3, from what i have heard the TSI3 is a bit lower spin and more like a 3.5. Im going to test both when TSI3 comes out!

[@janikorhonen4488]

This format is great, where you go outdoors and indoors 👌

[@jimaverill1659]

I like this format ....outside comparison

[@joshuawebb6586]

Planning on a full bag fit for the first time in early spring this next year. Currently hit Taylormade but am extremely intrigued in Titliest

[@brianrizza2045]

This was a good test because you had reality and also the numbers

[@banditbaker1675]

It's interesting that you got a similar result as TXG who did an optimised H2H with the TSi, SIM, Maverik and G410 LST yesterday where the 4 drivers gave almost identical numbers. Which I suppose is logical because each manufacturer is pretty well maxed out on the USGA driver limits.

[@markrudd917]

Much prefer reviews with shots on the golf course. I don’t mind the numbers review in the studio but there’s times when you’re in danger of disappearing up your own tail pipe through the analysis. Love your channel though James!

[@TenPester]

I have a Titleist full bag but sim driver with an Oban Kiyoshi white shaft that works so well with it. Also kinda decided after your video on it lol

[@gmuzz]

Good to see a test where you have to shape your drives. The TM seemed more forgiving but the TSi better out the middle

[@randolphantoniuk5239]

Like the idea of course then in doors. Not to worried about length. Cgeers James

[@Garbox80]

Me too. It also allows him to do that on course test without knowing the differences and thus possibly affect his shots subconsciously. But a little bit of a warm up with some clubs would be benefical I think 😂

[@timleadxa]

I’ve been playing Titleist D910 for like 8 years. 12 degree lift. I hit it about 225 carry. I’ve hit almost everything. Nothing is straighter. Mode be shades longer but not as straight. Interested in the Titleist tsi3

[@kennethlin]

Good video! I'll be looking to upgrade my M4 to a Sim this off season!

[@3944-w3q]

Went and got fitted today. Walked in dead set on the Sim2 and walked out with the Tsi3 which wasnt even in the 4 drivers I started looking at (always a Taylormade guy). For whatever reason I could not get that Sim under control and Tsi was just longer and straighter for me. I hit high spinny drives typically and Tsi seemed to help me control it. (Hit a fade and quite high and spinny, 5 handicap) just for reference and my experience

[@larrybarnes9087]

Loved the outdoor indoor idea keep it

[@DayswithDinagirl]

love out on the course testing!

[@Ready_Golf]

Solid feedback on that review. I'm gaming the m5 tour driver, it can be such a joy to hit and I can square one up. I would be interested to see how a 460 driver of that caliber would feel and perform like.

[@alangould2746]

Keep the tests as they are please 👍

[@garyhague5882]

Not looking to buying a new driver anytime soon. Only had the mavrik driver since December. Definitely prefer the sound of the Titleist out of the two.

[@markderby9416]

Great video James love the course and inside reviews👍Taylormade might have a new driver out before Christmas though 🤣

[@jeditor21]

Thanks again James! Very helpful

[@papabb]

I am thinking of upgrading my driver, and may look at the SIM or even M6 as I prefer them over the Titlest. However, I may swing one just for funk of it. Maybe test on course, in studio and possibly with your mates trying the clubs as well (maybe not to your settings, off the rack). Seeing a mid handicap Mark would relate it to more of us slackers.

[@berriejasper2631]

Like how you’re doing the review, outside then in. Can we get some more reviews of mid cost clubs over the high end. Cost sadly doe factor.

[@paulsturmey28able]

Enjoyed the format in and out side. I’ve got an M6 but hit the sim a few weeks ago and loved it but I’m unlike to change due to cash flow the titleiest look like a great classic classy driver would be interested in trying but again cash flow is likely to stop that. M6 is not bad and easier to hit on a bad swing day.

[@brocklanders1984]

I own a SIM which I love, I can’t see there being a big enough improvement in any driver for at least a few generations.

[@henrikaberg4749]

Great channel! Thanks :) may I ask what setup you have indoors? I am looking into making something similar

[@jacobmccain8082]

Headed to Club Champion day after tomorrow for a full driver/fairway/hybrid fitting. Probably gonna come down to these two. Currently playing the TS3 which I’ve had since it came out.

[@rayjones981]

Great review James.

[@jeffbates5401]

James I have the Big Bertha B21. I love it and will be staying with it. Fox should try it.

[@NathanPier]

I picked up a SIM Max D. My first new driver in over a decade.

[@justinsmith2918]

Great content as always James I am currently playing a M6 Driver and loving it, don't think I am getting a new one, going to stay with what I have (for now lol)

[@ultimatebasses]

This format is great!

[@tonymoss2484]

On course much better to see when testing supplemented with the stats 👍🏻. I won’t be testing, worried I might prefer one 😬 Genuinely happy with my Epiq flash though so I will leave the testing to you.

[@stuartmacdonald305]

Every time the heads hit together when you were holding them in the studio a little piece of me died

[@robh316]

great comparison there james i do think that taylormade make the best drivers and fairwaywoods ive had a taylormade sldr for ages time for an upgrade no doubt but all in all ive loved it , its been a great driver much better than the nike vapour i used too use

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

Good video! As a side point - the white Adidas top you are wearing looks good - can you suggest a stockist where I can get one please?

[@craigsharp6581]

Love to see you test them up against the Mizuno ST200, Cobra Speedzone and Ping 425/410

[@grahamsmith539]

Great 👍 content, the price point of the Titleist is off putting, £519 seems excessive, but I might still give it a try against my Callaway Rogue

[@martinpedersen7785]

think you should look at a new putter instead of a new driver :-D i will try the new ping this winter.... great vid... a test tsi3/sim and the new ping :-)

[@retired8123]

I would like to see a TSI3 vs itself but with the weight in the back moved all the way in the toe vs your current set up to see if the weights actually do anything substantial...thx love the channel

[@geecars8887]

Great video keep up the good work

[@joshdixon9049]

Love your videos James! Only started watching during lockdown and only started playing golf once courses reopened! Love your honest opinions but would you be able to give advice on good drivers , 3 woods, hybrids etc. to get for someone starting out (for forgiveness) but will last long enough to hopefully bring the handicap down? Currently have M6 irons but I dont know where to look at the top of the bag with the bigger clubs!

[@garyr2723]

All new club tests should follow this format in one video, compare with current gamer on course and in the studio, Repeat this format in a 2nd video with the mid handicapper. And a 3rd video on the course and in the studio with the the club it replaced from the same manufacturer 👌

[@enzoreda2612]

I believe there’s no difference between drivers it’s all feel and preference.Im going to buy a new driver this winter and will decide after testing them all and see what works best for me.Its between TSi3,SIM and Mavrick

[@paulsutton7722]

Outdoor all the way for me keep up the great work

[@simonfaulkner2007]

Looking to try the Ping425, love a good Ping driver. Also looking forward to your review on it

[@Cool_football_edits]

Good honest review. Think it comes down to looks for you now so I think you're leaving towards the TSi3. Think your spec in the SIM might be good for me 🤔

[@kepler240]

2:21 that sound is why I sold my Cobra LTSX LS and bought this TSi3. That sound is phenomenal. The Cobra sounded a little hollow and felt too soft. This TSi3 is a bad you know what.

[@bradfordcotta5925]

Outside and inside works perfectly. As long as you have shot tracer, of course.

[@halfkraazy]

Keep the new Titleist, and you can send me the SIM to test. 😆... Good video I enjoyed the format

[@scottwhite4685]

Hey James, how do you feel about the Hzrdus Yellow vs Black? I noticed that the TSI is in the blackand TM in yellow, which do you prefer?
