Like a lot of other casual golfers on here, I ended up buying this club (on sale for $195 CAD!) to augment my 20+ year old set of garage sale clubs. My old driver's head was the size of a deck of cards almost. First time out with this on 9 holes I hit two stinkers, one half decent strike....and the best drive of my life at 270 yards straight as an arrow. I still need to work so much on my swing but by God this gives driver gives me so much more confidence.

SIM Max the best thing i ever bought and never had a club made as much difference to my game. Can finally be aggressive on tee shots and not worry about that occasional slice since the custom fit closed the club face at address down 1.5 degrees. For me its flying 10 yards further, hitting 9/10 drives rather than the 6/10 i was at before. The confidence it has given me means im now enjoying golf so much more than i was hen i was just anxious about the dread OB on the right side.

[@tjericson2414]

Love this review Rick. You make excellent points. I can never understand spending $500 on a new driver if you’re just chasing those extra 5 or 10 yards. 90% of golfers 11 yards more on driver does not make a difference in your score, if you’re already driving the ball 240-250+. Accuracy is more important, for me anyway. I guess 10 or 11 yards makes a difference if you’re only hitting 220-230ish and you’re having trouble getting over water or something.

awesome video!! I would like to say that I found very interesting is that according to those numbers the sim max is only 4% better. So someone who hits it 240 yards with sim max would then in theory hit it 230.6 yards with the cheaper driver. Loved the video!

[@joshualong7517]

I have the RBZ after breaking my old Big Bertha Warbird a few years ago. The stiff shaft had too much flex and once I upgraded the shaft it came alive. $70 for the shaft upgrade and I love the driver now! Plenty of drives well over 300 yards and it just tracks down the middle all day.

[@zacharyhood3348]

For those those who don’t know, the RBZ series was a collaboration between Taylormade and CCM, the hockey stick brand. For a few years CCM was releasing RBZ sticks as well and when the partnership ended when adidas sold CCM.

[@dawsonblandmedia]

Love the videos Rick. Just had a few things I wanted to bring up. I work in golf retail and we sell the RBZ black and will soon launch the SIM drivers. As far as price goes, the RBZ is a year or so older so it’s gone down in price as you mentioned but it’s also priced based on what’s gone into the club. The sim has a lot more technology and time put into designing their best driver yet. The RBZ was designed to be their “economy” type driver. And as far as distance, I think with your swing speed the gap in total distance is a lot smaller than it would be for someone only swinging in the 80-90 clubhead speed range. Just some thoughts of mine, love to hear your take.

[@user-nh4tm6hh4j]

When Rick let Nike go to the wayside he proved that he is here for his viewers. He shows a level of integrity that makes viewers trust him. Also, he has proven to me through is used club challenges and cheap club set reviews that being a good golfer is 90% of the game. Seeing Rick shoot par with the kind of clubs I'm packing around shows practice is where the game is.

Great job as usual Rick! Being that you're a pro a less negative affect on you is expected/assumed having better mechanics than the average weekender.

[@Badfinger4]

To me, 11 yards of carry (and perhaps even more total yards) is a really significant amount, regardless of the type of player that you are. I'm actually skeptical that the yardage gain was THAT large. It seemed to me he had the SIM set at about a half a degree lower loft than the RBZ, which would seem to account for most of the difference between the two clubs. I'd be willing to bet that, specs being equal, there isn't much difference in these two drivers at all.

[@austinheld4990]

Coming from somebody that works at Dicks Sporting Goods in the Golf section, the taylormade RBZ was produced by taylormade but it was designed by both taylormade and DSG. You can find them at third hand shopped new or used but they tend to be specifically sold at DSG and Golf Galaxys. This was a great video!

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

5:45 Shaft's the diff. He's an X flex....off the rack stiffest is stiff. 11 yards off the rack

[@puttputt524]

For guys who swing fast, the shaft weight is just as noticeable.

[@Jacob-nn2zv]

You can most definitely buy off the rack x flex. You just dont see them as often because most golfers dont need x

[@stevenkeeley299]

I have the RBZ, I used the difference on a premium driver to buy a decent set of wedges. It's all about balancing cost where I can improve most. Had it for a year or so and it goes fine, the shaft doesn't quite feel right but I like the adjustability of the head. The grip I agree is too small and feel weak which when I can be bothered will be re-gripped to a larger one. Definitely for the money the best driver out there I think. I refuse to pay big bucks for a few yards, more interested in dispersion. I do love the way it sits and looks behind the ball too.

Stephen...if the Sim came out at $299 or $349...the volume of units sold would make up the difference in price. Why shouldn’t I wait and get last year’s model this year at half the price? Oh wait...that’s what I’m doing.

[@puddsy2411]

Wife bought me the RBZ black for Xmas, got to say I love it and the fact it’s so cheap compared to premium drivers is a bonus! Feels great to hit and looks great. No way I could justify an extra £270 for 1 club to gain 11yards! Just not going to happen I’m afraid. Great vid as always rick!

MadMan 845 I agree with you. The prices are ridiculously high for a new release product ! Look at a new vehicle as great analogy.

Yeah for the pro golfer that plays for a living and can constantly hit the ball 280-290 yards that 11 yards is a big deal. But as he mentioned the weekend golfers that hit it 220-230, those five yards might not be worth the price point.

Great video Rick. The original RBZ was a good Driver. The Black looks great. I seen these at American Golf the other week for £129 and thought “great value” The matching 3 Wood is only £99 as well. The crazy thing is, if you’re only getting 11 yards difference between the SIM and RBZ over 290yds, us mortals are going to see even less distance between them!! Maybe 5yds!!! It that worth paying the extra money??

Love the honesty and feedback that it’s not all about what you spend

I have this driver and absolutely love it.....average 270-300 yds and it is more forgiving than you would think for a club at that price point. The secret is out now....thanks Rick!

Great video Rick! The RBZ Black is the driver I’m currently using. My only complaint is that it accumulates a lot of dirt when I hit the grass and it is a pain to clean, otherwise, for the money, it is a fantastic driver. Cheers

I bought this driver and absolutely love its traditional looks and believe it to be very good quality for the price of £130. It features a good quality shaft i.e Matrix Ozik white tie 55 gram. I tested it in the shop against my old driver RBZ stage 2 and it beat it hands down. It feels wonderfully light to swing. With the money I saved I put it towards purchasing one of Tony Clarks Planeswings online which as a result of the swing improvements this has produced has more than compensated for the 11 yards difference.
