![]() ![]() With the Rescue there was a couple I didn't quite catch and therefore carry dropped down below the 160 yard mark which is pretty low. I want my hybrids to look like a hybrid, not a half iron, half rescue that's a little stuck in the middle.ĭuring my indoor testing on Trackman I noted that the SIM2 Max dispersion tended to favour the left hand side of the fairway, whilst the SIM2 Rescue's much more compact shape seemed to favour a little more of a fade so I was finishing just to the right of target.Īs you'd expect with the bigger head and different CG configuration, the Max was flying higher than the Rescue at 72 yards average peak compared to the Rescue's 63, so if it's easy launch that you're looking for then the Max may be a better bet.īoth clubs gave me a carry distance of 170 yards on average, although the Rescue did roll out around 5 yards more because of that lower flight and produced a couple of miles an hour of extra ball speed. It looks a little meaner than the SIM2 Max, but I can't say I've ever been a huge fan of the baffler shape with hybrids and this is just the same, even though the finish and quality does look great. I'd describe it as a soft curved baffler shape, with the bottom line of the face being wider than the top. ![]() The Rescue is more of a smaller, iron-like profile with a brushed all-black finish. ![]() Like the rest of the SIM2 range, the carbon fibre and white finish on the top of the head frame the ball nicely. I would say that things have just been 'tidied up a little'. Looks-wise, the SIM2 Max is almost exactly the same as last year's model albeit with the slight addition of the updated SIM2 colours. TaylorMade SIM2 and SIM2 Max Rescue Review There are three different loft options available, from 17 to 22 degrees. You also get an adjustable loft sleeve which allows you to add or subtract 1.5 degrees from your rescue. Like the Max Rescue, the Rescue features the V Steel sole which adds forgiveness and maintains lower CG, along with a Forged high-strength C300 steel face complete with Twist Face. The idea of this Rescue and this shape is that it promotes more workability with higher spin and a flatter launch, properties that you'd be more likely to see in an iron. The SIM2 Rescue is new for 2021 and has been designed with insights from TaylorMade's biggest stars including Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy. This hybrid has a fixed hosel and so you'll see a whole host of different loft options from 19 to 31 degrees, making it the perfect alternative to your current long iron setup if you're looking for a bit more help at the top end of the bag. The face is made from a C300 steel which maximises ball speeds, whilst it also benefits from TaylorMade's Twist Face technology which is designed to help straighten up shots that aren't hit from the middle of the face. It also features 'depressed' toe and heel sections to aid turf interaction and make the hybrid more versatile from different lies. On the sole, the Max Rescue features a V Steel sole design which redistributes weight to provide that winning combination of easy launch with plenty of forgiveness. TaylorMade's tagline for the new SIM2 Max Rescue is 'everyone can be rescued' and so it's not surprising that this is their forgiving model which will suit a wide range of golfers. The 2021 SIM2 range sees the introduction of two models - the SIM2 Max Rescue which is an upgrade on last year's model, along with the SIM2 Rescue which is the 'players club' and one which TaylorMade are hoping will find favour with their stable of tour players. So how do you do that? You ask these guys what they want, and then you make it. That did change a little last year when the likes of McIlroy and DJ flirted with the SIM Max Rescue at certain tournaments, whilst they are popular in the women's game with the likes of Sung Hyun Park and Charley Hull.īut TaylorMade know that their clubs sell well when the big players use them, so getting these hybrids in the bags of their biggest players will be one of their main goals. Now we have seen some of the biggest names in the game using TaylorMade fairway woods for years, but not too many of them use the rescues. There are no real wholesale changes between SIM and SIM2, probably because SIM itself was such a success, but TaylorMade have looked at making 'marginal gains' to all of their products to give you just that little bit of extra performance. The golf equipment giants are looking to the SIM2 to improve on the impressive start made by SIM last year, the full lineup mainly comprises of updates but it also features some brand new additions. It's a new year, and that means new TaylorMade product. ![]()
