Taylormade SIM Max Irons Review – Are They Forgiving & Good for High Handicappers?

Taylormade SIM Max Irons

“Remember when free-floating faces were all the rage? Well it turns out that they still have their place in the golf world.”

Taylormade SIM Max Irons Overview

“The Taylormade SIM Max irons feature a SpeedPocket design which disconnects the bottom of the face from the sole.”

We remember when seemingly every manufacturer was making golf clubs with free-floating faces. And it was for a good reason too.

This design feature helps push ball speed almost effortlessly. It gives players of all skill levels what they want: more distance.

The Taylormade SIM Max irons are no different. The bottom portion of the face floats free to enhance ball speed -especially on low-face shots.

Supporting the free-floating face is the fabled speed bar that braces the entire head by connecting the sole and the crown.

The Taylormade SIM Max irons are certainly game improvement irons that are predicated on improving distance while also offering good forgiveness.

They are still a viable play for beginners and high handicappers.

Are the Taylormade SIM Max Irons Forgiving?

“There are two features that these irons have that we really like because they do a lot to enhance forgiveness for the average player.”

The first is the progressive inverted cone face design. The inverted cone expands the flexing zone to the areas of the face where most players mis-hit.

Of course, the area of the face where players mis-hit changes throughout an iron set. So Taylormade custom-placed the inverted cone area to specific areas on each iron in this set.

The second feature is that larger hitting area. No matter which SIM Max iron you pull out of your bag, you will be treated to an overall expanded hitting area.

To put it plainly, the Taylormade SIM Max irons are very forgiving.

Are the Taylormade SIM Max’s Good for Beginners & High Handicappers?

“Absolutely. That’s who they were made for.”

The Taylormade SIM Maxs feature a low center of gravity and a wide sole – a perfect combination for the swing tendencies of beginners and high handicappers.

Should you Buy the Taylormade SIM Max’s or the SIM2 Max’s?

“The SIM2’s sport a more refined Cap Back system.”

The Speed Bridge is replaced with a rear badge that helps dampen vibration.

Performance is similar to the Taylormade SIM Max in almost every way; but the SIM2’s launch a little lower which may not be great for slow swing speed players.
