- SHOULD EVERYONE USE THIS HYBRID? This year we have seen the launch of the Taylormade Sim range of drivers and woods... for the hybrid fans out there we have a new hybrid... not only do we have one... but Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy do too... DJ's new Hybrid and Rory's new hybrid could potentially be the best hybrid out there for all of us? the new taylormade sim max hybrid is causing shockwaves in the golf community... which hybrid should you use? who should use a hybrid? hybrid vs long irons? we all know the debate! lets do it... and lets do it now!
I bought this hybrid on a whim while heading out of town for a golfing trip. Having less than a year of golf under my belt at 51 years old, the guy at Dicks Sporting goods must have must have really scratching his head wondering why would a terrible golfer, like me, be buying a club that I couldn’t hit well during the trial. I had a feeling that it was a good product and that with enough hard work and practice, I would eventually figure it out. Well, I use it quite often on par 5s. I hit it VERY straight for around 230 yards. It has put me on the green on my second shot on par 5s many times. This is my favorite club in my bag.😍
I love my hybrids, I have some older TM Hybrids (rescue). I have a 3, 4, 5 and 6. They are perfect for the senior golfers like me. My long irons are all on the shelf now. I am looking to upgrade this year so I will be testing the new SIM hybrids myself. And yep, I would go for the 7 hybrid.
Smart, I’m a younger golfer but I still use a 19 degree hybrid and looking at one more, regardless of swing speed the help out of bad lies is amazing
I put two of those in my bag, really like them. Forgiving and accurate.
Thanks James. I think it would be interesting to see an old versus new hybrid comparison like you do sometimes with the drivers. Maybe M1 vs SIM
Been looking for that and haven't found one
I’ve had the M6 Hybrid for nine months and fills the gap nicely between the four iron and three wood. A nice easy swing gets it around 200 yards.
theyre a hook machine.. i've got to lag the head so much to get it to go close to straight, that it affects my swing with other clubs!
@@ryanokeefe12 well that's most likely your clubhead release and your not compensating for it correctly
@@max_w6547 thanks coach but the even numbered 'M' series (M2, M4, M6) are well known to be the game improvement series of clubs for TM.
The M6 hybrid is heal weighted, toe up and closed face (relative to let's say, the M3 rescue/hybrid).
Just in this case, they've gone a little over board in the slice correction.
I wouldn't make the comment if I wasn't hitting every other hybrid straight/slight fade. Handed my club to countless people and had the same result. That's the reason it's not in the bag anymore.
@@max_w6547 ps. You shouldn't be "compensating" for each club in your bag.
The compensating part is what ruined my swing with other clubs that I make reference to.
Yes, the M 6 hybrids have worked well for me too. I don't hook them either.
I game a Taylormade M6 3/19° and 4/22° hybrid... it's the first time I've ever used hybrids and and I don't know why it's taken me so long to put them in the bag... the 19° replaced my 5 wood and 22° replaced my 4 iron that I was too inconsistent with... superb 👌
I switched to a hybrid about 12-ish years ago and never looked back. Made the move because i was having trouble with my driver slice and found myself in the rough to the side of the fairway quite a bit, which made me afraid to use my 5-wood. The game improvement was immediate, i soon found i could confidently use my hybrid as a 5-wood replacement, or out of any bad lie, or a deep divot or even a fairway bunker. Always felt i could swing down and harder with it, more like my iron swing. Extremely versatile club to have in the bag.
Apparently it's incredible. Rory was running around the taylormade shoot getting everyone to watch him hit it he loves it so much haha
I play Rogue 3 and 4 hybrids. The 4 is my favorite club in my bag, especially out of the rough.
Thanks. I got the 19° Sim Max hybrid. I took it to the simulator and hit it straight! I love it.
I’m replacing a 3 iron that I had for stinger shot. I was thinking about a UDI driving iron. I’m pleased I went with the hybrid. (I’m a mid handicap trying to move to a low handicap)
I tried these out today. The 19 degree off the shelf felt like it was fitted to me. It was so easy to hit. I bought it on the spot.
I had an old Taylormade 5wood and then went to a Ping G400 4H 22*. I have used hybrids before but didn’t get one at first when I got my new Ping G700 irons. After hitting my hybrid I love it and will be keeping it in the bag
Only been playing 18 months and have a set of SLDR's. Don't mind the driver, but always hated the 3 wood and don't think much of the hybrids. Replaced the 3 wood with the Sim 5 wood a couple of weeks ago and love it. Just ordered a Sim 4 Hybrid to replace the hybrids too. Can't wait! The review gave me confidence I've made the right call anyway!
Bought a Sim Max 22 deg hybrid yesterday. Lovely club. 210 yards carry and 223 yards total. I was afraid it would be a hook machine. But no. I hit fades with it.
Not a hybrid person but have now decided to make the switch with these... 3 and 4 plus 3 wood ordered for good measure. Hope they don't disappoint.. Thanks for the review... 👍🏾
A Callaway Big Bertha #3 Hybrid, very reliable and a Mizuno CLK #2 Hybrid at 14 degrees which replaced 3 wood, very happy with both, tried a TM Rescue a few years ago, it went well and a long way, but always 50 yards left! Massive hook machine!
I have been playing it and I’m absolutely amazed by it. It is as easy to hit as a 5wood.
Hybrid user here. I use the RBZ Stage 2 19* hybrid. I love it. I have no confidence in long irons.
Had the original Callaway heavenwood 4 hybrid and it was a rocket, then G10 hybrids from when they came out till last year, now playing two Titleist 818H1’s, one a 19 set at 18 deg and the other a 21 set at 22 both with Tensei Blue 70 hy stiff shafts, love them and worthy successors to the Pings!
Got a Sim 5 wood on Friday hit it 6 times on Saturday only one poor shot a block very good into the wind and arrow straight. Currently using a JPX 22 deg in one set of clubs and M2 22 deg in my other set both go 185yards and 5woods 200 yards.
I have one of these James - Adams Super S 19 deg hybrid circa 2013...cost £37 from Ebay. Lovely club, good for under the wind low shots
Just bought a TS2 19 hybrid this past weekend. Love the look and sound. Don't care to much for Taylormades woods or hybrids.
Yeah but the sim driver is a beast!
I have the Epic Flash 3 and 4 hybrid! Love them....high, long and straight!
I bought it after hitting it at AG around 210/220 even with some bad strikes, it didn’t go far off line! I was sold straight away!
All this because Rory gave that amazing performance on TaylorMade’s RUclips channel... He deserves an oscar
He deserves a giant bonus
I see you’ve either never gamed or had success with one
Another first class honest review 👏👏👌, I have tried and tried to hit hybrids but I just can’t get on with them unfortunately so I stick to my 5 wood
I use a G410 crossover 3 iron, I play a lot of links courses at the north of Scotland so it’s handy to be able to shape the ball and to keep it low at times for when the wind picks up.
Iv still got a callaway heavenwood 2 h with steel shaft In my bag love it!
Got 2 Titleist 816's. One 19* set at 19.75 and a 23*. Flat out love'em. Especially since I got them both for under $75 US for the pair off Ebay. Keep up the great work and content
I know Taylormade bought Adams but you can see Adams technology tweaks in the taylormade irons and hybrids and it’s brilliant
I have a spare 19 degree Rescue somewhere which was fantastic. Had the hybrid since it basically came out. I have now a 21 or 22 degree as I love my 17 degree 4-wood.
Hybrids have found their way into my bag. Such a reliable and easy to hit club. I am currently looking for a little stronger Hybrid. I currently have a 4 Hybrid, M2. 160-170 yds for me. And more when I unfortunately hit it on the screws. Kind of like the dreaded straight ball. I'm a sweeper, so these are for me.
James, I just bought the 4 hybrid today. The numbers were pretty good even though I did not have the correct grip on it. Was averaging 96.7 club head, 131 ball speed, 3284 spin, 201 carry, 223 total yds. I am looking at replacing my 4 and 5 iron. I think this club will do the trick. Great review.
I'd change it pal, if your swinging 4 hybrid at nearly 97 mph you should be getting at least 220 carry
I currently game the Ping G410 19 & 22 degree hybrids and LOVE THEM! I’ll definitely test this one out and see how it compares.
Just got fitted for
Mizuno hmb’s and fitter put me into this 4 hybrid . My miss is usually a bad hook with a hybrid and with this hybrid I couldn’t hook it so it’s going into the bag . Great distance and ball flight !
I play R15 3 and 4 hybrids, have tested the SIM hybrids and numbers where identical to R15! R15 also adjustable so will go another season or 2 yet.
I played a Callaway Rogue 4 hybrid. I'm considering getting a 5 hybrid to either replace my 5 iron or sit between the 5 iron and 4 hybrid. I'll probably pick a 2nd hand 5 hybrid if I can find one; being left-handed it is always harder to find the 2nd hand clubs you want.
Never played a hy, until this year. Wilson d7 hybrid.❤️❤️❤️
I’m not even been playing golf for 6 years and I’m not even 10 but I hit that (hybrid) 110 yards and the driver 174-150 yds, I’m getting (the hybrid 5) for my 10th birthday (I went to a tryout event)
Bruh
Bruh bruh
Have used a hybrid since they came out. Also carry a 3w which I love. Have had Hogan, Cobra, Titleist and TM hybrid.
I love a hybrid, I use 3 Cobra Baffler DWS (2,4,6). I like them so much I have the complete set Cobra Baffler DWS set (1-6). Sometimes I swap my 3 wood out for the 1 hybrid because I can strike the hybrid better from the deck.
I carry 2 (or 3) Adams Super 9031 hybrids. I love them despite their age, I struggle thinking about changing them out.
I use 4-5-6 hybrids and I struggle with my 7-iron, so a 7h I'd like to try. 4 is a Cobra F-max (my rescue club) and my 5h6h7i8i9iPi & Ai are TourEdge HotLaunch3. Cobra BioCell Driver, 3w5w7w are Cobra F8.
I'm a 28 chap but improving. I drive well. Improving approach shots(my perennial weakness), chipping 50/50, putting good.
I'm looking at graduated hybrid sets all the way thru 2-8. Probably trying Warrior Golf and Ping sets later this Spring and Summer.
I've got a cobra baffler 4h from about 10 years ago, it's ace, so easy to hit. New stuff I've tested can't do any better!
When i was looking at driving iron i went for fitting by hybrid worked better as i use it off the tee so results i cant complain about just prefer feel of iron. My tee club is 3 hybrid or 4 iron
I had the Apex 19 for a year and decided to go back to a 5wd - went with the m5 and love it. It’s a hammer.
Honest review. I’m looking at the moment for a hybrid 4, 3 and potentially 5.... I shall have a swing with these....
Did you end up buying them?
If not, why not?
I’m looking at the same additions and would like to know what you found out
@@SecondTimothy224through26 no i didn't in the end, I did hit them and they where very nice. I went for stronger lofted Irons... played with ping G15s, went Cobra Forged Tec. I got the distances I wanted for long par 3s etc with shorter shafts.... my 7 iron is basically my old 5 iron loft, but with a 7 iron shaft.
I have the 4 and I have a sim driver . I hit the 4 220 and the sim driver 280. It's amazing how you hit it the same distance 4/5 shots. Worth it if you don't hit hi irons well
My 22 hybrid is my go to club for two of our long par 3's in the winter. Nice little draws 👌
late 1990s I played with 7 diff woods and a 4 iron, 2000's switched to driver 3 wood and 4 hybrids, now I play, 1357 woods and #4 hybrid, 5 iron thru wedges
I play 3,4,5 & 6 hybrids- really helped my game
James,
You can tell that you have been working, that swing!!!!! Nice. I have been looking for this video. Was very interested in this hybrid, but more than that you gave great detail on the hybrid tech. Thanks!! Compare with Callaway and ping maybe next?
Taylormade fixed hostel hybrids have been SUPERB since the M4. The ONKY problem was the weak atoms shaft, if you can find one with the HZRDUS option they are awesome. I'm currently gaming the m6 with hzrdus after testing it against callaway apex, cobra f9 and Titleist ts and it was much better performing on good and bad strikes than the others
I love hybrid videos! Specially when I’m looking for one to put in my bag😬
Cobra Fly Z 3/4 hybrid set to 19.5 and Cobra Fly Z 4/5 hybrid set to 24.0 degree with the stock VLCT Matrix stiff shaft. They keep doing what I want, very dependable.
Callaway Apex hybrid. I like the compact Adam's style head and lack of hook-inducing offset.
Zach Baker This is way more forgiving than the Apex hybrid. It just wants to go straight. Apex & Titleist hybrids are for elite players.
I currently have a M2 hybrid and am shopping for a new one...was considering the Callaway Super or SIM MAX....would love to see comparison on those 2
Just played this hybrid this weekend. Everything was basically straight and long. Agree that the sound of it is a bit disappointing. A bit of a dull sound versus the crack you hear from Callaway hybrids.
Great video, I’m use the M4 19 degree before that I had the Burner 2.0 19 degree.
I’m Callaway throughout my golf bag but in my opinion I’ve yet to find a hybrid better than Taylormade and I’ve tried a few over the years.
Switched out my 5w and 4 iron for hybrids and haven’t looked back... I would crush my 5 wood ... but on Par 5 second long shots out of rough... enough said... also my 4iron vs hybrid the ease of hitting it made the choice easy... I’m out to have fun when I play....
I don't carry a driver. I don't play enough to keep it sharp, so I hit a Callaway Heavenwood #3 off the tee. I get ave. 230 yrds, but more importantly, I'm on the fairway more consistently than when I hit driver. It's still good, but I'm checking out the new technology to see if I want to switch to a new one. I'll head to my local store soon and let the Callaway Heavenwood take on the challengers.
I play off 8 and a while back had a full bag fit at titleist in St Ives and ended up with 5w, 7w (no 3w) then 3 hybrids at 22, 25 and 28 degrees as due to really low spin numbers I struggled to launch even mid irons, i then has 7 -pw ap3's but thinking of trying an ultra high loft hybrid like the 31 degree sim max to see if more consistent then even the 7 iron (titleist only do a 27 degree hybrid though mines knocked upto 28).
Hybrids/Rescues I am currently using are a, 19* PXG 0317X, 25* M6 and 31* M6
I love my F8 19 degree 3 hybrid. Soo good for punch shots back onto the fairway I can launch it high if I have to. I just get along with it really well
Still using a Sonartec, fantastic and a real blast from the past,and cheap as chips as well ,give em a try
I'm using a ben Ross 4 hybrid bought it after not getting on with my Callaway epic and tried a few in a local shop and just really got along with it
I had a fitting now and bought the new SIM driver and a 3 hybrid. Until now I had a Titleist 915 D3 driver and a 915 3wood which was too long. With the SIM I gained some miles ball speed which relates in some more yards distance.
Titleist 818H1 19* = best hybrid I’ve ever played. Not even close to trying anything else. Nice vid as usual sir
Great video James, i have Taylormade m6 3&5 wood and i cannot hit either 😂 would you prefer the hybrid or the Gapr mid ?
since 2007 i’ve only carried 3 iron 3 wood driver
but this year i took the 3 iron out when i got a new set and went 1 iron 3 wood driver but im thinking about getting a 19 degree hybrid to replace my 1 iron or 3 wood at times
Have a 19 and a 21 degree m1. Love them!
I have the SIM Hybrid 4 , Bridgestone Hybrid 2. I also have the Cobra Speedzone 3 wood and Tour Edge Exotics 5 wood. All are fantastic. I put in bag according to what Golf Course I am playing.. I am interested on you trying it out on the course.
I avoided hybrids for years. Utility irons are a life saver for me. That was until I got fitted for Titleist ts2 hybrid. Absolutely ripped it and bought it. Well on the course it didn't perform nearly as good. Binned and replaced with U510 iron. Much better but at least I tried.
James, I know your off to Harbour Town in April. I don't suppose you can remember the cost of your driver cover?
I’m getting the SIM Max driver on trade in from TM for my M2 driver and 3W. I put this on my wedding registry! 😂 currently gaming the M4
I've got the titleist 818 h1 nice high flight and around 230 yards, after using my brothers f9 hybrid in Spain recently I'm tempted to swop out.
Hey James. Yeah, Rory and D.J. like these and so do I !!! I have several of them. I have tried other hybrids including all of the latest and greatest. Nothing works for me like the Sim Max Hybrids. I like to sweep the ball and these do that well. Dispersion and overall performance have been better than any hybrid I have ever used. Unlike you I do love the looks of them. The sound is neither here nor there to me. Guess that what makes the world revolve though. Different tastes. The Ventus shafts are a big improvement over last years model as well. I liked your review. Its hard to beat the performance of these. Thanks James. Joe
Great video! Getting the 3 and 4 tomorrow. Happy to be a new subscriber!
Have an old Ping i20 20° hybrid and a new Cobra F9 King FW 5w .. afraid to switch out the hybrid because now I have perfect gapping and can shape it. 180-190m with the hybrid and 200-220 with the 5w.
I've got a 5 wood but have Ping 3 & 4 hybrids. Not had 3 or 4 iron in the bag for a number of years now!
I have a 22 degree Cobra One Length in my bag and would recommend everyone that isn’t a single figure handicapper to give it a go. It’s so easy to hit from so many different lies. All my other clubs a regular lengths btw.
I've got 3 and 4 hybrids and 4 iron and 5 wood, all M6. Which ones go in the bag depends on the course and the weather.
I'm about what ever improves my game. Yes would like to see it used on the course.
I am a hybrid person. I use Ping Rapture hybrids which match my irons and I have the 2,3,& 4. 0r 18, 21 & 24 degrees. I also use a 5wood which is a Ping G20. I am thinking of going to the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo irons or the Wilson or Cobra equivalents. I have been considering Taylormade hybrids as they go down to 6 but it would mean changing my irons as I have traditional lofts (34 degree 7iron) and would appreciate some modern technology.
Hi James I have a Ping g 410 no 5 hybrid. It’s amazingly versatile as I hit between 30 and 170 yards ! See what I mean lol 😂
I PLAY A 3-4-5 PING hybrids and lLOVE THEM....my favorite clubs.
I have the 4,5,6 Ping G400 Hybrids. I just posted my head to head video and the results surprised me!
@@golfinginparadise Interesting review, I will try the taylormade when I have a chance.
@@mikereed3287 Thanks! I was honestly shocked. What Ping hybrids do you have?
i have Ping G hybrid, but generally stick with my Mizuno JPX FliHi as long iron replacements.
Test the SIM hybrid against the Callaway Epic Flash and new Callaway Super Hybrid
I swear, over the last year, I’ve improved with fairway woods but I’ve lost ability to swing hybrids. I did get a chance to swing the SIM Max 3wood and it is actually very nice, and I normally can’t stand TM.
Look nice and consistent, could you review callaway super hybrid? I'm high handicap playing golf for fun, could you give me advice wich one most forgiveness hybrid for me?thnx
I have the ts2 hybrid its very forgiving but I'd definitely game that one. Consistency is key
Tested the sim 3 hybrid went straight in the bag over the f9 speedback , absolute fairway finder
Tried a hybrid, will now be replacing mid to long irons. Just keeps the game fun.
I've only ever played irons and never owned a driver or wood. Looking to move some into my bag so thinking of starting with a hybrid and then a driver. Was thinking cobra at first but may look at a 3hybrid of this sim max. Anyone have any help / opinions to offer?
Just got the maverick max 3 hybrid. Love it
Thinking about the apex 19 hybrid do you like the Sim better? Love the shape of the apex.
Still use a Cleveland Mashie 3 hybrid for 190 to 205 type shots and more often than that to hit low shots from out of the trees.
I think hybrids are great. Indeed have replaced my 5 wood with one. And below 6/7 iron hybrids are a great club. I have and love the ts2 21 and May add a 19 degree to it. Tried the mavrik hybrids. Did not like them in comparison. Trying the cobras soon to compare and if I get a change the sims but likely to stick with the titleists. Hybrids also help you to reduce the number of clubs you carry and are reliable for par 3s, varying your strike and with the right one - like the titleists- working the ball different ways.
Always had two hybrids in my bag - a 3 and a 4. Used to be Nike, but ever since the TaylorMade M2 (2017) got released I've stuck with TaylorMade.
I game a Cobra Fly-Z 4-5 hybrid. I find it more consistant and more forgiving to hit than a long iron.
I play 4-6 Callaway XR O/S Hybrids, they work great !
