- WHICH IS THE BEST FITTED DRIVER!? TAYLORMADE SIM vs TITLEIST TSi3...THE ULTIMATE COMPARISON!!! 2020 has seen the launch of some fantastic drivers... notably recently we have seen the new 2020 Titleist Drivers come to the market, the Titleist TSi2 and Titleist TSi3 Drivers... but how does a fitted Titleist TSi3 compare against a fitted Tailor-made Sim driver? which is the best driver of 2020? which is the longest driver of 2020? what's the best driver for mid handicap golfers? should you buy a new driver? do you need a new driver? in this video we take both drivers out on the golf course for a head to head and then also test them in the studio looking for numbers... let's do it... and let's do it now!
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
James, you're asking what I prefer, I really like your every day clips being something different than the day before. I really enjoy that if one day you are "inside", the other you are "on the course". If one day you are serious, the other you are joking around. I am watching you channel daily, often from work, for about 3 months now and it can't be boring. What is important is that your clips are mostly less than 30 minutes long so they can fit perfectly into one midday break during mine work. Cheers!
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!
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
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!
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!
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...
For comparisons love the fact you demonstrated both course and studio shots...keep that up
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.
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!
Good idea Tim, I’ve done this in the past but then thought “you only get one shot” when you play kinda thing
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.
Thanks buddy!
How do you add shot tracer to a video? I wanted to add it to mine.
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
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.
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 😍😍🔥🔥
I'm probably putting the tsi3 on the bag. You need Chris with you his humor feeding off of you is incredible!
Changing my driver from TM M1 to a PXG gen 2 0811 XF this Fall. Cant wait to get it in my bag!
I enjoyed the format, on course & in studio. Well done, James.
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
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
Watching now! I’m looking forward to seeing your honest opinion on these 2 drivers!
Will comment more after I’m done watching!
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
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
Keep up the good work James lad
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 !
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.
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.
Yes enjoyed the outside and inside test, good way to really see how the different clubs stack up against one another.
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.
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.
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.
Always prefer outside, real world conditions. Like the shot tracer a lot! Keep it up y’all!!
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.
Tsi3 all day for me. I just bought one and compared to the stealth thw tsi3 dominated on all levels and got backspin around 2300 for me.
Your are great inside or outside. Enjoy you videos in either location.
Appreciate you John
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
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!
Like the idea of course then in doors. Not to worried about length. Cgeers James
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 😂
Got the SIM and won’t be changing anytime soon!!! When hit well nothing else I’ve tried comes close, plus I think it’s the best looking driver on the market!
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
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!
love the format...on course is so vital but the numbers don't lie.
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!!
Good approach buddy. Indoor and on course works. Keep up the good work.
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
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.
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
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 👏👏
Keep doing the on course test and then indoor test. 👍🏼
Need to have a go of the titleist
“If that’s not worth a like, I don’t know what is.” Pressed the like button with a little guilt because the tracer is pretty bad ass.
I played a TS3 all summer.My golf partner bought a Sim and we both use a Hazardus yellow shaft. My skycaddy said I was 3mph faster and 12 yards longer with my titleist when testing both..I was very surprised but that's golf..I don't think I'll be getting the TSI anytime soon..Different reviews have said it might be 3 to 5 yards longer than the TS3..thats not worth $750 to me..
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
Every time the heads hit together when you were holding them in the studio a little piece of me died
Very good review James. Really liked the way you done this one.
Great format James I didn't just skip to the numbers!
Didnt ask?
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
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
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 😂
Love one long video with both in and outdoor mate!
I like this format ....outside comparison
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 😁😁💪💪
I picked up a SIM Max D. My first new driver in over a decade.
Keep the tests as they are please 👍
Yes, both inside and outside
As always though enjoy the content and delivery. P.S. love grumpy Chris !!
3 shots in the rough vs 3 shots not great but fairway-ish and/or playable. Give me the forgiveness. (I play TS3 currently; maybe time for a change.) Thanks for the "Friday Nuggets"....
This format is great, where you go outdoors and indoors 👌
I like the outside / inside split. Looks like the SIM, TSI, Maxrik and Ping all perform very similarly when fit
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
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.
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.
Real shots are great. Simulator/studio is great but not real life. I currently game a mizuno GT180. I have tried the Sim, but my club pro thinks the TS3 will suit me better. Hoping to try that soon. I have also tried the Mavrick but not a fan of how it looks at address.
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.
Outside and inside works perfectly. As long as you have shot tracer, of course.
Good to see a test where you have to shape your drives. The TM seemed more forgiving but the TSi better out the middle
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.
James, I prefer you to test clubs in the studio, because it takes the environment out of the equation. An average of 10 shots with each club, you're going to get a good comparison. Your on course shots were influenced by weird bounces twice, you don't get that inside. JM2PW. And for you, SIM is best by a little mile. 🤔⛳👍
The course review 1st and then the indoor range review is the better way to go. Course feel is more important for real life feel. Inside feel is better for #s.
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.
James I have the Big Bertha B21. I love it and will be staying with it. Fox should try it.
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.
You may think I'm crazy. I own a old talyor mader5 driver it is hands down the best driver I ever owned. I have tested the Sim driver. The ball comes of way better and sounds so amazing coming off the face of my r5 go figure lol 👍
The full review as you have provided is good for me.
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
This was a good test because you had reality and also the numbers
Glad to see I’m not the only one with tee marks on my sim face
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 🤔
Stop talking about inch out and premature in the same sentence. Gets my anxiety going
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.
Good video! I'll be looking to upgrade my M4 to a Sim this off season!
Great video James love the course and inside reviews👍Taylormade might have a new driver out before Christmas though 🤣
Nice video. I like when you do indoor and course comparisons for the same clubs.
Where's the golf ball 16:11 (there's a pile of them behind you, unless it's down the left side of the simulator..!) PS loving the pix ball, have now played 72 holes without losing one, that's a win...!
Keep the new Titleist, and you can send me the SIM to test. 😆... Good video I enjoyed the format
TXG just completed a video testing four major drivers and there was no clear winner. As you have stated, it's all down to a fitting and what is best for the individual golfer.
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 👌
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
love out on the course testing!
Loved the outdoor indoor idea keep it
This format is great!
good vid. I hate watching all the shots indoor that so many do. Nice that you fast forwarded. Not much between any of the top drivers I suspect. The titleist would win for me purely down to nthe fact I know the Taylormade will not last a year before its replaced. Oh I dont like that odd fin thing on the bottom :)
Great format on course and indoors backing actual play with data ,,,👍
