TaylorMade SIM2 Rescue Review
The TaylorMade SIM2 Rescue offers golfers something a bit different when it comes to a hybrid club, with input from Tour players Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy aiding the design process.
Striking quite a compact pose at address, we really liked the iron-like profile of the SIM2 Rescue, which is designed to suit the eye of the better player. However, despite its compact look, this is still a surprisingly forgiving club, which we found to be a versatile option in the bag. Whether it is used off a tee on long par 3s, or out of the rough as we were making our way up a par 5, it is a superb performer.
Featuring TaylorMade’s proprietary Twist Face Technology – which help mishits from the toe or the heel – and Speed Pockets, it helps increase ball speed even on low-face mishits, making it one of the most forgiving hybrids on the market.
We could really feel these two technologies working hand in hand during our testing, wit the SIM2 Rescue producing some impressive numbers on the launch monitor. It also felt workable and fast out on the range and golf course.
During testing, we used a 19.5° model and it produced an impressive 217 yards of average carry – figures that were longer than some other hybrids with stronger lofts. While ball speed wasn’t as fast as some other hybrids we tested, it felt very hot off the face and produced an impressive, penetrating ball flight.
There are three lofts available and each one comes with plenty of adjustability, allowing you to go +/- 1.5˚ to your preferential loft depending on the ball flight you want to see. This makes it a great option for someone who is looking to fill a very specific position in the bag and also makes it one of the best golf hybrid clubs on the market.
Overall, the SIM2 Rescue is a fast, penetrating and compact hybrid more suited to the better player who wants to be able to really work and shape their shots – TaylorMade has the option of the SIM2 Max, which offers more forgiveness and a higher launch…
