With the introduction of the 2020 SIM family, TaylorMade have literally reshaped the way you look at driver technology.<\/p>\n<p>A powerful new asymmetric sole shape is engineered to increase clubhead speed and reduce drag through improved aerodynamics at the most critical stage of the swing. From the company that brought you movable weight technology, non-traditional crown colouring for advanced optics and alignment, and the first-ever metalwood in 1979, TaylorMade have again disrupted the conventional driver design. With SIM, SIM Max and SIM Max\u2022D, the new shape of performance has arrived in golf!<\/p>\n<h3>Adjusting SIM<\/h3>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Adjusting the SIM family is simple with the TaylorMade torque wrench.
