- We had to sign this super fancy, confidential agreement.
Absolutely no photography
or social media posting of any kind.
- And over the last few months, I have
- Wait, does this count as social media?
(upbeat music)
(golf clubs whipping)
(grinding)
- Welcome back to "What's Inside?", I'm Dan.
- Hi, I'm Lincoln.
- And today we are reviewing
one of our favorite things in the world.
We love golfing. (xylophone chirps)
We love, love, love it.
Did I say love enough?
We love golfing.
- Yes.
- Well, every single year,
TaylorMade comes out with a brand new driver
and this year they have a new driver, it's called the SIM
- SIM dos.
- SIM dos?
- SIM dos.
- Is that the official word of it?
- It's actually the SIM2.
- SIM 2, yeah.
- But it's the same thing.
- They sent us this, they sent it to us in the fall
and now it's January, it's about to come out.
Do not open any packaging until told to do so.
There's four packages, one, two, three, four.
Contents will be returned
to TaylorMade HQ after presentation.
- Wow. - So, after this presentation,
we will be (chuckles) returning these contents back to them.
Absolutely no photography
or social media posting of any kind.
(paper crumples) We're doing it.
We are opening it up.
So today, we're going to see
the brand new TaylorMade SIM dos,
as Lincoln calls it, - SIM dos.
- driver and then we're going to review this driver,
like actually test it out.
Go to our golf simulator, test it out,
see what it's like, get Lincoln's thoughts,
since he's somebody that has been using
the SIM driver for a while. - Yep.
- Now let's see what the SIM2 is like.
(package crumples)
Uno. I feel like we need to say all Spanish words.
- This is - Oh baby.
- [Lincoln] Yes, top of the driver.
- There's the driver right there.
Oh, it's so light.
So the top of the driver, just like last year's driver,
is carbon fiber.
I already like what I'm seeing.
Is that not "What's Inside?" colors?
Blue, light blue, white or gray on there.
Oh man, that is so light.
That is crazy. - Oh wow, yeah it is.
- Okay, there's number one.
I just learned there is this little slit right there,
which means I don't need a dangerous knife.
- Oh.
- Yeah, I do not need - Oh
Yeah lookit, there's a - Oh baby, there is the face.
This is the face of the driver.
- [Lincoln] Yeah, so far looks pretty much the same, I'd say
- Well, it does, except on previous driver, the SIM,
there are two screws right here on the front.
- Two.
- And on this one, they've now taken the screw
and they've moved over to here to the side,
so it's not on the face anymore.
And apparently what that's allowed them to do
is to make the face a little bit thinner.
If you look on the back, I think it's really cool
the way that the machine cut this
and cut some out of the face to make the face super thin,
so you wanna be able to get that ball bouncing.
You wanna distribute the weight on a golf club
in a certain way.
- Whoa, yeah. - Look at the way
they cut that. - That's cool.
- Let's just open all the parts.
- Okay. - Now it's time to build
a golf club, like a little Lego.
Okay, so we've got (chuckles) this part on,
the 10.5 SIM2, which way do you think it goes? Maybe.
Oh that looks like a good fit.
Oh, we are building a driver. - Yes, and then this goes
- If you didn't know, the inside of golf clubs,
I know they're huge but they're hollow inside, like that.
They're just hollow.
This is the speed pocket, right here it's a speed pocket.
So if you look down here,
there's some little squishy stuff right there.
We're putting the two tops that are incredibly thin
and then the back on it.
(fast forward chirping)
(club snaps) - Whoa.
- Oh.
- Okay, so I got this blue part on (chuckles).
This is fun.
This is - Yeah, and this
- the weight that they've put on the back of it.
16 gram.
- There it is. - There is
a speed injected SIM2 driver head,
that we are going to return to TaylorMade.
It is beautiful.
It looks like it was made for "What's inside?".
- I really like how there's not the huge extension thing.
- Since then, they have sent us a box
with a present inside of it.
(upbeat music) Welcome to
the brand new drivers.
- The SIMs.
- This is it.
- I love the new head covers, - SIM2.
- by the way.
Like I really, really like these.
- We have an actual driver.
- Lefty too, lefty. - This is before
they've even been announced and shown to the public.
There are a couple golfers
that used this in Hawaii in Kapalua
but really nobody has seen this.
And so TaylorMade did not sponsor this video,
other than they sent us these clubs for free.
So thank you - So thank you very much.
That's amazing. - for sending this.
It's only a left handed club,
so luckily we have a left handed golfer in here.
(plastic zips)
Oh, that was satisfying. - Yes.
(plastic crinkles)
And we also have a three wood, SIM2 Max, boom.
Is it three wood?
- Yeah, it's a three wood.
- Oh that's nice.
All right, we are gonna go into the simulator.
We're gonna test this out on our simulator.
- Into the sim with the SIM.
- With two. - Yep.
- And Lincoln's wearing the wrong hat today.
- Yeah. (sheep bleats)
- [Dan] Lincoln, this is the shot
that I expect you to hit right here.
(plastic rattles)
- Oh my goodness.
- [Dan] Just like that.
- That was deep.
- [Dan] But with the SIM dos.
Can you tell that Lincoln golfs and uses his clubs?
Look how dirty this is.
This is the SIM, this is the one
he's been using for the last like six months.
What are you seeing that's different?
What do you like? What do you don't like?
- Can't tell the screws, can't see the screws.
- On the face? - On the face.
- [Dan] Okay, let me see that.
- Yeah. Yeah, so there are
those two screws on the SIM
and then the next generation has it
on the other side. - Has it right there.
On the SIM2, there's a lot of carbon fiber,
so I don't think it should get as dirty.
- The actual writing's in metal,
where this one looks like it's just sprayed on there,
like paint that's sprayed on there.
So right now what we're doing is taking off the shaft
of the driver that they've just sent us
because Lincoln has been dialed in,
his own shaft that works with his swing speed.
So we wanna put the shaft that he knows
is perfect for him onto the SIM2.
The more loft you have,
the higher the ball's gonna launch and go higher.
Lincoln has learned that he likes it to have less loft
because if he hits it so high, he loses distance.
He'd rather hit it further and straight
versus just hitting it high and coming down and stop, so.
- Yeah, I usually hit larger cuts or slices
when it's a higher loft, so.
(club pops)
- [Dan] Ooh, that sounded bad.
Did you break it?
- You've never tightened a club?
(laughs)
- I don't know. - That's what you do.
- That is, that's it? - Yeah, then you stop
at the click.
- [Dan] Oh that's scary.
(Lincoln laughs) Whoa.
- It feels more like the TS2, Titleist driver,
and it feels more like it when you're standing over the ball
and it feels like, I don't know,
it's kind of weird but it feels
(club whooshes)
more aerodynamic.
(club whooshes) (ball smacks)
- [Dan] Not bad little lefty.
- 105 club speed.
- That's fast for you.
- I just didn't hit it good.
Like you can tell right
- [Dan] Oh yeah, the first hit on the club.
Where does it, does it show?
He hit it over here on this side.
You wanna hit it right there, as we saw earlier.
Like try to hit it in the middle of the club face.
(club whooshes) (ball smacks)
- [Dan] (laughs) You're hitting it so high
and so much spin.
- [Lincoln] 5000 spin.
(ball smacking)
- If you're somebody that is going to learn how to golf,
you wanna get into golf,
I really, really can't stress enough,
go to your local golf shop.
A lot of times they have hitting bays like this
inside of the golf shop
and the guys - The speed drivers.
are really helpful.
- They'll get you different drivers,
they'll switch the shafts out for you.
Usually don't even have to pay them for that
and they'll let you dial in
and see what club works best for you,
whether it's the driver head, the shaft.
And they do that for free, the local golf shops, really.
Dick's Sporting Goods, some of those shops.
You don't wanna just buy a club they call off the rack,
you just grab it pull it down and hit with it,
because you might be hitting the ball way left,
way right, a little inconsistent.
But if you can really dial in the shaft and the driver head,
which a lot of golf pros
are more than happy to help you with it,
it could really help your enjoyment with the game.
Because if you can keep that little tiny white ball
on the green grass more than in somebody's back yard pool,
then your golf game is a lot more fun.
Take a look at where Lincoln hit the ball.
(Lincoln laughs)
Do you see those lines on there?
We got tee marks.
You definitely like to hit it more on the toe,
a little bit on the toe instead of on the inside.
You did have a couple that you hit on the inside.
- Yep.
- You have a nine degree driver right now
and this one is a 10.5.
So he's hitting it two degrees higher,
so it's launching higher.
- Yeah, and both of them are delofted two degrees.
- But overall you feel like this is lighter
than your other one is what you're saying.
- Yeah, I feel like it's lighter.
I feel like my swing speed's faster.
- They could actually be that the club is not lighter,
it's just the way that the weight is dispersed
and the way that it feels and the aerodynamics of it,
it might just move a little bit faster.
Like the swing speed was actually
pretty close between the two.
- Yeah, it was. - Which was surprising
'cause you felt like it was lighter,
like maybe more balanced.
- Yeah, definitely.
- We're gonna do some more testing.
It's so fun, it's so fun to hit a new driver,
the latest and greatest in technology.
Overall you like it?
- Yeah, it's great.
- I'm not sure when they even sell these things
because this is not, like I said (chuckles),
this is not a sponsored video,
they just sent us a new driver to test out.
TaylorMade, great job with the new SIM2.
- Thank you. - I'm excited to get one
in my bag - Thanks TaylorMade.
- And get tested for it, get fitted, see what it's like.
But yeah, we're gonna go play some simulator golf.
Hope you guys like our golf videos.
- Yeah.
More golf videos.
- I would hit it but this is me, watch this.
- Don't hit the driver, dad, no.
- Ready, here we go.
Tiger Woods. (ball smacks)
I'm terrible left handed (laughs).
I'm not that great right handed
but I'm a lot better than I am (laughs) left handed.
All right, see you guys.
- Bye.
(plastic rattles)
