What is the TaylorMade SIM Max driver, and who is it for?
The SIM Max was the forgiveness model in TaylorMade's 2020 SIM line — the one aimed at the widest range of players, with a larger footprint and a more stable head than the lower-spin heads it launched alongside.
It is a strong fit if you want a genuinely forgiving driver head and would rather put your budget into a properly fitted shaft than into the newest release. A well-fitted older head will often outperform a current head with a stock shaft that does not suit you, and the SIM Max is the cheapest entry point in our custom range at $199.99.
Available here in 9° and 10.5°. The SIM Max carries a loft sleeve, so loft and face angle can be adjusted after the build.
How much does a custom-built SIM Max cost compared to new?
Custom SIM Max builds start at $199.99. Premium aftermarket shafts are available at additional cost, so your final price depends on the shaft you select on this page.
Both the head and the shaft are pre-owned, and that is where the saving comes from. The SIM Max is also a 2020 generation rather than a current one, so this sits at the entry point of our custom range.
Across our custom builds, the finished club commonly lands at around 50% of what the equivalent new build costs at retail — new head, new aftermarket shaft, fitted and assembled. On an older head like the SIM Max the gap is usually wider still. The exact figure depends on the specification you choose.
What condition are your pre-owned SIM Max heads in?
Every custom club build is offered in three head grades:
Good — clear signs of play. Sole wear, face marks and scratching are visible, and the finish may show wear at the edges. All blemishes are cosmetic and do not affect playability at all.
Very Good — normal signs of play, above average for the model. Light signs of use such as sole scratches and light crown or face marks consistent with a head of its age.
Excellent — minimal signs of play. A clean crown with light contact marks on the sole.
Whichever grade you choose, every head is inspected and authenticated by our team before it goes into a build. The photographs on this listing may not be of the exact head you receive, but please refer to our condition guide and the example condition photos provided.
How long does a custom SIM Max build take, and how do I specify it?
Allow 1–2 weeks for all custom club orders.
You select the loft, shaft brand, shaft model and flex on this page — choose a shaft brand and the model and flex options for that brand appear. Everything you need to specify a standard-length build is on the page.
For any length alterations, email customerservice@thetourtruck.com after placing your order. If we do not hear from you, we build the club to standard length with the shaft you selected.
Shipping is free via UPS Ground from our Southern California warehouse.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an authentic TaylorMade SIM Max head?
Yes. We sell only 100% authentic clubs and club components, and every head is inspected and authenticated by our team before it enters a build.
Are the shafts new or pre-owned?
Pre-owned. Both the head and the shaft are pre-owned, which is why a custom SIM Max build commonly costs around half of the equivalent new build at retail.
How much does a custom SIM Max build cost?
Builds start at $199.99. Premium aftermarket shafts are available at additional cost, so the final price depends on the shaft you choose.
Is a 2020 driver head still worth buying?
For most players, yes — a correctly fitted shaft in an older forgiving head will often outperform a stock shaft in a newer one.
Will the club I receive look exactly like the photos?
Not necessarily. The photos show a representative SIM Max head. The head you receive will match the stated condition grade.
