Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

I have both but q10 is more forgiving than sim 2 ,performance exactly the same
I tried the Qi10 and said right off the start that it felt no different than my Sim 2 Max…..I'll keep my Sim2max. Cheers!
Carbon face is not a good technology. I’ve been surprised how long TM had been beating that drum. Hopefully this will be the video that sees sanity prevail
I have both drivers currently – I do feel Sim is longer but I am finding more consistency with qi10. Since I can hit 300, I will take accuracy over distance. BUT I won’t be selling my SIM driver either haha it’s tough definitely buyer remorse
Never had a Taylor made driver. Is that why I’m terrible?
I've been saying this for a couple of years now. TM's marketing is far better than their recent club releases. Stealth = club face pops out, Qi10= overxaggerated forgiveness. TM would be underwater rn if it wasn't for their marketing
Still using my M2 and convinced its holding its own against anything new on the market.
You're not using a players head on the Qi10. A weighted QI10 LS would lower the spin rate and push that ball out around 11-17 yds more carry. With a correct club path and launch angle, the LS would out preform. You could also be feeling the weighted "10K inertia" in the down swing (22 pounds in imperial units). The weight may be distributed differently based on the design of Taylormades "10K", with some having adjustable resistance levels or additional features that can affect the overall speed.
Rick single-handedly destroying economic models. Love to see it.
Picked up the Sim2 Max about 2 months ago of a mate for £100. He had hit it a handful of times and didn’t get on with it. Best driver I have hit. Would happily pay £250 for it.
Glad I've got the Sim2 max – the very reason I bought it was because I heard so many bad things about the faces falling out on the new TM models
The Sim2max definitely went much straighter
I'm a Taylormade guy but I recently got the Cobra LTDx as a gift and instantly saw an improvement in my game. I would love to see how the LTDx compares to the new DarkSpeed.
Have just purchased one of the sim max 2 drivers and love it, really enjoy3d your review and am pleased I made the correct decision getting one
I have a sim2 (non max version) and just got fitted 2 days ago for a QI10 (also non max version) after watching your QI10 review Rick, you sold me . Have not ordered it yet, but now you got me all confused Rick! Either way I need to change my head from a 10.5 to a 9 (and yes I am aware it’s adjustable) maybe I just get a 9 degree sim2 head on eBay 😂
Yeah but even if you find a Sim 2 you can’t get fitted for it.
Just got rid of my SIM 2 Max for the Qi10, as I thought it'd be an upgrade, but I can't see any difference between the two really (more money than sense) The thing is I lost confidence with the SIM 2, but that was down to my swing, and not the club. Get a SIM Max 2 driver and save yourself £250 👍
Do the stealth 2 Rick
Good to see the channel back, this shows u should try older models to see if it suits ur swing & don’t just buy the new model, great honest review
CHEAP……..£249.!😂😂😂😂😂😂
In my opinion, the best taylormade driver is the glorie plus. Its a combination of the stealth 2 and the sim.
Would love to see this comparison with the other brands too. E.g. Rogue vs Ai smoke
I would buy the SIM even thinking about the mini driver as well. Great vid
I went to a sporting goods store recently and hit the smoke ai, ping 430, and the Qi was pretty underwhelmed and than I last minute decided to hit the Sim2 and I will confirm out performed the rest. I ended up buying the sim 2 and couldn’t be happier. I was very intent on getting the smoke ai and walked out saving 300 bucks. The spin rate ball speed and pattern was better than the rest.
You smashed it with that driver and raving about how good it is but we know you won’t put it in the bag cos you’re like everyone else who wants the new stuff not the better performance equipment
This is hilarious I am still rocking the SIM Max and it is as good as ever
Both the pictures of Rory and Scottie are them using the LST head 😂
So you swung faster with the Sim2 and the Sim2 went further….not sure we are breaking new grounds in golf club research there….Be interested in smash factor, strike dispersion that i know you get on the quad….that would be a much more compelling story than the data you showed. Take or leave.
As you hit more shots, you loosened up more, so yes better results in 2nd club…
It’s not longer drastically, the standard deviations overlap so they’re basically the same
ive had the sim 2 for the last few years i love it
I got hold of one off the peg.£249..its actually performing better than my magic wand..Ping 425..fairway finder extraordinaire…this bat is givin me 10/15 yards..6/12 fairways..the misses still in play, dispersion wise,as good as,,find im going in with a shorter iron….
Clever marketing by Rick Shill keep everything in house. Don't buy the latest outrageously expensive driver but the previously outrageously expensive driver is just as good.
I hit 307 m carry with Qi10 5m off line.
