TaylorMade SIM Max Irons

These are cast stainless cavity backs with a 360 degree undercut, braced across the rear by a metal Speed Bridge that stiffens the topline. Polymer appears twice, both times internally: an ECHO damping element behind the face and a filler in the sole slot. Nothing here is hollow, which matters because the generation that followed is. Stock sets ship as eight clubs, a 4 iron through pitching wedge, gap wedge included, and the 7 iron carries 28.5 degrees.

Heads are orderable down to a 59 degree lob wedge. Steel builds take KBS MAX 85 in regular and stiff; graphite builds take Fujikura Ventus Blue from senior up. Left-handed players get everything down to the sand wedge. Golfers wanting a bigger shape and stronger lofts should look across at the OS.
