Product Description
The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver is designed for golfers seeking maximum distance with exceptional forgiveness. A key feature is the revolutionary 60X Carbon Cast Crown. This technology utilizes a lightweight carbon fiber construction that saves weight compared to traditional titanium drivers. The weight saved is strategically redistributed to create a lower center of gravity for a higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits. Additionally, TaylorMade's Inertia Generator technology with a moveable weight track allows for further customization to fine-tune launch and trajectory for optimal performance. While distance is a priority, the Stealth 2 Plus Driver doesn't neglect accuracy. The moveable weight track allows golfers to dial in a slight draw bias to help find the fairway more consistently.
Perfect club for: Golfers seeking maximum distance with exceptional forgiveness.
Key features include:
More Carbon: Utilizes 75-percent more carbon. The advanced application of carbon allows for the redistribution of mass for more forgiveness and stability.
Slidable Weight Track: Golfers can adjust the clubhead's center of gravity position. Shifting the weight can promote a draw bias for straighter ball flight or a neutral setting for more control.
60X Carbon Twist Face: A specially designed clubface with varying thicknesses across the hitting surface, aiming to optimize ball speed and performance, even on off-center hits.
Large, Aerodynamic Head Shape: Offers a bigger sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-center hits. The aerodynamic design generates clubhead speed for additional distance potential.
Premium Sound: A combination of curvature, shape, and internal stiffening ribs to finely tune acoustics, delivering a sound profile that is both bright and powerful.
Similar to the Stealth 2 Plus, the Paradym X prioritizes distance and forgiveness for golfers seeking maximum power. However, Callaway achieves this through their Jailbreak A.I. Technology and a 360° Carbon Chassis. The Jailbreak A.I. promotes stability and ball speed across the face, while the Carbon Chassis sheds weight for a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and forgiveness. While offering distance, Ping places more emphasis on forgiveness with the G430 Max. Their signature movable weight technology allows for customization to promote a draw bias and straighter ball flight. Additionally, the G430 Max features a larger head profile for added confidence.
Progression:
The Stealth 2 Plus Driver takes the distance potential and forgiveness of the original Stealth Plus to the next level. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:
TaylorMade Stealth Plus Driver (2022):
- Introduced the innovative 60X Carbon Cast Crown, a lightweight carbon fiber construction that saved weight compared to traditional titanium drivers. This weight saving allowed for strategic redistribution to lower the center of gravity (CG) for higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits.
- Featured a Titanium body construction.
- Offered Inertia Generator with a moveable weight track for some customization of launch and trajectory.
TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver (2023): Builds upon the foundation of the Stealth Plus by incorporating advancements in forgiveness, performance, and adjustability:
- Twist Face Technology (Enhanced): The Stealth 2 Plus refines the Twist Face technology, offering a wider sweet spot and more consistent ball speed across the hitting surface for even more forgiveness on off-center hits.
- FCT Loft Sleeve (More Models): While some Stealth Plus models offered a loft sleeve, the Stealth 2 Plus expands this feature to more models in the lineup, allowing for greater adjustability of loft and lie angle for a more personalized fit.
What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
PROS:
- Smokin hot off the tee, my distance gained with with S2 plus.
- Great driver. A great feeling and a lightweight head. I love the sound it makes coming off the face!
- Reduction and spin rate coming off the face was nice to see, and it allowed some additional playability.
CONS:
- In my second full round playing with the Stealth 2, the head exploded and shattered into multiple pieces.
- The carbon face is brittle and can’t withstand colder temperatures.
- After about 3 or 4 rounds, the face popped off in the middle of a round.
