TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Wood
The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Wood offers a combination of technologies designed to deliver long, playable shots. A key feature is the 3D Carbon Crown. This design shaves weight from the top of the clubhead, allowing TaylorMade to redistribute mass for a lower center of gravity. This lower CG promotes a higher launch angle for more carry distance and better overall forgiveness on off-center hits. The proven V Steel Sole technology features a strategically curved leading edge that helps the clubhead glide smoothly through various lie conditions, even in thick rough, or wet fairways.
Key features include:
| 3D Carbon Crown | This weight-saving carbon fiber allows for more mass to be strategically placed in the club head for a lower center of gravity. |
| Lower Center of Gravity | Helps generate higher launch angles, which in turn produce more distance and increased forgiveness on off-center hits. |
| Inverted Cone Technology | Creates a larger sweet spot and increases ball speeds across the hitting surface. |
| V Steel Sole Design | Promotes better turf interaction for smoother club head passage through the ground, especially on mishits. |
| Multiple Loft Options | Allows for customization to ensure optimal launch characteristics and distance gapping within your set. |
| Three Models | Comes in three models (Stealth 2, Stealth 2 Plus, Stealth 2 HD) to cater to different golfer needs. |
Top Competitors
The Callaway Paradym fairway is forgiving across the face while producing consistently fast ball speeds. Its high launch and mid spin characteristics make it a great option from both the tee andfairway. It also features an adjustable hosel, which the TaylorMade Stealth 2 lacks. Among these three options, the Titleist TSR3 boasts the most adjustability, appealing to golfers who desire maximum control over their fairway wood performance. It features an adjustable hosel, a SureFit Adjustable CG Track System with multiple weight positions, and an adjustable face angle setting. This allows for the most comprehensive fine-tuning of launch, spin, and ball flight for maximum personalization.
Progression of the Stealth 2 Fairway Wood
The TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Wood preceded the current Stealth 2 Fairway Wood. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key upgrades:
Introduced a Carbonwood construction, featuring a carbon fiber face for the first time in a TaylorMade fairway wood. This resulted in increased ball speed and distance potential. It also offered a titanium body design.
Maintains the distance benefits of the carbon fiber face but goes further in the forgiveness department. Here's how they achieved this:
- 3D Carbon Crown: Utilizes carbon fiber to save weight, allowing for more mass to be strategically placed in the club head for a lower center of gravity.
- Lower CG: The weight redistribution from the 3D Carbon Crown promotes a lower CG, leading to higher launch angles for more distance and increased forgiveness on off-center hits.
- Refined Variable Thickness Face: Offers a larger sweet spot with increased ball speeds across the hitting surface for longer distances, even on mishits.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Great club. Can align to target line with confidence. Feels good through impact. |
| The club feels good in my hands. It's well-balanced and lightweight. The shaft is perfect for me. It's a beautiful golf club. |
| Flies high and hits straight off the tee. Forgiving but still able to shape shots. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Hands down, the Ping and Callaway were much easier to hit. Their profiles are much shallower than the Stealth. |
| It's not as long as the original stealth fairway wood. This version has too much spin. |
| It's a decent club. I'm not really a fan of the Hozzle. It functions well and just looks a bit funky. |
The Stealth 2 is a forgiving club. It's made for the average golfer or beginner who has money to spend on a quality club. The focus on forgiveness and playability makes the Stealth 2 a good option for golfers with a developing swing who may not always hit the center of the fairway wood. So yeah, it's super easy to hit off the deck, penetrating flight, and has a great launch.
