#### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Driver prioritizes distance and forgiveness for golfers seeking maximum power with added help finding the fairway. A key feature is the revolutionary 60X Carbon Cast Crown. This innovative 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 (CG) for a potentially higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits. The standard draw bias design with a moveable weight track also allows further customization to promote a straighter ball flight. While distance is a priority, the Stealth 2 HD Driver doesn't neglect accuracy. The draw bias design and moveable weight track help golfers find the fairway more consistently. 

**Perfect club for:** Golfers who prioritize distance off the tee and forgiveness on off-center hits



#### Key features include:

- **60X Carbon Cast Crown:** Replaces the titanium crown found in many traditional drivers, redistributing the saved mass to create a lower center of gravity. 

- **More Carbon:** Features nearly twice the amount of carbon fiber construction, contributing to the lightweight design.

- **Draw-Bias Design:** Helps golfers who slice the ball find the fairway more consistently.

- **Moveable Weight Track:** Allows golfers to adjust the clubhead's center of gravity position further. Shifting the weight towards the heel promotes a stronger draw bias for even straighter ball flight.

- **Large, Aerodynamic Head Shape:** Inspires confidence at address and offers a bigger sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-center hits. 


#### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Paradym X Driver](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/drivers/callaway/paradym-x-inventory-api/l416007) and the [Ping G430 Max Driver](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/drivers/ping/g430-2/l322398)


Similar to the Stealth 2 HD, the Paradym X prioritizes distance and forgiveness for golfers seeking maximum power. However, Callaway achieves this through a combination of 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 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 HD Driver takes the forgiveness and launch characteristics of the original Stealth HD to the next level. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:

**TaylorMade Stealth HD Driver (2022):**
- Introduced the 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 for higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits.
- Featured a titanium body construction.
- Offered a draw-bias design to help golfers who slice the ball find the fairway more consistently.
- Did not have an adjustable loft sleeve (in most models).

**TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Driver (2023):** The Stealth 2 HD Driver builds upon the foundation of the original Stealth HD with advancements in forgiveness, adjustability, and potentially more distance:

- **More Carbon Than Ever:** Compared to the original Stealth HD, the Stealth 2 HD incorporates nearly twice the amount of carbon fiber throughout the clubhead construction. This extensive use of carbon fiber allows for even more weight saving and strategic mass redistribution for an even lower CG and more distance.
- **4-degree Loft Sleeve:** This allows golfers to fine-tune loft (and lie angle) to optimize launch trajectory for a more personalized fit and more control over distance.
- **Draw-Bias Refinement:** The Stealth 2 HD retains the draw-bias design of the original, but TaylorMade might have refined it for more consistent draw tendencies and straighter ball flight for golfers who slice.


#### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- I'm 81, and this driver with the senior shaft has totally eliminated my fade and increased distance 20-25 yards on off center hits. 
- This is the most consistent and longest driver I have ever played. It’s at least 10 yards longer than my previous driver. Super easy to hit.
- This driver is by far the most forgiving and the feed back is unbelievable.


**CONS:**
- The feedback from the face feels terrible. Every shot on the face felt identically dead. 
- The club seemed to play a little longer than the actual length, maybe because of the increased swingweight. So it seemed a bit harder to square up than the Sim2 Max I had before. 
- There's less audio feedback than with titanium heads (good and not-so-good shots sound the same).
