#### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Wood caters to a wide range of golfers seeking powerful performance from the fairway or tee box. It accomplishes this through a combination of technologies designed to deliver long, playable shots. A key feature is the 3D Carbon Crown. This innovative design shaves weight from the top of the club head, allowing TaylorMade to redistribute mass for a lower center of gravity (CG). 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. Smoother clubhead contact can lead to more efficient energy transfer for increased ball speed and distance potential.

**Perfect club for:** Golfers who struggle with a slice or who are looking for more forgiveness on off-center hits. 


#### 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:** A lower CG helps generate higher launch angles, which in turn produce more distance and increased forgiveness on off-center hits.

- **Variable Thickness Face with Inverted Cone Technology:** Creates a larger sweet spot and increases ball speeds across the hitting surface.

- **V Steel Sole Design:** A TaylorMade staple, this sole 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.

- **Available in Three Models:**  Similar to the driver, the Stealth 2 Fairway comes in three models (Stealth 2, Stealth 2 Plus, Stealth 2 HD) to cater to different golfer needs. Each model offers variations in adjustability, launch characteristics, and forgiveness levels.


#### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Fairway Wood](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/fairway-woods/callaway/paradym-triple-diamond/l406998) and the [Titleist TSR3 Fairway Wood](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/fairway-woods/titleist/tsr3-inventory-api/l318768)


Similar to the Stealth 2, the Paradym Triple Diamond prioritizes distance and performance. It utilizes Callaway's A.I. Designed Jailbreak Technology to promote stability and ball speed across the face for more distance potential, even on off-center hits. Additionally, most Paradym Triple Diamond models offer an adjustable hosel and internal weight system for fine-tuning launch and trajectory. Among these three options, the Titleist TSR3 boasts the most adjustability, appealing to golfers who desire maximum control. 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.

#### Progression:

The TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Wood preceded the current Stealth 2 Fairway Wood. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key upgrades:

**TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Wood (2022):** 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.

**TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Wood (2023):** 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:** This technology utilizes carbon fiber to save weight. This allows for more mass to be strategically placed in the club head for a lower center of gravity.
- **Lower Center of Gravity (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 with Inverted Cone Technology:** This improved design offers a larger sweet spot with increased ball speeds across the hitting surface for longer distance, even on mishits. 



#### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**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, and the standard stock options do not promote speed and distance.
- It's a decent club. I'm not really a fan of the hozzle. It functions well and just looks a bit funky.
