#### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Fairway Wood is ideal for golfers who struggle with finding the fairway or maximizing distance from the tee box on longer holes. A key feature is the oversized 200cc head with a low-profile design. This larger clubface inspires confidence at address, while the lower center of gravity promotes a higher launch angle for more carry distance and better forgiveness on off-center hits. Additionally, the V Steel Sole technology helps with turf interaction for smoother clubhead passage through various lie conditions, even in thick rough or wet fairways. While distance and forgiveness are priorities, the Stealth 2 HD Fairway Wood doesn't neglect accuracy. The larger clubface and draw-bias design can help golfers find the fairway more consistently. 

**Perfect club for:** Golfers seeking forgiveness and distance from their fairway woods.


#### Key features include:

- **Oversized 200cc Head:** Features an ultra-high MOI construction and combines low CG projection with an oversized 200cc head to increase confidence and playability. 

- **Lower Center of Gravity (CG):** A lower CG promotes a higher launch angle for more carry distance off the fairway or tee box. A higher launch can be beneficial for golfers who struggle to get the ball airborne easily.

- **V Steel Sole Technology:** A strategically designed sole with increased rounding at the leading edge. This helps improve turf interaction and versatility. 

- **Inverted Cone Technology:** Creates a variable thickness face design. A thinner face in the center and a thicker surrounding area lead to more ball speed and distance potential across the hitting surface.

- **Draw-Bias Design:** The clubface is angled slightly to promote a draw trajectory, which can help golfers who slice the ball find the fairway more consistently.


#### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Paradym X Fairway Wood](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/fairway-woods/callaway/paradym-x-2/l368433) and the [Ping G430 Max Fairway Wood](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/fairway-woods/ping/g430-max/l379779)


Similar to the Stealth 2 HD, the Paradym X prioritizes forgiveness and distance for golfers seeking more power from their fairway woods. However, Callaway achieves this through a Jailbreak A.I. Technology and a 360° Carbon Chassis. 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 on off-center hits. While offering distance, Ping places a strong 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 at address.

#### Progression:

The Stealth 2 HD Fairway Wood retains the core functionality of the original Stealth Fairway Wood but takes significant steps towards increased forgiveness and launch potential. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:

**TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Wood (2022):**
- Offered a more traditional fairway wood design with a slightly smaller head profile compared to the Stealth 2 HD.
- Featured a higher center of gravity due to the head design and weight distribution. This results in a lower launch angle.
- Did not have an adjustable loft sleeve.
- Incorporated V Steel technology in the sole to promote smoother clubhead passage through various lie conditions.

**TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Fairway Wood (2023):** The Stealth 2 HD Fairway Wood builds upon the foundation of the original Stealth Fairway Wood with advancements in forgiveness, launch potential, and potentially more distance:
- **Oversized 200cc Head** This is a significant upgrade. The larger head size offers a bigger sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-center hits and inspires confidence at address.
- **Lower Center of Gravity (CG):** The combination of the oversized head design and strategic weight distribution within the Stealth 2 HD creates a lower CG compared to the original Stealth Fairway Wood. 
- **Draw-Bias Refinement:** The Stealth 2 HD retains the draw-bias design of the original Stealth Fairway Wood, but TaylorMade has refined it for more consistent draw tendencies and straighter ball flight for golfers who slice.
- **Material Advancements:** TaylorMade incorporated more carbon fiber construction in the Stealth 2 HD compared to the original Stealth Fairway Wood. This contributes to weight savings and allows for a lower CG for increased forgiveness.




#### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- Once settled in, the ball seems to jump off the face of the club.
- Great feel and control with these clubs. I used to worry about long fairway shots, but not now.
- Looks, feels great. With twist face, even off center strikes go further and straighter




**CONS:**
- There was a rattle in the head after the first round with club, only used it 4 times at most. 
- I hit a single ball at the range this weekend and the club face cracked from side to side.
- I took it to the driving range, hit 1 ball, and there was a rattle in the club head.
