### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Hybrid bridges the gap between long irons and fairway woods, making it ideal for golfers who struggle with long irons or desire more forgiveness from their fairway woods. A key feature is the sleek, Tour-inspired shaping for enhanced shot control and workability. This compact design delivers an iron-like feel and control at impact, while the built-in forgiveness of a rescue club inspires confidence. The innovative V Steel Sole in the clubhead promotes smooth turf interaction for better clubhead contact, even from uneven lies. While control and accuracy are priorities, the Stealth 2 Plus Hybrid doesn't sacrifice distance. The C300 steel face is designed to generate explosive ball speeds across the hitting surface for long, penetrating shots. Loft adjustability allows golfers to fine-tune launch and trajectory for optimal performance. 

**Perfect club for:** Golfers who want a more forgiving club compared to their long irons.



### Key features include:

- **Thru-Slot Speed Pocket:** Maximizes ball speeds, and offers added forgiveness on low-face strikes.

- **Inverted Cone Technology:** For variable face thickness to maximize ball speed across the face.

- **C300 Twist Face Design:** Helps overcome inherent mis-hit tendencies for straighter shots.

- **Adjustable Loft Sleeve:** Provides +/- 1.5° adjustability and personalization.

- **V Steel Sole:** This design improves turf interaction and versatility.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Paradym Hybrid](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/hybrids/callaway/paradym-2/l323008) and the [Titleist TSR2 Hybrid](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/hybrids/titleist/tsr2-3/l323024)


Similar to the Stealth 2 Plus Hybrid, the Paradym Hybrid prioritizes distance and forgiveness. However, Callaway achieves this through their Jailbreak A.I. technology. This uses artificial intelligence to design an ultra-stable titanium chassis for maximum ball speed. Among these three options, the Titleist TSR2 Hybrid boasts the most adjustability, appealing to golfers who desire maximum control over their long iron replacements. 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:

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Hybrid takes the forgiveness foundation of the Stealth Plus Hybrid and refines it for more control and workability. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:

**TaylorMade Stealth Plus Hybrid (2022):**
- Offers a larger hybrid head design compared to the Stealth 2 Plus. This resulted in a higher moment of inertia (MOI) for forgiveness on off-center hits, but also sacrificed some feel and workability. 
- Has a higher center of gravity due to the head design and weight distribution. This resulted in a slightly lower launch angle.
- Did not have an adjustable loft sleeve.
- Incorporated V Steel technology in the sole for improved turf interaction.

TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Hybrid (2023): The Stealth 2 Plus Hybrid builds upon the forgiveness of the original Stealth Plus Hybrid with advancements in control, adjustability, and distance:
- **Tour-Inspired Shaping:** This is a significant change. The Stealth 2 Plus adopts a more compact head design than the original. This caters to golfers who prefer an iron-like feel and control at impact.
- **C300 Steel Face:** While both hybrids utilize a steel face, the Stealth 2 Plus incorporates high-strength C300 steel. This advanced material is strong and flexible, promoting faster ball speeds and more distance across the hitting surface, even on off-center hits.
- **Loft Adjustability:** An adjustable loft sleeve allows golfers to fine-tune loft for launch and trajectory optimization, leading to more controlled flight and distance depending on course conditions.
- **V Steel Sole Technology:** This TaylorMade technology remains a key feature. The V Steel sole design in the Stealth 2 Plus promotes smoother turf interaction for better clubhead contact, even from uneven lies or rough.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- Super easy to hit and just an awesome club. It's a game-changer in my bag.
- Due to my downward attack angle swing, I find this Hybrid easier to hit than a 3 or 5 wood.
- I like the weight in the head. It helps with hitting out of the rough and not having to make a big swing.


**CONS:**
- I don't love the carbon crown appearance on this club. I would've preferred the smooth look, but the club performs well.
- I like this club but have struggled with consistent contact.
- It's pretty pricey, and it already has some cracks after just a few rounds.
