Stealth 2 HD

### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Hybrid bridges the gap between long irons and fairway woods, ideal for golfers who struggle with long irons or desire more forgiveness from their fairway woods. Key features include a large head design with a low-profile construction, which inspires confidence at address and offers a bigger sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-center hits. The low-profile design contributes to a lower center of gravity (CG). This lower CG promotes a higher launch angle for more distance and better carry off the fairway or tee box. Despite its distance potential, the Stealth 2 HD Hybrid prioritizes playability. The larger clubhead size and lower CG can help launch the ball on a more controlled flight for stopping power on the green, especially when compared to a long iron. 

**Perfect club for:** A mid-high handicap golfer looking for complete forgiveness on longer shots into greens.


### Key features include:

- **Inverted Cone Technology:** Variable face thickness engineered to maximize ball speed across the face while maintaining conformance and improving durability in each individual hybrid.

- **Higher Launch:** A slightly larger overall profile with a low and deep CG promotes a high launch with easier playability for a wide range of golfers. 

- **V Steel Sole Design:** This TaylorMade technology stays true to its heritage by improving turf interaction and versatility.

- **Twist Face:** Helps golfers overcome inherent mis-hit tendencies for straighter shots.

- **Thru-Slot Speed Pocket:** Engineered to maximize ball speeds and produce additional forgiveness on low-face strikes.

Similar to the Stealth 2 HD Hybrid, the Callaway Mavrik Max Hybrid prioritizes forgiveness and high launch for golfers who struggle with long irons. It features a large head design with a forgiving sweet spot. Additionally, the Mavrik Max utilizes Callaway's Jailbreak Technology, which incorporates internal bars to stiffen the clubhead at impact. The Titleist TSR2 Hybrid offers a compelling alternative for golfers who desire a blend of performance, forgiveness, and adjustability. It features a larger head size for confidence at address and a forged L-face insert designed for a responsive feel at impact. Additionally, the TSR2 boasts Titleist's SureFit Adjustable CG Track System, which allows golfers to fine-tune launch angle and trajectory.

### Progression:

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Hybrid takes the core forgiveness concept of the SIM 2 Max Hybrid and refines it for more distance and adjustability. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:

**TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Hybrid (2022):**

- Features a higher center of gravity (CG) due to the head design and weight distribution. 
- Does not have an adjustable loft sleeve.
- Incorporates V Steel technology in the sole for improved turf interaction.
- Offers a larger head size compared to the Stealth 2 HD.

**TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Hybrid (2023):**

The Stealth 2 HD Hybrid builds upon the forgiveness foundation of the SIM 2 Max Hybrid with advancements in launch performance, forgiveness improvements, and a more streamlined design:

- **Lower Center of Gravity (CG):** Achieves a lower CG in the Stealth 2 HD compared to the SIM 2 Max, contributing to a higher launch angle and better carry off the fairway or tee box.
- **Forgiveness Improvements:** The Stealth 2 HD maintains a large head size for confidence at address. The overall design profile is slightly more streamlined.
- **V Steel Sole Technology:**  This TaylorMade technology remains a key feature. The V Steel sole design in the Stealth 2 HD promotes smoother turf interaction for better clubhead contact, even from uneven lies or rough.
- **Draw-Bias Design:** Similar to the SIM 2 Max, the Stealth 2 HD Hybrid incorporates a draw-bias design to help golfers who slice find the fairway more consistently.
- **Loft Adjustability:** A new feature for the Stealth 2 HD is the inclusion of loft adjustability, allowing golfers to fine-tune loft for launch and trajectory optimization.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- The TaylorMade 2 HD Hybrids are awesome! It's way easier to hit than irons.
- Great club! It's lightweight and forgiving for off-center hits. It increased my average distance by 20 yards over my traditional 3-iron. 
- This is my go-to club for reaching the green in regulation. It has a high loft, a soft landing, and a slight rollout. I highly recommend this club if you are looking for a hybrid.


**CONS:**
- I don't claim to be the greatest ball striker, but even just when taking divots and regular hits out of the rough, there are significant paint chips on the entire club after three rounds of usage.
- I hit under the ball slightly, causing an impact on the upper edge of the club, which left a mark on the club. It seems that the piece is made from a rather soft material that looks like plastic. I'm not very happy. It’s permanent. 
- The club performs okay, but only when one strikes the ball correctly.

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 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.

### 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.

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.
