Stealth 2

#### 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.

Paradym

#### Product Description


The Callaway Paradym Fairway Wood boasts a progressive shaping design to cater to a wide range of golfers. Key features include Callaway's Jailbreak with Batwing Technology, an A.I. designed structure that stiffens the body while allowing the face to flex for maximum ball speed and distance. The Paradym Fairway Wood also features a Forged Carbon sole for exceptional weight redistribution, leading to a higher Moment of Inertia (MOI) for more forgiveness on off-center hits. While distance and forgiveness are priorities, the Paradym Fairway Wood doesn't neglect green performance. The technology that helps generate ball speed also aids in accuracy, promoting a penetrating ball flight that holds its line well in the wind. 

**Perfect club for:** Golfers who want a high launching fairway wood with a neutral ball flight.

#### Key features include:

- **Jailbreak with Batwing Technology:** Stiffens the body of the clubhead for increased stability at impact while allowing the face to flex for high ball speed.

- **Forged Carbon Sole:** Enables weight redistribution for maximized distance and high MOI. 

- **A.I. Designed Face:** Optimized face for speed, launch, and spin across the hitting surface. 

- **Progressive Shaping Design:** The head shape and profile are designed to optimize launch and playability for different fairway woods within the set (typically 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood, etc.)

- **Adjustable Hosel:** The 3W and 3HL models allow players to fine-tune loft (and sometimes lie angle) to optimize launch and trajectory for a more personalized fit. 


#### Top competitors comparison: [TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Wood](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/fairway-woods/taylormade/stealth-2-3/l345130) and the [Ping G430 Max Fairway Wood](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/fairway-woods/ping/g430-4/l322587)

Similar to the Paradym, the Stealth 2 prioritizes distance and forgiveness. However, TaylorMade achieves this through increased carbon fiber content in the crown and their V Steel technology for turf interaction. The 3D Carbon Crown on the Stealth 2 allows for weight redistribution to promote a lower center of gravity for higher launch angles. 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. The G430 Max may be a better choice for golfers who slice the ball more often due to its draw bias technology. 

#### Progression:

The Paradym Fairway Wood takes the distance capabilities of its predecessor, the Rogue ST Max, to the next level. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:

**Callaway Rogue ST Max Fairway Wood (2022):**
- Introduced Callaway's A.I. Flash Face Technology, a variable thickness face designed using Artificial Intelligence to optimize ball speeds across the hitting surface for more distance.
- Offered a titanium body construction.

**Callaway Paradym Fairway Wood (2023):** Builds upon the distance potential of the Rogue ST Max Fairway Wood while incorporating advancements in forgiveness and performance through:
- **Jailbreak with Batwing Technology:** This technology replaces the titanium body with an A.I. designed structure that stiffens the body for stability and allows the face to flex for more ball speed on off-center hits.
- **Forged Carbon Sole:** A lightweight forged carbon sole allows for weight redistribution throughout the clubhead, leading to a higher Moment of Inertia for greater forgiveness.
- **Progressive Shaping Design:** The Paradym Fairway Woods has various loft options with progressively shaped heads to optimize launch and playability for different fairway woods within the set.

#### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- I love this club. It flies high, stops on green, and is a great fit at 145-150 yards for me.
- The Paradym launches at a nice trajectory and does it eaisly. No need to swing hard as the weighting system does all the work. 
- I’m happy with the 3HL. Easy to hit from the fairway, flies straight with good height. Excellent off tee, straight with good distance.


**CONS:**
- My only complaint is the glossy top coat, I much prefer the flat coating on my Rouge.
- Great off tee and fairway...poor in the rough.
- No way around it, Paradym clubs are expensive.

### Product Description 

TaylorMade M4 Fairway Woods deliver straight distance, balanced power, and ultimate performance. The larger footprint and low-profile shape make the M4 Fairway easy to launch for overall playability. The advanced Speed Pocket design combined with Inverted Cone Technology work together to optimize ball speed, maximize distance, and increase forgiveness. The Geocoustic Technology blends geometric and acoustical engineering to harmonize sound and feel at impact. These woods are designed with split internal weights, which allow you to distribute weight evenly between the heel and toe to provide increased moment of inertia (MOI), forgiveness, and greater consistency. The sleek and contrasting crown enable an accurate alignment at address, while the TM Dual Feel 360 Grip provides for an overall great feel of the club. 

### Expert Notes

The M4 fairway woods can be described as one of the hottest and best-selling clubs on the market with Fairway Power Plus ultimate forgiveness. The Inverted Cone design on the inside of the face increases ball speed on off-center hits. It has a slightly larger head than you may be used to, but it is also more forgiving. The speedpocket is still in existence and has a calmer look when it addresses the ball. It is similar to the M3 and has the same head materials, but has a little more spin and a high level of ball speed.

### Product Description 

Callaway X Fairway Woods made their debut in 2007 and feature an X-Sole design that aids in an accurate alignment of the ball at address. The Short Straight Hollow Hosel (S2H2) helps reposition weight from the hosel to the perimeter of the club head, making it easier to hit the ball harder. A lower leading edge makes it easier to hit down under the ball, and provides solid and consistent contact through the impact area from any lie. Variable Face Thickness Technology (VFT) contributes to maximum ball speed and the internal perimeter weighting provides exceptional ball flight, distance, and forgiveness. Callaway X Fairway Woods are known to be long, fast, forgiving, and easy to hit.


### Expert Notes

The X fairway woods are an older model, but they still work quite well and are a solid option.  These woods feel hot off the club face, and have excellent turf interaction. You’ll experience high launch with a solid feel without all the adjustments of loft and lie. All in all, this is a classic club with no bells or whistles. You can play with it the way that it comes, without having to make any adjustments. These offer a smaller head than the current fairway woods that you’ll find on the market, but they still do their job and are an outstanding club. This is a great fairway wood option for a mid-handicapper. You will be able to make an effortless swing and see great results.
