TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood
The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood is an excellent option for golfers seeking more distance and adjustability. A key feature is the 50g Sliding Weight that creates three fairway woods in one. This weight track allows golfers to control launch, spring, and distance with a few twists of the wrench. Shifting the weight back promotes a higher launch angle while moving it forward creates a lower launch. The Stealth 2 Plus also features a 2-degree loft sleeve for further adjustability. While distance and control are priorities, the Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood doesn't neglect accuracy. The large, aerodynamic head shape inspires confidence at address, and the option for a draw bias design can help golfers who slice find the fairway more consistently.
Key features include:
| 50g Sliding Weight | Adjust 50 grams of weight back and forth within the clubhead via a track system. |
| Inverted Cone Technology | The advanced face design is the thinnest at true center and around the edges. The thicker mantle surrounding center face maximizes speed and enhances durability. |
| Adjustable Loft Sleeve: | Allows golfers to fine-tune loft to optimize launch trajectory and ball flight for their swing and course conditions. |
| Multi-Material Construction | A technical blend of lightweight titanium, carbon, and steel optimizes weight distribution in the 170cc head. |
| Easy Alignment | The advanced laser alignment system stretches across the top of the face, delivering a powerful alignment tool. |

The Callaway Paradym Fairway Wood is forgiving across the face while producing consistently fast ball speeds. Its high launch and mid spin characteristics make it a great option from both the tee and fairway. It also features an adjustable hosel. Among these three options, the Titleist TSR3 boasts the most adjustability, appealing to golfers who desire maximum control over their fairway wood performance. 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 of the Stealth 2 Plus fairway wood:
The Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood takes the Stealth Fairway Wood's distance potential and adds significant adjustability. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:
- Offered a titanium construction throughout most of the clubhead.
- Featured the V Steel technology in the sole, which helped with turf interaction for smoother clubhead passage through various lie conditions.
- Incorporated an aerodynamic head design to promote clubhead speed and distance potential.
- Did not have an adjustable weight track or sliding weight system.
- Most models were not adjustable for loft.
- 50g Sliding Weight Technology: This is a major addition. It allows golfers to move a significant amount of weight within the clubhead to adjust launch angle. This weight track system provides more control over launch than the previous model's V Steel technology.
- Loft Sleeve (Adjustable): Most Stealth 2 Plus models now feature an adjustable loft sleeve. This allows golfers to fine-tune loft for launch and trajectory optimization, which was not possible on most Stealth Fairway Wood models.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| I like the adjustability for the overall spin, just by simply moving the weight. |
| Great Fairway Wood. It gives me a good distance that covers the gap between my driver and Hybrid. |
| The consistent ball flight made me wish I had purchased the Stealth 2 a year ago. I could hit the full range of shots, draws, fades, and straight shots on demand. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| I think the feel and sound are a miss. Not bad, but I wouldn't spend all my money again if I had it to do over. |
| The higher launch and associated loss in distance mean that I may as well hit a long iron for the same distance and higher accuracy. |
| You will need to play around with the 50 gram weight, as the launch can be higher than most low HC’s might like when it’s in the most rear position. |
I like the Stealth 2 Plus because of the weight adjustment on the head, which, if you move it to the front, helps you generate more power. It's not the easiest club to hit, but if you generate a lot of speed, you can adjust the weight based on where you are on the course (either teeing off or in the fairway). This adjustment could make a massive difference if you're a golfer with really low scores.
