### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Hybrid is a versatile club designed to replace long irons in your bag. It excels in distance, forgiveness, and playability, making it an excellent option for a wide range of golfers. Key features include Advanced Inverted Cone Technology for maximum ball speed and distance, even on off-center hits, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket for more ball speed and forgiveness on mishits, especially on shots struck lower on the face, and V Steel Sole Design for smooth turf interaction. The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Hybrid comes with a non-adjustable head which doesn’t allow golfers to tune in their performance. However, that weight saved from the hosel is used elsewhere in the head to provide even more forgiveness.

**Perfect club for:** Golfers who struggle with long irons or desire more forgiveness off the fairway.



### Key features include:

- **Advanced Inverted Cone Technology:** Varies the thickness of the clubface to create a larger sweet spot, maximizing ball speeds across the face, even on off-center hits.

- **Thru-Slot Speed Pocket:** A channel that runs through the sole of the club behind the face. It flexes on impact, particularly on lower hits, to increase ball speed and forgiveness on mishits.

- **Precision CG Placement:** The center of gravity is strategically positioned in the clubhead to promote a higher launch angle. 

- **V Steel Sole Design:** A wider sole with strategically placed weight for improved turf interaction, helping the clubhead glide smoothly through the turf at impact. 

- **Multiple Loft Options:** Ranging from 19 degrees to 28 degrees or higher, allowing golfers to choose the loft, ensuring proper gapping within the set.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Paradym Hybrid](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/hybrids/callaway/paradym-2/l323008) and the [Titleist TSi3 Hybrid](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/hybrids/titleist/tsi3-4/l177582)


Like the Stealth 2 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. Some golfers may prefer the adjustability features on the Paradym over the Stealth 2. The Titleist TSi3 Hybrid prioritizes a balance of distance, forgiveness, and playability. With the help of an Active Recoil Channel, the TSi3 flexes at impact, storing and releasing energy for more ball speed. It also features SureFit CG Technology, which allows golfers to adjust the center of gravity position to optimize launch characteristics for their swing.

### Progression:

There was a TaylorMade Stealth fairway wood but not a Stealth 1 Hybrid. The Stealth 2 Hybrid is the successor to the original TaylorMade SIM 2 Hybrid. Here's how they differ:

**TaylorMade SIM 2 Hybrid (2021):**

- Offered a titanium construction for the clubhead.
- Featured a Speed Pocket technology designed to increase ball speed on mishits.

**TaylorMade Stealth 2 Hybrid (2023):** Builds upon the distance capabilities of the SIM 2 Hybrid while incorporating advancements in forgiveness and playability:
- **More Inverted Cone Technology:** This refined technology creates a larger sweet spot for more consistent distance, even on off-center hits.
- **Improved Thru-Slot Speed Pocket:** This improved design allows for more face flex on lower hits, resulting in increased ball speed and forgiveness on mishits.
- **Precision CG Placement:** A more strategic CG position promotes a higher launch angle for easier ball flight and better control on approach shots
- **V Steel Sole Design:** This sole design enhances turf interaction for smoother clubhead passage through various lies, improving playability.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- I struggle with long irons, so I settled on this Hybrid. I'm pretty blown away at the shot shaping I can do, even without it being adjustable. 
- This thing is VERY easy to hit high if I need to land it soft. 
- I just recently started using hybrids. I'm now on season 2 with the Stealth Hybrid, and my 4H is my favorite club to hit in my bag. It’s like a rocket! 



**CONS:**
- I was concerned that it wasn't adjustable, but without that, you just have to rely on yourself to create more or less loft.
- For the money, TM should provide an adjustable hosel like the other best-in-class hybrids on the market.
- It goes a little too straight, and I find myself in every bunker on the left, waiting for my fade to kick in.

Stealth 2

### Product Description 

TaylorMade RocketBallz hybrids feature a revolutionary Speed Pocket in the sole to increase ball speed across the face for maximum distances. The Speed Pocket works in combination with the Variable Thickness Crown design to increase face flexion in order to create a higher launch with lower spin and increased distance. The lower and forward center of gravity (CG) also promotes a higher launch and lower spin for maximum distance gains. The shallow head profile and improved sole geometry optimize turf interaction and control. The TaylorMade RocketBallz Hybrids come standard with the lightweight RocketFuel shaft for increased speed and TaylorMade Textured Black/Gold Grip.

### Expert Notes

The RocketBallz hybrid is a super attractive club. It features a white crown, combined with a sleek, compact head shape. In addition, these clubs incorporate SpeedPocket technology, which is specifically designed for faster ball speeds, higher launch and lower spin rates. It also has a very lightweight shaft, which happens to be one of the longest hybrid shafts on the market. The new sole pocket is deep, which increases the face flexibility and in turn creates more ball speed. It serves as a great club off the tee for shorter Par 4’s, as well as in the fairway. The RocketBallz hybrid is a fun club to hit, and will help you achieve your longest hybrid hits to date.

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.




### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Mavrik Max Hybrid](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/hybrids/callaway/mavrik-max-7/l297025) and the [Titleist TSR2 Hybrid](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/hybrids/titleist/tsr2-3/l323024)


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.
