### 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.

### Product Description

TaylorMade RocketBladez Irons are the first of TaylorMade’s iron sets to utilize Speed Pocket Technology. The Speed Pocket flexes at impact in order to increase ball speed and create a higher launch trajectory with a steep and quick-stopping descent. The Speed Pockets are featured in the 3-7 irons and then the rest are traditional cavity back designs. The Ultra-Thin Face combines with the Speed Pocket and Inverted Cone Technology to increase forgiveness across the face and to enable maximum playability and distance. Despite the name, TaylorMade RocketBladez Irons are not blades, but are mid-sized heads with an average topline and offset. RocketBladez Irons come standard with the TaylorMade RocketFuel Steel Shaft and RocketBladez Black Grip.


### Expert Notes

These midsize irons have a generous head size, but not too thick of a top line. Players of all levels can hit these, and will enjoy doing so. Mis-hits seem to come off the face almost as well as a solid shot without losing much distance or accuracy. Speed pockets are featured in the 3-7 iron to really give you that extra boost of distance. Consistency is fairly solid with these too, and the sound is not too loud off the face. Lastly, these clubs are very light, making them easy to swing.

#### Product Description


The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver is designed for golfers seeking maximum distance with exceptional forgiveness. A key feature is the revolutionary 60X Carbon Cast Crown. This technology utilizes a lightweight carbon fiber construction that saves weight compared to traditional titanium drivers. The weight saved is strategically redistributed to create a lower center of gravity for a higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits. Additionally, TaylorMade's Inertia Generator technology with a moveable weight track allows for further customization to fine-tune launch and trajectory for optimal performance. While distance is a priority, the Stealth 2 Plus Driver doesn't neglect accuracy. The moveable weight track allows golfers to dial in a slight draw bias to help find the fairway more consistently. 

**Perfect club for:** Golfers seeking maximum distance with exceptional forgiveness.



#### Key features include:

- **More Carbon:** Utilizes 75-percent more carbon. The advanced application of carbon allows for the redistribution of mass for more forgiveness and stability.

- **Slidable Weight Track:** Golfers can adjust the clubhead's center of gravity position. Shifting the weight can promote a draw bias for straighter ball flight or a neutral setting for more control.

- **60X Carbon Twist Face:** A specially designed clubface with varying thicknesses across the hitting surface, aiming to optimize ball speed and performance, even on off-center hits.

- **Large, Aerodynamic Head Shape:** Offers a bigger sweet spot for more forgiveness on off-center hits. The aerodynamic design generates clubhead speed for additional distance potential.

- **Premium Sound:** A combination of curvature, shape, and internal stiffening ribs to finely tune acoustics, delivering a sound profile that is both bright and powerful. 


#### Top competitors comparison: the [Callaway Paradym X Driver](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/drivers/callaway/paradym-x-inventory-api/l416007) and the [Ping G430 Max Driver](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/golf/clubs/drivers/ping/g430-max-inventory-api/l314276)


Similar to the Stealth 2 Plus, the Paradym X prioritizes distance and forgiveness for golfers seeking maximum power. However, Callaway achieves this through their Jailbreak A.I. Technology and a 360° Carbon Chassis. The Jailbreak A.I. promotes stability and ball speed across the face, while the Carbon Chassis sheds weight for a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and forgiveness. 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. Additionally, the G430 Max features a larger head profile for added confidence.

#### Progression:

The Stealth 2 Plus Driver takes the distance potential and forgiveness of the original Stealth Plus to the next level. Here's a breakdown of the progression and key improvements:

**TaylorMade Stealth Plus Driver (2022):**
- Introduced the innovative 60X Carbon Cast Crown, a lightweight carbon fiber construction that saved weight compared to traditional titanium drivers. This weight saving allowed for strategic redistribution to lower the center of gravity (CG) for higher launch and more forgiveness on off-center hits.
- Featured a Titanium body construction.
- Offered Inertia Generator with a moveable weight track for some customization of launch and trajectory.

**TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Driver (2023):** Builds upon the foundation of the Stealth Plus by incorporating advancements in forgiveness, performance, and adjustability:

- **Twist Face Technology (Enhanced):** The Stealth 2 Plus refines the Twist Face technology,  offering a wider sweet spot and more consistent ball speed across the hitting surface for even more forgiveness on off-center hits.
- **FCT Loft Sleeve (More Models):** While some Stealth Plus models offered a loft sleeve, the Stealth 2 Plus expands this feature to more models in the lineup, allowing for greater adjustability of loft and lie angle for a more personalized fit.



#### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS:** 

- Smokin hot off the tee, my distance gained with with S2 plus.
- Great driver. A great feeling and a lightweight head. I love the sound it makes coming off the face!
- Reduction and spin rate coming off the face was nice to see, and it allowed some additional playability.


**CONS:**
- In my second full round playing with the Stealth 2, the head exploded and shattered into multiple pieces.
- The carbon face is brittle and can’t withstand colder temperatures.
- After about 3 or 4 rounds, the face popped off in the middle of a round.

#### 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.
