#### 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 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.
