More Carbon, More Fargiveness
TaylorMade Golf Introduces the Stealth 2 Family
Last year TaylorMade Golf transformed the trajectory of driver technology with the groundbreaking Stealth Carbonwood™ drivers, featuring the first-of-its-kind lighter and faster 60X Carbon Twist Face™. After a strong year, carbon-face driver performance is just getting started as TaylorMade introduces the Stealth 2 Plus, Stealth 2 and Stealth 2 HD drivers.
This is Fargiveness
Building on the speed producing success of the original 60X Carbon Twist Face that optimised energy transfer for fast ball speeds, the new face design in Stealth 2 features an advanced version of Inverted Cone Technology (ICT). The new ICT is designed to maintain ball speed on off-centre strikes and increase forgiveness, or as TaylorMade like to call it: Fargiveness.
The more carbon, the better!
Stealth 2 is the first driver in TaylorMade’s history that has more carbon than any other material by volume. Compared to first generation Stealth, there is a 75 percent increase in carbon in Stealth 2 Plus and nearly double in Stealth 2 and Stealth 2 HD. More Carbon creates more discretionary mass that can be re-located for a higher Moment of Inertia (MOI) and optimal CG location.
Stealth 2 maintains various technological innovations that made the original Stealth driver a powerhouse at all levels of golf.The 60X Carbon Twist Face is encased by a polyurethane nanotexture cover that is used to fine tune launch and spin to optimize total distance regardless of playing conditions. The Inertia Generator remains the foundational source of refined aerodynamic properties. The result is a slippery-fast head shape that aids in swing speed generation on the downswing while retaining high MOI, for golfers at every level.
TaylorMade’s flexible Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ design is engineered to maximize ball speeds and produce additional forgiveness on low-face strikes.
Our engineers obsessed over creating the perfect acoustics with Stealth 2 in order to produce a sound and feel that TaylorMade drivers are known for. TaylorMade used a combination of carbon panel curvature, shape, and thickness to finely tune acoustics, delivering a sound profile that is both bright and powerful
Performance Comparison
STEALTH 2 PLUS
Because of weight savings from the usage of carbon materials, engineers were able to incorporate the use of a 15g sliding weight track designed to help golfers dial in shot shape by shifting mass on the sole to create the desired ball flight. Stealth 2 Plus is the lowest spinning driver in the family.
STEALTH 2
The reconstructed Stealth 2 driver delivers high MOI performance with a heavy 25g tungsten weight positioned on the Inertia Generator. The TSS (TaylorMade Swingweight System) weight is strategically located on the sole to encourage optimal launch and spin properties, delivering complete performance while allowing the driver to be tuned for swingweight in custom. The carbon ring on Stealth 2 and Stealth 2 HD stands out, as it is completely red and visible at address unlike Stealth 2 Plus.
STEALTH 2 HD
Engineers utilised weight savings from the full-body carbon construction to shift the Inertia Generator with its heavy 30g weight closer to the heel in Stealth 2 HD, creating high launch and draw-bias with extreme MOI. Stealth 2 HD is the most stable and forgiving driver in the family.
Fairway Woods
The latest line of Stealth 2 fairway woods clubs continues to feature with breakthrough movable weight technologies and versatile designs.
SPEED WHERE YOU NEED IT THE MOST
Inverted Cone Technology has given golfers speed and performance for years. In 2023, engineers tweaked the recipe to make it even more potent. The advanced face design is thinnest at true center and around the edges, with a thicker mantle surrounding center face. It is made to maximize speed across the face and enhance durability.
MULTI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION
A technical blend of lightweight titanium, carbon and steel optimizes weight distribution in the 170cc head. The advanced construction allows for the breakthrough sliding weight track design, bringing unmatched adjustability to a compact fairway.
EASY ALIGNMENT
The advanced laser alignment system stretches across the top of the face, delivering a subtle yet powerful alignment tool. Placement of the laser-etched pattern allows for a clean and minimalistic look on the crown.
The Stealth 2 Fairway Wood line-up consists of three models: Stealth 2 Plus Fairway, Stealth 2 Fairway and Stealth 2 HD Fairway
STEALTH 2 PLUS FAIRWAY
Features a heavy 50g sliding weight on the sole. This weight allows for three main settings – creating three different fairway woods in one. The middle setting is the most versatile for optimal playability off the deck or off the tee.
STEALTH 2 FAIRWAY
Features a slightly lower profile 3D carbon crown that pushes CG down and pulls mass away from the high toe area, allowing more weight to be positioned rearward for optimal forgiveness and maximum playability.
STEALTH 2 HD FAIRWAY
Engineered to maximise forgiveness and deliver easy playability for golfers at every level. A radical departure from traditional TaylorMade designs, it features an ultra-high MOI construction with an oversized 200cc head.
Rescues
For the first time, TaylorMade is releasing a trio of Rescue clubs within the same family, each designed with a specific golfer and performance goal in mind.
Stealth 2 Plus Rescue features a compact tour-inspired shape that lends itself to enhanced shot making. It combines the control and workability of a long iron with the added forgiveness of a Rescue.
Compared to the original Stealth Rescue, CG is positioned lower in the Stealth 2 head for a more centered CG projection that leads to optimal launch and spin. A mass pad positioned at the back of the club further increases MOI for forgiveness and playability.
Stealth 2 HD is new to the family and utilizes a larger but lower overall profile along with internal draw-bias weighting to deliver high launch and easy-to-hit performance. Higher lofts than traditional Rescue clubs promote better launch and help golfers get the ball airborne faster at moderate swing speeds.
Stealth HD Irons
With the addition of Stealth HD, TaylorMade welcomes a wider breadth of golfers with a more forgiving, easy-to-launch max game improvement option.
Product creationists and engineers surveyed golfers in the max game improvement demographic to understand what they need most. Stealth HD was engineered to deliver performance where these players need it most.
An ultra-low profile head shape in the long irons drives CG lower to help get the ball airborne with ease. Progressive head sizes, meaning that each club is uniquely shaped and gets incrementally larger from 5-iron through pitching wedge, help independently optimize the performance of each iron.
DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS
Engineered to deliver high launching distance with draw bias, the Stealth HD iron has been designed for the golfer looking to hit more successful shots more often.
PERFORMANCE DRIVEN SHAPING
The low profile head has a shallow face height and a wide sole with a large step down to keep CG low for easier launch. Increased sole curvature assists with turf interaction.
CAP BACK™ DESIGN
The multi-material Cap Back™ Design utilizes high-strength stainless steel and ultralight weight polymers. Designed to maximize distance, forgiveness and feel with an extremely low CG.
THRU-SLOT SPEED POCKET
Patented TaylorMade® technology engineered to maximize face flexibility for increased ball speed and forgiveness for mis-hits low on the face.
