TAYLORMADE STEALTH 2 SHAFT OPTIONS | TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver

[@otomotom1879]

👏👍💯One of the best shaft testing videos on KZbin. Clear and easy to understand information both visual/audio to who are watching this. Hey, at least you know the rock band KISS, right?😅

[@lukesommer4291]

I tested the TSR 2&3 3 wood extensively over the last week. With the 1k black getting over 3500 spin, I switched to the Hzrdous and the spin dropped to 2500 spin. All 70g, X flex

[@jek7011]

TR Red stock for TM is a watered down, ventus name only, non-velocore version. Can you actually do the comparison between non-velo tr red and velo tr red? Let's do it with the same 5s shafts.

[@amalfi460]

Not gonna lie, I had feelings of disgust and disappointment when you said he didn’t know who Jim’s Hendrix is. Now I feel sorry for him plus disgust and disappointment

[@rafabonati7757]

Funny that there was an ad for Acura in the middle of this video where they used music by Jimi Hendrix. And here’s the other weird thing. In 2023, we can still listen to music from 60 years ago playing on the radio as we drive our vehicles. But in 1960, how many of us were listening to music from 1900. So don’t feel too bad, Drew. We should all stay current. I doubt there are many golfers still using equipment from the 1960s!

[@2ndswing]

I appreciate this comment 😎 - Drew

[@PawleyWalnuts]

if you like the Red TR or the Fuji Blue, you should really hit the HZRDUS Blue PVD. Same balanced profile with amazing launch characteristics.

[@joshuak5757]

Good stuff. Wild how much the properly fit golf shaft can reign in dispersion or cause havoc. I gotta start getting fit.

[@seegarsmkr]

I got fit for the Stealth 2 Plus and the best shaft for me was the Kai'li 60s white

[@pushtostart1377]

You really hit it all over the place I don’t really see how this helps anyone. “Feel” is so unique from person to person even if the people have the exact same numbers they could like completely different shafts

[@str8cndian]

I tried a bunch of 60 -70 gram stiff shafts as well as a few reg flex shafts.. and nothing performed better than the Kai Li red 60 S for me.. I paired the shaft with stealth2 HD and traded my F9 in against it.. I swear i'm getting 40 yrds more cause my last shaft was too stiff and had no launch.. I'm excited

[@richardskinner5050]

Great video Drew and Kevin. Have you identified the issue with Stealth 2? It can spin too much even when you centre the face? Is that why Rory and Colin M are reluctant to use the new model? I have the original Stealth and have been considering the change. Not sure if there are any performance benefits in switching to the new model. Scotty S then goes and wins the players championship with the new model. I guess a fitting is only way to find out?

[@davidknight6250]

I’ve been considering the same move. I do this most years. However, the comparison reviews suggest there’s no real gain from Stealth to Stealth 2. Tempted instead to look at Paradym and G430 instead

[@richardskinner5050]

@@davidknight6250 I am with you David. I actually hit my Stealth great at the weekend. For the first time in 5 years I have not rushed out and purchased the latest TM driver. I hit the Callaway Paradym and it was meh. I have never been a fan of Ping, however, all reviews are stating how forgiving it is. The TSR2/3 look interesting and feel great off the face. I might stick with what I have until I have time to go to specialist fitter who has all of the shafts and head combinations.

[@davidknight6250]

@@richardskinner5050 I get the feeling that the Stealth is not very forgiving. Shots can be great or awful with not much in between. I didn’t get on great with Sim either. It was so bad, I ended up swapping it for a Callaway Epic Speed, but decided to give Stealth a go last year, mainly because it looks amazing and my fitting went really well.

[@wallstreetoneil]

I didn't think there was a human alive over age 18 that hadn't heard of Jimi Hendrix - that is truly extraordinary you don't know who he is.

[@2ndswing]

What can I say... I'm one of a kind 😂 - Drew

[@EastbrookProductions]

How do you boys like the Kai'li Blue? Thinking of pairing that up with the Qi10 LS. Great video couple money drives there!! Listen to If 6 was a 9 by Jimi!

[@77bovi]

I would actually like to know the spin range for this head - toe vs heel vs middle as I dont want 3000 spin when I choose to hit a cut and sub 2000 when I err on the toe side for a draw. Nice to know what is supposed to be the higher spinning head isnt that high spin. 2300-2400 is great

[@harveyb4114]

The ventus TR red is not the one with velocore. Velocore is what makes the real one so good. If I could only swing at 107 like Kevin, then this test would be more relevant to me. Anyway, Drew how could you not have heard of Jimmy Hendrix? Have you ever heard of woodstock? I must be getting real old too Kevin.

[@Jddvs]

As I understand it, the Taylormade proprietary shafts are not the same as the shaft manufacturer’s OEM offerings. They do not have the velocore and are made with lower quality materials in order to meet he club manufacturer’s price point requirements. True?

[@GOLFADDICT65]

which of these stock shafts would be closest to the UST PROFORCE V2 HL.....thx....cheers from Canada

[@jlwebbgolf]

The issue with HZ 4G & Kali white is DYNAMIC LOFT. More loft equals more spin, higher land angles & higher launch Why? less vertical face rotation.

[@JRadian]

Should mention that all the other shafts were 60 gram Stiff, except for Ventus TR RED which was 50 gram Stiff. TR Red 60S would have been more similar to others.

[@jumpsmcgee]

I'm 29 and have probably known about Jimi Hendrix since the age of 12 or so. It's not about age so much as exposure to music. Some people aren't into music

[@chbowler11]

Stealth 2+ with a accra tour z m5 for me.

[@BuffaloBarber24]

What flexes did he use?

[@skydiver71903]

Stealth 2 plus with the Diamana S+ and love it. I have such a high launch, have mine turned down to 7 degrees and spin has been perfect and distance, even on miss hits, is 320+. I had a 13 year old stock Callaway driver and was losing so much distance because of launch and spin and when getting fitted this was the best combo for me. It truly is an amazing club. Can't wait for it to get warm and get it out on the course.

[@floridasportsoutdoors4475]

I have same. S+60 flex x shaft on mine. Avg 280-290 carry

[@brettfrimmer6567]

I think the diamana is the best shaft they offer for this club. Especially if you need to get the spin down

[@hbyrdut]

Just goes to show that just because the shaft is supposed to be low launch doesn't mean it will be.

[@mikenapier5427]

Seemed a little bias, the Hazardous was the only shaft he got excited to hit and then hit an extra ball with it because he couldn’t explain the discrepancy in one shot. I was not surprised at the end when he picked that shaft.

[@redphenix1033]

# More Kevin

[@crootham]

What flex?

[@MattyClement69]

bro..... hendrix ????? Really ???? AND SRV ????? Both absolute legends.

[@jimmyReesby]

I jist pulled the Kai li white out of my Paradym X, and put a $48 Integra, regular flex, 50 gram shaft in and hit the ball longer and more consistent. Go figure. Doesn't mean the Kai Li isn't a good shaft. It just wasn't good for me. My swing speed is only 101 mph on average.

[@2ndswing]

Good feedback! It's all about what works for you and your swing. Every golf swing is different, and the guidelines we discuss in the video are not black and white. This is an example. Good stuff

[@jimmyReesby]

Jist? Lol, I suck!🤣🤣

[@jimgriffin4511]

Would prefer to see an average golfer testing rather than a guy who hits it 300

[@michaellaude2066]

Ventus black 6s

[@garydavis8213]

A Stevie Ray Vaughan reference: 👍🏻

[@clw22580]

Lol one of the most famous rock legends of all time no clue time to incarcerate the entire Gen Z

[@2ndswing]

oops 😁 - Drew

[@larryyoung9106]

No Accra?

[@jimhowell4282]

Purple Haze!!!!!! Loooooooossssseeeeerrrrr! LOL Thats like saying you don't know who the Beatles are????

[@spotmfd9431]

Sorry can't watch anymore since you do not know who Jimmy Hendrix is and I am not much older than you.

[@2ndswing]

😂😂😂 I respect it - Drew

[@jlwebbgolf]

Apparently you don't understand how an engine works. At best a golf shaft would equal a drive shaft in an engine. The human body is the engine of a golf swing.

[@callmecamo2]

What kind of heathen doesn't know who Jimi Hendrix was? Tear a corner off your man card.

[@2ndswing]

😂

[@drgrzz]

I like when Kevin is on. He is like me. Decent speed and somewhat of a old fart. But Drew. Not knowing Jimi Hendrix! You must think Twenty One Pilots is classic rock. Just turrible.

[@ludwigdrummer41]

Obviously don't listen to rock n roll!

[@douglaslunsford7052]

My 17 years old knows who Jimmy Hendrix is!

[@CybekCusal]

I just visited a different fitter this weekend and he told me to bend all my stealth irons weak because they aren't spinning enough because of the way they are built. What s drag to buy $1000 clubs from Dick's sporting goods and then have to buy a $400 bender. 👎

[@2ndswing]

Not cool. At 2nd Swing, if you purchase clubs from us, we will make any follow up adjustments necessary for free! So, for example, if you get a new set of irons and realize after a few rounds you have a constant right miss, we can do a follow up fitting and adjust the lie angle accordingly for free.

[@RCGolf]

You know most golf shops can bend them for you? Why would you buy a "$400 bender" and attempt to do it yourself? SMH.

[@CybekCusal]

@@RCGolf get a clue bro. Don't @ me.

[@NEMOx47]

DREW I love you my guy BUT not knowing who Jimmy Hendricks is that's BAD.

[@2ndswing]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm figuring that out now 😂

[@mvansb23]

Yes. It is horrible to not know Hendrix. Shameful really

[@darrylyee409]

Not knowing Hendrix is definitely Loser Level 10! Haha!!

[@2ndswing]

I'm sorry 😂 -- Drew

[@ChrisJackson36]

I’m in the comments, telling Drew he’s a loser haha. Just kidding. But seriously go listen to some good music. Hendrix, Stevie Ray are good places to start. Im only 30. You can do it Drew.

[@2ndswing]

LOL. I'll get on it...Kevin is pestering me about it enough 😂

[@paulaskey1508]

And for more than 40% of golfers who need an A flex shaft ?

[@2ndswing]

From lightest, most flexible, and highest launching to heaviest, stiffest, and lowest launching in the A flex category: UST Mamiya Nanocore, Ventus TR Red, Speeder NX Red

[@dasilnei]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he's too young!

[@azhawk322]

tell the hitter to stop cute non golf talking and hit the ball
