TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Woods | The Swing Report

[@wallstreetoneil]

I just demoed both the 13.5 and the 15 Stealth Plus with the 6.5x HRZDUS Red shaft. Unlike Thomas, I don't hit the ball low in the head, which promotes more spin - I'm more of a mid to high in the face hitter as I also like to use the club as a tee club. This is an extremely low-spin head if you hit higher on the face - to the point that it can become un-gameable and create divey draw balls - I was getting many a shot with spin in the 1600-1700 range. I currently use a 13.5 Callaway Epic Subzero head, the heavy weight at the front, and lofted to 14.5 for my slightly drawy 3-wood - and also as a tee club - in that config, it produces nice flat 2800 spin 245 yard carries that also run. I play my Callaway shorter at 42.5" - the stock Stealth is 43.25". I was seeing 10 yards more carry - but it was all from lower spin - more carry is nice but I found it semi-dangerous as it could go a little left when the spin dropped (you could see this in Thomas' shots as well).

Gotta see these against the G425’s

[@jaycee1192]

can you guys test the HL versions of some 3 woods?

[@SvingitGolf]

Which loft did you use for the 3 woods? I could see the Rocket (13.5*) as a mini driver. Set it down to 11.5* and watch that ball fly.

The Dianamic Dueo, Thanks guys good stuff, of course Thomas the most efficient Golfer I've seen , Awesome job, idk I'm totally a traditional type of guy I have the 3 and 5 wood in the bag Talyormade sim2 Ti ,why I don't know lol everytime I hit a 3 or 4 hybrid I say what I'm I doing with fairway woods in the bag I must be thinking in the wrong way ,, your hitting a hybrid your not a real golfer if your not hitting fairway woods lol , I think the 7 wood and 3 hybrid are going in the bag this year , ill split the decision, and you know not enough is said about a good 7 wood ,,unbelievable club for me !! picked up the Callaway epic speed 7 wood ,, killer club!! Anyway Thank you guys Awesome review and how can you beat this new line by Talyormade Stealth ,,come on ,hard to beat really!!

[@Lou0830]

Can you provide details on which golf ball you used during this test, please. I wonder what the prov1 ball would produce on the stealth as far as spin rate, carry and over all distance and what your spin rate, carry and total distance would be using the pro v1x on the stealth plus. Would the height and carry be closer in comparison?

[@rafabonati7757]

I really like the look of the Stealth clubs and I think the carbon face is likely the next phase for golf. I wonder if there will be carbon irons next?

[@jimecherry]

these dont have carbon faces though :{

[@rafabonati7757]

@@jimecherry - Yes, I was just referring to the driver, (which I didn’t make clear), but wondered what they have planned next.

[@stephendibari5010]

Awesome comparison! Would be good to compare these against the SIM and SIM 2 models, I have SIM max 3 and 5 woods and I love them. Definitely the best fairway metals I’ve ever used. Always great to see your comparison videos, this one especially cause I’m sitting home after having total hip replacement surgery this past Tuesday. I like the new format

[@Ader03A]

What I liked about the SIM Ti v1 3-w was that I kept the spin numbers rather high, +3000 for me. A 3w for me is all about control, not producing a sudden knuckleball that runs 20-30 yards extra into waters/rough/woods etc.

[@GOLFADDICT65]

hi the new stealth 2's just came out...... which would you choose between the standard stealth 3HL ( 4 wood ) or the new Stealth 2 3HL.....your thoughts ? also want to get a 7 wood and a 5 Hybrid........ which do you suggest stealth or the NEW Stealth 2's........ 58 years old...90-94 mph driver speed...regular shaft....thx cheers from Canada

[@Ready_Golf]

Did you get a review for the 3 wood HL stealth

[@thomaswhitcombe7236]

Hi guys, I have just purchased a stealth plus titanium 3 wood 13.5 degree. It’s looks super but there is a tiny small hole in the middle of the clubface. I have seen a few of these tiny holes on other 13.5s but none on the 15 degree models. Do you know if the 13.5 comes with a tiny hole in the face? Write back thanks

[@BEAN9999]

I just checked mine for you, and I have no holes at all in mine. Did you get yours from a reputable taylormade saler? Try putting a magnet to the face, I don't think a magnet sticks to titanium.

[@jimsmith1125]

Awesome review guys thanks.

[@lawbinson]

Is it really legal if it’s consistently over 1.5 smash?

[@SvingitGolf]

That is just for drivers what I know. FW has no restrictions.

[@georgewalt8]

I question will Taylormade make a 5 wood in the Stealth series?

[@2ndswing]

Yes. There is a Stealth Plus (19*) and Stealth (18*) both are 5 woods - Thomas

[@richardbrelsford5738]

Great review chaps; interested to see what your opinion would be of a Stealth 5 wood with 7 wood length shaft; for control ?

[@bubbajones1035]

May as well use the 3 wood to tee off.

[@hbyrdut]

Which one has the deeper face?

[@Gatorgolfusa]

STEALTHY! 🐊🏌🇵🇷🦅👍

[@ernestolupercio3168]

I got the stealth titanium omg it’s a bomber. Feels better and sounds better than sim 2 ti.

[@2ndswing]

Thanks for your feedback! Thomas

[@paulmcgee1867]

How do they explain that these are not carbon faces? Seems pointless. In any case they remind me of Srixon.

[@jimecherry]

agreed i thought stealth meant carbon face but since these and the irons dont have any extra carbon stealth just means 2022 model

[@scottlast4241]

Yeah, rather disappointing that they didn’t use carbon faces on these. Wondering what the thinking was behind that?

[@coryarmstrong9217]

Maybe carbon and turf interaction would cause quick wear and tear?

[@lawbinson]

rocket vs mini driver? lol

[@johnthemachine]

Meh. Nothing has changed in FWs since maybe 10 years ago. I might pick up the titanium wood if my current gamer cracks.
