THE DRIVER NOBODY REVIEWS........ BUT THEY SHOULD!!

[@adampace2775]

Good review Lee! Nice to see the draw bias drivers being reveiwed! Instead of all the you tube pros saying I’m not going to review that as it’s not for me!! 😂

[@banditbaker1675]

I must admit that it annoys me that most Reviewers don't test the Draw biased driver options (because it doesn't suit their swing), even though the majority of Golfers actually need the driver that isn't being tested! So RESPECT for testing what the Golfing community needs👍👍 Personally, I thought that the SIM & SIM2 were far too flashy and I prefer the Stealth because it is relatively understated. So as you say, "it's all down to personal taste".

[@LWG]

Exactly mate each to there own. Thanks for the feedback much appreciated

[@etherblitz4796]

Just a heads up everyone. I got my stealth today and do not use plastic tees in a indoor sim. It does make small tee head dents in the face.

[@theKOOP4773]

Lee, late comment, but really appreciate the review as others have said. I'm a mid handicap, draw 6 iron down.... but the moment I get beyond a 5 wood in length, I'm left to right and the big slice creeps in too often. I sometimes feel like I'm alone in the demographic of people who want to play golf semi-competitively but struggle with the right side. So helpful to have you do these reviews. Even when others do it, they just hook balls and say how it's not meant for them. Thanks again!

[@franksfiddle9031]

So refreshing to see someone focussing on getting it in the fairway and sacrificing the massive length. Like the look of Dartmouth GC too

[@LWG]

Great course mate

[@w.trunks2472]

So true that nobody reviews the draw version. I’ve never used a draw driver currently use f9 cobra but tend to go right just bought a sim 2 max d and I’m finding that even if I do go right it’s only just in the rough not the trees like my cobra

[@richbyett6791]

Great to see the draw biased version reviewed as someone who tends to lose the ball right more often than not. Need to get myself a test of both the stealth and the new rogue I think. Hope the new job goes ok too 👍

[@mitchelldecoste9330]

I actually tested the Stealth HD this weekend on 2 different rounds. I have my order in, I really enjoyed the results. I have never had a top-tier Driver but the gains in the distance are a major factor for me. The fact that I only sliced 2 balls all weekend with the HD drastically improved from my regular game. Can't wait for my HD to arrive.

[@pgpchappers]

2 things. Firstly good luck tomorrow and with the new job Secondly, you must know about all the custom colour options you can get with the Stealth to make it as bright as you like...

[@LWG]

Yeah but that adds quite a lot of cost. The standard is just a bit plain for me. Very not taylormade

[@bennycase8473]

Thanks, Lee! Seems most everyone is reviewing the tour player version of everything, because they are Pros. Truth is that their testing for 0.01% of the population. The rest of us are just regular Joe's! We need clubs that suit the game of regular Joe's. Well Done!!! 👌

[@akrickm1]

Thanks Lee had really hoped someone would address the HD so many forget us slow swinging players, older and high handicap people.

[@mikemcgowan1]

Nice review there lee. I agree this is the club a fair few golfers would go for, I know I would as I'm a "overhappy" fader with the driver so this would probably suit me. Think these sort of clubs should get more reviews.

[@roshandon6741]

Thanks Lee, there is nothing more annoying than KZbinrs disregarding a driver targeted at the majority of their audience. Kudos

[@brianmurray4199]

Great review because you went into it very unbiased even though you love your sim2 when Shiels compared it to his driver from the beginning he kept saying I don't feel confident and we all know that lowers your chance of hitting a good shot. The famous eagle by Lee in the trees golf?😁

[@markhilton4920]

The new pad looks good with some cracking views 👍 If you have a driver what is 2 or 3 years old cannot see the point of changing

[@LWG]

The main benefits are improvements in forgiveness as opposed to distance

[@milesotway4466]

Agree on the draw bias being a good fit for most. Mizuno ST-X for me. Just hit it better than the ST-Z which is the non draw version when i got fitted. Doesn't spin up too much either

[@danielcohen3159]

Great job, Lee! I've been hoping someone would test these two. Most reviewers ignore the D-type drivers, and head straight for the "pro" type, smaller head, low spin drivers, which is a shame. So it's good to see this. Would love some LM data, but I have a feeling there wouldn't be that much to separate them, really. I hit the regular Stealth and it didn't impress me, really. It was fine! But I'm going to try the new Callaways before I probably go right back to my good ole M6.

[@barryemery16]

My G10 was supposedly a draw bias, somehow I still managed the occasional power fade, ok slice, my G400 Max isn’t draw bias and to be honest, there doesn’t seem to be much of a change in direction, it depends on what swing I manage, I now disregard all claims of anti slice or draw bias claims, it really is how high you tee it up, what degree you are using and how you hit it, that’s what determines the direction, ball flight etc.

[@LWG]

It won’t cure a slice as I said in review the word draw is probably not right as too many people expect a complete shot shape change.

[@MrAnders1000]

Best of luck tomorrow Lee Really happy for you 💪💪💪 I tried both the new callaway and the stealth and personally I think the stealth sounds horrible and looks very bad. It is forgiving but not as forgiving as the new callaway. I get what you mean about the look but I personally don't like the look of the sim2 so maby why I prefare the stealth. The new cobra is probably the best looking driver that comes out so far. Or maby the new rogue but it's a hard choice between them🤣 haven't tried the new cobra yet so looking forward to that. I don't use a draw driver and all of last year I was missing left so I been working on hitting fades and now I am missing right instead 🤣 I think a coach session is what I need rather then a new driver but new shiny stuff is always fun

[@jpbackhouse]

Please test them in a studio with the same shaft. I'd guess the Stealth despite higher loft is maybe spinning a bit less

[@LWG]

Don’t really have a studio at current place yet but is in the pipeline so on course testing is the future for the time being.

[@theamateurgolferuk]

About time someone did a review on this ! Good work ! 👍

[@ladgolf6330]

The major obstacle for me with any new driver is cost - and the Stealth is no exception. It'll be interesting to see how many of the Taylor Made guys on the tours stick with the new club, or if they revert back to one of the older drivers.

[@LWG]

Think they do as they are told 😂😂

[@davidforbes368]

Why not crank it down,this driver is ideal for the high handicaper, I am eighty and use the HD with a red ventus 50 gram shaft and get really good results.Thanks for the video like you say no one bothers to go with the HD.😅

[@deansmith5678]

Great review Lee, good luck in the new job pal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@petekenny3774]

Well done Lee at last 👏

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

We dropped a review on it the same day lol 😂 but I didn’t have the HD head here. Just the standard

[@jamesdaw131]

I know you’ve worked super hard but your transition from average golfer with the odd massive drive in them to what you are playing now gives us all hope!

[@LWG]

Just hard work and practice mate

[@nealapps1247]

Lee wishing you all the best going forward on your journey and new venue. 👍👍

[@LWG]

Thank you Neal

[@mikecooke2357]

Bought the sim2 max D after seeing your review. Can't understand why more club golfers don't try the D version of whichever driver manufacturer. Was fitted too into the tensei blue shaft.

[@LWG]

Because people think they are better than they are instead of having a driver that works

[@darrenbell6376]

Your both so right i had the sim 2 max and my bad shots were a fade / slice which kills my game like most other golfers. I went for a fitting this week and tried the stealth, rogue and cobra all standard heads which i kept finding were fade biased for my swing. The fitter had me try the draw versions in each and what a difference this made. I constantly found my ball flight became much more neutral with the occasional draw shape which i never got with my old sim max. In the end i found the best combo was the rogue d with thr mms shaft which is still as long as my old sim max but the accurary results are much tighter in the draw driver

[@stuartrawlings9436]

i struggled with the sim 2 draw driver kept hooking it changed for the max love it good comparison between tese 2 drivers but dont think i will be changing any time soon

[@LWG]

It’s not for everyone but that’s what fittings are for

[@cpcanales76]

Sim 2 max is the best driver that i have ever had and ever made IMO. The stealth looks just like the TM mini driver from the top. Not a fan of the stealth. Great vid

[@LWG]

Agree Sim 2 is a winner

[@keithmartin2529]

You should have adjusted the 9* up to 9.75 and the 10.5 down to 9.75, please do this review again that way

[@LWG]

That moves the face angle 3 degrees between them so makes the draw bias part pointless. This was not a which goes further test. It was a review of the HD and to see if it’s worth me changing

[@davidolmstead9694]

How about comparing the 10.5° Stealth to your current 9° Sim2 Max adjusted to 10.5°? Adjust to 10.5° would increase spin by approx. 300 rpm (per TaylorMade) while also closing the face to better compare the two.

[@LWG]

My driver is the Max D not the max so like reducing loft makes the comparison pointless. Plus it wasn’t a comparison in that breath. I was seeing if there was much difference to change whilst also reviewing the product

[@JT-xs4br]

Had work is paying dividends Lee! Swing is looking good!

[@jonathanwilliams2713]

Good review Lee, I am interested more in the SIM2 Max D (with price) than newer Stealth HD. As these are now old stock with no custom fitting any suggestions on getting the right shaft (as currently don’t have a driver I’m bag to compare with either)? 🙏

[@LWG]

Yeah you will unlikely get custom fit into the sim2 now because it’s old or obsolete. Only what pros have on the shelf

[@MikeSoutham]

The man who convinced me to get the Sim2 D (which I love). Couldn't you down the Stealth HD 10.5 to 9.5 or even 9 to get a closer comparison?

[@hbyrdut]

You could have lofted your sim2 up to 10.5 to make a better comparison on loft but of course that would have closed the face 3 degrees.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Great video to see. Draw bias for me too. Enjoy the new job.

[@LWG]

Thanks mate

[@orlandobloomingmarvellous745]

I have one and it's saved my drives. Wonderful driver

[@Kdpeters80]

Why not adjust the loft on one or the other to make it a better comparison? I know it opens/closes the face a bit, but youre talking about distances and trajectory

[@LWG]

Because it opens and closes the face like you say. What’s the point in reviewing a draw biased driver and opening the face up 🤷‍♂️

[@GOLFADDICT65]

Hi great review....QUESTION : SIM 2 MAX ( 500 Canadian ) vs STEALTH 2 ( 800 Canadian ).....am I getting 300 dollars worth to go with stealth 2 or would i be fine with the SIM 2 MAX...what are your thoughts ?...thx...cheers from Canada

[@LWG]

Sim 2 👍

[@joehunt6321]

Great video Lee. Enjoyed it. The stealth looks a great club considering its up agains ‘your’ club. Obviously there will be some unconscious bias but you hit it really well. Cheeky fairway finder!

[@LWG]

Thanks mate. Honestly there was no bias, I secretly wanted stealth to be miles better 😂 new shiny driver haha.

[@leepopham-lithgow5104]

Great club review and would like to have seen you do the same lofts but I guess you can only get what you can get. Absolutely loved the Dartmouth GC played it last year for the first time and I’m very envious of you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@LWG]

Yeah unfortunately can only use what I have but tried to be as unbiased as I could

[@leepopham-lithgow5104]

@@LWG I thought that might be the case. Also try it again in the Summer on the 11th hole as that would be an interesting vlog as the outcome might be different Lle

[@keithmartin2529]

I understand the face angle change on both drivers, but comparing a 9* with a 10.5* is pointless, I have a sim d and a sim 2 d, both at 9* because I am using an autoflex shaft and the sim 2 launches so much higher than the sim that I can't use it unless I turn it down to 7.5* this negates the "d" and I am losing it right again, I want to see the comparison between sim or sim2 to sealth d to see it the ball flight of the sealth is lower than the sim 2 but goes longer than the sim 1

[@keithmartin2529]

The reason I tried the sim 2 d was because I heard it was more forgiving and had less right bias as the sim 1 d, I watched the review of these drivers on Tgw and all st 9* the sim d launched at 13* with 228 carry, sim2d launched at 17* with 244 carry and the sealth d launched at 13* with 255 carry. By this review the sealth has the same launch as the sim 1 d but is supposed to be more forgiving with longer carry. I like the looks of the sim 2 d the best, but with the autoflex shaft just goes too high. I like the flight of the sim 1 d with the autoflex and was hoping more forgiving and longer with the sim 2 d but it too high of launch, really would like it compared to the seslth d. BTW. I do thank you for reviewing these "d" drivers as this is what most people need. It is ridiculous that others do not review them because it doesn't fit their game.

[@warrenstresing3366]

Why didn’t you adjust the Stealth HD down closer to the Sim 2 D ?

[@LWG]

That opens the face and negates the HD part of the driver

[@bigc2092]

Never seen a guy do a video on a high draw driver and not hit a draw. Not even trying to draw it into the wind. Just basically up there trying to hit it straight 😂😂😂😂

[@tompeterson4628]

I had to put mine on full draw to eliminate my slice

[@mustachemulligans9846]

SIM2 is the best driver I've ever seen from aesthetics alone. I'm trying to find a video of someone comparing the SIM2 Max vs the Stealth model on just forgiveness levels.

[@alanparsons6779]

Good unbiased review

[@LWG]

Thank you

[@jdheelfan]

Everyone I see testing the HD on youtube hits a beautiful fade. They are supposed to be a draw bias.

[@rodbonjovi]

Why didnt you take the Taylormade tool and drop the loft 1 or 1.5 degrees?

[@LWG]

Because it opens the face.

[@stevefishburn9897]

Brilliant review, HD for me 👍

[@adrianscott6005]

Would the stealth also be a comparison with the Ping G425 ?

[@LWG]

A comparison in what respect mate? Forgiveness? If so I don’t think anything is as forgiving as a PING

[@adrianscott6005]

@@LWG yes sorry Lee, just in respect of both of their draw biased features - also the stealth can come with different color coded faces 😀👍🏼

[@LWG]

Costs more though. But I am tempted to chav one up a bit 😂

[@philwinstanley7899]

Stick with the Sim2 Lee. You're as comfortable with it as I've ever seen you with a driver. It's like Dan and his 5 wood.

Not quite that straight 😂 but you are right

Nice review bud, stealth can’t be loud 😂😂😂

[@jcc1500wm]

Why in the world would you not set the lofts the same

[@damiensharkey6603]

Lee it doesn’t go any further. It doesn’t give more forgiveness. But if want to spend more money?

[@paulmcgee1867]

Also never reviewed for the same reason is the Cobra F Max range although it would suit many golfers. Shows the KZbin bias.

[@nigelplain5520]

Good Luck for tomorrow.

[@Tomas-uk9qj]

You are testing 2 drivers both with adjustable shafts why not adjust the lofts so that you are comparing apples to apples.

[@LWG]

Because adjusting loft then changes the face angle and negates the draw bias
