TaylorMade Stealth 2 Review

Stealth 2 is the version of the carbonwood idea that finally sorted out mass placement. The face is the 60X Carbon Twist Face, larger than the original Stealth's red panel and still carrying the twisted geometry that adds loft on the high toe and takes it off the low heel. More importantly the Inertia Generator at the back of the sole moved to carbon composite, which liberated real grams and pushed the centre of gravity lower and further back, so the standard head measures out with clearly better heel-and-toe stability than the 2022 model.

Sound improved too, from soft and slightly hollow to a firmer low crack. It is a neutral 460cc profile at address, a little rounder than Stealth, with a fixed sole weight and the usual four-degree adjustable sleeve. Stock lofts are 8, 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees, with the Plus and HD variants covering low spin and draw bias. The letters are a provisional placeholder: nothing gets a real grade until it has been hit on a range and measured rather than read about.
