Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks87
- Distance86
- Feel85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want the longest fairway you can get, with a low-spin, running flight and no tinkering.
You want maximum forgiveness, an adjustable hosel, or a draw — the Stealth 2 HD or Plus fits better.
Pros
- The longest fairway of its year — a low-spin, running, penetrating flight
- A superb sole off the turf and out of light rough
- A dense, solid feel and a deep, weighty sound
Cons
- Below-average forgiveness — the distance model, not the steadiest
- No adjustable hosel — unlike the Plus
- A lower flight that gives up some stopping power
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongTraded some stability for speed — a lower, deeper weight helps, but this is the distance model, not the steadiest of the three.
Distance
ExcellentThe longest fairway of its year — a fast steel face and a low-spin, running flight pile up carry and roll.
Workability
ModestA neutral, all-round head between the tour and draw models — fairly straight, with no hosel to tune the flight.
Feel
ExcellentA dense, solid strike — a deep, heavy thump off the face that reports clearly through the hands.
Sound
ExcellentA low, weighty thud at impact — a deep, thick note rather than a thin ping, solid and satisfying.
Looks at address
ExcellentA sleek carbon-crowned head that sits a shade closed with a tee-friendly face — sharp and modern over the ball.
