TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD

Manufacturer: this head has its highest ever MOI in a fairway wood. Reviewer testing: undoubtedly one of the most forgiving fairway woods reviewers have ever hit. The forgiveness is more on a max-GI level than anything. Reviewer testing: expands the limits of forgiveness in terms of off-the-deck playability. 200cc oversized head with shallow face and low CG. Top-tier 2023 max-forgiveness fairway — explicitly the highest-MOI fairway the brand has ever made.

Reviewer testing: the head is more around launch and forgiveness than all-out distance. High spin profile of 4332 rpm consistent average per reviewer testing. Targets slow-swing players (<93mph driver speed) — distance is positive but not class-leading. Above-average distance for slicers/slow swingers — distance gain through straighter, higher flight, not peak ball speed.

Reviewer testing: a strong draw bias makes it a great choice for players who are battling a slice. Typical trajectories are high with a moderate draw bias. The draw bias is achieved through internal weighting rather than face offset — sits pretty square at address despite being a draw-biased fairway. The oversized 200cc footprint resists shape-shifting. Below-average workability — the strong draw bias actively imposes a shape, fade is functionally unavailable.

Reviewer testing: on quality strikes, the head feels very crisp and powerful in the hands. C300 steel face plus 3D carbon crown produces the line-consistent tactile signature. Multi-material build adds refinement vs the prior generation. Above-average feel — same tactile DNA as the standard sibling that won the 2023 best-feel crown.

Reviewer testing: centered shots are mid-pitch snaps with low-pitched metallic undertones. When shots strike the heel or toe, the sound becomes a disharmonious clack — a fairly stern reminder to get back to the sweet spot. Mid-tier acoustic — pleasant on center but the harsh off-center clack is a notable downside vs the standard sibling's more refined sound.

Reviewer testing: the head is very long from front-to-back, also a bit larger than average from heel-to-toe, creating a lot of hitting area, and these dimensions are balanced by a shallow face that sits slightly shut at address. 200cc oversized footprint with 3D carbon crown — confidence-inspiring for high-HCP / slice-prone players. Above-average address profile — game-improvement footprint with carbon-crown styling.
