Where it wins
- Feel88
- Forgiveness86
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for feel and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You have a moderate or slower swing, fight a slice, and want the easiest hybrid to launch high and land soft.
You want maximum carry, a neutral or workable flight, or an adjustable hosel — the standard Stealth 2 fits better.
Pros
- Among the most forgiving hybrids of its year
- An easy, high launch and a strong draw to fight a slice
- A gorgeous, warm, wood-like feel and sound
Cons
- No adjustability — a bonded hosel
- Shorter than the standard Stealth 2, on a higher flight
- A big, draw-biased head with no shot-shaping
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentAbout as steady as hybrids get — a low, rearward weight holds pace and line true even on a poor hit.
Distance
StrongFair, not the longest — the HD trades outright carry for height and a helping draw, sitting behind the standard model.
Workability
ModestNot one to shape — a big, rear-loaded head with a pronounced draw lean flies high and left on a single flight.
Feel
ExcellentA real highlight — a dense, warm, woody strike, richer and more solid than most current hybrids give.
Sound
ExcellentA warm, solid thud at impact — full and rounded, closer to an old wood than a bright modern hybrid ping.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, shallow GI head under a dark crown — bigger and more reassuring than a players' shape, built to settle a nervous eye.
