Where it wins
- Looks86
- Distance85
- Feel85
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing fast, spin the ball too much, and want the longest, lowest-spinning, most adjustable and workable head of the 2023 line - a players' low-spin bomber with a sliding weight.
You want maximum forgiveness (the standard Stealth 2), a draw bias (the Stealth 2 HD), or need help launching the ball.
Pros
- The longest 2023 driver for total distance - 307 yards at 9 degrees, with the fastest ball speeds of the entire test
- The lowest-spinning, most workable head of the line - a forward CG and a 15g sliding weight for full shot-shape control
- A penetrating, low-spin flight that bores through wind
- Improved carbon construction with the much-better Stealth 2 sound and feel
Cons
- Less forgiving than the standard Stealth 2 - dispersion is around 10 yards looser, though ball-speed retention holds up
- Lower-launching and low-spinning - a fast-swinger's head that needs speed to optimise
- Pricier than the standard Stealth 2
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongGood for a players' head - the lowest-MOI head of the line, with dispersion around 10 yards looser than the standard Stealth 2, though ball-speed preservation on mishits is nearly as good, holding speed well off-centre despite the more forward CG. Solid stability for a low-spin players' driver, if short of the standard head.
Distance
ExcellentThe longest of 2023 - 307 yards total at 9 degrees, the longest 2023 driver tested, on the fastest ball speeds of the entire test, a low-spin, high-rollout flight. An elite low-spin bomber.
Workability
StrongThe shaper of the line - the forward centre of mass promotes workability and a lower, controllable flight, making it very workable, with the 15g sliding weight and low-spin head giving full shot-shape control for a skilled player. The most manipulable head in the Stealth 2 family.
Feel
ExcellentSolid and satisfying - a solid, premium carbon-face strike, the satisfying impact shared across the Stealth 2 line. A quality, refined sensation.
Sound
ExcellentPleasing and improved - the Stealth 2 generation's much-improved carbon acoustic with a satisfying note, a confident, pleasing sound. Clean and on-brand.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and premium - the compact, players-leaning head sits clean and tour-ready at address, a premium carbon look. A sharp, confidence-inspiring head for the better player.
