Where it wins
- Looks87
- Feel86
- Sound86
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing fast, strike it well, and want a compact, low-spin fairway you can tune and shape.
You want maximum forgiveness or an easy launch on a miss — the standard Stealth 2 or the HD helps more.
Pros
- The most adjustable fairway in the range — a 12-way hosel and a 50g sliding weight genuinely shift launch and spin
- A low-spin, penetrating flight that bombs off the tee for a fast swing
- More forgiving than a compact players' head usually is, with a crisp, lively feel
Cons
- Less forgiving than the standard or HD — mishits with the weight forward scatter
- Gives up a few yards of total distance to the standard Stealth 2
- Priced above the rest of the line
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongSteadier than a compact players' head has any right to be — the rear weight setting holds ball speed on misses.
Distance
ExcellentA low-spin bomber off the tee — slide the weight forward for a flat, fast, running flight that pushes carry and roll.
Workability
SolidThe most shapeable fairway of its line — a small, low-spinning head bends to draws and fades on command.
Feel
ExcellentA lively, solid hit off the titanium face — clean feedback that tells you exactly where you caught it.
Sound
ExcellentA sharp yet deep impact note — dense and low down the register, nothing like the high click of a typical fairway.
Looks at address
ExcellentA small, classic tour-style head that better players will settle over easily — with the metal sole weight the one bit of flash.
