TaylorMade Stealth

Reviewer testing: the head was one of the longest fairways tested, while giving the smallest amount of carry distance drop-off — small drop-off implies tight dispersion. Manufacturer: a 3D carbon crown allowed developers to move weight lower and farther back, increasing MOI. C300 steel Twist Face provides corrective face curvature for off-center hits. 190cc head — game-improvement footprint vs the 175cc Plus tour-spec sibling. Above-average forgiveness — multi-material carbon crown plus Twist Face plus oversize head.

Reviewer launch monitor testing (15° 3W): an average ball speed of 140 mph at a 99 mph swing speed, and average launch angle of 12° with low spin at 2,633 rpm providing an average carry distance of 232 yards. Reviewer testing: the head was one of the longest fairways tested. The brand's fairways have been known for being fast and long since introducing the Rocketballz back in 2012, and thanks to a new wraparound carbon crown, this head just ekes out a fraction more performance over its predecessors. Above-average distance — strong absolute speed plus low spin from the new carbon-crown architecture.

190cc head — game-improvement footprint that resists shape-shifting. Neutral CG and face angle. Game-improvement targeting suggests buyers prioritize forgiveness over shape control vs the Plus tour-spec sibling. Below-average workability — by design, this is the standard game-improvement spec, not the shape-shifter.

Industry awards coverage: a lightweight yet aggressive feel through impact. The clubhead easily slid through the turf. Impact was like a soft trampoline with incredible spring. Reviewer testing: sound and feel are incredibly similar between the standard and the Plus tour-spec sibling, with the feel being very similar to the steel-faced woods that the brand has been producing for years. Tour staff sentiment: chose Stealth over prior generation for sound and feel. Above-average feel — refined tactile signature that tour pros prefer over the prior generation.

Reviewer testing: the head sounds and feels like other fairway woods the brand has made in the past, with a clean crack on impact with the ball feeling lively off the clubface. Tour staff chose Stealth over the prior generation in sentiment rating regarding sound and feel. Above-average acoustic — clean crack on impact with tour-pro endorsement vs prior generation.

Reviewer testing: the head series offers an outstanding appearance with a mix of sleek black with red trim. The head seems to have gotten its inspiration from the iconic B-2 Stealth Bomber aircraft. Manufacturer: Infinity Edge carbon crowns (freeing up weight for improved forgiveness) and laser etched face stripes to boost confidence and set-up accuracy. Above-average address profile — premium B-2-inspired aesthetic with new full-coverage 3D carbon crown.
