Where it wins
- Looks83
- Feel82
- Sound79
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a slice or a right miss and want forgiveness without giving it up to the draw - a high-launch, highest-MOI, moderate-draw carbon head for higher handicaps.
You already draw the ball, want to shape shots, or want lower spin and a crisper sound - the standard Stealth or low-spin Plus suit you better.
Pros
- The highest MOI in the Stealth family - a draw head that loses none of the range's forgiveness
- A moderate, slice-smoothing draw that isn't a hook machine
- The highest-launching head of the line, easy to get airborne, with the carbon face's strong ball speeds
- A larger 60X carbon face, 40% lighter than titanium, for ball speed across the face
Cons
- Low workability - the heel-weighted draw makes a fade hard to hit
- The muted, divisive first-generation carbon sound
- Higher launch and spin than the standard Stealth - less penetrating in wind
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongThe most forgiving Stealth - the highest-MOI head in the Stealth family while keeping a draw bias, with extra forgiveness across the face, encouraging a draw without losing the range's forgiveness or power. A draw head that, unusually, tops the line for stability.
Distance
StrongFast, if higher-flighted - impressive ball speeds across a larger carbon face, strong speed for a draw head. Long enough, though the higher launch and spin of the draw build give back a little distance versus the standard Stealth.
Workability
ModestA moderate, baked-in draw - the heel-shifted CG imposes a draw bias, limiting shot-shape freedom, though it is a moderate draw that smooths the curve rather than a hook machine. Low workability, if not as locked-in as a strong-draw head.
Feel
ExcellentStable and solid - a solid, stable strike from the carbon face, a reassuring impact. A quality sensation, if a touch firmer and newer than titanium.
Sound
StrongMuted and divisive - the first-generation carbon face produces a duller, more muted note than titanium, the sound the most polarising aspect of the new face. Acceptable, but not crisp.
Looks at address
ExcellentStriking but a touch closed - the bold carbon face is distinctive, with a slightly closed, draw-leaning look at address, clean and reassuring for the slicer. A distinctive head, if less neutral than the standard Stealth.
