Where it wins
- Looks86
- Feel84
- Sound84
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a slice or want the easiest launch, and value forgiveness over shot-shaping.
You want to work the ball, tune loft, or squeeze out maximum distance — the standard or Plus fits better.
Pros
- Very forgiving and easy to launch high, with a draw bias that fights a slice
- A large, reassuring head that holds its line on off-centre hits
- The familiar solid feel of TaylorMade's steel-faced woods
Cons
- Draw-locked — little scope to work the ball
- No adjustable hosel to fine-tune loft or lie
- A little shorter than the straighter standard Stealth
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentA big carbon-crowned head with weight low and back — mishits barely leak speed, holding the line for a slicer.
Distance
StrongLong enough, but the draw setup and higher flight give up a few yards to the straighter standard head.
Workability
ModestBuilt to turn the ball over — a fixed draw bias and a big head leave little room to shape shots.
Feel
ExcellentThe familiar steel-faced hit of TaylorMade's woods — solid off the middle, a touch duller on a miss.
Sound
ExcellentA firm, clean note at impact — much like the rest of the line, without much change across the face.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, draw-leaning head under a dull carbon crown with a laser alignment line — simple to sit square behind.
