Stealth HD
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You're a higher-handicapper, beginner or slower swing who fights a low ball flight and a slice, and wants towering launch and maximum forgiveness.
You want maximum distance (the standard Stealth), workability, or you already hit a draw.
Pros
- One of the most forgiving irons on the market - 2nd for forgiveness in MyGolfSpy's 2023 super-game-improvement test, shrugging off toe and heel misses
- Towering, easy launch - a low-profile, shallow-face head, ultra-low CG and weaker lofts get the ball up with ease
- A big draw bias - 5 yards of extra right-to-left flight to straighten out a slice
- Even thin strikes fly playable trajectories
Cons
- One of the shortest super-game-improvement irons - weaker lofts trade distance for launch and forgiveness
- A big, low-profile head with extra offset and a draw bias
- Low on workability - built to go high, straight and left
By dimension
Forgiveness
Among the most forgiving anywhere - 2nd for forgiveness in its 2023 super-game-improvement test, the irons absolutely shrugging off toe and heel misses and even thin strikes flying playable, called the most forgiving iron out there. Class-leading super-game-improvement forgiveness.
Distance
Short for an SGI - one of the shortest super-game-improvement irons, ranking toward the bottom for distance, because of lofts 1.5 to 2.5 degrees weaker than the Stealth. Below-average distance, traded for launch and forgiveness.
Workability
Built to go high and left - a high-launch, draw-biased super-game-improvement iron with a low-profile, max-forgiveness design. Minimal workability, by design.
Feel
Forged-like, carried over - the Cap Back toe-wrap construction gives the forged-like feel carried over from the Stealth, with a solid impact. Good feel for a super-game-improvement iron.
Sound
Solid and refined - a positive, forged-like sound off the Cap Back face, a solid note. Good sound for a super-game-improvement iron.
Looks at address
Big and low-profile - a larger, low-profile head with more offset for the draw bias, a confidence-inspiring footprint. A confidence-building but bulky super-game-improvement look.
