Where it wins
- Looks85
- Feel83
- Distance82
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing fast, spin the ball too much, and want a low-spin, adjustable players' head with a sliding weight - a carbon-faced bomber for low-to-mid handicaps who control their strike.
You want maximum forgiveness (the standard Stealth), a draw bias (the Stealth HD), or need help launching the ball.
Pros
- Very impressive ball speed - up to 179 mph at a 1.48 smash factor from the 60X carbon face
- The lowest-launching, lowest-spinning Stealth - 200-300 rpm less than the standard head
- A 10g sliding weight for draw-fade bias - the most adjustable head in the Stealth line
- The carbon face's strong spin control and distance for better players
Cons
- Least forgiving of the family - a low-spin players' head that demands a centred strike
- The muted, divisive first-generation carbon sound
- Low-launching - it needs a fast swing to optimise and doesn't suit slower players
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidGood for a low-spin head - the 60X carbon face lends exceptional spin control and consistent ball speed for a players' driver, stable enough off-centre for its category, if the least forgiving of the Stealth family. Dependable for a low-spin players' head, but not a max-MOI driver.
Distance
ExcellentSeriously fast - ball speed up to 179.1 mph at a 1.48 smash factor, very impressive data, the 44%-lighter carbon face and low spin giving strong distance. An elite low-spin bomber for fast swings.
Workability
SolidThe shaper of the line - the sliding weight and low-spin head make it the most adjustable and workable Stealth, ideal for players who control their shots, the low spin letting a skilled player shape it both ways. Genuine shot-shape control.
Feel
ExcellentSolid, if new - a solid carbon-face strike, distinct from titanium, a stable, quality impact. A good feel, if a departure from the SIM2.
Sound
StrongMuted and divisive - the first-generation carbon face produces a duller, more muted note than the titanium SIM2, the carbon sound polarising. The weak point of the first Stealth generation.
Looks at address
ExcellentStriking and clean - a bold carbon face that gives a distinctive look at address, the compact, players-leaning head sitting clean and tour-ready. A sharp, confidence-inspiring head for the better player.
