TaylorMade flipped the industry on it’s ear in 2022 with the launch of its STEALH “carbonwood” line. In ’23 they introduce their next generation STEALTH 2 with Carbon Twist Face technology. The second generation model comes in 3 models, STEALTH 2 (standard), STEALTH 2 Plus, STEALTH 2 HD.
TaylorMade’s goal for ’23 was to build on the momentum of the original. A carbon fiber chasis body allows for further weight distribution of weight on the perimeter areas of the driver. Where the weight is used for each model depends on the skill level of the golfer it’s designed for. STEALTH 2 Plus has increased in price to $629 MSRP.
Tomo Bystedt, Senior Director of Product Creation, was quoted in the press announcement, “The modular carbon body construction of Stealth 2 represents our commitment to carbon as the leading material in every TaylorMade driver we produce. It was clear that the breakthroughs we had with Stealth were just the beginning in terms of the performance we can extract from this technology platform. A primarily carbon-based head construction is revolutionizing where we are able to position mass in a driver and this allows us to finely tune the launch, spin and MOI in each of the three Stealth 2 driver models.”
