TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood Review

With its 12% larger face and tour-proven V-Steel sole, TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood delivers more forgiveness without sacrificing versatility. The fairway wood is also engineered with TaylorMade's Inverted Cone Technology for maximum ball speed.

In addition, the Stealth 2 Plus offers a heavy 50g sliding weight on the sole that allows for three main settings with their own performance characteristics. This will help golfers find a setting that matches their swing.

Adjustable Sole Weight

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood features an adjustable sole weight that allows golfers to easily change the club's performance characteristics. This type of adjustability makes it an excellent choice for golfers who are looking to fine-tune the performance of their fairway woods, while also giving them more options to help them get the most out of their game.

A 50g sliding weight on the sole can be moved to one of three settings: standard, draw-biased and high draw. Depending on how you set it up, the fairway wood will vary its ball flight, distance and spin.

Another significant change on the Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood is a thinner face insert. The company says this makes the Stealth 2 Plus more flexible and helps to improve consistency in ball speed across the entire face.

This is a relatively simple change, but it can make a big difference. When we tested the Stealth 2 Plus, we noticed a noticeable difference in how it felt to swing the club if we used the adjustable sole weight in either of the two different positions. We could feel that the club was slightly more powerful in the back setting, while it was a little less powerful in the forward position.

We were also surprised to see a difference in how the Stealth 2 Plus reacted to impact on the turf if we switched it between the forward and rear positions, which is a testament to the flexibility of the new Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) topology.

The redesigned face on the Stealth 2 Plus is made from 60 distinct layers of carbon fibre that are arranged to create a more flexible perimeter with thinner sections around the centre thicker region. This results in a more flexible face that promotes consistent ball speed throughout the entire club, helping to increase accuracy and distance on off-center hits.

This new design is a big step forward for TaylorMade's fairway wood line. The brand's previous adjustable fairway wood, the M5, featured an 80g moving weight that allowed players to switch between different settings, but the new model has a far more subtle impact on how the club performs on off-center strikes. Using the adjustable sole weight on the Stealth 2 Plus has been a big improvement for TaylorMade, and it's easy to understand why they believe it's the best fairway wood they've ever made.

Adjustable Loft Sleeve

The Stealth 2 Plus is a fairway wood that offers a range of loft, launch and spin options with the addition of an adjustable 50-gram sliding weight. The weight can be shifted in three different locations on the sole for increased versatility and better fitting options.

This is a very significant innovation for TaylorMade because it allows for much more flexibility in the design of the club. For example, you can put the weight all the way back for more forgiveness and a high launch, or you can move it forward to lower the launch and spin and promote workability.

Moreover, you can turn the loft sleeve down two degrees to produce a low-launch, high-spin ball flight. This gives you more control over your performance and makes the Stealth 2 Plus a powerful weapon in your arsenal.

Another new feature of the Stealth 2 Plus is a variable thickness face design. This technology uses ultra-thin Zatech titanium to maximize speed on every shot and push the limits of face flexibility.

It also features Advanced Inverted Cone Technology, a Thru-Slot Speed Pocket and a laser-etched alignment aid on the clubface. All of these features are designed to boost performance and help serious golfers dominate the course on their own terms.

The Stealth 2 Plus is a club designed for elite players looking to take their game to the next level. This fairway wood is engineered to fit your unique game with its multi-material construction and fine tuned weight placement.

Aside from the Stealth 2 Plus, TaylorMade also offers a pair of hybrids in the Stealth 2 line. The Stealth hybrid, which is branded as “the rescue in the rescue lineup,” combines Tour-inspired shaping with a lower center of gravity (CG) to optimize launch and spin.

In addition to the Stealth hybrid, TaylorMade also offers three fairway woods in the Stealth 2 lineup: a standard model and two HD models that offer more forgiving shots with an internal draw bias.

The HD model features a larger face, low profile and internal draw bias, which TaylorMade says is more forgiving than the original Stealth fairway. It is 27 percent more forgiving and also offers a higher MOI, making it a desirable choice for the high handicap player.

AI-Generated Inverted Cone Face

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Fairway Wood offers the most versatility among the three Stealth 2 models. It uses an AI-generated inverted cone face, an adjustable loft sleeve and moveable weights to help golfers shape shots into a variety of launch and spin options.

It is a very strong option for senior men who are seeking a high-speed club with excellent forgiveness and low spin. Its head design enables you to launch the ball with a powerful launch and maximize your distance, while the AI-Generated Inverted Cone Face helps increase your forgiveness.

This model is also designed with a low-profile, stretch head shape to promote high MOI. It also features an internal weight and a lower crown than the original Stealth.

Compared to the standard Stealth, it is 4mm wider from face to back and has a lower crown. It is also 27 percent more forgiving, according to TaylorMade.

While this club is a good fit for players who struggle to hit their fairway woods, it may not be the best choice for most golfers. It is a little too long for my tastes, although it does have some good properties that could make it more appealing to those who are looking for a very high-speed club with exceptional forgiveness and low spin.

One of the most interesting innovations in this fairway wood is its AI-Generated Inverted Cone face, which helps to promote a higher launch and improve your accuracy by increasing your forgiveness. The face is made of a carbon composite and features a thin face on the edges that increases your speed, while a thicker face in the center helps to spread speed evenly.

Another innovation is the use of an asymmetric inertia generator to help promote high-speed performance on off-center strikes. This feature, which is available on all the Stealth 2 fairway woods, optimizes energy transfer to the golf ball, increasing your swing speed and promoting super-fast ball speeds.

The AI-Generated Inverted Cone feature on the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus is one of the most innovative technologies in a fairway wood, and it will be very beneficial for senior men who want to play a more stable, high-speed club. It will also provide more forgiving and accurate golfing options for mid to high handicappers who struggle with their fairway woods.

V-Steel Sole

The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus fairway wood is designed to offer the best performance for all players. The club features a V-Steel sole with an advanced Twist Face that improves turf interaction and versatility to make it more forgiving than the original model.

This innovative technology is engineered to optimize forgiveness, allowing golfers to achieve a consistent ball flight with more accuracy and control. In addition, the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus offers a sliding 50-gram Titanium weight slide in the club head that adjusts the balance of the clubface and thus the characteristics of the ball flight to your needs.

In the case of the Stealth 2 Plus, this allows golfers to choose a higher or lower launch for maximum distance or an iron-like shape for versatility, depending on their needs. The patented TaylorMade Speed Pocket technology has also been redesigned to be more effective for generating faster ball speeds and increased carry distances from a wider range of lies.

Another key feature of the Stealth 2 Plus is the infinity edge carbon crown that provides a 12 percent larger surface area than the SIM2 Titanium. This allows mass to be repositioned low/rear in the clubhead for better turf interaction, reduced drag and higher launch, while maintaining the same 80-gram V-Steel sole that is used by the SIM2 fairway wood.

Lastly, the Stealth 2 Plus has a laser-etched alignment aid to assist with visual alignment. This technology is a proven winner with TaylorMade tour stars such as Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa and Tiger Woods.

When combined with the silver 80-gram V-Steel sole and Twist Face, this technology ensures that the ball does not fly out of the face at right angles resulting in more accurate hits. This is particularly important for longer iron-like shots that can be difficult to control when hit from a variety of lies.

The V-Steel Sole of the TaylorMade Stealth 2 is also very forgiving and has a low centre of gravity (CG) to promote an explosive, high-launch ball flight. In addition, the advanced Twist Face bulge and roll technology helps to minimize turf contact while still maximizing ball speed across the face.
