Who They’re For: Golfers who want more forgiveness without sacrificing ball speed or distance.

The Skinny: By making the carbon fiber face even lighter and adding a carbon fiber sole, TaylorMade made the sweet spot in the three Stealth 2 drivers larger while significantly increasing the moment of inertia for enhanced stability.

The Deep Dive: The TaylorMade Stealth driver was one of the easiest clubs in golf to spot last season because its 60-layer carbon fiber face was red. For 2023, the Carlsbad, California-based company tweaked the carbon fiber face and added other technologies and features in the Stealth 2.

Who They’re For: Golfers who want more forgiveness without sacrificing ball speed or distance.

The Skinny: By making the carbon fiber face even lighter and adding a carbon fiber sole, TaylorMade made the sweet spot in the three Stealth 2 drivers larger while significantly increasing the moment of inertia for enhanced stability.

The Deep Dive: Starting with the Rocketballz fairway woods in 2012, TaylorMade helped usher in a fairway woods revolution, delivering greater distance and ball speeds. With the first SIM fairway woods in 2020, the company hit upon a formula that proved popular with elite golfers and recreational players too – titanium fairway woods with carbon fiber crowns that also had heavy sole plates.

For 2023, TaylorMade has three Stealth 2 fairway woods: a titanium offering and two stainless steel clubs made to boost distance off the tee and from the turf.

Who They’re For: Golfers who want more distance and height than with long irons.

The Skinny: With three different shapes and sizes, the Stealth 2 rescue clubs were designed to create different shot shapes and offer different levels of shot-shaping ability for golfers who want a long-iron replacement option.

The Deep Dive: When it comes to long-iron replacements, golfers have been split by manufacturers into two groups: players who want a compact, iron-like hybrid and golfers who prefer a miniature fairway wood. With the release of the Stealth 2 rescue clubs, TaylorMade has those options covered and is adding a third option that maximizes forgiveness.

TaylorMade Stealth HD irons

The Stealth HD irons are designed to get the ball up quickly for slow-swinging players.

Gear: TaylorMade Stealth HD irons
Price: $999 with KBS Max 85 steel shafts and Lamkin Crossline Black grips. $1,099 with Fujikura NX Red graphite shafts
Specs: Cast stainless steel with polymer insert
Available: Feb. 17

Who It’s For: New and high-handicap golfers who need to maximize height, distance and forgiveness.

The Skinny: The Stealth HD irons were designed to get the ball up quickly for slow-swinging players who want a club that has an inspiring shape. 

The Deep Dive: When TaylorMade wants to create a new, better-player’s club, it talks with staff players such as Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. They discover what elite golfers prefer and look for, then create something that provides those attributes.

TaylorMade does not, however, have a staff of golfers who shoot in the 90s and 100s, so to make a new max-game-improvement club, the company did extensive testing with new and slower-swinging players. After hitting shots, reps asked if the player liked that shot, then asked why. TaylorMade learned that players who struggle with the game love seeing the ball go high into the air, prefer to see shots that fly to the left or go straight and want to see a club that inspires confidence.

Keeping the game-improvement Stealth irons in the stable, the brand now offers the Stealth HD, a max-game-improvement iron.
