Tour Driver

The Stealth 2 Plus sits at the top of TaylorMade's 2023 driver lineup, and it is not trying to be for everyone. At 440cc, the head is 20 cubic centimeters smaller than the standard Stealth 2. That sounds modest until you address the ball and notice how different the look actually is. Compact, clean, no visual clutter.

Low spin is the defining characteristic here. If you carry serious swing speed and your ball flight already wants to climb, this driver keeps it boring in the best way. The adjustable hosel adds loft flexibility, but the real spin control comes from the head geometry and a forward center of gravity. Tweaking the sleeve settings helps, but a fast player who compresses the ball will get the most out of it.

There is no built-in draw bias to cover loose swings. No inflated forgiveness. What you hit is what you get, which is exactly what a consistent ball-striker wants from a driver.

• Players with swing speeds above 105 mph who generate too much spin and lose distance to ballooning, high-climbing drives.
• Low-handicap golfers, roughly scratch to 5, who want to shape shots and need a head that responds honestly to face angle and path changes.
• Better players moving from a previous tour-style driver who want to stay in that feel category while picking up the carbon face technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Stealth 2 and the Stealth 2 Plus?

The Plus has a 440cc head versus the standard 460cc, a more forward CG position, and lower spin characteristics. It rewards consistent, fast swings with penetrating ball flight but is less forgiving on mishits. The standard Stealth 2 suits mid-handicap players better. If you are a single-digit handicapper with above-average swing speed, the Plus is the version worth testing.

Is the Stealth 2 Plus good for high handicappers?

No. The compact head and low-spin profile punish off-center contact more than the standard Stealth 2 or the HD version. High handicappers will see wider miss dispersion and may lose distance compared to a more forgiving driver. It is built for players with fast, repeatable swings who can control face angle at impact.

What loft options does the Stealth 2 Plus come in?

Available in 8, 9, and 10.5 degrees. The adjustable hosel allows loft changes within a range and some face angle adjustment, giving you room to dial in launch conditions beyond the stock setting. Most faster swingers looking for low spin start at 9 degrees and adjust from there.

Does the Stealth 2 Plus have a draw bias?

No. Unlike the Stealth 2 HD, the Plus is set up neutral in its stock configuration with no built-in draw weighting. It is designed for players who can work the ball in both directions and do not want the head fighting a fade or a cut.

How does the carbon face affect sound and feel compared to a titanium driver?

The 60X Carbon Twist Face produces a slightly muted, lower-pitch sound at impact compared to titanium. The feel is firm and responsive, and feedback on mishits comes through clearly. Some players adjust immediately; others need a few range sessions. It does not feel hollow or vague.
