Tour Driver

The Stealth Plus is the driver where TaylorMade stopped using titanium on the face and switched to carbon. That's the whole story of this club. After years of the Twist Face titanium construction, TaylorMade built a 60-layer carbon face they called 60X Carbon Twist Face, wrapped it in a red polyurethane coating, and claimed it saved weight they could push toward speed and forgiveness. Whether the carbon actually adds distance is a debate that never fully settled, but the driver itself is a legitimate low-spin tour head.

At 440cc, this is the smaller, more player-focused option in the 2022 Stealth family. It sits below the 460cc standard Stealth and well below the draw-biased Stealth HD. The giveaway that this is built for better players is the sliding weight track on the sole. You get a 15-gram weight you can move heel to toe to fine-tune shot shape, and the head naturally spins less than the standard model. Low spin is the point here, not a side effect.

This is not a driver that forgives everything. The 440cc footprint and low-spin profile reward players who deliver the club consistently and want to flatten out ball flight. If you fight a high, spinny ball or you sweep it off the tee with speed to burn, the Stealth Plus does exactly what it was designed to do. If you need help getting the ball up or squaring the face, you're looking at the wrong Stealth.

• Faster swingers who already produce plenty of spin and need to bring launch numbers down.
• Better players who want to move a weight around to dial in a draw or a fade rather than accept one built-in bias.
• Anyone comfortable with a 440cc head who finds bigger drivers feel too bulky at address.
• Players chasing lower spin and a flatter, more penetrating ball flight off the tee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Stealth Plus and the standard Stealth?

Size and spin, mostly. The Stealth Plus is 440cc with a sliding weight track and a lower-spin, more forward center of gravity. The standard Stealth is 460cc, spins a bit more, launches higher, and has no adjustable weight track. Plus is the tour-leaning option, standard is the more forgiving everyday driver.

Is the carbon face actually better than titanium?

TaylorMade's argument is that carbon is lighter than titanium, freeing up weight to redistribute for speed and stability across the face. In real-world testing the distance gains over the previous titanium drivers were modest at best. The carbon face is a real engineering change, but treat the marketing distance claims with some skepticism and go by your own numbers on a launch monitor.

Does the Stealth Plus have adjustable loft?

Yes. It uses TaylorMade's loft sleeve, so you can adjust loft and face angle at the hosel. That's separate from the 15-gram sliding weight on the sole, which controls heel-to-toe bias. You can tune launch and shot shape independently.

Is the Stealth Plus too much driver for a mid handicapper?

For a lot of mid handicappers, yes. The 440cc head and low-spin design ask for consistent contact and enough speed to get the ball airborne. If you struggle with a high, ballooning flight and deliver the club well, it can work. If you need forgiveness and easy launch, the standard Stealth or Stealth HD is the smarter pick.

How do I set the sliding weight for a draw or a fade?

Slide the 15-gram weight toward the heel to promote a draw, and toward the toe to hold off the draw or help a fade. It shifts the center of gravity to bias how the face wants to close through impact. Start in the neutral middle position, hit some shots, then move it based on the miss you're trying to kill.
