TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus Rescue Hybrid

Hybrid Options & Stock Shafts

Tour Hybrid

The Stealth 2 Plus Rescue is the version of TaylorMade's 2023 hybrid built for players who want to work the ball instead of just launching it high and letting it sit. Compared to the standard Stealth 2 Rescue, the Plus has a smaller, more compact head that sits down behind the ball looking a lot more like a driving iron than a fairway-wood-shaped rescue. That shape is a signal. This club expects you to make decent contact, and it rewards you for it with a flatter, more penetrating flight.

Spin is the whole story here. The Plus runs lower spin than the standard model, so it holds its line into the wind and won't balloon on you when you catch one flush. That comes from the more forward center of gravity and the compact profile. The tradeoff is real: you give up some of the easy help a bigger, deeper head provides, and mishits off the toe or low on the face lose more than they would with a game-improvement rescue.

Adjustability is built in through the loft sleeve, so you can move loft up or down and tweak the face angle to fine-tune launch and shot shape. For a player filling the gap between a long iron and a 5-wood, that flexibility matters. You can dial this into a specific yardage and trajectory rather than accepting whatever the stock loft gives you.

• Better players and low-to-mid handicappers who want to shape shots and control trajectory, not just get the ball airborne
• Anyone who needs a flatter, lower-spinning ball flight that stands up in wind off tight lies
• Players filling the yardage gap between their longest iron and a 5-wood who want to tune loft precisely
• Golfers who prefer a compact, driving-iron-style look at address over a bulky rescue head

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Stealth 2 Plus Rescue and the standard Stealth 2 Rescue?

The Plus has a smaller, more compact head, a more forward center of gravity, and lower spin. It flies flatter and gives you more control to work the ball, but it's less forgiving on mishits. The standard Stealth 2 Rescue is larger, launches higher, and helps more on off-center strikes. The Plus is the better-player option.

Is the Stealth 2 Plus Rescue adjustable?

Yes. It has a loft sleeve that lets you change loft and adjust the lie and face angle, so you can fine-tune launch, spin, and shot shape or set it to a specific gap yardage.

Who should not buy the Stealth 2 Plus Rescue?

Higher handicappers and slower swing speeds who need help getting the ball up and want maximum forgiveness. The Plus is lower-spinning and less forgiving, so mishits cost you more distance. Those players are better served by the standard Stealth 2 Rescue.

What lofts does the Stealth 2 Plus Rescue come in?

It's offered in the stronger, lower lofts aimed at replacing a long iron, and the loft sleeve lets you adjust from the stock setting to fine-tune where it sits in your bag.

Does the Stealth 2 Plus Rescue have the Stealth carbon face?

No. The rescue uses a steel face and a steel-body construction with the V Steel sole for turf interaction. The carbon face marketing applies to TaylorMade's drivers and fairways, not the hybrid line.
