TaylorMade Stealth Plus Rescue Hybrid

Hybrid Options & Stock Shafts

Tour Hybrid

The Stealth Plus Rescue is TaylorMade's answer for players who want a hybrid that behaves like a small long iron instead of a fairway wood on a diet. Released in 2022 alongside the Stealth family, this is the tour-oriented rescue, meaning lower spin, a more compact head, and enough adjustability to shape the flight the way you want it. If you already hit your irons well and just need something that goes higher and longer than a 3 or 4 iron without ballooning, this is the club that gets a hard look.

What separates the Plus from the standard Stealth Rescue is control. It runs a sliding weight track across the sole, so you can bias the head toward a draw or a fade and dial in a bit of trajectory tuning at the same time. Pair that with the adjustable loft sleeve and you have a hybrid you can genuinely fit to a gap in your bag rather than settling for whatever the stock setup gives you. That flexibility is the whole point.

The tradeoff is honesty. This is not a max-forgiveness rescue built to rescue every swing. Miss it off the toe or the heel and you will know. It rewards a player who delivers the head consistently and wants a penetrating, controllable ball flight, and it asks something in return.

• Better ball strikers who want a hybrid that launches lower and spins less than a typical rescue.
• Players replacing a 3 or 4 iron who still want to shape shots left and right.
• Anyone who wants to fit the club precisely using the sliding weight and adjustable loft sleeve.
• Golfers chasing a penetrating, wind-cheating flight rather than maximum height and forgiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Stealth Plus Rescue and the standard Stealth Rescue?

The Plus is the tour version. It has a smaller head, lower spin, and a sliding weight track for shot-shape adjustability. The standard Stealth Rescue is larger, more forgiving, and launches higher, which suits players who want easier height and less need to work the ball.

How does the sliding weight on the Stealth Plus Rescue work?

There is a steel weight in a track across the sole. Slide it toward the heel to encourage a draw, toward the toe for a fade, or leave it centered for a neutral flight. It changes where the center of gravity sits, so it also nudges trajectory slightly.

Is the Stealth Plus Rescue adjustable for loft?

Yes. It uses an adjustable loft sleeve at the hosel, so you can add or reduce loft and change the lie angle to tune launch and start direction. Combined with the sliding weight, it gives you a lot of fitting range.

Is the Stealth Plus Rescue good for high handicappers?

It is not the best fit for most high handicappers. The compact head and low-spin design demand more consistent contact, and the forgiveness is lower than the standard Stealth Rescue. A higher handicap player is usually better served by a more forgiving hybrid.

What loft options does the Stealth Plus Rescue come in?

It was offered in a small number of lofts, typically covering the stronger end of the hybrid range to serve as a long-iron replacement. The adjustable sleeve then lets you shift each head up or down a couple of degrees to fill the exact gap you need.
