Tour 페어웨이 우드

The Stealth Plus was TaylorMade's big swing at retiring titanium. For 20 years drivers used titanium faces, and in 2022 TaylorMade replaced it with the 60X Carbon Twist Face, a red carbon fiber face wrapped in a Nano Texture cover that managed friction and spin at impact. That's the headline, and it's not marketing fluff. Carbon is lighter than titanium, so the weight saved got pushed around the head to work for you.

This is the low-spin, players-leaning model of the Stealth family. Where the standard Stealth chased forgiveness and the Stealth HD chased a draw, the Plus is the one built to knock spin down and let better players shape shots. It has a sliding weight track on the sole, a 10-gram movable weight you can slide from heel to toe to bias your ball flight. Pair that with the adjustable loft sleeve and you get real control over launch, spin, and shape.

Understand what you're buying. The Plus rewards a repeatable swing and center-face contact. Miss the sweet spot and it won't cover for you the way a bigger, deeper-weighted head would. But catch it flush and the spin numbers drop, the ball flight flattens out, and you get the kind of penetrating drive that runs.

• Faster swing speeds that generate too much spin with a standard driver and need help bringing it down
• Better ball strikers who catch the center of the face consistently and want to shape shots both ways
• Players who actually use adjustability instead of setting a driver once and forgetting it
• Anyone chasing lower, more penetrating ball flight with more rollout off the tee

자주 묻는 질문

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

The Plus is the low-spin, adjustable model with a sliding weight track on the sole, aimed at better players. The standard Stealth has a fixed rear weight tuned for forgiveness and a slightly higher launch. If you spin the ball too much or want to work shots, the Plus is the one. If you want the most stability on off-center hits, the standard Stealth is friendlier.

Is the carbon face actually better than titanium?

It's lighter, which is the real advantage. That saved weight got moved to lower the center of gravity and feed the adjustable track. The face also feels and sounds different from titanium, a bit more muted, so demo it before you decide. The Nano Texture coating on the carbon is what keeps spin in a usable range.

How does the sliding weight work on the Stealth Plus?

There's a 10-gram weight in a track on the sole. Slide it toward the heel to encourage a draw, toward the toe to help hold off a hook or hit fades. It's a genuine ball-flight bias, not a gimmick, though it won't fix a serious swing fault on its own.

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

For many mid handicappers, yes. The low-spin, tour-shaped head asks for center-face contact and a repeatable swing. If your strike is inconsistent, the standard Stealth or Stealth HD will give you more forgiveness and an easier launch. If your speed is high and your contact is solid, the Plus can work regardless of your handicap number.

Can I adjust the loft on the Stealth Plus?

Yes. It has an adjustable loft sleeve that lets you raise or lower loft and change face angle, on top of the sliding weight. Between the two you can dial launch, spin, and shot shape to fit your swing rather than settling for a fixed setup.
