“I’ve been using TaylorMade clubs since I turned pro, until 2019,” Haotong Li said in a statement.

“I love the way TaylorMade drivers are designed, the feel is great and the ball speed is something I like to see.

“I’m quite sensitive to how the driver looks, but as soon as I saw Stealth I loved it. I had tighter dispersion than any other driver and it was straight in my bag.”
