TaylorMade Stealth 2 woods are new for 2023 with an upgraded version of the model launched. What are the differences vs the Stealth fairway woods?

Part of the new Stealth 2 family of drivers and hybrids, the fairway woods feature three separate models this time around with the Stealth and Stealth Plus back along with a new HD version.

The Stealth 2 woods have been given a makeover rather than radically altered with a 3D carbon crown once again joined by a V Steel sole and titanium face.

In this article, we take a look at what to expect from the Stealth 2 range and the options available across the three fairways woods designs.

What TaylorMade says about the Stealth 2 Woods range:

“Built from carbon DNA, the Stealth 2 fairway creates high MOI performance and precision playability using advanced multi-material construction.

“With a 3D carbon crown and precision CG for higher launch, the all-new Stealth 2 Fairway is like a cheat code. Helping you take on any shot that stands in your way.

“With the all-new Stealth 2 Fairway, we took CG even lower than the original Stealth design. The reshaped 3D carbon crown pulls mass away from the high toe, making way for a heavy internal weight to be positioned at the rear of the club.

“Inverted Cone Technology has given golfers speed and performance for years. In 2023, engineers tweaked the recipe to make it even more potent.

“The advanced face design is thinnest at true center and around the edges, with a thicker mantle surrounding center face. It is made to maximize speed across the face and enhance durability.

“V Steel is a modern classic. This iconic TaylorMade technology stays true to its heritage by improving turf interaction and versatility. A more rounded leading edge provides another level of playability and performance from a variety of lies.”

TaylorMade Stealth 2 Woods Specs & Design

The Stealth 2 fairway woods have been tweaked rather than radically altered as TaylorMade search for more distance, speed and forgiveness in the latest version.

The woods feature a 3D carbon crown that has been reshaped, a refined V Steel sole that was used in the original model and a strong face featuring Twist Face Technology.

The lightweight carbon construction of the crown has been altered to remove weight from the toe and position it deep in the clubhead for an optimal launch and maximum forgiveness from these fairways.

“The V Steel design now has a more rounded leading edge to provide better turf interaction and ball striking regardless of the lie you encounter.

TaylorMade’s Twist Face Technology is also back with even more forgiveness from across the face of the C300 steel face, which features Inverted Cone Technology – a thicker mantle surrounding the sweet spot.

TaylorMade’s Thru-Slot Speed Pocket sits behind the face and produces impressive ball speeds even on mishits from off-center strikes.

The Stealth 2 woods are available in 3-wood (15 degrees), 3HL-wood (16.5 degrees), 5-wood (18 degrees), 7-wood (21 degrees) and 9-wood (24 degrees) with a hosel for adjustability.

TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD Woods Specs & Design

Like the Stealth 2 drivers range, TaylorMade have also now added a High Draw (HD) version of the fairway woods to their list of models.

Largely the same as the Stealth 2 in terms of design and looks, this HD version has more weight positioned towards the heel for a draw-bias shot shape.

The lofts in these fairways are also slightly weaker than the standard version to promote the higher launch and ball flight.

The High Draw woods also feature the combined carbon crown and V Steel sole design that has proven incredibly popular over the last 12 months in the original Stealth.

The fairways also have the Twist Face Technology, C300 steel face and the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket to deliver fast ball speeds.

The Stealth 2 HD woods are available in 3-wood (16.5 degrees), 5-wood (19 degrees) and 7-wood (23 degrees).

Verdict: Are the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Fairway Woods any good?

The Stealth fairways really caught the eye when launched in 2022 and performed as well on the course as they looked.

The second generation is new for 2023 and is more evolutionary than revolutionary with the tweaks made designed to provide a higher launch, more carry and distance but also more forgiveness.

With a choice of three models following the addition of the High Draw model, TaylorMade certainly have you covered with the Stealth 2 woods.
