Taylormade Stealth Vs Taylormade Stealth Plus Comparison Overview

For the most part, major golf club manufacturers release different versions of new clubs.

They do this to appeal to as many types of players as possible, which is a good thing. The downside is that  these different versions typically have all the same base features which can make deciphering the true differences between them rather difficult.

Such is the case for the Taylormade Stealth fairway woods. When the Taylormade Stealth fairway woods were released last year, they came in two varieties: the standard Taylormade Stealth and the Taylormade Stealth Plus. Which one is right for your game? Let’s find out.

Taylormade Stealth Fairway Wood Overview

 

“The Taylormade Stealth fairway wood is supposed to be the most forgiving of the two versions.”

And when we got our hands on both clubs, we could see why. First, we’re going to start with what’s different between the Taylormade Stealth and the Taylormade Stealth Plus. The Taylormade Stealth has a 190cc head volume while the Plus version has a 175cc head volume.

The Taylormade Stealth also has a C300 maraging steel face construction while Taylormade stayed with titanium for the Plus version. The standard Stealth features a carbon crown as well.  Lastly, the Taylormade Stealth does not have an adjustable loft sleeve while the Plus version does. Other than that, everything is the same. Our testers confirmed that the Taylormade Stealth was indeed easier to hit with and produced a naturally higher launch.

Taylormade Stealth Plus Fairway Wood Overview

“In this section we’ll tell you what the standard and Plus models have in common.”

Both fairway woods feature the V-steel sole panel that helps lower CG, the Speed Pocket that promotes forgiveness on low-face shots and twist face technology that preserves loft and ball speed on errant strikes.

By far, the Taylormade Stealth Plus was more workable. Our better players were able to bend the ball almost at will – even from the rough. The adjustable loft sleeve will also come in handy when you need to adjust your angle of attack.

“The bottom line is that the Taylormade Stealth Plus is more beneficial and better-suited to mid and low handicap players. Its smaller head and adjustable loft will allow you to work the ball from almost any lie (thanks to the V-steel sole panel), up-and-down and side-to-side. The Taylormade Stealth is better for high handicap players.”
