Look, Sound and Feel
The Stealth 2 Plus features a sleek, modern appearance with a black carbon fiber finish and red accents. It ranks highly in our testing for sound and feel, and above average for looks and likelihood of repurchase.
Look
The clubhead's sleek, aerodynamic shape and matte black finish give it a modern, confident presence at address, with subtle branding that adds to the aesthetic without overdoing it, a blend of classic and modern that appeals to a wide range of golfers.
Sound
Impact produces a relatively quiet, solid "tick" at center face, shifting to a "tock" as contact moves off-center, enough of a change to know you've missed, without losing the soft, solid feel golfers love about this generation of TaylorMade drivers. An improvement over the original Stealth Plus.
Feel
Precision-crafted weight distribution gives a balanced, comfortable feel through the swing, with an ergonomic grip and shaft. The feedback through your hands is calibrated well: enough to trust, not so much that it's distracting.
Pros
- Longer and more forgiving than the original Stealth Plus
- Strong ball flight with sole adjustability
- Feel is better than ever
- In the bag of some of the world's best players
- MyStealth customization is a nice bonus option
- Very workable
Cons
- Spin and trajectory will be too low for some
- Expensive
Who Is the Stealth 2 Plus For?
- Golfers who generate higher spin numbers and want to bring it down.
- Players looking for a more fade-biased club.
- Golfers who want to optimize launch and trajectory conditions.
The driver's low-spin characteristics won't suit every player, but golfers who can benefit from reduced spin will find the Stealth 2 Plus an excellent choice. It packs plenty of forgiveness and distance, and all but the very highest handicaps could reasonably put it in play.

Features and Benefits
All-New Carbon Twisted Face
Maximizes ball speed and distance across the face, including on off-center hits, crucial for golfers who want consistent distance even on a slight mishit.
Asymmetric Inertia Generator
Redistributes weight within the clubhead asymmetrically, promoting increased forgiveness and stability on mishits.
Sliding Weight Track
Lets golfers adjust the center of gravity to influence ball flight and launch conditions, a real fine-tuning tool for specific situations or shot preferences.
4° Loft Sleeve
Adjusts loft and face angle so golfers can fine-tune launch conditions and ball flight to match their swing.
Flight Bias
Adjustable settings let golfers influence whether shots tend to draw, fade, or stay neutral, valuable for addressing a specific ball-flight tendency.
Spin, Launch & Forgiveness
Engineered for low spin and a mid-launch trajectory, a versatile profile balancing distance and control, with high forgiveness from the asymmetric design and face technology helping maintain performance even on off-center hits.
Hand and Loft Options
Available in right-handed and left-handed configurations, with 8°, 9°, and 10.5° loft options to match your swing and conditions.
Conclusion
The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus delivers what better players actually want in a driver: real workability and control, backed by legitimate distance potential and enough forgiveness to survive a mishit. It matches or outclasses the original Stealth Plus in nearly every respect.
The look can be a bit polarizing depending on your taste, and, as with any low-spin, better-player driver, off-center hits will cost you more than they would on a max-forgiveness game-improvement driver. That tradeoff is exactly the point for the golfer this club is built for.
