TECH:
A softer 8620 carbon steel head than Ping’s standard Glide 2.0 (431 stainless steel) which, Ping says, along with the precision-milled grooves, delivers softer feel and higher spinning shots. The tourinspired black finish yields less glare and makes the head appear smaller. An extra groove low on the face of the 56°, 58° and 60° lofts increases spin and control for shots hit low on the face.
WE SAY:
In the Glide 2.0 a small cavity is teamed with a hollow weighting port behind the face, increasing MOI and aiding forgiveness over a fullon blade. All three testers were very positive about the Stealth’s head shape, size and colour, but it was only by testing on a launch monitor and analysing the data afterwards we saw how backspin was quite low. It doesn’t mean the Stealth doesn’t spin, but you should select a shaft very carefully as it will help maximise results.
