TAYLORMADE STEALTH PLUS £499

Lofts 8° / 9° / 10.5°

The tech Taylormade have slotted their new carbon-fibre face into three driver models, each designed to cover off different player preference­s. The Plus+ has a sliding weight track located behind the face, which neither of the other models have. In that track a 10g weight allows golfers to dial in a preferred shot shape and/or boost ball speed by locating the weight directly behind the golfer’s typical impact position. We’ve crowned it our best low-spin driver of 2022.

Perfect for Golfers who want to chase distance through lowering spin, and players who like either a more workable driver or have a preference to see drives fly with a particular shot shape.

TAYLORMADE STEALTH £469 Lofts 9° / 10.5° / 12°

The tech With no sliding sole weight, or needing to tie up any of the mass freed up from the new carbon face to create a track, the Stealth has a 15% higher MOI than the Stealth Plus+. That means golfers get extra forgivenes­s and ball speed protection when shots are sprayed across the driver face. The Stealth is very much the mass market model, which means it will be the most popular and biggest selling within the family.

Perfect for Players looking for a mid-high launch driver that offers mid-low spin. Compared to the Stealth HD, expect a more neutral ball flight shape, but with similar levels of forgivenes­s.

TAYLORMADE STEALTH HD £469

Lofts 9° / 10.5° / 12° (10.5° / 12° women’s)

The tech HD stands for High Draw, which means the model is specifical­ly designed to eliminate the distance-sucking slice that afflicts tons of club golfers. But what’s new with the HD, that’s not always the case with all draw drivers, is that it doesn’t sacrifice forgivenes­s to get a right-to-left ball flight. Unbeknown to most golfers, some competitor draw drivers, by inadverten­tly lumping weight in the heel, accidental­ly lower MOI and off-centre hit forgivenes­s. That isn’t the case with the Stealth HD. The women’s Stealth HD has the same forgivenes­s tech.

Perfect for Golfers who need a high-launch, midspin driver with maximum draw bias, thanks to its lighter, higher launching Fujikura Air Speeder shaft and adjusted internal weighting.
