Taylormade Stealth

[HomerJSimpson]

Few pictures emerging of the new for 2022 TM "Stealth" driver. Looks a bit jazzy for my liking and I've not been overly impressed with the last few TM drivers. I'm a magpie and like to have a hit of most new clubs and while the TM irons are still decent the drivers haven't thrilled me. This one certainly looks a bit bold

My initial thought as well. Thought I read somewhere it has a carbon face but it just looks so brash and busy. I haven't been a TM driver fan for a while and unless it looks better in real life I think this will look off putting behind the ball.

Love my m2, won’t be trading it in for that!

Dragons den style, I’m out.

Crown view is the only.one worth getting excited about.

Unless you've got some crazy swing that lets you see the face and/or sole plate during your swing

 

[BiMGuy]

Only thing that matters is how the face sits at address, and how it performs.

It’s different, so will have its detractors, probably the sort of people who choose their clubs based on what it looks like on a the rack. But I’m sure they will sell load of them.

Here's a picture of the crown

The middle not actually being in the middle and more hosel side is still annoying.

Let's be honest it looks awful. It will likely sell loads.

 

[Bobthesock]

Fully expect to see this in seniors and high handicappers bags everywhere by summer. 400 quid for an extra half yard, bargain.

 

[Dando]

It’s got a face only a mother could love

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Okay, I'll be the first one. I like it, it looks mean. I won't be buying it but if someone wants to give me one I'll happily use it ?

But, but, but, but, it's 60X Carbon with TwistFace and a Speed Pocket!

I was talking to my pro last weekend and he was saying that one of his fellow pros had been out in Spain for a testing event with Taylormade for the new driver.

He made some very bold claims about it being 20 years in the making and gains (20 yards?!) that the pros had seen. Apparently they wanted it in the bag now it was so good, but TM wouldn’t let them.

Anyway, I put all that down to TM marketing trying to generate some buzz and struggled to believe the distance bit of it in particular. I wouldn’t attach any significance to it as it’s all a bit Chinese whispers!

I like TM drivers, currently have an R15 and will be looking to get something new soon, but probably do what I usually do and just get a slightly newer one than i currently have, but still a couple of years old!

Is the correct answer.....

He's not the only one who's been saying this but once the likes of TXG get hold of it and do a like for like test vs this year's driver the jury will be out as to whether or not these rumours have any truth in them.

with those gains, some golfers on here will be hitting 150 yards!

Yes, I always take these rumours with a giant pinch of salt as the marketing machine will be in overdrive from now through to release and beyond.

Will be interesting to see how different the technology being deployed really is, and what the difference is from a data perspective.
