And despite living in NYC, Eric makes it a priority to work on his game and fitness during the week, along with a round or two over the weekend. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter.

Inline Feedbacks. This creates advanced aerodynamics in the downswing and into impact. The interesting face pattern is down to the face technology. This is a nanotexture cover made from a thin polyurethane layer that creates a strong yet flexible striking surface to optimise distance by improving the launch in both dry and wet conditions.
It does this by creating the ideal amount of friction between the face and the ball at impact to reduce spin in dry conditions. It also has full-face shorelines to improve spin performance in wet weather.
TaylorMade were also careful to fine-tune the acoustics to make sure the sound and feel of Stealth was bright and powerful. More info: TaylorMade website. Welcome to the carbonwood age: How TaylorMade Stealth will change the industry forever. TaylorMade Stealth Plus Thanks to weight savings from the new carbon head, TaylorMade have been able to add a gram sliding weight track to help golfers control shot shape.
Buyer's Guide: Best waterproof jackets. Bombs away! What this perhaps suggests is that Stealth will utilize carbon differently than in previous TaylorMade drivers. With that, too many of us probably remember previous carbon-face failures such as the Callaway C4. The primary foible with past attempts is that while much lighter than titanium, carbon is quite a bit more expensive.
Side Note: The gear head with a penchant for Japanese gear might remember the TaylorMade Royal Gloire, a composite-face driver launched in Between the Stealth and Stealth Plus, the latter appears to be the more adjustable of the two. The weight track looks to contain a gram moveable weight, allowing the golfer to introduce additional draw or fade shot-shape bias. So, TBD on that. Why, might you ask? Again, just a guess.
Or, it might be that TaylorMade compressed three offerings into two. Again, TBD. If this is some version of what many people are thinking it might be, the litany of questions is robust. Did TaylorMade finally solve the carbon-face conundrum? If so, other than weight, what are the clear performance benefits? Are other manufacturers likely to follow suit? If so, how long might that take?
Will I need an additional mortgage to afford one? And on and on and on…. Chris is a self-diagnosed equipment and golf junkie with a penchant for top-shelf ice cream. When he's not coaching the local high school team, he's probably on the range or trying to keep up with his wife and seven beautiful daughters. Chris is based out of Fort Collins, CO and his neighbors believe long brown boxes are simply part of his porch decor. The truth just sounds different.
Especially since TM uses watered-down shafts, compared to most of the rest of the manufacturers. These club makers had their costs go up due to the supply chain issue and they will just pass that on to the consumer.
Ping already raised their costs to retailers and consumers a few months ago. Like trading in your Ford for a Ford…. Wow … pretty ugly beast , kinda looks like a walmart styled driver on the sole there , not sure if I can slide into this one. Life long taylormade fan that lives in Taylormade Inventors hometown , played just about all of there drivers , currently still lovin my Sim 1st gen , quite a improvement from my old M3 , but this thing?
I hope you get a free bowl of soup with this driver cause the styling is off on this one. The top of the drivers are obviously composite as well as the face , The face has 60 layers of composite which is about 22 gams lighter than titanium.
Ball jumped off the face more than I thought it would. In all there testing they have not had a face fail rep. I use a Taylormade R1. Does anyone no where I can see a comparison between my R1 and newer clubs? Where did you eat Taylor made was not in the top three of bio satisfaction?
I actually had an opportunity to see some very good players hit these and their new fairway woods a couple of weeks ago. The numbers were outstanding and I will say everyone walked away super impressed. Putters looked and felt awesome as well. Tbh, drivers are maxed out for distance and the tech in all these clubs is boring to me. I order for these companies to continue to make huge profits on these clubs they are gonna have to rely more on marketing rather than new tech.
What else can u do? Without numbers and testimony from outside sources this is just advertising smoke and mirrors.. For what? Give me a break. TM sucks. Always will. Ive been running the gamut on TM with these terrible products. Irons cave in, m3 drivers crack, i contact TM they replace for free, then i sell the replaced set or club and go buy q reputable product.
MGS has not had a most wanted TM product other than a putter and a wedge in…………….? Logic and facts are what MyGolfSpy provides. I provide my opinion. I appreciate yours. Welp another confused golfer.. Thanks for the highly intelligent comment. I look at the math this way. It wont give you 5 yards even unless your current driver is not well fitted, drivers have basically not moved for 10 years. You are certainly allowed to have your opinion.
You are correct that drivers cannot be increased as far a COR coefficient of restitution. That does not mean, using the same COR, a driver design cannot change, for the better, the launch conditions launch angle and spin as well as move the weight to make the COR spread more across the face meaning it is more forgiving.
That will increase your average drive distance. Golf companies have been offering low spin models weight closer to the face and forgiving models, weight lower and further back. If a company can combine a low spin with a forgiving model then there are improvements to be had despite being constrained by COR.
That is how a new model can claim a ball speed gain. And add another 15 to 20 yards to my already monster drives. Kind of like looking up a big butt. These comments are pure gold, and I love the Tommy Boy reference.
Or would I? Keep those new patents going so they can control the selling price on all their equipment…. Yes I would like to sign up for your newsletter. Thank you for your reviews. Shaft offering will also not be any better than in years past. Worst idea in history. But the original Sim driver was solid. No way in hell what I drop that much money. I have to believe that any of last year models at roughly half the price would suit me just fine.
This equipment cost nonsense is getting truly absurd.
