Carbon fibre faces are nothing new, with a few largely unsuccessful and unmemorable drivers released over the past couple of decades.

The problem with previous attempts was that despite the weight savings gained, carbon fibre faces simply couldn’t outperform good ol’ titanium.

And yeah, they sounded terrible.

But the new carbon fibre face on the Stealth driver range has burst through the performance barrier thanks to years of research and a new nanotexture face coating.

It translates to the new Stealth carbon fibre face performing and sounding better than its SIM2 predecessor.

60x Carbdon Twist Face
Comprised of 60 carbon-fibre layers, the Stealth face is a massive 44 per cent lighter than a comparable titanium face. It transfers energy into the ball with greater efficiency for extra distance and it’s also larger, increasing forgiveness and consistency when strikes are off-centre.

Nanotexture Cover
Years of painstaking research has produced a revolutionary polyurethane wrap on the 60x carbon fibre Twist Face. The breakthrough nanotexture formulation optimises launch and spin rates in both wet and dry conditions, making Stealth drivers ultra-consistent in any weather.

Inertia Generator
Continuing the slippery sole architecture established by SIM, the inertia generator on Stealth drivers focuses the CG low to improve launch and distance. And its asymmetric positioning is aerodynamically efficient, boosting swing speed where it really counts: on the downswing.

Thru-slot Speed Pocket
The most flexible Speed Pocket TaylorMade has ever designed contributes to the Stealth drivers’ impressive levels of forgiveness. Low strikes on the face escape punishment, with the Stealth’s Speed Pocket springing into action to maximise ball speed and crush drives high and long.

Technology and performance unite in the Stealth fairway wood line-up, with some tweaking by the gang at TaylorMade producing some serious clubs for any skill level.

While the carbon-fibre face used on the Stealth driver didn’t make it on to their fairway wood cousins, the 3D carbon-fibre crown, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket and Twist Face tech did. And TaylorMade’s well-regarded V-Steel fairway wood sole makes a return appearance, too.

Fairway woods can be notoriously difficult to hit with consistency. But the new Stealth line-up is faster, straighter, more forgiving - and extremely versatile off the tee.

Breaking it down, the pair of Stealth fairway woods are just Stealth-ier: they’re easy to hit, whether you’re an elite ball striker or among the vast majority who are not.

Itching to ditch your long irons in favour of a couple of rescues?

Before you head down that path, the new TaylorMade Stealth rescues should really be in your wheelhouse.

While the spotlight is always on the driver line-up in any new release, the new Stealth rescues are heavy hitters in their own right.

Two distinct models encompass a large range of versatility, workability and, dare we say it, invincibility from any lie.

With a rollcall like that, Stealth rescues deserve some of the spotlight.

In the game improvement iron category, the new TaylorMade Stealth irons pull off an amazing trick.

They are unashamedly distance irons, designed to belt the living suitcase out of the ball to gain extra yards for golfers with, shall we say, sub-optimal ball-striking talent.

However, they do it with the graceful feel of a forged iron.

Stealth irons have been made longer by what TaylorMade call Toe Wrap technology, which takes a huge bite out of the toe area and repurposes it at the bottom of the iron head.

And most golfing gearheads know that when that occurs, launch, spin and distance all take a big leap forward.
