TaylorMade Golf Stealth Rescue/Hybrid #4 (22* Regular VENTUS RED Shaft)

Product Information

This should be a go-to hybrid for anyone buying off the shelf because of its extremely stable performance and the ability to adjust the hosel to reduce dispersion.” With the Stealth, the weight is shifted lower in the head to allow for easy launch and better stability through impact. Made from carbon, it elevates performance for golfers of all skill levels. Plus, it’s powered by a redesigned V Steel sole with precision weighting, providing high launch and forgiveness.

As mentioned in the data section from my Flightscope testing I did see a few shots which came out quite low out on the golf course. This is to be expected when hitting out of the rough and I also don’t mind it with a hybrid because it can be useful when hitting into the wind or if conditions are firm, in the same way that a long iron is. But it’s worth bearing in mind that you may be prone to the odd bullet with plenty of run. File that little nugget under information that won’t show up during robot testing. Score one for the humans. If I was to use one word to describe the Stealth Rescue on the course, it would be ‘easy’. It felt easy to swing, easy to launch and there was plenty of forgiveness from a variety of different lies and scenarios.

Here’s why Vijay Singh has red numbers written all over his irons

The TSi2 is a hybrid designed with the perfect balance between optimizing forgiveness while also offering playability for golfers with a more shallow delivery into the ball. Compared to the TSi3, which is one of the smallest hybrids Titleist has ever produced, and the TSi1 which is the largest, the TSi2 fits comfortably in the middle in terms of size and has low and deeper CG to create higher launch conditions for those who need it. It did feel really easy to launch, and the shots I hit were quite high and not too powerful, which is a problem I see personally with hybrids. The spin was fairly consistent, and I’d be quite happy hitting it at a green knowing it had some stopping power. The Taylormade Stealth 2 hybrid will go in many golfers’ bags in the 2023 season. It looks like a premium players club, but with the amount of tech in the head, it actually plays much more forgiving than it looks. TaylorMade Stealth fairway wood and hybrids. We’ll get to the obligatory features and benefits in a moment.

I did see most of my misses out to the left, which is a common miss for me with a hybrid, although I think it was more than manageable and I could hit fades pretty easily if I wanted to. The face is super hot and fits a lot of golfers. So easy to hit with tons of forgiveness, we have seen a lot of players gain more distance and tighten up their dispersion.” It’s much less pronounced than the original V-Steel fairway woods but careful sole shaping ensures turf interaction doesn’t result in lost speed, whilst ensuring maximum versatility.

We tested over 30 different Flymill patterns in developing our new Perpetual Flymill face which provides superior feel and remarkable control.” said Sam Bettinardi, President of Bettinardi Golf. “This new method makes the face pattern exactly repeatable, creating tactile uniformity across the entire series.” 2024 Bettinardi BB Series: Key technology Our commitment to craftsmanship and relentless dedication to the game of golf has allowed us to create our most innovative BB Series line yet,” said Robert J.

Some elite players may like the smaller iron-like profile of the Stealth Plus but I can imagine that the majority of golfers could use this as a long iron replacement. I will be interesting to see whether the likes of Rory McIlroy opt t add the Stealth Rescue to their bag this year. Would I Use Them? Titleist has never put a large focus of its R&D into hybrids designed for moderate speed players. Instead, most of the work has been used to focus on hybrids designed for higher speed golfers—that is until now. Like the rest of the TSi1 metal woods, the hybrids are about greater MOI and launch, and the new TSi1’s are the highest MOI hybrid Titleist has ever built. They are on average 20 grams lighter than a standard hybrid and feature a larger profile “wood-style” design to generate more green holding spin.

The best way to describe the Ping G425 hybrids is as mini iron-replacing fairway woods. The hybrids share all of the same Facewrap and Spinsistency technologies as the G425 fairways but are intended to launch higher and stop faster to create playable trajectories for golfers that need stopping power—all the way down to a 7-iron-replacing 34 degree. The V-Steel Sole produced pretty consistent results whether from the fairway or the rough. If you really catch one heavy then you may still suffer but on those shots where you just don’t quite catch it right, you should feel the club working to keep moving through the turf and so your shots shouldn’t be quite so badly affected. I tested the Stealth Hybrid using the Flightscope Mevo+ launch monitor and my usual Titleist Pro V1x golf balls, and it performed well despite the fact that I tested it in near-freezing conditions. You can almost think of the TSi1 hybrid like a mini fairway wood—it just wants to go high and straight. If you find yourself hitting shots on the front portions of greens and they are rolling all the way through the green then you need more spin and a steeper descent angle and you will get that with these hybrids.” Boasting a classic, rounded fairway wood styling, the TaylorMade Stealth Hybrid is set to replace the SIM2 Max hybrid.We selected this format for hybrid clubs because every golfer fits into one of these two “want” categories, regardless of age, handicap, or gender. For many golfers, forgiveness is the number one factor when selecting the hybrids that will go into their bag.
