I recently upgraded from the Taylormade M5 driver to this, I have the Aldila Accent shaft in 60 grams stiff shaft, I absolutely love this driver, I've been hitting the ball more constantly and about 10 yards further, it sounds awesome too
at the 8:20 mark your comment of "oh yea, oh yea" as the shot tracker makes it look like you put it in the trees reminds me of my own game. (yea i know you went over the trees, as you always do)💪
Just got fitted for the plus. Ordered it. I have been playing the same clubs since 2007. The tech and experience today is amazing. I cannot to take it to the course. 45 yards better than my old driver. Exponentially more accurate
I love my 8 degree Stealth! The low flight and roll outs are perfect in steady 15-20 mph wind and it’s always straight! Hello, greens on regulation! I got a great assistant !
@@tomsanger5548 I got the Tour Edge C721 last year and I love. Had the Callaway Epic before that and loved it too but I change every 3 years. They don't make bad clubs anymore. At least not the major brands.
@@jimmyReesby Bought a used M2 with an Oban Kiyoshi in it for cheap and thought it was an upgrade to my RBZ Tour. Shocked when I went back to the RBZ since it was superior in every way. Bought an old KZG Gemini 460 with a Fujikura Fit On shaft in it for 2 bucks at Goodwill and my friend hits it better and more accurately than any driver he's tried and he carries about 270. Great solid feel too. Unless you're up in the upper echelons of players there are a lot of drivers that you can get cheap that perform just as well. I just bought a near mint RBZ Tour with a Matrix Ozik RUL shaft in it for 100 bucks on eBay. Betting that will be the bomb when I get it.
Best reviews on RUclips as usual James very professional, and you test the driver against it's predecessor which I'm sure is the thing everyone wants to see and know the answers to 👍
Checking in a year later. I bought a stealth right off the rack and I couldn’t his a fairway as hard as I tried. Went to trade it back in for my old M4 but the shop owner fitted me for the HD and It’s been my best driver ever.
Yonex had a carbon faced driver in the 80s mine cracked after 2 years it also had grooves in the face as well, my metal faced driver from the same time is still in my bag
@@JamesRobinsonGolf I’m definitely up for that mate, struggling with my back again unfortunately, slipped a disc again just before Christmas so I’m hoping to get back out there again shortly. Would love to meet up when spring gets here so we can hopefully play in some good weather
James, Thanks for the review. I would love to see a comparison of the latest T-M drivers, with the minimum number of differences (only the head design) e.g., the same shaft, loft, etc.
This is a pretty good review. Sure would like to see dispersion though. Most of us understand we're not going to get 20-30 more yards in length with new drivers and most wouldn't pay $600 for 3 yards longer, but I would pay $600 for 3 yards closer to my intended target line.
Chris - You must be a low handicapper or scratch player to be willing to pay $600 to be 3 yards closer to your intended target line. This implies you have consistent dispersion with your current driver with few errant shots. Expensive equipment in the hands of mediocre or poor players may give negligible improvements over cheap equipment.
I'd just keep practicing my short game and spend the $600 on beers throughout the year, lamenting at the clubhouse that I wasn't 3 yards closer on #4......
The "Plus" looks like it's flying like an Iron and Wow!!!! gain a whole 3 yards or so for $600 additional USD... No thanks. Thanks for the video James!!! and as always the hard work.
Thanks for review, I just got sim 2 max this year fitted, I like the look of it much more and if they this close I will definitely just be keeping my driver thank you
I watch all these new driver releases and always say the same thing - MEH! So long as you have a driver from the last 3-5yrs you're OK. They don't seem to improve much going year on year.. Yes this is now a carbon face but i'm waiting for this type of driver to be 12/24months old in the hands of someone who plays every few days before I decide if that face can hold up to the torture or not. Carbon is a great material but something tells me we'll be seeing lots of cracked faces in the coming months. And if it doesn't offer much of an improvement over titanium, then what's the point? Great review, though! Liking this new style of driver review! :)
When you said it had a damp sound my mind instantly went back to when balata's first came out and we were all still using persimmon blocks... it sounded like a wet fart hitting them. I still think that was the best sound. Then we had the tink noise of the steel head. Then the ting of the titanium. Now the tank of the carbon....
As always, good review James. If you have a driver older than 6-7 years old, you are going to see some improvements in distance and accuracy....with any modern driver! Yes, it's a new material, but the PGA limits MOI and this driver, and all drivers approved for play, must conform to their standards. If you want one, great, go get it. However, there are plenty of good enough options on the market for most of us. Spend your money on some lessons and get a fitting. That will be worth WAY more than a new driver by itself.
What the PGA R&A etc. don't limit is ball speed across the face and spin on off centre hits. That is to say most modern drivers have a big drop off in distance and accuracy for off centre hits. Low strikes spin way higher, for eg. cost lots of distance. For us amateurs that don't hit the centre of the face on the driver very often it's the off centre results that count much more than the centred hits which will be virtually identical with any current driver. This is what you have to look at for gains in this day and age of golf.
Back in the DAY, Yonex had an ALL carbon driver the ADX 100 and was a LONG hitting son of a gun .... BUT the carbon face did NOT last long, especially if your ranges had lots of sand as the sand just pitted the crap out of it, and after a few years it would lose small chunks of carbon. After that they went to a titanium face with an all-carbon head.
Nice review James. Stunning looking drivers, and you were hitting them particularly nicely. When you went indoors and provided the figures at the end of the video, you only provided numbers for the Stealth +. Can you provide the figures for the Stealth model please? Keep up the great work!
James would have liked you to show side to side differences as well as long and short. Have Callaway GBB sub zero. Think it is 5-6 years old. Would love to see you compare them. I think Stealth should be about 15-20 yards longer (3-4 yards per year). Would like to see dispersion
James, I FNALLY, ordered stealth irons 4-lw and a stealth driver from Taylormade tonite. After 35 years, when i bought Taylormade Burner Bubble OS irons and woods. I am looking for game improvement and more distance. What do you think?
Depends on your club head speed. If you are a low handicapper and big hitter the difference will be tremendous. For the average player most drivers in the last 10 years won't make a huge difference. My RBZ Tour is longer and more consistent than the M2 that had a $300 aftermarket shaft I picked up super cheap.
This might be the year..I’m still rocking the Titleist 913 D2. Any chance you have one of those in a corner somewhere for comparison? Love the video James .
i have only had my sim 2 drivere for a couple of months and i love it , it does annoy me when a new drivers are bought out so quickly i also believe that manufactures should offer really good part exchange rates when they do this as it feels like you are being ripped off i no there will be minimum differances but you always want the latest driver come on taylomade do something no over manufacturer does allow us sim 2 owners to trade up for minimum cost great review James and a stunning looking driver and i love the red
2 ways of looking at it. I've just bought 3 X Vokey wedges custom fit. They cost me £30 a wedge less than launch price. Nice savings. Recently I've seen SIM2 for at least £110 less than launch price... Now if I'd have waited and bought the SIM2 driver at the end of the run rather than launch time I probably wouldn't be too pissed at a new bells and whistles Stealth driver coming out at a much higher price point. It's going to be a £500 club. So effectively buying the SIM2 at the end of the run will be a beefy saving over the Stealth. Enjoy your SIM2 it's still a beast.
Either you can afford to "always want the new driver", in which case why are you complaining, or if you can't afford to "always want the new driver", show some restraint and learn to enjoy what you have. The SIM2 is a better driver than what 90% of amateur golfers play. If you want the latest and greatest be prepared to pay the R&D and marketing tax.
Another reviewer who shall remain nameless as we're all waiting to see his response to your The Showdown Challenge! (😉) mentioned a similarity in looks with the 'ol Nike Covert. Got me thinking: is it a nod to a reimagined Nike Covert? Let's compare: Covert - Stealth? Very similarly meaning names. Bottom of heads are black/red, instead of a red top (Covert) it's now a red face. In both Nike and TM one head option sports a silver edged highlight to it. I have to conclude TM designers definitely were eyeballing the Nike Covert in basic head design and a bold name steal! If I were PING, I'd be pissed lol as they're the ones that purchased Nike Golf patents 😏 Anywho Robo, a great review and I have to say..a more entertaining review then He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named 💥👊😎⛳
Thank you for a great video! Could you do a quick review on how much more forgiving the Stealth is versus the Stealth +? Is it significant? Any further input on that?
@@JamesRobinsonGolf thanks for the quick response! I am in the US and the stock offerings for the stealth on preorder are the Fuji ventus red and the aldila ascent red. I am currently gaming the 2017 m2 with the Fuji xlr8 pro shaft.
Thank you for the timely review. I appreciate your work ethic and the quality of your vids! Regarding this driver: Time will tell and I suppose we’ll know this is the future if Ping adopts the tech.

Time will tell- Thanks again for your channel- it brings me happiness and inspiration each morning.
Carbon is not affected by heat - all pro-level race bikes are carbon. Bend/shock doesn't affect carbon much though it creates micro-cracks that in time will cause degradation and lose of resilience (if you hit at full speed on cement that is something else...). However, it will unlike metals hold it shape (no bending). The dangerous thing for carbon is twisting. Hope this helps...
@@christianvachon2235 the polyurethane is likely more worrisome than the carbon fiber for durability…. I use it with my occupation and with time it becomes brittle and is prone to fracture….
@@brentmeister1072 They are for waterproofness, but it is true that polyurethanes are prone to cracking. For me, more than the carbon, that would be the issue for durability. Also depends on thickness - hopefully they will release more info.
I really enjoyed this as well as the comparison of the old R7 and the SIM2..as much as I play, I think I will just keep the R7...lol. No Stealth for me.

How does it compare to the stealth 2 drive? Have a comparison to the previous driver. Hit both, one on one. I would love to see a video like that. Any new driver should be good.
Well done! The Stealth name is fine but “stealth” it is not with the red. But I’m not a marketing guy. Should’ve been black/gray and let the performance speak for itself

Excellent review, James. I've been waiting on this one. Thanks for getting it out to us.
I really hate when people talk about how “tools” look or feel. It’s pathetic! How does it perform….PERIOD! Great presentation…as usual!

Was the ball speed the same on the longest drives with each club ?
Great vid as usual. Carbon wood is redundant wood is mostly carbon and water. Price is whole paycheck
Best looking TM driver since R9. Will buy it for that reason, that being said, will wait when it's way cheaper.
Looks like a great driver, it would be great to see how it does against the m2 and M4, let's see how technology has changed and come on over the years
I’m guess it would be within a few yards hahah
They claim 1.1 mph more ball speed than sim driver
Sim2 is better than the Stealth.

I still think that was the best sound. Then we had the tink noise of the steel head. Then the ting of the titanium. Now the tank of the carbon....
Quacky Duck - The older drivers that had the high pitched "tink" or "plink" were the worst in the world, in my opinion.

What are your specs on the Stealth Driver?! Thanks.
Just curious does this have the carbon sole like the sim 2 if not how are they saving weight by going back to a metal sole
Good’un mate.
Honest review as always. They where some drives though. Wow!
Did you put both driver on the measurement machine for loft? Curious if they are exact the same or not.

James, good review, I love watching you test new eqipment. When will Taylormade let you test the rest of the Stealth lineup
Great review and you smoked some of them shots. Any concern over how long the cover on the face will wear over time?
Great video. Great looking club.
I still have a ‘09 TM Burner. Any chance you can compare a TM driver from “that era” to the Stealth?
Depends on your club head speed. If you are a low handicapper and big hitter the difference will be tremendous. For the average player most drivers in the last 10 years won't make a huge difference. My RBZ Tour is longer and more consistent than the M2 that had a $300 aftermarket shaft I picked up super cheap.
Interesting to follow the technical development of equipment, but what will the cover and the face look like in say 1-2 years?

In the sim room I need to wear ear protection when practicing my Ping driver, are these Stealth drivers more muted in sound?
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this at all but wonder what would happen I they did the same thing with the irons and wedges.
