The best forgiving irons of 2023? In this video I take a look at the brand new Taylormade Stealth Hd irons. Could they be the difference between you being a mid handicap golfer, high handicap golfer or even a low handicap golfer? Let’s find out… and let’s do it now!

Love how the channel has evolved over the years - love the show! That said, I would be lying if I didn't say I sometimes miss the old brick walled simulator room you did club reviews in. Good memories! Thanks for the content!
Hi James completely agree with you on using as forgiving irons as you can , just not sure why your not keen on Titliest T400 which have the same tech but look better IMO.Assuming clubs get progressively easier to hit as time moves forward it doesn’t matter much about working hard at hitting difficult blades because we don’t now expect the best players to use hickory sticks ? Even Tour pros go away from blades. What’s key is ease of use, distance and workability though the latter only really applies to the better players and straight usually trumps all.
James good work as always! You help make these make sense for the higher handicapper. Keep up the good work. Cheers from the USA!
Always good content mate, keep it up 👍
Threw you a like for testing in the cold and the rain. I appreciate your willingness to give the people what they want mate. 😁
Kind of reminds me what the ping Chipr did for chippers - made it credibe to play something more forgiving. I like the idea of high handicap players playing shorter irons in standard clubs and switching their longer irons into HD’s. Chunky but goood!
I’m curious how you would shoot with your most forgiving set vs your current set, full bag, 9 holes, James vs James
Agreed! Same with a new driver vs 5yr old driver!
Agreed
Great video idea
I’m not sure they would be better once you hit a certain level the risk reward of harder to hit clubs comes in a lot more
Dude that would be a sick ass video
Absolutely brilliant James, these look great just have to start saving up !
Yea, I remember when I lived in the midwest; golfing in the crappy weather. Loved it, but disparaged the weather. Good video!
Nice rainbow at 6:02! Perfect day to test the clubs.
Sold! I'm a 13 handicap and love my hybrids so much, I wondered why I couldn't get the same feel with my mid and long irons. I think I found it. Subscribed.
Thank u for doing a review on these.
I want to be better at golf and these will do it, thanks for your review, I’ve tested them and ordered. Wish me luck in gaining a handicap for the first time in 20 years of playing the game haha. Paul
No doubt forgiving and very similar to the Cleveland, Sub70 and Wilson mega-game improvement irons. Should have been called Taylormade Obvious rather than Stealth irons.
That joke really sneaks up on you!
@metallica4169 Certainly more Stealthy than the irons. 😉
@@stevenhocking7731 I’m surprised they just went for a sub model of the Stealth instead of a “Stealth 2” (it’s similar to the P700 setup where they added to the current lineup; only except that these are more conventional to beginners/basic irons).
I was thinking the same thing.
Where have I seen that club head shape, lower CG, and perimeter waiting, before? Oh yeah, Sub 70 799's. Plus Sub 70 is more reasonably priced.
Steven aren’t you just the cunning linguist.
Perhaps for the Australian market,Taylor Made

Thanks Great review
Thank you. These clubs will find people that make use of them. 👍🏻👍🏻😊
these look good....great review.... would like to see you review the Stealth2 HD fairways....and hybrids...thx....cheers from Canada
These type of Irons are becoming more popular. I've just bought the WS' Launchers but only been driving range with them so far and no word of a lie, first 2 balls hit at the 100yd board with PW...hit the board perfectly. Only hit about 30 balls with 6 of these WS Launchpad irons so far and got me excited ( no easy thing to do ). Comparing to these TM Irons here, I'm listening for the strike as there is a definite "click" noise when you hit the WS launchpad irons pretty well.
Hi James Great show as always, I love the irons its a pity I can't afford them, as I live only on my pension and in Cyprus. The new channel is also great.
Great video James! Have to take a look at those bad boys!
Great video they look like my callaway fusion witch I am using for last season as the get the ball up in the air much more easily, I think I probably lose yardage is the down side
Look like the Adams Idea velocity slot clubs of 2014. Love your videos!!
Can't see you having much trouble reaching the 250,000 bud not with the content and reviews you put out I'm a subscriber of both your golf channel's and both are getting better and better 👍
Morning from Bama! Cant wait for some game changers :)
I feel the same about my Cleveland Launcher Halo XL's. I would lay a big bet my handy cap will drop 5 strokes once the damn snow melts. I am seriously itching to get on the golf course. From the short time I got to hit them last year I was impressed. I have no idea why a average to below average golfer would not play a game improvement iron. Some continue to try and find clubs that hit straighter and longer and they are right in front of you. Don't be embarrassed, just have fun.
I’ve been waiting to see TM bring out something like this. Some years back they bought out Adams and these clubs are prime Adams. Great for high handicap and seniors
Good review James. I would be interested in you doing a comparison with Wilson Launchpad, Cleveland Launcher and Cobra T-rail which are all similar irons
Nice one Taylormade and great review James
You got it! New subscriber.
Have a buddy who plays the Stealths’ - he’s a big fan! Not sure it’s helped his game though it wouldn’t be fair to blame the clubs 😂 I play the PING G425s, they’ve helped shave a few strokes from my handicap. A solid game improvement club for high handicappers is worth the investment - helps make the game more fun!
Have the cleveland xl halos. So easy to hit. I like the look of these. Will demo.
I’d love to try these! ⛳️ Hope I can demo some locally.
Hi mate, I’m really keen on these. I did watch your video on the Wilson launchpads and remember you mentioned you can’t really hit down on the ball and get any compression. Did you find these to be the same or more like a traditional iron?
Great review
Nice looking and forgiving clubs
James, they are the most forgiving designed irons. That being said, the Wilson Launch Pad, Cobra T-Rail, and Tour Edge are also the same type of iron that have been out for a couple of years, and, well, they are much less expensive than TM, too. I bought a new set of Tour Edge E522 Hot Launch for $599.00 - they launch high and fly about 10 yards further than a traditional blade iron. TM did a good job on designing these irons but the market is so competitive, it will come down to feel, sound, looks, and price. I chose TE over Cobra and Wilson after testing on a launch monitor because I liked the feel, sound, looks at address, and mostly, the price. Going in, I thought that I was going to buy the Wilson LP but I was pleasantly surprised.
Hi James great video just ordered stealth hd iron I have the Cleveland halo Xl irons bought them because of damaged left knee but never liked the look off then play great but when I saw the HD had to have 🤣tried them and amazing plus they look great so just waiting for them to be shipped these irons type of irons are great for the golfer who only plays once a week ,keep the great videos coming 👍
I have the halos. So easy. These are a better look. Will demo. Ian let me know how they compare please when they arrive.
@@KevinVanic hi Kevin I had halo xl irons before taylormade hd they are so easy to hit just got the taylormade for looks but they are easy to hit from any lie 👍 Ian
Another great review James. You make these clubs sound so good. Would they suit a 73 year old, 8 handicap player, still capable of some very good golf ?
Great video
They look good. They basically made Cleveland XL Halo irons and remade them without the larger backside on them.
Well done James
Just tried these on a custom fit...Went in looking at the Callawy "Big Bertha" and ended up ordering these ....😅😅
Are they available as individual irons, I'm happy with my seven to pitching wedge but definitely need help launching my five iron and possibly my six. Also how easy would it be go combine these irons with the new stealth HD fairway Woods
I’d love to see these v the dynapwr irons. They look amazing irons.
How do they compare to the Wilson Launch Pad irons?
James... have you played the Cleveland XL Halos or the Wilson Launchpad 2s... and how do they compare to this new Taylormade iron?
Taylormade's version of the Wilson Staff Launchpad irons by the look of it 🤔
Cant wait to buy this. SGI from taylormade. Awesome.
I ordered the 5 iron bent 2 degrees strong to give a go as a hybrid to combo with my Cobra LTDx One Lengths. Can’t wait to get it in and see how it blends and gaps with my Cobras which I love and have no plans on moving on from. Just needing something to bridge the gap from my 7 wood to my 6 iron and hope this does the trick.
I had a similar dilemma and went with a b21 9 wood….what a club!!
That 7 wood looks amazing
I'm very interested in these irons. I currently play the m6 irons but I feel they are too heavy. How do these irons compare to the cobra t rail hybrid irons in lightness?
JR, this seems like a replay of the Cleveland. Would like to see a comparison with the Cleveland, these and those All-Hybrid set (don't remember the name).
They look similar to hybrid irons?
I'm still learning (3 years in), and I'm starting to get self-conscious or aware of the size of clubs I'm playing with.
They are good looking iron for sure.
Would like to see these compared to the PXG 0211 Z irons and others in this category.
James will you be reviewing/testing the new Wilson Dynapower woods and irons soon?
I must try these. I've s feeling they may be perfect for me
Hi James - can you please review the Cobra Aerojet Irons? My local store have recommended them for me based on my game. Asking for a friend before I spend lots of money 😂
Great review, thank you! You mentioned at the beginning of the video that they are potentially the 'most forgiving clubs ever', but how do they compare plse with the likes of Wilson Launchpad 2 irons, or Cleveland XL Halo? I know you tested the Launchpad 2 irons quite extensively, so interested what your views are plse?
Many thanks
Andrew
I asked the same thing... I'm curious if these are as good, or even an improvement over those two sets you mentioned. One thing I do know is if it was the exact same, the sales will be more with TM than the other two even though the other two are solid brands. If Ping and Callaway made the same thing, within 2 years, you would see these kind of irons all over the golf course.
@@jeffjob6995
Are you tempted to try these then lol?? 😛
Great video James, love these irons, please tell your brother in law, to pick up his right arm, then he will have a great golf swing.
Apparently Brits thing the USA is Florida and Southern California (heard this on other channels as well). For most of the country we get a miserable winter just like you do. 🙂
I’m in America, in NYS. Trust me, it’s not sunny here lol. It also doesn’t rain here, it snows.
Did TM forget the black paint like the Launch Pad irons? I have played the Launch Pad irons for the last 3 months and they have shown all the same properties as these Stealth HD irons, but without the "strong lofted chipper look".
TM owes you some cash. I just bought these after I watched this video. Thanks for the review!
I am going to compare these to my first set of clubs the "Spalding Cannon Executives" which are more than 30 years old. The last time I checked you could find them on eBay! Old is new again!
Nicklaus AirMax came to mind when I saw Stealth HD
Was that the standard length in the regular flex ?
I love my Wilson LaunchPads, far far cheaper than the TMs, £869 for the graphites, mine were several hundred less.
i know everybody has a style but i think that Verticle Takeaway might be sacrificing some power and accuracy. My brother does it too.
us golfers do try and make this game hard for our selfs i used to play a set of browning 440 plus irons over 30 years ago ey much similar to these new stealth irons they look very nice indeed
these seem another game changer for the high handicapper which they marketed for? and with so many on the market at present what do we choose I love your comments that these could make you lazy BUT are they improving irons we all aim and want to be better are these going to work? will those who buy these become reliant on them and when switching to a better set be able to play with them after using these, if a person really wants to improve hie or her game would you recommend these over the normal stealth or p790s irons
Theses remind me a bit of the Wilson Launchpads that came out a few years ago. How do they compare?
What are better Stealth HD or Titleist T350?
I would love these clubs. Absolutely ideal for me. If your'e offering.
One thing I am concerned about clubs like these, are the dispersion numbers in distance. When I purchased a set of PING G700 irons, they certainly had the height to stop on the green despite being strong lofted, but I found that occasionally the lower spin of the irons would cause me to rip one a club longer than my normal distance with that iron.
i play g425, and i have found the same thing. once in a while, the ball comes off super hot and 15 yards longer than i was ready for.
@@qbclay2 Everything I’ve seen so far is that these spin better than most SGI and Player Distance irons.
Understandable point. But maybe one time where you would hit it 10 yards shorter the low spin actually saved you and put it pin high. Or you took the wrong club but it worked out. And sometimes it doesn't and it goes to far. So I guess its a give and take.
@@OKF_Max Fair enough. It's why I just put them back in the bag following hand surgery. Figure they're the friendliest set I have and can play them until I'm completely comfortable..
They remind me of a set of Adams Irons that came out years ago
Love those ROBO 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇸👍🏻
i feel like some of the lower irons took some ispiraction from Tour Edge Iron-Woods. My dad swears by them and kinda got him back in the game, hes 68.
Funny, irons like this were around 40 years ago, Browning 440s, Maltby Glider X and a Dunlop iron whose name I can’t remember.
Are these irons cavity back or hollow
I would and should
James, why do I never hear anything concerning golf grips? I mean, it's rubber meets the road, right? I stumbled across leather grips because my hands sweat profusely on hot days. I can't carry enough gloves. I even tried rain gloves. Then I tried Gripmaster Kangaroo Leather and now I don't need gloves. Ever. No removal to putt. Nada. They're pricey but I put them on 3 years ago and they're still cooking. Seems like a win, win, win...you get it. Kangaroo is the strongest Leather on earth. By a lot! You rock.
imo they should have gave this set a friendlier price.
So larger size equals larger mass increases force at impact. That should increase distance.
These look like thd perfect clubs for me and my golf. I assume they will be just a bit pricey! 💸💸
I'm done with out of site prices for big name clubs. DTC for me!
Will they be going in your bag for 2023.
Numbers are good , feel good, look good ! Are you going to bag them James ?
Hey James I’m looking for some help,
I’m 17, from Australia and generally pretty athletic. I play off 18 and have been playing for a year now. I’m looking to get myself my first good set of iron but can’t really afford to break the bank. What would you recommend
Takomos. I just got a set of the 101s in and they are amazing and soooo affordable for a brand new set
Probably need to specify what you want out of a club (forgiving/ distance/ feel), your budget, where you miss and a rough idea of swing speed at least
@@Iamwrongbut I’ve considered getting these but as you have to order them online I have been nervous as I won’t be able to try them before I buy them
This style of iron is not new but with the Stealth name might get a few more trying them.
Do you know the price for these bad boys ?
What do you think about a combo set between Stealth and Stealth HD?
Hats what Average Golfer suggests
The face of the club looks like a browning 440 or 500 from the1980's , they were also low profile irons.
The big question is are stealth worth double or more in price than the Cleveland similar hybrid irons???
No
How much are they?
They look a little like my TM Burner high launch irons from years ago…
Hey I have a question. I’m looking to buy a new set of clubs. I’m 62 years old. I’m looking to buy a set of hybrid irons. I seen the video on your Wilson hybrid. But I’m looking at buying a set of Cleveland halo hybrid. I was curious if you have hit them at all. Or could you please help on which set to purchase.
I just picked up a set of Cobra T-Rails and love them.
Have a look on Dan Hendriksens channel; he did a back to back review series on hybrid irons. Wilson, Cleveland and Cobra.
@@grahamstaples1221 I saw that video. They seemed to prefer the Cobra. And the 2023 version looks much better than previous versions.
I’ve been lucky enough to try all three and I prefer the cobras. The wilsons and clevelands were a little bit longer but I think they’re both slightly stronger lofted. The cobra t rails felt better off the face.
Kinda funny I was thinking about this awhile back. So we just let a handful of Scots a hundred years ago define how golf clubs are designed? I’m being a bit cheeky, but if you want to expand the game it can be a bit difficult when a large number of people struggle to figure out how the basic tool of the game even works.
Time for a comparison of these, Halo XL and Wilson. These are obviously the most expensive. Seems like Taylormade is late to the party and trying to say they are the first one there.
Finally, Taylormade has an iron for me.
Having a real beginner hit them , is a great idea ...maybe more of those real world type reviews?
Remind me of adams irons...I seem to remember taylormade buying out adams
