Taylormade Stealth Drivers The Carbonwood Revolution
Golf Asia|February 2022
TaylorMade built its fortunes on the back of founder Gary Adams invention, the metalwood driver, introduced in 1979 - the year that TaylorMade sounded the death knell for woodheaded drivers.
Taylormade Stealth Drivers The Carbonwood Revolution

Ever since, technological innovation has driven the Carlsbad company, from Movable Weight Technology to Flight Control Technology to Speed Pockets, TaylorMade drivers have consistently moved and advanced the golf industry needle.

43 years on, TaylorMade is poised yet again to turn the industry on its head in as significant a way as Pittsburgh Persimmon once did.

WELCOME TO THE CARBONWOOD AGE.

Yes, there have been carbon-faced drivers that have come before, even TaylorMade had a version with the Japan-only Gloire Reserve, the difference is that this time, it works. Never mind that it took two decades to overcome the technology hurdles and finally beat titanium drivers at its own game.

Boundaries have been pushed and broken and the new era of driver technology is with the 60X Carbon Twist Face found on the new Stealth™ Plus, Stealth and Stealth HD Carbonwood™ Drivers.

60X CARBON AND NANOTEXTURE FACE

A typical titanium driver face weighs 43g, TaylorMade’s carbon face is a feather weight 26g, freeing up a massive 17g to be redistributed to achieve better performance – an engineer’s dream.

TaylorMade says concentrating all that weight rearward in combination with a lighter carbon fibre face is more efficient at transferring energy to the golf ball at impact. Stealth’s red carbon face also delivers a higher COR through a lighter and larger face 40 percent lighter than titanium, and yet is 11 percent larger than the SIM2.
