What made TaylorMade initially choose to come to market with a carbon face and what are the benefits of carbon over titanium?
Great question. We started this project almost 23 years ago, so we’ve been working on it a long time. I started working on it in 2003, so it’s been almost 20 years for me. Composites are significantly lighter than titanium. We knew we wanted to make the driver bigger and to lower its balance point because drivers were spinning a whole lot more than they are now. We knew that by lowering the centre of gravity and moving the weight back, we could decrease the balance point, increase the launch, lower the spin and, at the same time, maximise inertia.
The original Stealth was very popular, especially with better players. What are some of the key design features that have been implemented to make Stealth 2 a success?

Is it Time for the Presidents Cup to Be Scrapped? - The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue?
The next instalment of the USA v Internationals match takes place in Canada at the end of September. But should the one-sided affair continue? Why would anyone even suggest such a drastic course of action? It may sound harsh, but since the inaugural event in 1994, the International team has managed just one victory and one tie while the American team has won 12 times, including nine straight from 2005. It is 26 years since the International team's solitary success in 1998 at Royal Melbourne under the captaincy of the late Peter Thomson.
