That saved weight makes room for a low CG, as well as a 10-gram sliding weight in the sole to tweak left or right misses. STEALTH PLUS: The carbon-composite face weighs 40 percent less than titanium. The carbon-face construction adds more precision to create more ball speed potential across the face. Its moment-of-inertia (resistance to twisting on off-center hits) is 15 percent higher than Stealth Plus.

STEALTH: The weight saved by the 60-layer carbon-composite face is pushed low and deep on this model for higher launch and forgiving mis-hits. How much? So much that TaylorMade believes titanium as a face material is a thing of the past. The face’s lighter weight means more mass in the body, and that relationship can deliver speed into the ball at impact. It’s just like a variable-thickness-face titanium driver, only more consistently precise for higher ball speeds across the face. The red-painted cap gets this one noticed, but the underlayers on the 60-ply carbon-composite face are arranged to form a large sweet spot.

WHY WE LIKE IT: The reason composite-face drivers never caught on is that they performed-and sounded-like the headcover was on. The saved weight is redistributed in three distinct ways: a heel-weighted draw version a low-spin model with a sliding weight and a rear-weighted, high-forgiveness version.

Why not use the material for the face-the heaviest part of the clubhead? The Stealth’s composite face is 40 percent lighter than a titanium face yet 20 percent larger than TaylorMade driver faces from just two years ago. WHAT IT DOES: TaylorMade engineers believe carbon composite’s lightweight benefits should not be limited to the body.
