The new TaylorMade Stealth driver shaft options include five stock shafts that cover a wide range of golfers, from moderate swing speeds all the way up to the high speed, high spin golfers. While the TaylorMade Stealth driver is packed with technology, selecting the right stock shaft is essential to getting the best performance.
In this video, 2nd Swing’s Thomas Campbell and Drew Mahowald break down the TaylorMade Stealth driver shaft options and discuss the type of golfer each shaft will fit the best.

Interesting discussion. Just to add that I was testing the stealth (not the hd which I did not need) initially with the ventus red and it just did not work for me and as a result almost decided the stealth was not for me. I then tried the air speeder and loved it and really works well for me – bit better distance and stability interestingly. My driver speed is about 90mph and now I have good control of my drives and am now matching up against which as of now a shortlist of four balls is the best ball – vice pro zero, Wilson triad, pro v1 and the Bridgestone 330brx. So yes indeed for a slower swing speed the air speeder is great and my spin and launch numbers are optimal for getting the best drives (distance and tight dispersion too) since a long time – and still so after 30 rounds of golf already with it. Finally found a driver since my m2 that I like and works well. I think the shaft has made a real difference – also for someone in their late 60s!!
Evenflow Riptide is a great shaft.
such a great video with some delicious information…. everyone who plays golf can glean something helpful from this. Thanks again…you guys are awesome…
Another great breakdown boys! Nice work
I have been writing down the names of shafts I might try at my fitting. I don’t really know much about them, so I will be listening to your recommendations when I come in.
Just to add that the difference for me at least between the two shafts with the same head – stealth- was like night and day in every sense including distance, control, flight, and drop off and e-w dispersion. Was most surprised but pleasantly so. In fact similar things happened when I identified the right irons, wedges and hybrid and fairway wood for me. The choice of the right shaft and some consistency in certain categories in each case has made all the difference.
Although I,m not a bomber (95 mph driver club head speed) I found the Stealth with the hzrdus red stiff worked best for me. Very consistent and produced some good distance too.
Can you do a testing with Rouge ST LS options?
Another excellent video, thanks guys. I find really interesting how Thomas adjusts his speed to the different shafts.
Curious how with the heaviest shaft, your club head speed was 7 mph faster than the next closest shaft??
I have the hazardous smoke shaft in with my stealth plus. So far it seems to work really well my swing.I am curious about the air speeder shaft tho, I didn't test that shaft,but got me wondering if I could pick up any ball speed with the lighter shaft?
I tried the Stealth at a demo day and was impressed. I am Mr Average (c.93-96 mph swing speed) so have always played a regular shaft usually around the 60-65g weight. To my big surprise the best combo was a stiff 50g shaft (not sure which one). From good strikes it went no further than my 6 year old Epic driver, but I did not expect it to, but the Stealth was so much better on off centre strikes
It feels like taylormade offers these shaft options simply because they all have red graphics to complement the red face of the club head
So awesome that Thomas has these abilities. I have a stiff Hzrdus Smoke Red RDX in my G425 Max. Love it. Works for me.
None of them, go get yourself an oban instead
Good video. I like you two together better than any other pairing. Good work.
Be sure to keep those receipts… those faces have started pitting (chipping paint) the more you hit them and there are a lot of returns big boxes aren't putting back on the floor as used.
Consider some aftermarket shafts too. i personally game the HULK shaft and love it, helps mostly with dispersion but its low launching and low spin so not suitable for everyone
Hi Thomas Great 👍 Video, amazing how you can control your different swing speed’s with each of the different shafts, And still control your the ball flight and shot shape, Amazing Thanks Thomas Dickey UK
Would be interesting to see a similar comparison for the FW wood offerings. excellent video.
Which shaft would you end up playing? So would you go with a different non-stock option? (For Thomas)
