The most forgiving golf driver of 2023 is still a question yet to be answered by the majority. In this video we will be seeing if TaylorMade have brought a key contender to the fight this year, and if it is any better than the old Sim2 version from 2 years ago.

I ordered a Stealth 2 HD , currently gaming aSim 2 but not the draw version, what I found was an improvement in accuracy and a slight bit of speed but looking for accuracy. I demoed the Stealth2 hd and over three rounds I missed only 2 fairways ( in the desert) where I had to take an unplayable lie so that pretty much sold me on it, and I was fitted for it at a demo day. Great review guys.
This test just proves that we should not be buying new drivers so frequently. Wait 4 or 5 years, the tech doesn't change that much; or if your swing drastically changes or you get much faster or become a much better ball striker then you should buy sooner, otherwise wait. Spend that money of good lessons or save for when it's a good time to buy., Also, you can always buy last years model at a cheaper price. Cheers
Great test guys, there is certainly no reason for me to give up my SIM2 for a Stealth2.
Still very to the TSR3 all long. First class design and a ball speed machine. 🔥🔥🔥
Hard to justify the price with that "difference"! Swapping my driver approximately every 5 years and since I'm getting older and slower means I maintain rather than improve😁
Evening boys ……
Nice comparison guys. I have a SIM myself and although the hype on the Stealth 2 is interesting I doubt very much that I will buy a Stealth 2 to gain not a great deal. I noted something which I couldn't understand really and that is the difference in the shaft. The adapter is the same for both so you could have changed them to maybe give a better comparison. Lee said he was fitted for the SIM 2 so that shaft potentially gave him optimum launch etc, why not put his shaft in the Stealth 2, potentially would be better. No matter, just a thought
Had a fitting during the week. I was playing a Ping G425 Max. With the Stealth 2 HD i was getting 13mph better ball speed. Accuracy was pretty much the same, but the big increase in ball speeed meant longer drives
Good comparison chaps. I know it's different for every golfer but with the numbers that you both got, it wouldnt justify a change in driver, apart from having something new in the bag. Best bit of the review was dan off camera 'thought it's meant to be draw bias' 🤣
I’ll stick with my sim 2 max D
Thanks Guys
The red face is just ugly….. its an gimmick… marketing bs..
What happened to Februarys live and giveaway via patreon?
Still playing the OG SIM here — I tried the Stealth plus but found it spun up too much for me — I need to keep spin under wraps and still find the first SIM to be the lowest spinning head for me — great stuff guys!
Seems typical across all the new releases, up to 20% price increase with a 0.5% performance benefit (for one manufacturer I tested a 3% drop in performance [for me with my very slow swing speed]). When are the manufacturers going to wake up to reality?
Congratulations Laura on passing your exams ,keep an eye on dans purse strings and his lavish lifestyle 😂
Not a fan of these reviews to be honest,I know it’s necessary for the channel but I would rather watch dan cutting his grass than talking about drivers 🤣
No to a new driver, Dan. Cost outweighs performance gain.
I’m a mid-handicapper (hoping to be single figures).
I moved from the Cobra Radspeed to the TM SIM 2 Max D as I tend to miss right.
I also have acquired a TM Stealth Plus, but have it set to the draw bias.
I find the SIM 2 way easier to hit, I find personally I lose the Stealth Plus to the right, the Stealth definitely feels more solid to hit, but not as satisfying so I’ve moved back to my Sim 2.
I get very similar numbers to DH in terms of ball speed/carry (but less consistency)! 😆
Would love to see an accuracy comparison of Stealth 2 HD vs Ping G430 SFT. Which is better for combo of accuracy and distance?
I think you could have picked a harder fairway to hit😂 nearly identical numbers, no need to rush out and replace the Sim.
I hit my SIm2 Max dead straight 300-310 yards with my best swings and the Stealth 2 maybe 1 yard further overall. Just not a great improvement to justify a switch – SIm2 is just a beast of a club it sounds looks and performs beautifully for the last 2 years it’s a real weapon.
No different at all for the money why would u buy it
