What does Taylor Made say?

Regarding the Stealth 2 Plus…

“We expect the front setup to be popular on the Tour, particularly among players like Colin Morikawa who have historically used a 13.5° Rocket 3-wood to increase distance and launch low/low. The versatility of the Stealth 2 Plus will allow for this type of ‘rocket’ setup but at the end Ultimately its versatility is its greatest appeal. Adjusting the swing weight creates noticeable differences in performance in terms of launch, spin and distance, allowing golfers to dial in the preferred flight characteristics required by the game, course and conditions.” – Tomo Bystedt, Senior Director, Product Creation

Regarding the face design…

“Advanced ICT takes the proven TaylorMade concept and pushes it to the next level. We have now optimized the variable face thickness for each individual putter, so that every face on the Stealth 2 Fairway or Rescue is designed specifically for that club. This design feat is testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of better every aspect of our products year after year.”
Matt Johnson, Principal Engineer, Advanced Design
