TaylorMade’s Stealth 2 Teams Edition drivers are Ryder Cup-ready

With the Ryder Cup less than two weeks away, TaylorMade is prepping for the biennial matches with two custom Stealth 2 Teams Edition drivers (9 and 10.5 degrees). One features a red, white and blue colorway for Team USA, while the other sports blue and gold accents for Team Europe.

Each driver comes equipped with a special headcover and either a Fujikura Ventus Red (Team USA) or Fujikura Ventus Blue (Team Europe) shaft. Special Golf Pride MCC USA (red/blue) and Golf Pride MCC Europe (gold/blue) grips were added as well to complement the overall color scheme.

Outside of the color changes, the tech inside the Stealth 2 remains the same. The standout feature of the Stealth 2 line is a Nano textured 60X Carbon Twist Face which has a newly optimized profile off the back of the face that incorporates TaylorMade’s famous Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) to better maintain ball speeds on shots hit away from center.

This is achieved by moving around layers that run through the face structure to produce thicker and thinner areas, with the byproduct being a face that is 2g lighter than the original (24 grams vs. the original 26 grams) yet stronger than before.

The final part of the carbon puzzle for TaylorMade is a rear ring that connects the components of the driver. Rather than using aluminum as TaylorMade has in the past with the Sim2 and the original Stealth, the Stealth 2’s rear ring is composed of a lighter and stronger carbon fiber reinforced composite.

This lighter ring has allowed engineers to free up more discretionary mass to place in the inertia generator weight in the rear of the driver, and in the case of the Stealth 2 Plus freed up five more grams to place in the sliding adjustable track (15 grams total) for more ball flight control.

Add in these new features with the existing aerodynamically tuned shape, hosel adjustability and through slot speed pocket, and you have a finely tuned carbon driving machine that’s Ryder Cup-ready.

It’s unlikely any of TaylorMade’s staffers will switch to the driver the week of the matches in Rome, but it’s still a great way for weekend golfers to stand out on the course and show their allegiance to Team USA or Team Europe.
