But as it’s not super low-spin, chances are he will also hit the fairway more often than not, and that’s just the sort of equation lots of decent golfers could replicate for themselves by switching to Stealth Plus this year. Thanks to slightly less spin there will be a decent distance gain.

So a switch to this lower spinning model (even though it might not be the lowest spinning driver available) will give an immediate gain in ball speed. But we feel Stealth Plus isn’t the very lowest spinning driver out there, hence why it suits Neil so well. In the past he has shied away from super low-spin drivers, because their forward CG is less forgiving. He’s now very excited about getting the Stealth Plus out onto the golf course, particularly because he loves the crisp sound just as much as any performance gain. To put some context around our test pro’s performance, Neil has never played a TaylorMade driver before. What we are saying is that if you’re looking at buying a new low-spin driver in 2022, hit the Stealth. We’re certainly not saying everyone will see a gain of 12 yards. In anybody’s book that’s an outstanding across-the-board performance.Īfter what we’ve seen, we’re comfortable naming the Stealth Plus as our best low-spin driver of 2022, an award we’ve never bestowed upon a single model (whether low-spin, forgiving or draw biased) before. The Plus was flat-out No.1 at protecting ball speed loss on off-centre hits and second best at minimising carry distance drop-offs (only beaten by PXG’s 0811 Gen4 X by two yards). By 12 yards, it was the longest driver within the category (it was also our longest overall driver by three yards). To put the Stealth’s performance into context, the model produced a ball speed 1.1mph faster than any low-spin driver we hit. The difference in part at least can be explained in switching Neil Wain out of a recommended shaft (that to him felt hard work) and into the stock (low flight) Mitsubishi Kai’Li… and are we glad we did. But those numbers were blitzed in our 2022 driver test. We’d tested the model before (in creating our YouTube video) when it outperformed Callaway and Ping models, with tidy but not ground-breaking ball speed and carry distance gains (2.8mph of ball speed and four yards of carry distance gain over the longest). We’ll admit to being pretty shocked by Stealth Plus putting in such a strong performance. But double-digit carry distance gains are utterly unheard of, until this year. And a performance difference that small can easily be caveated with “data can be reversed or slightly different on another day’s testing”. Usually, once our pro’s data has been averaged, there’s rarely more than a handful of yards covering off the top models. Never, in 15 years of testing, have we seen a low spin driver out-perform its category peers by 12 yards of carry.

Remember, golf clubs perform differently in different golfers’ hands, due to things like your swing speed and the way you deliver the club into impact. And while we could all hit the gym every day and convert to a diet of chicken, eggs and spinach in our bid to become the next Bryson DeChambeau, most amateurs will find the best way to gain yards is the right driver, a club fitting and, of course, lessons.
