Anyone Have An Idea of What TM’s Driver Plans Are for 2022?

[dbjjr]

Just got mine in today… time to head to the heated range in this 20* weather…

So TM is shipping orders to people who can't play them yet lol...it's been in the 60-70s all week and I'm still "in queue". I was hoping it'd come before the 4th so I could get a couple rounds in before a tourney on the 6th.

I heard a rumor that TM's shipping meteorologist got his hands on a stealth back in late december and got in trouble. So their shipping operation is without guidance on which orders to ship based on time of year, weather, and ability to play. So TM was forced to ship orders fifo.

Man i really wish there was some consistency here, i keep refreshing my order several times a day looking for a tracking

Seems you're not seeing the bigger picture...TM is "consistently" telling you nothing has changed

Bahaha!! 11* here and I'm counting down the minutes until my 3W gets here!!

68* Here.  Almost too hot for my liking 🙂   Great weather and we are waiting on a stealth + driver and fwys as well.

sign up for a fedex account. i found that to be a faster way to get notified. my gg still says order processing, but my stealth plus is on it's way and i only ordered it last week.

This couldn’t have been the best pic TM could find to sell people on the red face was it? 🤣🤣🤣

It’s looking like we’re about to get tattooed by a nor’easter this weekend and I just want my 7W.  Early projections say ~2ft of snow, but there’s still a lot of time between now and Friday night.  Still want the damn club though.

This should be what SMUGamer was looking for. Though I know if anyone could find holes in it it’s him 😉

Bahaha!! Looks more like disgust to me…either way it’s not the pic I would’ve chosen to market the Stealth. 🤣

I ordered 1-5 and still have this. But I too will be getting the snow storm on the north east so I don’t know why I’m worried. Just want it in my hands.

Anyone have a side by side of the matte crown vs the gloss crown?

I had a standard Stealth+ ordered, but was curious about this too. I know I'm in the minority, but I love the gloss carbon crown of my 2017 M1 way more than anything they've put out since. I don't hate it, but I can't say I like the crown of the Stealth. It looks much like the matte offerings since the m1/m3, but combining that matte carbon crown with the black gloss ring looks weird. It looks like the plastic wrap is still on there in the creases. And I miss the chalk. I called TM last week and asked them if the gloss was all black like the ring, and how it's represented on the Mystealth choice, or is it clear carbon like my M1. No one knew the answer. I got transferred 3 times before someone in the Mystealth department made a call and confirmed it will be clear gloss like the M1. I hung up, immediately canceled my standard order, and ordered a chalk top gloss with blue face. For the 100 dollar Mystealth upcharge, to get everything I could want at address, as well as being able to customize the grip, tipping and length, plus being able to choose the Tensei AV raw blue as a stock option is like stealing.  I was so giddy I even went with the multi color headcover 😎

ps.. Sorry for the novel answer to your question about the gloss. I never buy new, and rarely change my bag, but I'm obviously a little too excited about this club now.

Of course mine got delayed. They could have shipped UPS ground 70 miles and get from SD to OC in one day.  No, they shipped 2nd day FEDEX on 1/19 and routed to Memphis which is 2000 miles away and supposed to get here today but it seems like it is stuck there.

 

I have a tournament on Friday with temperature predicted to be 75F and the Stealth + supposed to help me win the tournament. Hope it comes tomorrow or Thursday.

As an ex UPS driver, I know what packages go through from start to stop. 18 yr old kids couldn't care less about the packages they are unloading/loading throwing around. All that extra handling makes zero sense logistically or financially

It showed they did a Robot test and a human test, and both showed a 2mph increase in ball speed on 9 points across the face for the Stealth+ vs SIM2 and Stealth vs SIM Max.

 

Also said major improvement in forgiveness, larger sweet spot, and larger face.

 

The person who did the human test also said he didn’t feel like the face felt or sounded that different from titanium.

Excited about new golf gear? You’ve come to the right place. 😁

As a current ups loader for the last 17 years that’s accurate. The way ups moves their package and ever applies to usps and FedEx isn’t efficient and cost effective.

Basically what's been noted...fast across the a lot more of the face. Sweet spot is big.
