Rick Shiels likes it but does not find it any longer than the SIM2 which I had assumed as pretty much any of the OEM’s have maxed out distance.  
 

Dispersion is all about each persons own swing so I imagine with the weight saved the Stealth may be marginally more forgiving than the SIM2 Max.

 

I do like how it looks and also like the sound I’ve over the more tinny sound of several other drivers.

 

I’m sure I’ll hit it at some time but nothing that has me rushing to pre-order.

Those are eh, fugly.....this coming from a guy that has 5 clubs of turbulaters, in his own bag

 

After years of thought....the 510tp will forever be the pinnacle for TM drivers IMO R7 SuperQuad be darn & all

[GoTime]

looks like it came out of a box set from Walmart

[CCTxGolf]

Gotta give it to tm. Just when you thought they had played out weird driver colors they go with a red face 

[BirdieBirdieX]

Love the look of the crown by the face is trash. It'll sell like hotcakes because it's new, it's TMAG and people would rather buy golf clubs than pay their real bills.

I wonder what the internal TM numbers for people ordering custom colours are?  $120 premium for a different face colour might be a good revenue boost.

[me05501]

I bet there was a lot of debate over whether or not to use the red face. It's such an obvious mistake IMO that I lean toward thinking it's intentional. There will probably be a "pro" version in six months with a more subtle face for $100-150 more and the usual suspects will eat it up.

Does anyone know the adapter compatibility?   Can the same shaft on SIM and SIM2 driver be used on Stealth driver?  

[DatSliceDoe]

I'll be looking at these, not buying them. For $600 you can do a lot more for your game with a pretty sizable lesson package.

Adapter looks the same as previous models. I can't imagine TMAG would go change the adapter after all these years.

Just saw that on their website. $700 for some paint. LOL

They were interchangeable with the older shafts when I got fitted.

[Doc420]

Well we now have a driver that isn't really any longer than anything else, so they go with a new spin consistency/ weight story. I don't hate the looks of the club so far, but the real story is they have pushed the price higher, we will see if the average golfer is willing to pay that price, or start buying the new toy less often.

I'm at $457 after military discount and cashing in some points. So not too bad

I'm keen to try out this paradigm-shifting graphite face technology, but I'm on a budget - so I'll throw a fiver at an old Wilson Killer Whale on eBay.

Yes.  TM's adapter hasn't changed since 2013.

Carbon baseball bats can break in cold weather. We play all year, and temps can be cold. I wonder if this club will get brittle in the cold?

I would hope TM has done proper testing in cold weather to prevent this from happening. 

[QuigleyDU]

love that deep face. I think this driver is super interesting. Very curious as to how it plays. 

 

[Konklifer]

At this point, I buy based on look and feel. Tech is maxed out.

[RainShadow]

In before the cracked faces. 

And why does TM always have one off made for shafts?

I think the tech adjustments are coming into play more and more in maintaining top speeds on off center hits. There is for sure room there. Center square strike. I agree.

MyStealth is already live and you can get it with a stealth grey & black face.

no black face.  just cool grey.

[SheriffBooth]

Yup, looks like you can customize to lots of colors and styles if you don't like the red face.  Looks like you can go full M2 styling if you want - white topline, gloss black crown, dark face, etc.

 

I kind of like the red face, but there's no accounting for taste.

some interesting options. 

[BostonWRX]

What happens if you get a custom color driver and face cracks? I assume they replace it with the stock colors?

Getting some strong Nike Vapor vibes from that writing....plus the irons look even more like them (or maybe how the rocketbladez looked)?
