Will we be able to spot it? it might be an invisible STEALTH Bomber™ ... Forget TrackMan, we'll need NORAD.

It's going to be more forgiving, obviously, with 9% improved aerodynamics and more ball speed due to a new superstrong 40 layer carbon face with graphene.

Anyone who questions Taylormades marketing and business need only look at the fact this thread has 5000 more views than the Callaway Rogue pic thread.

Anyone have a list of the no upgrade charge shafts that are available?  What's everyone's thoughts on the Kai'li?

Mitsubishi confirmed that the Kai’li White is the real deal (contains MR70) in the other Stealth thread. I’ve not hit it but I’m looking forward to giving it a chance.

no black face.  just cool grey.

 

The face is Grey & black....Black is in the same spots it is on the red face.  The Red part is grey.

yes I know.  TM is only calling it Cool Grey not Grey and Black.

Is the face like a rubbery feel?

Is it available for demo right now before preorder?

kind of. it is a polyurethane cover across the entire face to fine tune launch and spin.

My car contains WD40, hope MR isn’t an acronym for  “ Mainly Rubbish “.

Reminds me of one of the Wilson drivers that was mercilessly ridiculed on wrx. 
 

I asked my fitter buddy what he recommends and he said, “Same thing I’ve been saying — get the SIM MAX from 2020. Still the best in fittings for a lot of players.”

He’s correct, even with the stock Blue Ventus 6R ( non-Velecore ) it’s probably the best off-the-shelf TM driver ever. Why did TM go to the Ventus 5 Blue in 2021 as a replacement anyone ?

All I've read on here is the original SIM sets up open and the SIM 2 is neutral at  set up. If the average golfers miss is high and right seems the SIM 2 or HD model would be the better choice.

That’ll help offset the $700 msrp. I’m currently playing a Tensei 1K with MR70 and it’s quite stable. Excited to hit the Stealth+ with K’aili White.

The 2020 Ventus Red 5 was a better fit for most consumers but the red color didn’t match SIM colors. The 2021 Ventus Blue was actually the exact same shaft as the 2020 Ventus Red but painted Blue for better match. The stock shaft in Stealth is the same 2020 Ventus Red profile now painted Black/Red.

Thanks, I had to sleep on this to work out whether it was a Chinese puzzle or a set of Russian Dolls. I think you have a point. 
 

However, I have the 2020 Ventus Red 5R but not the 2021 Blue - not in “ R “ anyway. It quite the worst shaft I’ve ever hit being dead and boardy, especially for an “ R “ flex. I’ll try a request of TM Customer Service. Your comments are most appreciated.

Ugh why no comparison pics?  GolfWRX losing its touch.

On another note, the adapters for Titleist has always been the same since the 910 series.  If it ain't broke...

Without question the best adapter. The independent adjustability far outweighs the fact that you need instructions to use it.

Don't drink the TaylorMade Kool-Aid because in a year you'll live with a toothache when a new TM Driver comes out with Unicorn Horns body and Bigfoot 100000x Nano SeaMan Face Technology comes out in 2023..

Thanks for sharing. It reminded me of the SIM2.
