I love the look of that red ring on the outside. It really pops. Assuming it’s the same type of ring that was on the sim2.

My 3W is in my locker and the 5W is in the bag for this very reason.  

 

I’ve convinced myself if they released a 4W it would be perfect, but I’m probably just mental and rationalizing a new FW.

Same exact boat. I went to a 5w and no 3w bc I hit it better and more often but in the back of my mind I’m thinking a 4w is the move. Probably just bored.

Stealth2 Plus 5w. Lofted down with a 4w length shaft. That’s the idea I’m kicking around at the moment. Would still be long since it’ll be fast off the face got tee shots. Then can also play around with weight placement to further tweak launch.

If stealth2+ makes the bag, it'll be because that 50g weight all the way back gives me 12 launch and 3000 rpm. I want more launch without a bunch of spin. I checked specs on the paradigm days and the x is 15/58 lie and 177 cc. That bad boy lofted down could be awesome.

Wouldn’t lofting it down change the face angle?

Yeah. Would open it a bit. For a fairway woods that’s perfect for me.

Likely the same aluminum. Although I’ve not noticed the stealth2 to have the “forged aluminum” engraved on the back. Maybe a different story this time. Maybe I’m thinking too much 🤷‍♂️

[EagleGSU]

Will we be able to order the clubs on the 10th? Or will they just be announced officially on that date, and there will be a wait until you can order?

Yup that is correct, it would open it up.  I'm a fan, it would work great for me.

It would open the face yes

Forged Carbon Ring according to TM

Ah thanks. Makes sense. All carbon back there other than the weight, that’s pretty cool. 

[Foxx]

I assume the fairway sliding weight covers the "hole" when it's in the neutral position. 

Forward it leaves a crater that looks untidy.

Each to their own but I definitely prefer the matt finish look. I'm sure its awesome but I think the reflection might bother me.  What was last driver that had a glossy finish from TM?    

Sim was glossy.

Oooh yeah!! A Black & Red SIM2 with sliding weight…gorgeous!! 😍😍

Whilst I know they are a marketing GIANT and the red stands out on TV etc, I get it, but it could have been so much sexier/STEALTHier.

 

Probably be flamed for this..... "doesn't matter what it looks like etc" - but looks play a massive part to me. I know they will probably do a mystealth option too, but here we go:

I like the black/red better… looks like a weapon. I think they did a really nice job with stealth plus 2. Yes, it’s not that different but it looks pleasing.

This would be so much better imo. OG stealth is better looking that the 2 imo, be interesting to see what the marketing spin is on 2 vs the OG, I'd assume better ball speed retention across the face same as everyone else as that's all they can do.

If stealth to stealth2 follows suit with sim to sim2 then we'll see

 

A tiny uptick in ballspeed across the face. Rather decent uptick in forgiveness...which I'm not sure how you'd hit one offline considering how good stealth is. 

 

Will be interesting to see what rory does with it. He really struggled with sim2.

I mean yeah....I'd probably pay WAY more than I should for that driver.......I wouldn't even care if I didn't hit it as far.

MyStealth2 I’m sure will be offered and you could get something that looks just like it.

You guys need to either stop hitting it so far with driver that you have irons into every par 5 or step up and play courses longer than 6000 so you get the opportunity to hit 3w off the deck more often!

My home track is only 6300 yards, but all the driver landing areas (for me) are where the course narrows quick significantly or changes angles.

I hate red but the shape looks perfect
