I tried the TR in a 6x in my driver and it’s solid but more lively feel to it while being stout. I’m just convinced that you either love the og or love the tr and I’m the og love with my 6x/8x/10tx

I am the opposite. I didn’t get along with the OG black. Dunno why.

That’s interesting. I don’t find it lower spin than the stealth 1. Really about the same to slightly higher. Sim2’ish to sim 1 kinda deal.

I’m with you.  Hit the Stealth 2 Plus over the weekend and didn’t really see any difference in launch or spin over last years Stealth Plus.

Agree.  I had the OG in driver and loved it performance wise, but didn't like the feel.  The TR Black feels so much better/smoother to me. 

Really interesting. No one has really talked about this so thank you for sharing.

good stuff. I need to try the TR Blue

Man...that is some serious ballspeed (and pure contact of course) to go 13* and 16* for your fairways.

I wonder what loft he plays his PW? I always thought that was his big gap (46* to 54*). We see most tour guys using a 50*-52* wedge these days. But, who am I to question RM!?

Well won his first match. Drove it ok. Wedges were not great and putting was ok.

Watched Trotties youtube vid today and he mentioned a lot of the guys on tour have had to loft up when going from Stealth to Stealth 2 as its so low spinning, most have gone up around 0.25-0.5* maybe that why Rors is struggling with it, or he wants to keep the lower loft to keep ball speed up guessing the TR blue helps with spin slightly, still weird he's struggled so much with it although he didnt hit his OG stealth great when he won in Dubai.

loft up sounds like the  infamous  sldr  driver

Interesting comments here in this thread.

Personally, I went from the Stealth Plus @9* with a Ventus Blue TR 6 S to the new Stealth 2 Plus @ 9.6* (upright) with the (OG) Ventus Blue 6 S. The TR made it more difficult for me to work the ball. The 2+ allows me to draw the ball more easily when I need it with out worrying about unwanted hooks.  I also rarely hit misses right that were more common with the OG Stealth Plus. Absolutely love the new "2" Plus. Extremely accurate.
