The problem is that same thing happens to all drivers, i've had a similar experience with a couple Titleist's (915D3 and TSi3). "Getting funky" is necessary to continue pushing for incremental performance gains, and that will inevitably involve weight saving strategies (like carbon faces) to achieve. Trust me I love the OG SIM, nothing has kicked it out yet, but insisting a company "stay behind" so to speak is a recipe for getting lapped by the competition, something TM obviously tries hard to stay ahead of.

A buddy of mine plays on the korn ferry tour. He's on his 9th head.  Two cracked in competition.  My local retailer assumes they've had over 30 cracked Stealth heads.  They all come apart the same way. The face lifts free from the chassis.

 

The ratio problems between Titleist, PING, and TM stealth drivers is completely lopsided with the latter being the main offender.

Yes. It's simply not forgiving. It's great out of the middle but compared to a TSR2 or a G430, Paradym X, it is awful on mishits. 

 

Sure, they have a lot of tour players playing them, but they hit the middle of the face a lot. 

 

Oh, that and Twist Face isn't real. It's just bulge and roll and every company has that....

stealth 2 is very forgiving idk what you're on about... twist face is definitely a real thing, not saying its revolutionary but it definitely exists...

Looks like the TXF video with Trottie using the new Spider Tour got taken down, guess that wasn't meant to be out there yet huh?

 

EDIT: Guess it got renamed

No, this is the one Fleetwood was trying/playing.

TM seems to be pretty on point with their offerings right now

 

I hope they can get the driver face figured out and get back on track

There irons have a gap. Getting rid of p760 was a mistake. You hear the former txg guys saying the same thing each time Taylormade comes up.

Anyone know if they plan on releasing that miles version that Scottie was using?  That thing looked sweet!!!

Why would that player not play the 770s or MCs??

760 were an abysmal seller.  It's a small handful of people who pine over it for some reason.  TM has more than covered the gap with their current lineup.

I agree, maybe a all Carbon cup face attached to a titanium chassis.

This is my guess too. Basically the inverse of Cally’s Paradym. Nobody knows how much carbon is in the Cally so the tech story gets lost. A cup face will be obvious and likely less expensive to manufacture…less total carbon than the Cally

I could have sworn that when Stealth came out, TaylorMade stated that they would NEVER make another non-carbon face driver again. I will need to find that article.

From a site I cannot name.. but TM did state this

 

TaylorMade is so committed to the Carbonwood that it has said it will never make another titanium-faced driver. It’s so serious, in fact, that job titles are changing. Guys have literally had the Metalwood in their job tiles changed to Carbonwood.

[csiachos]

I see more Stealth drivers in play than any other driver.  I think it needs to be said that the pros and serious amateurs hit hundreds, if not thousands of shots with the driver each week.  Failure is common, and was common even in Titanium heads.

I would love if they would just be able to fill 2023 orders. Ordered the 770's beginning of July, entire set is delayed 3 months, due to Project X-T 6.5, 7 Iron shaft. Looked today, just got pushed another week to Mid October ship date.

 

Anyone else experiencing this?

 

EDIT:

Got the call an hour after the post that they are at Golf Galaxy awaiting pickup!!!

not their fault if they dont have the shaft 

[PickItUpGolf]

The "MySpider Tour" is no longer on the TaylorMade website it seems, so I'm guessing those new Tour model putter can't be too far away?

Looking forward to seeing them

I agree with you on that, just to excited to wait, like a kid counting down until summer but it’s only December.

Wish they would release that milked version that Scottie was playing for awhile. 

[MK7Golf21]

Too bad they don't offer customization of the sight lines for the blade putters, like a dot on topline. Any OEM's offering that for blade putters?

Me too! I'd buy that 

[kwonye]

Very excited to see a non-carbon driver! The Driver being different than the 3-wood and hybrid on a matching TM set was always very weird to me.

Let’s just hope they go back to a “non carbon” driver.  

[BagofToast]

I really hope they keep the carbon face lol

Last I hear it was still being determined. Hopefully they decide to do it!

Completely agree.  I hit the Stealth 2 (plus) very well and found it extremely trustworthy in the flight expectations.  It's the fragility of the head that is killing the product.  My retail manager friend says they aren't even selling Stealth drivers at any meaningful rate.  It's the slow part of the season but he says most driver buyers are Titleist and PING.

 

I know it's petty but enough of the black and red.  Go back to blue/grey/chalk for the next colorway - if for no other reason but it reminds us of the best and most reliable TM drivers in the last 10 years, the SIM line. (M2 was good too)

WTF???

[robzgolf]

Durability definitely a problem. On my 3rd stealth head already. Bought a sim for backup and anytime I want to swing hard in practice

[Boogs2]

Bring back the superfast TP....one of my favorite drivers ever.
