Club Review: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver (Ryder Cup Teams USA Edition)

Special edition golf clubs always make great additions for golfers and collectors who live and breathe the sport, but is this evolution of the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver worth picking up? Well, if you want an optimal launch and to maintain ball speed with more forgiveness than ever before, you're in for a treat.

With the Ryder Cup right around the corner, golfers and golf fans are gearing up for what always promises to be one of the most unmissable events on the golf calendar.

As Team USA and Team Europe battle it out for golf supremacy, many golfers watching at home will be wishing they could be out there playing alongside their favourite stars. But to bring players at home a little closer to the event they love, TaylorMade has marked the occasion by releasing special editions of its hugely popular Stealth 2 Driver. One representing Team Europe, the other Team USA.

So if you’re in the mood to upgrade your driver and fine-tune launch speeds and force, but fancy something a little different from the competition, these clubs might be for you! If you’re a true red, white and blue fan, you can pick up the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver - Ryder Cup Team USA Edition at Clarkes Golf today.

Look

Let’s get the obvious out of the way… build-wise, this special Ryder Cup driver is not a more advanced version than the previous edition of the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver. So if you already own that club, you might not be as interested as some.

Having said that, from a visual perspective, the USA edition is one of the most stunningly over-the-top drivers that’s ever hit the market (in a good way). Imbued with elements of the iconic star-spangled banner, this driver's head is sure to grab the attention of passers-by on the golf course, as well as impress your friends every time you step onto the tee, even if you don’t hail from the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The crown almost keeps to the classic minimalist appearance that made the original Stealth 2 Driver so attractive, broken only by thin stripes of white and red that make the whole thing pop. But the sole of the club is the star of the show here… the hi-tech look of the Stealth 2 remains, but it has been blessed with whips of glossy red and blue, making it a real eye-catcher.

Construction

TaylorMade maintains its dedication to Carbonwood™ technology that offers a lightweight full carbon body, for a driver that’s both easy to swing and powerful. Twice the amount of carbon than previous models, in fact, making this one of the lightest drivers ever produced by TaylorMade in its history.

This dedication is clear to see in the 60X Carbon Twist Face, which aids ball speed and strike feel when launching monsters off the tee - more on that in a moment. Plus, the carbon-reinforced composite ring that sits behind the club face makes this one of the most responsive drivers around and aids power transfer between the driver head and the ball, for speed-producing success every time.

That isn’t to say this club skimps on durability and quality, though. You’ll still find the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver (and the Ryder Cup editions) to be exceptionally durable and capable of cracking quality shots time after time. The build and design quality that’s made TaylorMade such a household name in the golfing world is clear for all to see.

Performance

This is the reason the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver has sold so well during its initial run - and that performance, of course, crosses over to the Ryder Cup editions.

Recognised as one of the most forgiving drivers available today, TaylorMade promotes this driver as the king of ‘FARGIVENESS’ - a technology that’s designed to produce incredibly long drives while also offering enough forgiveness to keep your ball on the straight and narrow.

Thanks to the improved inverted cone technology, this driver is specifically built to help all shots maintain ball speed, as well as help off-centre strikes find their way back to the fairway. There's also a flexible speed pocket which aids in swing speed generation and makes for a fully optimized energy transfer when the club strikes the ball.

Add to this the fact that TaylorMade has worked hard to craft a club that produces an ear-tingling, pleasant sound with every strike, you’ll be thrilled with how this club feels and sounds as you swing through your shot.

So if you’re looking for a driver that will help you reach the green quicker than ever before, while improving your game and saving your slices and hooks, the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver will serve you well - so why not pick up this special Ryder Cup edition and give yourself the visual edge?

Price

As with any ‘special edition’ item, you can expect to pay slightly more than the standard to pick it up. However, at £499.00 (at the time of writing) the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver - Ryder Cup USA Teams Edition is currently the same price as the original Stealth 2 Driver, making this collector’s item an absolute steal if you have the cash to spend.

So if you want to add a flashy new piece to your golf arsenal and pick up a driver that’s as powerful and forgiving as it is eye-catching, you’ll want to grab this one before it’s gone!
