TaylorMade Stealth Driver Shaft Options 

Hi Thomas Great 👍 Video, amazing how you can control your different swing speed’s with each of the different shafts, And still control your the ball flight and shot shape, Amazing Thanks Thomas Dickey UK

Love this one. Helps a lot in knowing where to begin.

Another excellent video, thanks guys. I find really interesting how Thomas adjusts his speed to the different shafts.

I loved the Kail’li white 60s. Used it on the Callaway LTD Max and was hitting 20+ yards further than any other shaft combo. Just felt so balanced

Just saw this. Thank you. It is the only test/review I have seen that involved the Aldila Ascent. I had begun to question whether that was because no one thought much of that shaft despite the very wide range of weights and flexes it comes in. But the master fitter at the PGA Superstore where I go told me today that he thinks very highly of it and in fact has fit many players into it. So then to see your review the same day was very useful. I had been considering a Mizuno 220 STZ driver with 9.5 degree loft and an Ascent Red 50 stiff shaft for my adult son that is in the clearance rack at a very, very affordable price, but was hesitant about the shaft. Now you as well as the fitter have cleared that up for me and I will pick up the club tomorrow. So thanks again. Oh, one other thing. Instead of making Thomas be a man of all swing speeds, why not have three different staff members with different swing speeds, including a female staffer, do the hitting at the appropriate swing speed for each.

such a great video with some delicious information.... everyone who plays golf can glean something helpful from this. Thanks again...you guys are awesome...

Good video. I like you two together better than any other pairing. Good work.

So awesome that Thomas has these abilities. I have a stiff Hzrdus Smoke Red RDX in my G425 Max. Love it. Works for me.

I have been writing down the names of shafts I might try at my fitting. I don’t really know much about them, so I will be listening to your recommendations when I come in.

Would be interesting to see a similar comparison for the FW wood offerings. excellent video.

Just to add that the difference for me at least between the two shafts with the same head - stealth- was like night and day in every sense including distance, control, flight, and drop off and e-w dispersion. Was most surprised but pleasantly so. In fact similar things happened when I identified the right irons, wedges and hybrid and fairway wood for me. The choice of the right shaft and some consistency in certain categories in each case has made all the difference.

your opinion on the Mitsubishi Kai'li line ? red or the blue for a 90-94 mph swing speed or am i better off to go with VENTUS RED TR 5 ?...thx cheers

I’ve bought a stealth plus with ventus red shaft in stiff. is that okay ? I noticed you mentioned it was meant for the standard stealth

I have 100 mph speed in my swing I ordered the Stealth with the Aldilla Shaft

Hi guys! Great video! Because I'm a regular slicer, I'm interested in the HD version. The shaft that comes standard is the Air Speeder but if I chose the Ventus Red would it be better? Your numbers don't seem to show a significant difference in the end. Maybe I should even consider the Aldila Ascent? Thanks!

I tried the Stealth at a demo day and was impressed. I am Mr Average (c.93-96 mph swing speed) so have always played a regular shaft usually around the 60-65g weight. To my big surprise the best combo was a stiff 50g shaft (not sure which one). From good strikes it went no further than my 6 year old Epic driver, but I did not expect it to, but the Stealth was so much better on off centre strikes

Which shaft would you end up playing? So would you go with a different non-stock option? (For Thomas)

Evenflow Riptide is a great shaft.

I have the hazardous smoke shaft in with my stealth plus. So far it seems to work really well my swing.I am curious about the air speeder shaft tho, I didn't test that shaft,but got me wondering if I could pick up any ball speed with the lighter shaft?

Interesting discussion. Just to add that I was testing the stealth (not the hd which I did not need) initially with the ventus red and it just did not work for me and as a result almost decided the stealth was not for me. I then tried the air speeder and loved it and really works well for me - bit better distance and stability interestingly. My driver speed is about 90mph and now I have good control of my drives and am now matching up against which as of now a shortlist of four balls is the best ball - vice pro zero, Wilson triad, pro v1 and the Bridgestone 330brx. So yes indeed for a slower swing speed the air speeder is great and my spin and launch numbers are optimal for getting the best drives (distance and tight dispersion too) since a long time - and still so after 30 rounds of golf already with it. Finally found a driver since my m2 that I like and works well. I think the shaft has made a real difference - also for someone in their late 60s!!

Great Video! Is it a strange combo and bad fitter job I fit best into the Stealth HD head at 9 degrees and 1 notch lower from standard and the RDX Smoke Red in 6.0 and shaved down to 45.25 length? My swing speed max is 95 mph and ball speed in the 130s. Number we’re great and desperation was really good too! Looking for some expect validation. Thanks!

Although I,m not a bomber (95 mph driver club head speed) I found the Stealth with the hzrdus red stiff worked best for me. Very consistent and produced some good distance too.

I purchased my stealth driver from 2nd swing. I have been working on my swing and it has gotten better and faster. Am I able to come in and get refitted for a different shaft?

I tried the ventus red at a fitting and felt it was complete garbage and the feel was extremely harsh

Can you do a testing with Rouge ST LS options?

( I am 58 years old...90-94 mph swing speed....130-140 mph ball speed..hit a high ball usually fairly straight and am a 9-11 handi cap ) which shaft might suit me best ( which flex and which weight ? ) i was thinking the ventus red in regular or stiff ?.... would love tour opinion ...thx from Canada

Is the profile on the Kai li really that stiff? I often enjoy high balance/stiff tip shafts but am only at 105ss. But everything I read about the kai li seems intimidating :D

Played with a guy playing Stealth last weekend, SIM won every fairway. Proforce V2 or Even Flow

difference between the FUJIKURA SPEEDER NX RED...and the VENTUS TR 5 FW....please and thx

Curious how with the heaviest shaft, your club head speed was 7 mph faster than the next closest shaft??

Consider some aftermarket shafts too. i personally game the HULK shaft and love it, helps mostly with dispersion but its low launching and low spin so not suitable for everyone

Torque isn’t the FLEX of the shaft it’s the resistance level of the club face twisting open/closed.

It feels like taylormade offers these shaft options simply because they all have red graphics to complement the red face of the club head

Rdx red isn’t low spin

Be sure to keep those receipts... those faces have started pitting (chipping paint) the more you hit them and there are a lot of returns big boxes aren't putting back on the floor as used.

I feel like Taylormade needs to offer an Olivander edition with the core of a TigerWoods hair. Not bendy and a great punch.

None of them, go get yourself an oban instead
