• Stealth Plus
• Stealth Max D

Giving players options between all-round distance, lower-spinning control and easier launch with draw bias.

A Stealth fairway wood is a reliable option for golfers who want a club that can be used from the tee or the fairway. It can suit players looking for a second club off the tee, a longer approach option into par 5s, or a more forgiving alternative to a long iron.

Is this the right model for you?

The Stealth Fairway suits players who want a modern TaylorMade fairway wood with speed, playability and forgiveness.

It works well for golfers who want reliable distance from the tee, useful launch from the fairway and more control than driver on tighter holes.

The standard Stealth Fairway is the best starting point for most golfers. It has a larger 190cc head than the Plus model, with a 3D carbon crown helping move weight lower and deeper for better forgiveness and easier playability.

The Stealth Plus Fairway is developed for the better player who wants a lower-spinning fairway wood with more control over flight.

Its smaller 175cc head, ZATECH titanium face and heavy V Steel sole are designed to produce fast ball speed and a flatter, more penetrating flight, which can help low-handicap golfers reduce excess spin and shape shots more easily.

The Stealth Max D Fairway is aimed at golfers who want extra help launching the ball and reducing a slice. Its draw-biased setup is useful for players who tend to miss right and want a fairway wood that feels easier to square through impact.

Key Features of Used TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Woods

The Stealth fairway woods are built around speed, forgiveness and turf interaction.

The standard Stealth uses a 3D carbon crown to move weight lower and deeper in the head, while the Stealth Plus uses a smaller titanium construction with an 80g V Steel sole to create a lower centre of gravity.

From the tee, the Stealth Fairway should offer a controlled alternative to driver while still producing good distance.

From the fairway, the V Steel sole is designed to help the club move through the turf more cleanly, making it useful for long approaches, par 5s and shots where a long iron may be harder to launch.

The range gives golfers clear choices between models. The standard Stealth is the all-rounder, Plus is the lower-spinning option for better players, and Max D is the draw-biased option for golfers who want more help turning the ball over.

How this model compares to others

How does the Stealth compare to older models

The Stealth fairways followed the SIM and SIM2 generations and introduced more carbon-led construction into TaylorMade fairway woods.

Compared with older TaylorMade fairways, Stealth offered a more modern head shape, refined V Steel sole and clearer separation between the standard and Plus models.

How does the Stealth compare to similar models

Against other premium fairway woods from the same period, the Stealth range stands out because it offers a clear split between the standard, Plus and Max D models.

The standard model is the all-rounder, Plus is for better players wanting lower spin and shot control, and Max D is for golfers prioritising launch support and draw bias.

The best choice depends on whether the player wants distance, control or help reducing a right miss.
