    Callaway for me this year! I’ve been 10 to 15 yards longer and the confidence it gives me knowing I’m going to be there or ther about the fairway is amazing. I’m sure it all comes down to me but with the paradym in my hands I fill like I can compete again with the longer players at my club.

  • @keithhight2454
    @keithhight2454 Рік тому +3

    Tested both extensively over a month time period. Stealth 2+ with the Fujikura Ventus Blue TR 6S is in the bag. More forgiving with no distance loss compared to the triple diamond

  • @michaelflynn6355
    @michaelflynn6355 Рік тому +3

    I went with a Callaway Rogue ST Max 9 degree, +1 degree and neutral settings on the hosel. The forgiveness is incredible. Paradym was just a little too much above my price point on release.

  • @JayBee5
    @JayBee5 Рік тому +12

    Both are fantastic drivers. I feel TaylorMade made a larger jump this year vs their previous model. The forgiveness they added coupled with the ball speed TaylorMade is known for made it an easy decision to go with the Stealth2+. And, in my opinion, the feel/sound of that carbon face is awesome.

    Between those 2 I'd take the Callaway, but I'm gaming the G430 LST this year. I didn't think I'd ever see you game a Callaway driver for a full season, so they must have absolutely smashed it with that one!

  • @Lakersballz
    @Lakersballz Рік тому +3

    It would be Stealth 2 for me!!!
    But everyone should get fit for what works for you!]
    I've always used Callaway until last year when I got the Stealth Plus driver. It was the 1st time I ever actually got fitted, and it was eye opening. I had the best numbers with the Stealth Plus and the ST-Z. Chose the Stealth because I LOVE the sound/feel combo, best ever. It feels so much like a slowpitch composite softball bat, it's addicting. Also, Taylormades "twist face" is legit 👍I have to disagree with Mark Crossfield on twist face. I'm a lefty and my miss is towards the toe, which gives me a high slice that I know all too well. I don't get that shot anymore! I've played enough golf to know at impact where the ball is going before I see the actual ball flight, and I know for a fact that a lot of straight shots would have gone left without twist face.
    Just get fitted and see what actually works for you, screw brand loyalty 👍

    No need to change drivers if you hit fairways, and go 280 to 310.

    I was fitted into the triple diamond myself, considering my hcap is 6 I thought a low spin driver was out of my ability range, it has turned out to be the most forgiving driver I’ve ever had, and as a bonus the ones out the middle go a lot further than my past drivers, love it 👏👏

    So, I finally changed from my Titliest 915D2 to a Taylormade Stealth+ 8 degrees turned up to 9. Well, I needed a driver and it was the only driver head I could find used at the time. I hate the red face but I can live with it, i love the sound, its oddly more forgiving than I expected for a low spin driver. Oh I gained some yards to but thats minor.

  • @jayfron6012
    @jayfron6012 Рік тому

    I understand you didn’t like the look of the regular paradym, but I think you sold the comparison short with the triple diamond vs the stealth plus. The paradym and stealth plus are basically the more comparable pair, and as a usual low spin driver enjoyer, I found the paradym to be perfect. The triple diamond is extremely hot off the face but you need to be striking really well everytime for good flight. The forgiveness in the paradym is a lot more comparable to the fargiveness of the stealth 2+

  • @timmyinMB
    @timmyinMB Рік тому

    Hi James great video. I tried both but ended up with the Taylormade Stealth 2+. Callaway just appeared to sit with a closed face in my opinion. I like how the Stealth2+ looked like it was just open just a touch. I went with 10.5 degree turned down to 8.5 thus making it a flatter lie and open the face. I really hate the left shot as well! Oh and 15 yards further with stealth because I was able to swing at it. Good stuff.

  • @jeffreyljones6577
    @jeffreyljones6577 Рік тому

    Courses in northeast USA are rock hard right now. I put an old TaylorMade RocketBallz 8⁰ driver back in my bag to take advantage of the extra roll. Greens are so hard too, I need to hit 2 clubs less and then sometimes the ball still rolls off the back.

  • @industrialpalletworx3548
    @industrialpalletworx3548 Рік тому +2

    If I had to choose. Neither. Titleist Tsr4 for me. At least i would love to give it a go. Taylormade, in my opinion, is all about marketing to sell product. In all reality distance is relatively maxed out and has been for awhile. Forgiveness has been the only real change. It doesn't matter what brand it is. None of them are worth the price tag of the new drivers. Take advantage of the second hand market and lose outon a touch of Forgiveness and not a noticeable distance drop

    @steve827 Рік тому +1

    Tsr3 is the driver to have … both cally and TM don’t compete, I’ve owned both .. Callaway is longer but it’s useless out of the toe or high in the face
    TM is more stable for sure but the standard deviation in spin is was like 1700 for me for a couple
    Of ml difference
    Tsr3 was super consistent all over the face with the tightest standard deviation I’ve seen plus it’s the ball speed king
    And cally are always draw bias regardless and TM are always a flatter fade bias

  • @christiancrocker7528
    @christiancrocker7528 Рік тому

    I got fit for the G430 and Paradym and I decided to go with the Paradym. I was just more consistent, I went back last week to try the stealth 2+ because why the heck not? And my spin rates were around 400revs higher than the Paradym. I did like the forgiveness but I got the normal Paradym so it wasn’t much of any difference for me. Besides spin rate and distance (better distance with Paradym but by only about 3-5 yards).

    I bought the TD. I like the shape better. I like the smaller more triangulated shape vs the more bulbous toe on the TM. I also like the muted but strong sound on the TD more. The TM seemed more dull and I was harder to "feel" exactly where on the face I was hitting.

    I had my first ever driver fitting in March and they had me try the stealth 2 plus and regular paradym but when i tried the Tsr2 from Titleist it was far and away better. At least for me. The Cobra Aerojet was good for me also. I love the looks of the Stealth and Paradym but i think they're probably for a better golfer than me. At the end of the day it's all about the swinger. Not the swingee.

The best two I have ever had and still have both, King Cobra 440SZ with Aldila NV 65-S shaft. and my Ping G-400 with Alta CB55 R shaft. Hit both short 190-210 but straight (around 65%). 3rd runner up that I gave to my buddy that needed one. Taylormade Burner Draw club. Sadly only about 16% GIR Awful with Irons smh.
