Gear: TaylorMade Stealth UDI, Stealth DHY
Price: $249 each with Aldila Ascent Black graphite shaft and Super Stroke S-Tech grip
Specs: Forged stainless steel body and face with vibration-damping foam
Available: July 15
Who It’s For: Golfers looking for options to fill the distance gaps between fairway woods and their longest iron.
The Skinny: The Stealth UDI is a hollow-bodied driving iron designed to create a piercing ball flight and hybrid-style distance, while the Stealth DHY is a compact rescue club intended to produce a slightly higher flight and more carry distance.
The Deep Dive: Nearly every golfer carries a driver and at least one fairway wood in addition to his or her irons, but when it comes to bridging the distance gap between that fairway wood and the longest-hitting iron, things get personal. Some carry more fairway woods, such as a 5-wood and a 7-wood, while others prefer one fairway wood along with a hybrid club. Driving irons are an option for players who want a lower ball flight too.
With the release of the new Stealth UDI and Stealth DHY, TaylorMade is trying to give players options that provide both distance and feel with different flights and looks.
