TaylorMade Stealth irons vs P790 – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

Apr 26, 2022

In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s Stealth and P790 irons. WRXer ‘Lefty87’ is currently playing the brand’s P790 irons but is very tempted to move to the Stealth clubs, kicking off the thread saying:

“I haven’t had a chance to hit the Stealth irons yet, and I didn’t think I’d want to, but the reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. I’m currently gaming the P790s. They are great irons for what they are, and they offer great performance for the package, but I’m curious how the Stealth irons compare. Is there enough to separate the two…

Is the forgiveness THAT much better? I’m a sweeper, and my miss is low towards the toe. Thin shots are my weakness. Obviously, they’ll be a bit longer due to the lofts. Any input is appreciated.”

And our members have been sharing their opinions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Lobber: “Ego says 790s. Performance says Stealth. That’s my experience. Your mileage may vary. Both are excellent, but for me, Stealth is outstanding.”
BottleCap: “Took a look at the Stealth this weekend at a shop, and it’s way bigger than than the 790 in-person and has lots of offset compared to the 790.”
bvanlieu: “Stealth is the new kid on the block, but the 790s do quite well a groove or two low. It’s going to come down to either your personal testing results or simply visual. The Stealth, to me, was a good feeling club for its category, but I would call it a bit chunky for my eye. Could I game it? Sure I adapt, but I would not choose to game it as the 790s provide enough for me forgiveness, and I prefer more traditional lofts based on my SS. If you react better to the Stealth (and I have a friend who swings a bit slower than I do and just moved into the Stealth from 2 years of 790s) it may be the ticket for you. He saw better distance via the tech for his speeds. Lower loft, still elevated the ball enough, yadda yadda.”

Spotted: Axis1 prototype broomstick putter

We have seen an uptick in longer putters out on the professional tours with players gravitating toward either counterbalanced or broomstick styles. As a refresher, A “broomstick” putter is a long putter that is usually built to a length that goes up to your chest. If you have seen Adam Scott putt in a tournament recently, he uses what is classified as a broomstick putter.

Axis1 might not be the most common brand in the world of putters but they have been around a while, most notably in Justin Rose’s bag.

Axis1 is known for a putter that doesn’t look traditional but a design is used to get the center of gravity to the center of the club face, aligned with the shaft. This technology keeps the face aligned with the ball throughout the stroke. More traditional putters rotate around the shaft axis, which doesn’t align with the center of the putter, making it easier for the putter face to not be square to the target at impact.

This week at the Valero Texas Open, we spotted a prototype Axis1 putter in a long broomstick version. The head shape looks very similar to the current Axis1 Tour-HM putter that the company currently makes, which is a more squared-off mid-mallet. The prototype looks to have a similar multi-material head with a 304 stainless steel face mated to a composite back. Twin site lines run together, on the topline and on the flange, to create a longer line for aligning the putter. The steel face has a fairly shallow milling to it, and the flowing heel hosel connects to the aggressive shaft bend.

A matching black shaft is installed, and at the grip end is Super Stroke’s Zenergy Tour 1.0 two-piece in white and black. No word on if or when this will come to retail yet.
