TAYLORMADE DRIVERS THEIR BEST GOLF DRIVER OF ALL TIME STEALTH v M2

Taylormade have brought out their new Stealth golf driver for 2022 and Mark Crossfield is comparing it up to the old Taylormade M2. Which driver will out perform the other, do you need to spend lots of money on the latest and greatest model, or are we at a stage where saving your money and buying old is the way to go. Taylormade stealth driver is a change in technology where they have moved away from traditional titanium heads and gone to carbon. With the stand out red face of the Taylormade Stealth, let see what Mark thinks of the looks sound and feel, along with the all important performance.

This makes me smile. There's no way I would pay the price for a new Stealth, but I picked up a used M2 on e-Bay about a month ago for $115. Yup, I'm smiling.

Love my m2. I had one a couple of years back, stupidly swapped it for another brand, then another brand, then eventually swallowed my pride and bought another m2…it’s staying in the bag!

I was just about to pick up a used M2 2017 at my practice range shop, after watching this video, the 5 years old club is still performing pretty well, now I'm back in the range to get it, thanks for the video comparison ....

I picked up a used but in almost new condition 2017 M2 and I love it, the sound is amazing it makes it feel like every shot is a bomb or struck really well. The bigger head looks better imo and I love the bit of white at the front over the all black heads majority of heads use. Not to mention got my M2 for $220Cad where as the new drivers run for $600-700+

Hi Mark,
I just started playing golf last summer and bought a starter set of clubs (Top Flight). But soon after I discovered that I have skills, I bought a mint used 2017 M2 with a Fujikura pro 56 shaft and head cover for $190 from a Canadian store that shipped it to me in the US for free. I love my M2. Quite the upgrade.

Great Vid Mark. I have the same Model M2 and am comparing it a Used Sim2 which i recently purchased. The M2 i can control fades and draws a lot easier than the Sim2.The M2 is also more forgiving and has a better feel at impact. Driving distance with both was the same..The M2 Head felt lighter, and when fitted to a shaft, felt easier to swing.The Sim 2 seems to have a much harder face that is unforgiving and less able to shape shots with.I have now completed 4 rounds of golf with both and decided that the Sim 2 is going back up for sale.The same shaft was used in each club during the rounds. M2 was the winner...My Handicap 6.8..Thanks for this vid.Great content as always.

Great video. Still gaming the original M2 and not seeing enough improvements to change.... especially at these insane prices

[multipass]

Great video! Got "custom fit" for a Stealth+ over my M2 driver... except it only had +3 yards carry with a 2" longer shaft... fitter refused to let me hit my M2 again, $800 Canadian for a new Stealth and the fitter was scared of my old driver. Sticking with the M2, thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Nothing is better than an M2. Still using mine and every year I put it against all the new drivers and it matches or outdrives them all.

[ChristiannTyler]

I was ready to buy a new driver since my swing speed has significantly increased over the past 1-2 years. I currently have the M2, but instead of getting a new driver, I decided to try a new shaft. Sure enough, the dispersion tightened up, and it performs just as well as the Paradym I was considering! With the addition of larger grips, it feels like a completely new club.

To drive home the idea of standard deviation, can you test a driver against itself? I’m sure one will win in yards gained …

[garymoen]

Thanks for making this video. I am currently playing with a 2017 M2. I get good results with it but have been debating getting a new driver. You just saved me a bunch of money and reducing my golf FOMO. 👍

Just won a bid on ebay and got my M2 for $82! Very excited to try it out, hopefully an upgrade from my TaylorMade Tour Burner

[jamesthemagnificent]

I’ve changed my irons, wedges, hybrids, putter- at least twice since 2017, and my 3w once. But I still have the M2 in my bag. I’ve tried M4, SIM, SIM 2, a couple of Calloway’s, and Ping G425. None were better, and some were worse. THe poor club is getting a bit scruffy now, but until it breaks or there is some cosmic breakthrough with other drivers, it will be staying in the bag.

Great Comparison! I was considering a new driver this year, but not now! Seems like my 2017 M2 is still very relevant. I just need to get more consistent in my delivery! Thanks Mark!

I have the 2016 M2 from new... Bought the 3 wood on ebay a few years ago for £80, perfect condition... You can still get the 2017M2 brand new.. Tm still produce them

[jeffsuess]

I JUST bought a used M2 driver from Facebook Marketplace. Good condition, and with a 2nd shaft thrown in, so I have a regular and a stiff ... $175 Canadian dollars, which is $140 USD, or 107 Pound. Where I live, the different versions of the Stealth range from $750 - $800 CAD. I'd be crazy not to go with the M2 and get nearly identical performance for 20 - 25% of the price.
With TM and Callaway both putting out significantly upgraded drivers, there is a LOT of product in the used market. You don't have to pay outrageous sums to bag decent gear.
Thanks Mark, great video as always. And yes, I'm sure the penguin shirt made you hit further!

TM M2 range between £125 to £180 on ebay. Prices still very over inflated and conditions vary by price. My local golf pro took one look at my 2016 M2 and said keep it in the bag as there was nothing really to be gained by the latest versions. Over 5 years the differences are minimal so not worth paying over £450. Better paying for lessons so delivery and strike are better.

[kennethmckinney]

I'm really into golf equipment and have had quite a few M2's and M1's over the past year in great condition. For me 150.00 all day for one of these over Stealth all day. I honestly don't think anything since is better than M2...

[petersimpson]

Still playing an M2 and still love it, can’t justify the price of a new one for no gain. Slight dispersion advantage looking at your profile but very little difference. Bottom line is that the M2 is one of the great drivers. Second hand around £180 - £240 for a nice one
