TaylorMade Golf Company announces Stealth™ Irons with next generation Cap Back™ Design and Innovative Toe Wrap Construction

CARLSBAD, Calif. (January 4, 2022) - #taylormadegolf Company, the industry leader in innovation and technology, today announced the Stealth™ game improvement irons - powered by the all-new Cap Back™ Design with toe wrap construction.

Building from the revolutionary Cap Back Design in SIM2 Max and SIM2 Max OS irons – which utilized the concept of a multi-material hollow body construction – Stealth irons are engineered to improve face flexibility and deliver fast ball speeds with a confidence-inspiring shape.

NEXT GENERATION CAP BACK™ DESIGN WITH TOE WRAP CONSTRUCTION

With SIM2 Max and SIM2 Max OS, TaylorMade engineers created the multi-material Cap Back Design by utilizing the concept of the hollow iron but replacing the steel back with a low density, polymer composite cap. This revolutionary construction improves the face’s ability to flex, delivering ball speed and forgiveness, without compromising the center of gravity (CG). Cap Back Design supports the entire topline from heel to toe with the strong, lightweight polymer material spanning the entire cavity to provide additional rigidity in the upper part of the face.

Working in unison with the flexible Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™, it created a larger unsupported area of the face, translating to a larger and more intelligently positioned sweet spot.

TaylorMade engineers not only wanted to continue the momentum of Cap Back Design, but also accelerate it to continue to push the limits of game improvement irons. When the engineers explored designing more performance into a game improvement iron, one thought was at the forefront of their minds: place iron performance where the game improvement golfer needs it the most – lower.

Enter toe wrap construction. The toe wrap is an advanced engineering feat that shifts substantial mass from the extreme high toe of the head and repositions it in the low in the sole of the iron. This redistribution of mass lowers the center of gravity by up to 0.8 millimeters. The result is an increased launch angle producing a towering ball flight, long carry distances and heavy stopping power.

“When we were thinking of the next level of Cap Back Design, we centered our thinking around the fact that the majority of #golf shots happen at center face or lower. In order to drive performance lower in the club face, we needed to drive the center of gravity lower in the club face because where CG goes, the sweet spot follows. With the addition of toe wrap construction and the ability to move weight lower in the club, Stealth irons provide a perfect harmony of technology and design for the golfer who is looking for a performance advantage on the course.”
