When you look at the table above, what jumps out at you?

For us, it’s the stark contrast between serial winners and… well, a lack of wins. Of course, if you’re going to play on the PGA Tour you have to be pretty decent at golf, but there is another level to the likes of Rory and Rahm.

It’s been pretty common knowledge in golf for some time now that hitting it far is fun. When you add up the win totals of each column it’s quite hard to ignore that the big-hitting game seems to work. Hitting it far with confidence-inspiring accuracy - now there's a lethal combo.

TaylorMade's red-faced Stealth driver in action

Getting away from the Tour for a second, let’s talk about you. Are you trying to eek out a few extra yards or focusing on finding the fairway? More importantly, could you be getting more out of your drives?

The whole idea behind TaylorMade’s bright-red face on the Stealth drivers was to go further. Having realised the limits of titanium, the industry’s best engineers went searching for a solution to transfer more energy and add more yards. They found the solution in carbon fibre. Clever!

But, of course, guys like Rory McIlroy aren’t hitting it 320 yards out of bounds. Rory in particular benefits from TaylorMade’s Twist Face technology, which helps correct miss-hit drives and keep them in-play (or even on the fairway!). The best part? You can get the same technology in your Stealth driver!
