 I've tested all my latest releases of 2022 from every major brand and there is one product that is massively overlooked and that product without any doubt is my favourite golf club of the year so far. You see in recent years the restrictions placed upon club manufacturers have mean we've seen minimal advancements in most golf club technology and one of that has meant is that manufacturers now have to pay a little bit more attention to the less glamorous clubs in the bag. So what I mean by that is there is always major excitement about the release of drivers but we all know with the restrictions in place that we just aren't going to see any major yardage gains with clubs like these anymore. And whilst I think iron technologies improved massively over the years I think there's one area that is constantly overlooked but not this year. You see for me arguably the easiest club in the bag to use that aside from a putter that's a hybrid and it's also the most versatile club in most average golfers bag and this year get in. I think they've gone absolutely all out in terms of improving hybrid fairward technology but there's one club that really stands out. Now going back to my first statement there is one hybrid that is outperformed in 2022 any other hybrid that I've ever tested. That hybrid is from tailor made and it's the stealth model and trust me it's not a club that you should be ignoring in 2022. Now every average golfer needs a go-to club in the bag and the hybrid again is just perfect for that. Typical scenario a tight path 4 that we've got here at Cardin Park 320 yards off the tee is not long but it's extremely narrow and tight and what I need to do is find a fairway. So reaching for a hybrid as opposed to perhaps a long iron option and it's certainly not driver off this tee is ideal and I want confidence in that club. Now a big advocate of hybrids in general they should be in more average golfers bags but this stealth just does things particularly well and like I said I'm confident that this thing can get me a couple of hundred yards down the fairway down through that tight gap and I've got the number of options in terms of how I want to hit that shot and it's literally straight down the middle hasn't moved off the centre of the fairway and that'll leave just a bit of a flick with a wedge. So like I said hybrids in general massive thumbs up from me as you know on this channel but the stealth just does it so so good. Okay so why is this club so good and why should you not be ignoring it? Well there are two reasons and the first one being about the versatility of this club. So in terms of versatility what I mean by that is that I can hit this kind of shot which is basically me going all out for distance always going to be a bit of a right to left shot or it's got that option to just take a bit off it's a bit of a high cut when you're looking for something to land that bit softer and just the ability to do that take a good sort of 15 20 yards off the club's distance change the peak height change the launch conditions versatility is incredible but there's one other important factor in terms of versatility and for that we need to go back out on the course. Versatility is a major keyword when it comes to this golf club as you've just seen in terms of shape of shot but also in terms of how it can be used out on the golf course. Typical scenario where I've left myself an awkward little yardage into this flag and to choose that hybrid to just use a little bit of loft to pick it up off the tight lie but to get it running along the flat surface as soon as possible in an almost like a put in motion and you can see from the end result it was a good option and perhaps I wouldn't have got anywhere near that trying to choose a wedge and the second one it's just the all out performance of it so in terms of performance this thing is unreal I've never hit a club that I can comfortably carry that sort of 205 to maybe even 215 at the tip of what this thing will do and don't forget this is a four hybrid at 22 degrees the reason I've chose that it just fits in my bag absolutely perfect covers a perfect yardage I'm going to throw up a set of numbers now I've got hundreds of balls that I've hit here this morning and multiple that I could show you but this kind of 208 carry 13.9 launch 132 ball speed would you believe 32 spin height of 83 a land angle of 38.6 this is doing exactly what you want it to do in terms of still being able to play into tight par fours into long par threes or into a sort of second shot into a par five so performance wise it takes every box in terms of that performance data right we'll keep this summary short and sweet because I've already explained every reasons to why I think this is a star product of 2022 I just want to reiterate the point that I think hybrid should be in more average golfers bags that's the first thing to mention because of everything their versatility and their performance but the stealth hybrid is something that is very very special in my opinion it performs incredibly well in terms of dry ball data it performs really well out here on the course and in terms of one of the key factors why people don't like a hybrid is its ability to turn them over just a tad and that can be very off putting with that closed face that doesn't happen with this club at all and I found it very neutral at address and certainly in its ball flight it's very much been a club that I've had to work to turn over from right to left as well so another positive to throw in so overall I don't think there's any way you can pick fault with this stealth hybrid from tailor made but whichever way you go it doesn't really matter the important thing is that more average golfers are encouraged to try and test hybrids in replacement for those longer irons and get that gap in at the longer end of the bag a little bit better and a little bit more playable for our mere mortals as average golfers out there right as ever thanks for watching I'm going to finish off the last two holes here at Cardin Park it's been a wonderful afternoon and I'll see you all soon
