Head to head

TaylorMade Stealth vs Qi irons

Choose the Qi if you miss to the right.

Choose the Stealth for the same lofts for less used.

Both are TaylorMade game improvement irons on its Cap Back head, the Stealth two years older than the Qi. TaylorMade's tables give them the same lofts, lies and lengths in every club but the AW (49° on the Stealth, 48° on the Qi), with a 28° 7-iron. TaylorMade built the Qi's face against the right miss it says most game improvement irons favour; the Stealth has weight moved from the toe into the sole and a little more draw bias in its long irons. TaylorMade prints 4.1 mm of offset at the Stealth's 7-iron and no offset for the Qi, and both score 3 of 5 here.
