TaylorMade Stealth 2 vs TaylorMade Qi35
You play the TaylorMade Stealth 2. Is the TaylorMade Qi35 worth the money? Published specs side by side and a verdict from rules we wrote down before we looked.
Verdict
Keep
No published fact separates these two in a way that changes how the club can be set up for you. What's left is the brand's own claims about speed, launch and feel.
One of the two brands doesn't publish: adjustable hosel, adjustable weights, published MOI, USGA conforming list. We leave those out of the verdict instead of guessing.
We don't have verified prices for this pair yet, so the strongest verdict we give is “Upgrade only if…”.

These are the brand's words, summarised. We have not tested them, and they never change a verdict.
Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
This one is thin on facts, and we'd rather say so than pad it out. TaylorMade has taken the Stealth 2 pages down, so the only specs we can verify for it are the lofts (9°, 10.5°, 12°) and the $599.99 launch price, from TaylorMade's own 2023 material. Head volume, hand availability, hosel range and standard length are not available for the Stealth 2 from any live official page.
What we can verify for the Qi35: 460 cc, 45.75", a ±2° sleeve, moveable weights, the same three lofts, the same $599.99 launch price. So the money is a wash, and the lofts match.
TaylorMade's claims are where the Qi35 case sits: 13% tighter dispersion than the Qi10 with the weight in back, and roughly 9K of combined MOI. Note that the dispersion figure is against the Qi10, not against your Stealth 2, and combined MOI isn't a number the brand publishes for the older head either.
Our read: keep the Stealth 2. There is no published, comparable fact showing you would gain anything, and a two-year-old driver that already fits you is not worth $600 on the strength of a claim measured against a different model.
