Stock lofts compared

Each cell lists the heads sold at that stock loft, factory standard. Adjustable hosels extend every head beyond its stamped loft — each model page has the full settings chart.

What the differences mean

Both families are sold in 3 heads — Std, Plus, and HD for the Stealth 2, Std, Tour, and Max for the Qi10.

The Stealth 2 is sold from 13.5° to 24°, the Qi10 from 15° to 24°. Only the Stealth 2 has a stock 13.5° option.

The hosels differ: the Stealth 2 uses 4° Loft Sleeve (Stealth 2 Plus only), ±2° of loft, 12 settings; the Qi10 uses 4° Loft Sleeve (Qi10 Tour only), ±2° of loft, 12 settings. The full setting-by-setting charts are on each model's own page.

The Qi10 arrived 1 year after the Stealth 2 as its replacement. Fairway wood generations usually carry over the loft ladder and move the technology — face design, adjustability, head options — so the older family is the value buy on the used market while the newer one holds retail price.

Which should you choose?

The Qi10 is the newer generation, so it carries the current face technology and full retail availability; the Stealth 2 is the value buy used or on closeout. If the head and loft you want is only in one lineup, that decides it — otherwise the newer family is the default at equal prices, and the older one the smarter buy at a real discount.

Both families are charted in full on their own pages: TaylorMade Stealth 2 fairway wood specs and TaylorMade Qi10 fairway wood specs.
