The TaylorMade Stealth 2 irons launched in 2023, building on the success of the original Stealth. The second generation brought refined Cap Back Design with improved distance and forgiveness, along with a through-slot speed pocket for consistent ball speed on low-face strikes. Available in standard (Stealth 2), high-draw (Stealth 2 HD) and players-distance (Stealth 2 Plus) configurations.
In the Australian market, the Stealth 2 sits at the top of the game-improvement segment — priced meaningfully above the original Stealth but well below the premium players' iron category. Still a relatively recent model, so condition has a major impact on pricing.
The Stealth 2 is where I'd spend my money if I was recommending a used game-improvement iron under $900. The HD variant is particularly well suited to slower swing speeds and is slightly underpriced in the AU market compared to standard flex equivalents. If you're shopping for a high-handicapper, look for the HD.
All prices are AU$ private sale estimates for right-handed clubs with stock shafts unless otherwise noted.

Australian prices consistently run 15–25% above FX-converted US and UK equivalents. Use this table to verify that a listing is priced correctly for the AU market.
| Condition | PGA VG (USD) | → AUD | Golfbidder (GBP) | → AUD | AU private sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Like new | ~$510 | ~$791 | ~£440 | ~$858 | $900–$1,100 |
| Good | ~$400 | ~$620 | ~£345 | ~$673 | $730–$900 |
| Average | ~$300 | ~$465 | ~£260 | ~$507 | $560–$730 |
| Worn | ~$185 | ~$287 | ~£160 | ~$312 | $360–$530 |
Australian used prices are higher than international equivalents due to lower supply, higher import costs on new equipment, and limited price transparency. This is real and structural — not seller optimism. If a listing is at FX-converted US levels, that is a genuine deal.
Selling: Facebook Marketplace and the Golf Clubs For Sale Australia group are the fastest platforms for popular models. List at the top of your price range with "offers welcome". eBay AU gives broader national reach but charges 12–14% in fees — factor this into your asking price.
Buying: For popular models, don't rush. The AU used market for mainstream clubs is well-stocked and most listings are priced optimistically. An offer 10–15% below asking on a well-priced listing is a reasonable opening position. Always ask for photos of the face, sole, hosel and shaft label before committing.
