The TaylorMade Stealth irons launched in 2022 as a game-improvement set built around Cap Back Design with toe wrap construction — an engineering approach that shifts mass from the high toe to the sole for lower CG and higher launch. They were a significant commercial success in Australia, particularly popular with mid-to-high handicappers upgrading from older game-improvement sets.
With the Stealth 2 and now the Qi10 now on the market, the original Stealth has softened in price while remaining a genuinely capable and forgiving iron. The 450 stainless steel face delivers consistent ball speed across a wide sweet spot, and the ECHO Damping System provides surprisingly good feel for a cast game-improvement iron.
The Stealth is a solid mid-tier used iron for anyone between 12 and 24 handicap. It's forgiving, launches high, and carries well. What I'd watch is the shaft — many Stealths were sold with the stock KBS Max shaft, which is fine. If you see one with upgraded KBS Tour or DG shafts, that's worth a meaningful premium. Check the shaft label before buying.
All prices are AU$ private sale estimates for right-handed clubs with stock shafts unless otherwise noted.
| Variant / shaft | Like new | Good | Average | Worn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steel Regular | $760–$960 | $610–$760 | $470–$610 | $300–$450 |
| Steel Stiff | $760–$960 | $610–$760 | $470–$610 | $300–$450 |
| Graphite Regular | $810–$1,020 | $660–$810 | $510–$660 | $330–$490 |
Left-handed sets have a smaller AU buyer pool. Deduct 10–15% from the ranges above for left-handed clubs unless otherwise noted in the price guide.
Adjusts for your specific shaft, condition, grips, length and dexterity
The Stealth was widely sold in Australia with stock KBS Max shafts in both regular and stiff. If yours has been reshafted with premium alternatives, this adds real value:
Grip condition follows the same pattern as all iron sets — worn original grips cost the buyer AU$150–200 in re-gripping and will be reflected in their offer.
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 | ~$420 | ~$651 | ~£360 | ~$702 | $750–$950 |
| Good | ~$330 | ~$512 | ~£280 | ~$546 | $600–$750 |
| Average | ~$250 | ~$388 | ~£215 | ~$419 | $460–$600 |
| Worn | ~$150 | ~$233 | ~£130 | ~$254 | $290–$440 |
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.
