TaylorMade Qi10 Golf Driver
The TaylorMade Qi10 Driver offers golfers distance and forgiveness with its lightweight 60X Carbon Twist Face, enhancing ball speeds and performance on off-center strikes. Its lower center of gravity and higher Moment of Inertia improve forgiveness, while the adjustable loft sleeve allows for trajectory adjustments.
Key features include:
| 60X Carbon Twist Face | Lighter than titanium, this technology maximizes energy transfer for explosive ball speed and forgiveness on off-center hits. |
| Aerodynamic Head Shape | Reduces drag for increased clubhead speed and longer, straighter drives. |
| Adjustable Loft Sleeve | Fine-tune your launch conditions with up to 4 degrees of loft adjustment. |
| Larger Sweet Spot | Provides forgiveness and consistency, ensuring performance across the clubface. |
| Infinity Carbon Crown | Covers 97% of the total crown area, creating mass redistribution and enhanced forgiveness. |
Top Competitors
Targeting different player types, these top drivers offer unique advantages. The TaylorMade Qi10 Max boasts the highest Moment of Inertia for maximum forgiveness on off-center hits, while the Callaway Paradym prioritizes low spin with its Ai Face technology for distance-seeking golfers with faster swing speeds. The Ping G430 Max sits in between, offering a good balance of forgiveness and distance with its lightweight design and high launch characteristics.
Progression of the Qi10 Driver
The TaylorMade Qi10 precedes the Stealth 2 by focusing on maximizing forgiveness through a lighter face, lower CG, and higher MOI. The Stealth 2 offers more adjustability with its hosel and weighting but might sacrifice some forgiveness for those features.
Here's a breakdown of the key feature upgrades between the TaylorMade Stealth 2 and the TaylorMade Qi10 Driver:
- Face Technology: Both utilize a carbon fiber face, but the Qi10 boasts a re-engineered 60X Carbon Twist Face. This means it's lighter and offers faster ball speeds and improved durability compared to the Stealth 2's face.
- Centre of Gravity (CG): The Qi10 has a lower CG compared to the Stealth 2. This can lead to a more forgiving club on off-center hits, helping achieve straighter shots even on misshits.
- Moment of Inertia (MOI): The Qi10 boasts a higher MOI than the Stealth 2. A higher MOI translates to greater forgiveness on mishits and reduced distance loss on off-center strikes.
Adjustability: The Stealth 2 features an adjustable hosel to fine-tune launch and trajectory. The Qi10 offers an adjustable loft sleeve for launch adjustments but lacks the sole weighting of the Stealth 2.
| 👍 Pros |

| This is by far the best driver TaylorMade has ever made. |

| 👎 Cons |

The TaylorMade Qi10 Driver boasts a massive bump in forgiveness compared to its predecessor. It has a clean look behind the ball, feels solid, and well-balanced at address. Some golfers might find the lack of an adjustable hosel a turn-off, and it isn't the cheapest driver on the market. But for the vast majority of golfers who prioritize forgiveness and distance in a driver, the TaylorMade Qi10 Driver is a strong option.
