TaylorMade Qi10 Driver Specs & Features

The Qi10 driver is the standard model of the three options and the one that will appeal to most golfers, offering both distance and forgiveness.

The Qi10 name comes from the fact TaylorMade have, for the first time, managed to take the MOI of this driver past the 10,000 threshold to make it the most forgiving yet.

The key to the design has been saving weight to move the center of gravity low and increase the MOI, and the new Infinity Carbon Crown is integral as it now covers 97% of the total crown area compared to the Stealth 2.

The lighter overall crown, which continues a similar look to the Stealth range in slick black, has allowed for the redistribution of weight and the introduction of a fixed rear weight.

The Qi10 has the now familiar TaylorMade 60x carbon fiber face that first appeared in the Stealth series as the manufacturer continues with this technology over a titanium face.

Also part of the design is TaylorMade’s Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, which helps provide consistent ball speeds – particularly on off center strikes and those low on the face.

The Qi10 driver is available in 9 degrees, 10.5 degrees and 12 degrees and can be adjusted by four degrees (two degrees up and down).

TaylorMade Qi10 Max Driver Specs & Features

The Qi10 Max is the most forgiving of the three options with a slightly difference clubhead shape to the standard model.

This version has been crafted with a more shallow club head and more depth from front to back, with the weighting moved to the perimeters to increase the MOI to the highest in the range.

The Max driver has also been produced with the new Infinity Carbon Crown across 97% of the total crown to aid those weight savings and help lower the center of gravity.

There is the 60x carbon fiber face retained from the Stealth drivers with TaylorMade tweaking the design to provide maximum ball speed on off center strikes.

TaylorMade’s now standard Thru-Slot Speed Pocket is also positioned behind the face in this model to provide consistent ball speeds from strikes low on the face.

The Qi10 Max driver is available in 9 degrees, 10.5 degrees and 12 degrees and can be adjusted by four degrees (two degrees up and down).

TaylorMade Qi10 LS Driver Specs & Features

The most advanced version of the Qi10 drivers range, the LS is the one you will find in play most on tour and in the bag of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods.

This is the lower spinning, low launching option and suits players with fast swing speeds targeting workability with a hint of forgiveness.

The Qi10 LS has a deep face design and is more compact overall that the Qi10 and Qi10 Max, also boasting a different sole shape for improved aerodynamics in this model.

On that sole is an 18g steel sliding weight that can be adjusted to Fade, Draw or Neutral settings depending on your setup preferences.

The 60x carbon fiber face is also part of the LS model with an improved design of the variable face helping to maintain ball speeds are retained even when struck low or from the heel or toe areas.

The Qi10 LS driver comes in lofts of 8 degrees, 9 degrees and 10.5 degrees and can be adjusted by four degrees (two degrees up and down).

TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers Review: Is the new release any good?

TaylorMade have come up with trumps with their recent releases with both the Stealth and Stealth 2 families proving big hits. The Qi10 follows that trends as a hugely forgiving option.

The carbon wood face is retained in the Qi10 and this model is more likely to be a continuation of everything good we have seen in the Stealths.

But significantly TaylorMade have pushed the boundaries to make this their most forgiving set of drivers yet with distance, workability and forgiveness on offer in bucketloads.

The LS suits the better players, but the Qi10 and Qi10 Max are both great options for golfers of all abilities seeking solid distance gains without sacrificing accuracy.

What TaylorMade says about the new Qi10 drivers:

“Our goal with the Qi10 family is to make each driver as forgiving as possible, using advanced multi-material constructions to increase inertia. Qi10 is engineered for a balanced blend of distance and forgiveness.

“Wrapped in a clean and confident package, the Qi10 driver has been strategically engineered to help players optimize distance and enhance forgiveness.

“It features lower CG projection and higher MOI than its predecessor, delivering balanced performance without any tradeoffs.

“An Infinity Carbon Crown covers 97% of the total crown area, creating a strategic advantage for mass redistribution and enhanced forgiveness.

“At address, it delivers a sleek and clean view that pairs with subtle alignment cues, setting the stage for confidence and success.

“The third generation of 60X Carbon Twist Face boasts a significantly lighter face than traditional titanium constructions.

“This engineering feat reduces forward weight and maximizes energy transfer at impact for better ball speeds and preserved performance on off-center strikes. An evolved support structure bonds the face and protects ball speeds on off-center hits.

“Featuring staples of TaylorMade driver performance, Qi10 allows you to fine-tune loft and face angle with the 4° loft sleeve.

“Furthermore, the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket is a cornerstone of TaylorMade technology and continues to preserve ball speed for optimal performance on low-face strikes.”
