TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers - 2024 Forum Member Review

[David Leighton Reid]

Congratulations to the testers!  I look forward to their reviews on the new TM drivers.

[Beakbryce]

Oddly enough, caught this article today from golf.com. Interesting to see if the testers find similar results. Does sort of promise some awesome test results across the board.

Congrats testers! Looking forward to seeing the reviews

Congratulations to all the testers.  A guy who plays in my men's league has purchased the initial Stealth and Stealth II.  He's currently eyeing the Qi10, so these reviews are very timely!

Have fun!

Congratulations to the testers

@Michael.Sandoval33, nice intro!

As to your handicap, because you are relatively new to the sport, I am fascinated to see if/how the QI-10 Max can help improve your “off the tee” game. Keep up the good work! 

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Late to the party!

congrats all testers, what an opportunity. Great intros @GolfSpy_BEN and @Michael.Sandoval33

I enjoyed the intro @Michael.Sandoval33! Don't worry about your handicap, we're all looking forward to seeing how the QI-10 MAX can improve your game off the tee and that handicap should go down. Hey, we all started somewhere. 

This should be a great test and you've got a great group of people taking the ride with you in @IndyBonzo, @Jmikecpa, @EMacK1961, @Hook DeLoft, and last but certainly not least, @GolfSpy_BEN. 

Ben, I also enjoyed your write up. 

I'm looking forward to this one!

@Michael.Sandoval33 like others have said great intro! Definitely looking forward to your updates as the test moves forward! 
 

@GolfSpy_BEN Solid into as well I liked the data you threw in there. If you get a chance I’d love to see how the Qi10 performs in its standard up right setting! I ran into a blocking problem last year halfway through the season and moving the BRNR Mini to that helped a ton on those awful swings. Still had some show up but the number was definitely reduced. Michael if you feel like giving the upright setting a shot I’d love to see/hear your findings as well
 

Looking forward to all the testers results across the 3 models

@GolfSpy_BEN and @Michael.Sandoval33 great intros!  
 

Never apologize or worry about the handicap.  Like I tell my dad, as long as you are enjoying yourself, keeping to protocols/traditions, and courteous of your fellow golfers, the end score really doesn’t matter. 

[Dweed]

Congratulations everyone. Have fun. Can't wait to read your results. Don't have too much fun though. We would like to read your input sometime this fiscal year. 

[William P]

Excellent intros @GolfSpy_BEN and @Michael.Sandoval33! 

Enjoy the ride Michael and remember, it's not about where you are, it's about where you are going!

[JaySavay]

congratulations to the amazing testers! Thank you for taking the time to write such thoughtful things about yourselves, and looking forward to the results you all can let us know about

[CFreddie]

Loving these intros so far - really excited how the Max helps with your game @Michael.Sandoval33.  I'll be rooting you on from afar!

[Michael.Sandoval33]

I appreciate all of the support from the fellow spies! I brought up my HCP so when reading, readers know where I am right now on the journey. I have never personally been shy about it. I am sure there are going to be a lot of beginner level golfers like myself reading this, and I want them to know they have a voice at MGS. 

I can only speak for myself but I am truly excited and now is the hard part, the wait!

Very important to get that information in there so people similar can follow you! Good work

Any of the testers planning on a fitting for this, or how are you choosing what set-up you pick for the test?

I too am curious about this.  Will there be shaft options?

I believe 3 of the 6 are going the fitting route, to ensure proper shaft weight/flex and profile of stock shaft. Stay tuned for those posts in the next week or so.

We pick from the stock options available. In other words, no up-charge shafts.

Good info @GolfSpy_BEN…there were some good options with the stock shafts.  Interested in seeing what everyone goes with.

Sweeeeeet! Congrats!! to @Jmikecpa, @GolfSpy_BEN, @IndyBonzo, @EMacK1961, @Hook DeLoft and to @Michael.Sandoval33!!

You guys are gonna have a huge audience (no pressure) so ya better knock it outta the park (no pressure)

Michael - hope this test/review helps you focus on and improve your tee game! For me being able to do the Paradym X test last year really helped me out with getting off the tee.

Ben - curious to see how this fits in, or not, with your other driver and shaft testing. Good luck!

[GolfSpy_KFT]

@Michael.Sandoval33 fantastic intro! 

Cannot wait to see how the Qi10 Max performs for you off the tee. I, too, had always struggled the most with consistency there. I was able to control it better towards the end of last year. 

The commitment you’re making to your game during the test that I am sure will carry over once the testing period is over will have a positive impact on your handicap. As someone who started 2023 as a high handicapper and brought it down quite a bit by the end of the season, I have no doubt you can and will follow the same path!

Really looking forward to tagging along as you improve!

[Rob Person]

I'm loving the diversity in testers abilities.  This is what every test should be about. 

Good hitting to all!

Testers Announced!

The TaylorMade Qi10 drivers were one of our most requested products for member testing. It is no surprise to see why, either, with several PGA Tour pros putting them into their bags immediately from launch, and even Colin Morikawa finally replacing his original TaylorMade SIM in favor of the new TaylorMade Qi10 Max. Yes, that’s correct—a tour player using the Max head.

About The TaylorMade Qi10 Series

The series of drivers consists of three models: the Qi10 Max, Qi10 LS (low spin), and Qi10 Standard. Each has slightly different weight placements, but only the LS model includes a moveable weight.

The big story for these drivers is forgiveness. TaylorMade has created its first driver with 10k MOI points. To read all the finer details of why this matters, you can see our full overview here: TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers First Look 

The shorter version is TaylorMade has leveraged a multi-material design, relocated mass, and improved shapes to achieve maximum forgiveness within each model while claiming to still retain all the speed (and therefore distance) characteristics.

Other big changes to the driver include the face and crown. Where previous versions for years had a clear distinction between where the titanium support met the carbon crown, the Qi10 features a clean glossy black crown with a new blue carbon face. The blue replaces the red of the Stealth models and is their third generation of carbon driver face.

Please welcome and congratulate our 6 testers!
