Kaden_Marcell Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I am currently using the Qi10 driver, and I genuinely feel that this driver just does not give me what I think I should be getting. Currently I do not have the proper shaft in it, as I spin the ball around 3000 with the driver, working on getting myself a Ventus Black. I am thinking about either "downgrading" to a TSR3 or even switching into the AI smoke Triple Diamond. My ball speed is comfortably around that 175-180 number and I just don't feel that the qi10 is doing it for me. Any recommendations or if you have these clubs let me know how you feel about them!

revkev Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 At that kind of ball speed/spin rate you should probably be in the ls version. I’m taking it you weren’t fit for this club?

I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course. It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

I’m taking it you weren’t fit for this club? My fault, did not specify that it is the LS version already, I had broken my stealth 2 earlier in the year and was just warrantied for the club head. revkev 1 Quote Driver - Qi10 LS, Black Diamana X-Stiff 62G shaft 3/5 wood - Stealth 2 Plus, Ventus Blue TR 7X shaft 3 Iron - Titleist 716 MB - Mitsubishi MMT 125 TX 4-6 - Callaway X-Forged CB, Nippon Pro Modus 3 Shaft, X-Flex 130G 7-P - Callaway Apex MB 21, Nippon Pro Modus 3 Shaft, X-Flex 130G 52,56,60 - Taylormade MG4, Dynamic Golf S400 Putter - Custom Armlock Cleveland Huntington Beach Premier Soft 4 (Blackout) ALL LEFT HANDED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Okay - I had something similar happen - stealth 2 head developed a rattle and was warrantied a Qi10. Sometimes a shaft that worked well with last years model doesn’t pair as well with the next years one. For what it’s worth I clicked mine up one notch with very good results, less spin, better launch - you could try monkeying with that a bit before giving up on it.

No advice here but color me impressed. Just out of curiosity what ball are you playing? Left dash?

What’s your dynamic loft? where on the face is your contact being made? im assuming at your handicap path, face to path and face angle aren’t to crazy. changing loft is probably going to be an easier and cheaper way to reduce spin, followed by a ball change. shaft changes can hav no affect, a good effect or a bad effect based on how the weighting and feel change. I would go somewhere to try some shafts to see if they change anything before buying. There is no downgrade going to a tsr3 as there are no bad drivers on the market just bad fits Edited May 20 by RickyBobby_PR vandyland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity what ball are you playing? Left dash? Currently the standard ProV1x but have played with left dash and have seen some good improvements. This whole post is honestly nit-picking my golf game as I will say the Qi10 LS is a good driver, just maybe not the best one for me Quote Driver - Qi10 LS, Black Diamana X-Stiff 62G shaft 3/5 wood - Stealth 2 Plus, Ventus Blue TR 7X shaft 3 Iron - Titleist 716 MB - Mitsubishi MMT 125 TX 4-6 - Callaway X-Forged CB, Nippon Pro Modus 3 Shaft, X-Flex 130G 7-P - Callaway Apex MB 21, Nippon Pro Modus 3 Shaft, X-Flex 130G 52,56,60 - Taylormade MG4, Dynamic Golf S400 Putter - Custom Armlock Cleveland Huntington Beach Premier Soft 4 (Blackout) ALL LEFT HANDED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandyland Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 1 hour ago, Kaden_Marcell said: Currently the standard ProV1x I don't have near your speed and I played the ProV1x (and now Maxfli Tour X) and they both spin quite a bit off the driver for me. Like 2900 - 3300 rpm BUT that is a trade off for "control" on approach shots for me. I have heard AVX and Left Dash are good lower spin options and that may be easier/cheaper than buying a new driver but there will also be some feel and peak height changes there.
