The TaylorMade Qi10 driver is a versatile club designed to optimize distance and enhance forgiveness for a wide range of golfers. The Qi10 fits into the base model category of drivers offered by TaylorMade, with specific models catering to accomplished fast swingers and golfers seeking maximum forgiveness. The sleek and clean look of the Qi10, with its black, silver, and blue color scheme, sets it apart from previous TaylorMade drivers such as the Stealth 2.
The Infinity Carbon Crown of the Qi10 driver provides an elegant appearance at address, with a subtle pinstripe and alignment aid to assist golfers in setting up their shots. The top edge of the face is light grey to aid in alignment, while a honeycomb pattern and blue graphic grooves add visual interest to the clubface. The branding on the club, including the Inertia Generator pod and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, clearly identifies it as a TaylorMade product.
The sound and feel of the TaylorMade Qi10 driver are consistent with the previous Stealth 2 line, providing a satisfying “snap” at impact. The driver offers stable and solid impact, with minimal feedback on mishits. The driver’s high MOI and Fujikura Ventus TR Blue shaft contribute to its forgiveness and consistency, producing tight dispersion with a stock setup.
Performance testing of the TaylorMade Qi10 driver revealed solid ball speeds and forgiveness, even under less than ideal swing conditions. The driver’s high MOI and technology features, such as the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket and 60X Carbon Twist Face, contribute to its stability and energy transfer at impact. Overall, the Qi10 driver delivers improved ball speeds and consistency down the fairway.
The TaylorMade Qi10 driver impressed the reviewer during testing, leading to its inclusion in their bag for regular play. The driver’s combination of distance and forgiveness, along with its clean and elegant look, made it a standout performer. Golfers in the market for a new driver in 2024 are encouraged to consider the TaylorMade Qi10 family for its performance and visual appeal.
