After the Stealth 2 drivers last year, golfers now have the Taylormade Qi 10 driver that boasts of providing greater stability from the tee and better distance. The new driver line-up offers a lower Centre of Gravity (CG) and higher moment of Inertia (MOI) compared to last year's Stealth 2 driver; the Qi10 driver promises to deliver golfers a blend of distance and forgiveness.

Who is it for?

The Qi10 is ideal for golfers looking for stability and forgiveness in their driver, helping them stay on the fairway without surrendering speed and distance. The shape and size of this driver are better than the smaller Stealth shape or the oversized Qi10 Max model.

The Tech

To attain the low CG high MOI, TaylorMade has used a new Infinity Carbon Crown, covering 97% of the total area, allowing mass savings to redistribute into different areas of the club head, increase the MOI and make the club easier to manage the impact. The new infinity crown provides a clean address view with improved alignment, thanks to the high contrast top line entrenched in the 60-layer Carbon Twist Face.

The Qi10 driver is about 4mm larger at the address and has a lower CG projection and higher MOI than the Stealth 2.

How Qi10 is different from Stealth 2 models:

1] The shape:  Qi10 driver is 4mm larger from front to back than the Stealth 2. Golfers looking for something bigger than the Stealth 2 shape and the large Qi10 Max will find comfort and satisfaction with the new range of the Qi10 driver.

2] The feel: The larger head shape in the Taylormade Qi10 driver enables players to hit easily and control from the tee than previous TaylorMade drivers. The Qi10 driver has an MOI of around 8500 which is lower than the 10k in the Qi10 Max. It means the Qi10 is less stable and forgiving than the Qi10 Max driver.

3] Performance: Although you may not find much difference in shots in the various models of the Qi10 range at first, the Qi10 is more reliable in helping you find the fairway. Golfers prefer the Qi10 Max for forgiveness and shot shape and the Qi10 LS for potential distance gains.
