TaylorMade Qi10 Driver
Qi10 Drivers
TaylorMade's new Qi10 drivers come in three distinct models: The Qi10 Max, Qi10 LS and Qi10.
Qi10 Max: outstanding forgiveness thatcan be a benefit to golfers of all skill levels; Collin Morikawa has shocked plenty of golf fans by choosing to play this model in 2024 simply because it is the game-improvement model in TaylorMade's new lineup of drivers.
Qi10 LS: delivers a lower spin and lower launch that is engineered to optimise performance for players with faster swing speeds and higher spin rates; Rory McIlroy is using the TaylorMade Qi10 LS Driver in 2024.
Qi10: aimed at golfers seeking the ultimate blend of distance and forgiveness.
The big story from TaylorMade's new line of drivers is the new Qi10 Max, which boasts a combined total MOI of 10,000 g-cm²(10K), a feat that is the result of advanced lightweight materials, a reinvented head shape and strategic placement of mass.
The Qi10 Max utilises four key technologies in order to achieve a combined total MOI of 10k. They are:
Advanced Construction with Infinity Crown: Strategic mass redistribution, enabling a deep and low centre of gravity (CG) for optimal launch and spin control while maintaining high MOI.
Optimised Head Shape: Theunique head shape contributes significantly to the clubhead’s inertia by allowing mass to be placed further from the centre of the clubhead.
Carbon Face Technology: The third generation of 60X CarbonTwist Face, delivering a fast face on centre strikes while also preserving ball speed on mis-hits.
Torque-Control Shaft: a shaft with lower torque, promoting improved face closure at impact.
The Qi10 LS also incorporates a new, more efficient moveable weight that features a single 18g steel sliding weight housed by an innovative track system. Strategic shaping along the sole is designed to deliver better aerodynamics with reduced turbulence. The redesigned structure allows the adjustable weight to move farther forward and lower relative to its predecessor, resulting in a lower balance point and optimised inertia for a more forgiving low-spin experience.
The Qi10 features a brand-new, slightly larger address shape combined with the clean look of the Infinity carbon crown and a high contrast topline for enhanced alignment that inspires confidence for all levels of golfers.
The entire Qi10 family of drivers feature a 4° loft sleeve (+/-2°) and builds upon proven TaylorMade technologies such as the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket designed to optimise ball speed on low face hits.
TaylorMade's Qi10 Fairway Woods come in three new models: The Qi10, Qi10 Max and Qi10 Tour.
Qi10 Max: Extreme forgiveness and playability
The Qi10 Max Fairway takes TaylorMade’s proven formula for this target golfer and enhances it for extreme forgiveness and playability. Its larger front-to-back shape allows for increased inertia that’s designed to deliver more stability at impact. A shallower profile and extreme MOI allow for higher launch and forgiveness across the face, making this the most forgiving fairway TaylorMade has ever made.
Departing from the traditional, the Qi10 Max Fairway boasts an ultra-high MOI construction, combining lowCG projection with a confidence-inspiring 200cc head volume. Internal mass pads have been designed for maximum forgiveness with the weight moved to the extreme low back, making this fairway TaylorMade’s easiest to hit in the line.
Qi10: Perfect blend of distance and forgiveness
The most widely used version on Tour and among amateurs, the Qi10 Fairway is the perfect blend of distance and forgiveness, while the precision CG location delivers a combo of high launch and low spin.
The Qi10 Fairway incorporates proven TaylorMade technologies such as the Thru-Slot SpeedPocket and laser etched topline. Respectively, these features boost speed on low-face shots and promote consistently accurate alignment.
Continuing the legacy of V technology, the Qi10 Fairway's sole design improves turf interaction and versatility. Internal mass pads have been designed for balanced performance; weight has been split between low-forward and low-back to produce a hot trajectory with ample forgiveness.
Qi10 Tour: Three fairways in one
The Qi10 Tour fairway features a titanium head that frees up additional mass for precise CG placement in a compact, Tour-proven shape. It boasts a lower profile moveable weight system with a 50g sliding weight and a 2° loft sleeve to offer versatile flight options. Golfers can shift the weight back for higher launch and stability, centre for all-around performance or move it forward for a low-spin ball flight with maximum distance.
New to the Qi10 Tour Fairway is the integration of a TSS weight and the innovative infinity carbon crown. The TSS weight enables precise customisation for pinpoint swing weighting, while the infinity crown provides a sleek, clean look at address that makes alignment easy.
Qi10 Tour fairway combines proven TaylorMade innovations like multi-material titanium carbon construction, laser topline alignment and Twist Face. These features blend seamlessly to enhance overall performance across a variety of on-course scenarios.
Following on from both the drivers and Fairway woods, the hybrids in the Qi family come in three different models: the Qi10, Qi10 Max and Qi10 Tour.
The Qi10 family of Rescue clubs is headlined by the all-new carbon crown in the Qi10 and Qi10 Max models, which frees up mass for optimal weight distribution and forgiveness. Each Rescue features a different shape with the oversized Qi10 Max, classic Qi10 and compact Qi10Tour.
Qi10: Has internal split weighting and low CG to create a versatile Rescue with extremely long distance and easy, high launch. The mid-face height allows for easy launch from tight lies and confidence off the tee. Both Qi10 and Qi10 Max hybrids have the proven V Steel sole to improve turn interaction and versatility.
Qi10 Max: Features rear-leaning perimeter weighting and ultra-low CG, the Qi10 Max is a versatile Rescue engineered for high launch and max forgiveness. A shallow face height allows golfers to hit it high from anywhere.
Qi10 Tour: Has a deeper forged C300 face with a higher toe that provides a look and performance for players seeking the ultimate combination of distance, workability, control, andiron-like turf interaction with excellent versatility. Internal heel-toe weighting promotes added cohesiveness with a more compact look.
The entire Qi10 Rescue family features a Thru-Slot Speed Pocket to optimise speed on low face hits and Twist Face corrective face angles designed to overcome inherent golfer tendencies on mis-hits to produce straighter shots.
With Qi Irons, TaylorMade debuts its new Integrated System Design–a suite of technologies aimed at optimising each individual iron head.
The 4 and 5-irons feature a lower profile backbar design for a low centre of gravity that encourages easy launch and towering ball flights. On the other end, shorter irons showcase a backbar design with exaggerated heel-toe weighting for higher inertia, delivering enhanced forgiveness with the ability to control ball flight with scoring clubs. FLTD CG also plays a critical role in optimising performance throughout the set.
In the simplest terms, the advantage of FLTD CG is easier launch with long irons and better control with short irons.
Now in its second generation, Cap Back Design with Toe Wrap Construction blends the advantages of a hollow-body iron with those of a traditional cavity back, replacing the steel back with a more efficient composite badge. The result is a synergistic construction with optimal mass properties, clean lines and a satisfying sound and feel, akin to a player's distance iron such as P·770 or P·790.
To enhance sound and feel, the 2024 Qi Irons feature re-engineered HYBRAR Echo Dampers in the 4-through 9-irons. Individually designed for each iron, these dampers incorporate strategically placed ribbed structures that sit behind the face. Each iron face aligns with the damper, effectively reducing unwanted vibrations while maintaining a desirable sound and feel.
Qi HL Irons
Qi HL irons are crafted for players seeking higher launch and faster clubhead speeds. Loft configurations are approximately 2° higher compared to the standard Qi model, contributing to Qi HL’s ability to achieve increased launch angles. Another defining feature is the weight reduction, with like-to-like builds of Qi HL measuring up to 26g lighter than a standard Qi iron, a design element intended to enhance clubhead speed and overall performance for a specific audience.
