Have TaylorMade brought out a driver that is optimal for every single golfer?
The brand are saying their new range are their fastest and most fittable ever with serious levels of adjustability across all three new Qi4D drivers.
In this video I break down the new technology, compare all three models and see if these are the best golf drivers of 2026.

putting is roll the ball to the hole a two putt is ok one yes is better , but my handicap means getting it there is the problem
The amount of people shilling this shit is unbelievable, are we so dumb we fall for a new round of BS marketing every year?
Hannah, I think the best numbers you had with a driver was with Ping. Though, there are a lot of great drivers out there. Being fitted seems to be the key. Thanks for the great content.
" more distance more forgivness " you can go back and watch Rorys driver distance from each year and there is your answer.
TaylorMade M2 driver average carry distance was around 315-330 yards
TaylorMade SIM driver average carry distance was around 320-330 yards
TaylorMade Stealth avarage carry distance was around 308-320 yards
TaylorMade Qi10 avarage carry distance was around 325-330 yards
TaylorMade Qi35 "Dot" avarage carry distance was around 300-330 yards
conclusion: Taylormade m2 released February 19, 2016 and had same numbers as any other Taylormade driver released since.
everyone can go on google and look this up, you can go to PGA website and check his yearly avg carry distance each year.
hope it helps you guys save a bunch of money.
You did get better ballspeed and better carry with the Mizuno JPX One, but still you seem more excited for the Taylor Made? Are TM paying you better? 😉
You are fitted to the 9 degree head and the vids are made with 9 degree?? I asked cause i would go for Max with 9 Degree with 94 mph swing speed.
I does not believe any "review" of this heads. Why? Because all of U hit theese heads with your own aftermarket shaft and not with the REAX shaft which should be extra developed for this heads ( HA HA yes i believe ) . So the results are not transferable and not comparable. Stay with GT1. But overall your revies are the best i.m.O. Apprechiate.
Great review Hannah. Nice to see those dispersion charts, more reviewers should do that.
Hahah yeah literally EVERYONE should be using it!
Nice review Hannah, looks a good head and the rotation markers make the face look a bit more interesting.
Hannah, are you going to be able to test the new Cobra Drivers? I see they just came out.
I agree every year TM claims that they finally figured it out but it only lasts 11 months, why can't they come out with a driver that lasts 2 years
I’ll guarantee you the Pros won’t be using the Reax shafts.
Once again more tech jargon which is going to make No difference to the vast majority of golfers,omg I’ve got the wrong shaft in all my clubs I’m loading 3* to late

Which one you like better. New Ping or Taylor made
Another nice review! TM was smart enough to supply you with a shaft you liked for your session. That said, the numbers you posted at your JPX One fitting was enough to convince me to get a Mizuno fitting (as the real deal shafts are not an upcharge).
If you had to call it now, would you game the PXG Lightening or TaylorMade Qi4??
Really good content. Thanks. I hope to test the QI4D + The Ping G440 K this year. I am using a GT2 from Titleist with a Newton Motion shaft, and it's a strong combo, so a new driver will have to be impressive for dispersion and distance for me to replace the GT2.
ONLY £549.00 for a driver with a piece-of-shit shaft so I can hit 275 yards this year nstead of 270?
I WANT TWO OF THEM!
I'm a fan of your channel and style but here is my problem…Every "Influencer" says the same glowing things about every driver brand that they are given to create content for. They all begin with a exclamation click bait thumbnail for the attention. I never see a video that is true APPLES to APPLES, Brand vs Brand vs Brand and side by side numbers. Will anyone ever do a total brand comparison with equal swing speeds and conditions to see if there is actually any real difference between the very best, Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra, PXG, Mizuno, Sub70, Tour Exotics…etc……?
Very informative. I was looking at these drivers today, and they’re great to look at. They are so light too. I’d have liked to see this test on a fairway that runs away from you, rather than left to right. Yes, they’re all on the fairway, but it looks like around 120 yards between balls on the left to those on the right.
I was fitted today for the 9 degree QI4D Max with the Remax 50 MR shaft to replace my Ping G410 driver and Red CB Alta regular shaft. The Qi4D Max driver head has two weights at the bottom, and the fitter reversed those weights around, moving the heavier one upfront. The result was that my spin went down from over 3,000 RPM to 1,800 to 2,200 where I needed it. A driver optimizer chart clearly showed me that I needed to reduce my spin to gain total distance, and this was what took me out there to get fitted. I have a 6.5 handicap, average 87-90 MPH swing speed, a 128-130 MPH ball speed, 5-6 degree attack angle of attack, and a spin loft around 12 degrees. Out of 35 shots on Trackman, the longest that I hit my Ping driver was 231 yards and my average was 210 yards. However, I was hitting the Qi4D Max over 231 yards consistently (21 yards more on average) and as far as 248 yards on my longest shot. That's an increase of 17 yards on my longest drives! So, my advice is get fitted and pay attention to those spin rates for your swing. Adjusting those weights in the driver head and getting the right shaft made a huge difference for me on Trackman. Now if I could just get a rush on my order from TaylorMade and get my driver sooner rather than later for my next round.
Agree about the feel off the carbon face, keen to feel the Qi4D! Are those REAX shaft options going to be available for us mere mortals?
Carbon face drivers are definitely not for everyone lol. I’d check it out before our. They seem dull ofc the face to me.
