TaylorMade’s latest driver the Qi 10 is said to be the longest and most forgiving driver to date. Will it beat Stella and go in Ron’s Bag?

Right Choppers we’re back in Melbourne we’re at Taylor Made HQ because Taylor Made reckon their new driver the qi1 is going to beat Stella I highly doubt it cuz it’s been just Sensational lately while we’re here we’ll try a new ball and might as well grab a new poter while

I’m here too because that’s been horrendous let’s get into it it should be interesting they’ve just opened the place for Ron that’s when you know you’ve made it Jo when they’re just opening places for you welcome to Taylor bade fitting for Ron special occasion no no idea what that’s about

Sorry can’t help you There vji good to see you again yeah you too mate you too right so we’ve headed back to tailor made because you guys reckon you’ve got the latest and greatest I reckon I’ve got the latest and greatest and uh the rules really with me in a driver not really about

Accuracy if it goes further that’s the only time I’m going to make the change so if you guys reckon you’ve got something that’s going to beat Stella which I don’t reckon you do look I’m willing to change looking forward to seeing what you got perfect n I’m here

To tell you that I think we’ve got what you’re looking for so this is Stella she’s uh pride and Joy yeah so we’re running a 9° stealth plus we’re in a 70 G xflex shaft in the Hazardous smoke PVD green so she’s definitely Built For Speed so this is going to be a this is going to be a fun one I think Ron beautiful well show me

What you got what’s the new one what is it perfect okay so Ron what we’ve got is the QI 10 this is the Quest for inertia the 10K Max so we’ve got a few models here this is the QI 10 ls the low spin so this is what’s obviously going to

Rival Stella here looks good look at that J how is that well like I said I’m not interested in accuracy never have been we just just want to see if anything can beat Stella and it’s been uh yeah look it’s 2 3 years now nothing’s come close I’ll be

Very surprised if you’ve got something but I’m I’m willing to see I’m willing to see let put this to the test all right let’s go what I hit mine first we start with Stella yep let’s go with Stella first are you tp5 or tp5x I’m this one tb5 face on it yeah it’s

Um yeah that’s fantastic we’ll definitely go with stellar and your golf ball that you play currently but I’ve Sur this here this is 2024 ball so they might not have your on them but we’ll also put them to the test okay cool cool all right so I just got off the

Plane needed about 10 drives to warm up now let’s let’s get into it we’re going to hit some shots with Stella first get some numbers and see if she can stay in the bag oh Benji I think we’re in trouble here go all right here we go it’s a good one

It’s 168 1 12 ball speed that’s a better one go she’s a fighter I didn’t tell you that Benji she’s a fighter oh that’s probably the best one sounded very good strike think that last one so 288 yep that’d be correct 288 171 ball speed so you’ve gotten that up a little

Bit quicker definitely warmed up now 9 and 1 half launch and 2600 so that’s a good one right give me one more I’m going to really give her a roost the dispersion pattern’s better too yeah it’s on the same Planet yep I tried to draw I did yeah that’s a very good one

Wow Benji you think she’s in trouble I’m not I’m telling you I’m worried I’m quietly confident going on right so what are we doing here I’m happy with that that’s that felt like she normally does just solid perfect it’s got my back I think with how warmed

Up you are pop Stellar shaft just on the on the new qi1 LS yep um exact same Loft setting as well so um we will see exactly how this goes how are you feeling I just it’s going to like that that I hit them well so this is a really good test I’m

Feeling warmed up so definitely warm I mean all of those are in in the Fairway easily you’ve got an offline measure there 15 M you know with both drivers there so with all drives so yeah we’re in a really good spot to to test this I

Notic that uh the we at the Top’s smaller it is yeah so a smaller tracking system um there’s been a lot more weight go to the back of this driver as well for that inertia um so it’s allowed us to just kind of fiddle with this a little bit

Um it’s a heavier weight as well so we’ll have a look at that so it’s probably the heavier weight there really helps from from more more of a collision right which is why I’m I’m quietly confident here with this one the one thing that helps if I put a

Driver down and I’m standing over it and I like the look of it that looks pretty good that look it looks a little bit it almost smaller than what I had for some reason y yeah that’s a new shaping definitely you know previously if if you

Know that we did some 430 heads it’s got that kind of feel to it very very clean very uh mean looking driver as well you can see it it looks pretty deep there as well so very shiny but I can see my reflection that’s only a good thing what

Do I got a bait what’s the number 295 that last one that you just hit5 same shaft this is probably as Fair as it can get really isn’t it correct same sha same golf ball oh no that’s so much lower yeah flat flight already done what do you think well it’s in the

Bag Stella do you prefer seeing it lower why it went further thanks very much for everything thanks for watching everyone all right that was that St what do we do now that I hit it good it came out like an absolute rocket spin launching spin has come down and that

Ball speed’s maintained um Sid spin for mine there was very very tight straight shot what’s the saying does what it says on the tin is that what is I don’t I’ve never heard that same before but it’s the same let’s go with that the same it

Is right let’s see if I really try and hit one now I did that was I like that sound was that one like yeah it Jesus there we go Joel what’s going on well it I I can’t believe it’s over with Stella I’m bit this is exciting but it’s also

We’re 200 RPMs under so we’ got a 268 274 difference there okay straight away it came out lower like yeah it was like every single shot has just gone like a bullet yeah so that’s the ls driver obviously that player is probably searching for that lower flatter trajectory okay and we’ve nailed that

You know we got four verse four there I know you didn’t really care about the straightness of it but it is showing up there that that is already like 50% better in dispersion and then with your carry gain and total distance that more what you’re after um yeah that’s easily

Going into the bag there I can’t believe it’s over it’s very exciting though going to be overpowering hses even more now this job so Taylor Made have given me a couple of their prototype their next ball Benji whats to go with this straighter higher better stronger all of

Those things and above plus a speed wrap core so it’s a progressive core system so we should see just all the elements that we look at ball speed launch and spin all Tighter and better we’ll see yeah so here we’ve got the tp5 x24 golf ball uh we did notice

That the tp5 is spinning a little bit more better ball speed but we know that Ron likes uh to see the ball a little bit flatter so I think golf ball change or test at least um this will show us that we might get a little bit more

Flatter ball speed I’m crossing you Benji flatter trajectory and bit of ball speed let’s do it it’s definitely flatter definely lower nice one to start after a mini break going a bit loose on that one all right you’re a loud one had a lash bit hard face how is that that that

Is just kilometers wow oh my goodness when’s yours you open yeah we’re getting you a start well if they play stable food I’m all about it you know if I can pick up after hitting someone in the ground I’ll play higher in the face you spot on the

Money there right down in ball speed we’re going to see that and expect that higher launch but that’s spin is 1,700 and that carriers a whopping 286 and 312 total absolute Dart as well that was lower better how straight is it though oh wow that’s the quickest ball speed is it

Yeah all right tell you what any pros watching this as long as I don’t have to Chip and P game on you know 173 280 so yeah it’s literally done what we I’m I’m I’m not surprised actually by the launch angle the tp5x does do that

It launches a little bit higher but it should Peak a little bit lower it’s a little bit faster through the air and then it’s lower spinning so look at that joh so that was is that average or what my best was that’s your average yep so

You’re 290 and we’re now at 304 how how much is that divid by six all than 10 you know yeah you get 50 m on a driver you’re putting that in a bag with the b% we’ve done well Okay so we’ve got our qi1 Max okay this is our

Most forgiving driver in our lineup for 2024 uh so we’ll give this one a run as well um we might just test it with a click off a little bit so it’s nice and square so this is for your Choppers can be yeah it’s food Choppers he doesn’t

Want to say it’s food Choppers if you know good but I’ll have a crack for you I’ll let’s have a look so you’re probably going to go higher you reckon yeah we would expect to see this yeah we would expect to see this we’ve got a lot of

Players out there that can’t get it you know Airborne where you’re trying to get the the spin and launch and trajectory all down um so that’s why we’ve got this Loft sleeve in this system as well but we’ll have a look and see um how this goes that is super straight very straight

Aren’t they still gone a long way that beat Stellar it is beating Stella oh that best one yeah that works as well that’s a good one it’s definitely bigger more forgiving very good that was awesome this is good Joe you can probably hit this n what uh PS what do you got in

PS I’m not joking this is Lady Evelyn it’s just been the bane of my golf so looking for anything I’ll take anything y cuz she’s been no good it’s not my fault either so we’ll obviously roll five or six using our quintic monitor here as well and then

We’ll really look through our range whether it’s TP Reserve or our spider range and see if we can get something that’s rolling better for you right you watch this go on every bloody time now just SE a push on that one launch a little bit too high as we look at this

Optimizer through here so we obviously want to get that down maybe a little bit more forward spin there as well might just kind of hug the roll and make the ball really kind of top spinning early but that’s the putter though isn’t it could be could be the user could with the putter

So obviously seeing that that’s like Landing there this is in inches here 5 in so we really want to kind of Hit The Sweet Spot around here am I getting red with the putter you are nearly getting red red with the putter I might keep it okay so quite similarly we got the

Spider 2 x here similar to what you’ve got and but we’re obviously seeing that the weights are a little bit further back that really helps with moment of a Nur and a little bit more forgiveness as well pretty good start no that’s fine thanks hey that you done good job do you

Want to just run through these numbers good that that’s first go they look pretty good all right Jo we’re ready to go that was good that went well okay doesn’t want to look at the Numbers he
