Today we take a look at the new TaylorMade QI10 driver! Honestly, I thought nothing could ever beat my Ping G430 Max but the Callaway put up a good effort! Can the TaylorMade QI10 beat it?
Hope you enjoy, Gaz!
Hello guys and welcome back to the channel right as you’ve seen we’ve been doing some testing intrigued this year to see the new drivers the colorway blew me away it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be in got some really good numbers but first things
First can we’ll have a look at this head cover the qi1 head cover is definitely getting the best head cover it is like leather this is embroidered but like it bubbles out a little bit it’s got like a liquid metal thing it is that is the
Best head cover I’ve ever seen let’s see what’s underneath it Oh yeah the qi1 max as you know I use the Ping g430 Max so I wanted to make it fair one thing you will notice is you see where this weight is in the heel so this is actually quite a draw byas Club um which will help me cuz I hit that
Little 31 I’m always battling that slice but before we do anything I want you to to know the technical stuff about this club and I’m really bad at explaining that so here is Ryan so the new Q i1 range from Taylor Made is probably the worst kept secret in golf we’ve seen
This on tour probably for the last two months now with the likes of Rory Tommy Fleetwood and Tiger using this driver out in various tournaments we’ve obviously got some different models in the ls the standard and this one which is the max so it’s got a little bit of
Draw bias to it we’ve obviously got the carbon face in there as well we’ve got the um speed pocket in there to help with those off-center hits and also a really Sleek looking Black Crown which has changed from some of the models we’ve seen before in the testing we’ve
Done so far we’ve seen some fantastic ball speed and also some really good dispersion gains with these drivers so let’s see how Gaz gets on right CH that see I couldn’t have done that but look I’ll be honest I absolutely love the top it’s just nice smooth black gloss finish
But I do feel like tailor made come on that is a bit lazy it looks really it just looks really old it looks like a driver from five year ago but anyway doesn’t matter what it looks like cuz I used to get loads of stick about the
Ping last year it doesn’t look very very good I don’t care what it looks like pal I care about the numbers and how it works on the course so I’ve got no quarrels with me using the max because that’s what I like a bit more forgiveness with my driver same as the
Callaway let’s go and put this head to head in a nice honest review head-to-head on the track man against my driver the Ping g430 Max cheating stick let’s Go That’s going to be a bomb that’s the last one the cheating stick 301 right that’s it from the cheating stick feel quite emotional really really cuz I I don’t know obviously there’s going to be a new ping driver I’m going to test them all and honestly I don’t know if anything can
Replace it I’m not sure if it’s even worth doing but let’s hit the QI 10 let’s see what all the fuss is about mad that is it is it blue or is it like it’s like a Bluey you can almost like looks like a like it’s hard to explain felt ripped to be
Fair oh 302 yards 276 carries ah do you know what it’s been a good year with the cheating stick it has it’s been but like I’ve got a funny feeling this year everyone is just stepped up not as out the middle but see where it’s gone it’s another baby draw and
It’s another one over 300 yards hello T you right yeah sponsor me this year again not my best strike but two EG on take it another little draw for me again like I say it’s a it’s a pride thing it doesn’t matter you haven’t got to hit
The hardest driver this is the max Qi Max so as you can see the weight is like all in the heel so that’s why I was probably saying when I put it down I can see the face a little bit more I feel like I can anyway so it is draw byas
Again aimed at people who slice it and me as well like I say if you look at the my ping everyone I hit is kind of a little a little fade or 20 yards right and I know I do that on the call is that going to draw even that’s
Trying baby draw on the right hand side again that just felt ripped yep two Carry’s I can’t wait to look at the numbers this cuz the carry is definitely up I’ll take it’s up five yards it’s a bomb don’t think I hit anymore oh the cheating stick we’re being through so much
Together I haven’t really planned what I’m going to do with my bag and what what’s going in it yet I haven’t got an actual clue to be honestly I haven’t played much golf so it’s going to be interesting when we actually do build the bag for this year what goes
In think I’m trying to draw it now that’s the thing I don’t know beautiful right honestly Impressions wise the max for me again is unbelievable I think if you’ve battled a slice or you’ve something you’re always working on it’s something I’m always working on at the
Minute I can play a little baby fade on the coast sometimes it might just piss off into the woods but having that there and knowing it’s kind of like draw bu and stuff it really really helped I didn’t think it would help as as much
But every one of them is on the center line some have drawn for them drew the ones that didn’t Drew just stayed out to the right let’s look at the numbers weirdly ball speed is exactly the same spin is something I’ve always been battling with like I said before my spin’s like
2,500 it could sometimes even be a little bit more than that um so it’s hard for me to get my spin down so it’s nice to see my spin around that kind of perfect level really of 2,200 that I said I’ll be interested to see the carry I’m actually up five
Yards this Dayna is to get to be up five yards with a driver it is massive but it’s hard to get nor is like a couple of yards or whatever to be up five yards on carry as well is is amazing launch angle it launched higher um smash factors
Up it’s just absolutely annihilated the cheating stick looks like I’ve got a lot of thinking to do honestly didn’t expect that I didn’t I really didn’t a lot of Pros last year ditched the stealth too maybe that’s why we’ve seen Tiger and Rory and all them getting this in their
Bag really early on and they’re all using it it’s just absolutely lash it I’m devastated I’m devastated it’s absolutely killed the cheating stick and like I said I’ve got a lot of thinking to do because I’ve got to build because I do all this testing and
I see things beat mine whether it’s a confidence thing or I’ve got to go with the numbers I don’t know get in the comments what do you think does the QI 10 go in the bag I don’t know but them numbers are impressive if you have played stealth 2 you’re not getting on
With it million per try this everyone should try these new drivers cuz compared last year they are levels levels above and better maybe it’s all that uh AI anyway see you soon

Try the core model because all other testers I've watched hit those 10/20 yards further. Dial it in on the loft sleeve to suit and bosh 💥🏌️♂️
Ping out here pouring water on Taylormade’s 🔥 launch day. 😳 😅
Knowing what setting you have your ping hosel would have helped. The taylormade max is a naturally closed driver causing you to hit a slight draw or pull which will always go further than a cut. If you closed your ping driver down 1 or 2 degrees you would probably get better numbers with it than the max.
For me based on the numbers head to head 5 extra yards wouldn’t make me buy the club, the ping is quality and I couldn’t justify £600 plus quid just to gain 5 yards
I came to the comments to write that you will enjoy the new ping driver from what everyone is saying.. it’s doing bits!
How much are you being paid by Taylor made ?
Why haven’t u tried the standard version
I need to learn to hit it before I get one of these rocket ships
Looks good Gaz, but the figures are the same taking standard deviation into account 🤔👍🏻
ive got the g430max as well and for the sake of 5 yards its staying in the bag! your second shot isnt going to be any different as it already will be so ask yourself what are you actually gaining? £500 for an extra 5 yards, it makes no sense at all.
£120 per yard
looks class does that, i'd love to get one in the bag but new clubs are so expensive these days
I was fitted for the 430 max, lasted two months, too spinny and insipid. Now using the Titleist TSR 2, bombing it and straight, looks the dogs and my pals can’t believe how far I hit it. Must be the only person on the planet that didn’t get on with the 430 max, but for me it didn’t work, great driver so must have been me.
Stay loyal to the cheating stick son, what a servant.
need to tell me when you're going to Howley well have a round haha, when its back to 18 smh
Ping is uglyaf and Qi10 Carbon is a faddish gimmick imo. I’d look more at the Cobra and PXG offerings at this time. I’m sticking with my older Taylor Made Sims. Titleist TSR series seems fine as well not requiring any change as none of the new offerings give you much difference over the last 3 to 5 years. Stealth was garbage and the Carbon faces really got marked up by tees and scratched up into the polyurethane finish protecting the Carbon. Carbon gets micro fractures so longevity I would not trust either.
Nice video! And good swing too!!
I would suggest waiting until you have better weather to test. Those slight little draws turn into little hooks which are usually a lot of trouble.
Just a suggestion: Square your right foot up a wee bit and then move the ball back in your stance a touch with the Ping. Hard to tell in video but with your swing — you don’t need no stinkin’ new drivers! 😊👍
Switch it bruh, you deserve those 5 yards
I woundnt pay over 500 pounds for a new head cover !
AOA only reason you added yds.
