Thanks to a bigger profile, larger carbon fibre crown, and extreme weighting, the TaylorMade Qi10 Max driver offers a huge 10K MOI without compromising on ball speed. It’s the company’s biggest MOI gain since the original Burner 44 years ago. The Qi name is an amalgamation of the brand’s ‘Quest for Inertia’ and hitting the ‘10K’ barrier. An idea spurned by the company’s quest to produce the world’s most forgiving driver, without compromising on speed.
In the hands of our test pro back in 2024, the Qi10 Max produced a ball speed comfortably above our forgiving driver test average. It was also within 2 yards of our very longest driver (with a stock shaft) for carry distance. Numbers that could easily be reversed on another day’s testing. Throw in a 2nd tightest shot area (dispersion) and you have a powerful and incredibly accurate TaylorMade driver on your hands. In my eyes, and based on our test data, as a golfer who’s never played a TaylorMade driver before, the Qi10 Max is one of the best big dogs available in 2024.
TG Test Pro Data (8.5°, Diamana X shaft):
Ball Speed: 162.4 mph | Backspin: 2201 rpm | Carry: 270 yds | Shot Area: 337.5 yds2
