I just bought the Qi 10 max today and took it out on the course. I can’t even describe how good it is. It’s the most quiet driver I’ve ever hit, and the feel is incredible. Played a tough course and was hitting driver on holes I would never hit driver on normally. Didn’t lose a single ball off the tee, and shot one of my best rounds in a few years (81)

[@MortyJohn]

Nice!! I ordered my max and it should be here tomorrow I can’t wait to use it!

[@leftyjcw7173]

I bought the standard this morning. Playing in the morning. Can’t wait. It’s nice to feel like a little kid at 63.

[@user-sn3bj8vk5m]

I 'luuuv' the details you put in your reviews - watching them over and over and not getting bored. Don't slow down Rick. I'm new to golf and getting most of the lessons from your videos 😊

[@jackgodfrey6740]

Q Why?

[@petermiller8488]

Just bought the Qi10 LS, HUGE difference from the stealth 1 that i was using. Off centered hits were still going where i wanted and one of the most shocking things was they were still going around my average distances. Im not a long driver by any means but my ball speed on my best hits was 163-165 and my really bad miss hits still had a 155 ball speed which was crazy to me. I also gained 10-20 yards in my average drive. Used to hit it around 265 yards on average now im hitting around 275-285 on average. My best shots of the day went 295 with a carry of 268. I highly recommend this club.

[@renold-ll4ro]

Same! I also coming form stealth1 which is a disaster for me, so hard to swing. Getting fitted for the Qi10 Max today, HUGE difference, exectly as what you described, the best I'm getting is 1850 back spin and 315 yards with 110 club speed. Shaft plays a big part too.

[@petermiller8488]

@@renold-ll4ro thats a huge drive. Put it to good use. Get some birds.

[@26japrey]

Yeah I just bought the max. Hit a few 300 and all exactly where I was aiming. Bad shots still stayed in play. Absolutely blown away by this club

[@nickb106]

Great review. I often think with the review series that it would be great to see the numbers stacked up vs previous models and other brands, so Qi10 LS vs Stealth, or Qi10 standard vs Ai Smoke (and Ai Smoke vs Paradym in the other video for that matter). It would really help in adding more context for the difference in year on year changes in clubs, although you do note the forgiveness changes here. Keep it up! Thanks

[@finn8980]

Rick, I always love watching your reviews because they are very unbiased. You just go hit the new clubs and post the results. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you sir

[@joshuapollardgolf7]

I’d never buy one, but Rick still manages to draw me in to every video he makes anywhere from reviews, tutorials, training or him just playing golf with others he is a blast to watch

Rick is always my go to for any driver reviews. He always gives the best advice and unbiased opinions

[@loganebert8423]

Love the comprehensive review. The mix of modern and classic looks in this club makes it very appealing, especially from address. Great looking club and the MOI forgiveness tech seems really promising. This might be the driver that finally convinces me to upgrade from my M1...

[@SjS31]

My wife just bought me the Qi10… just had a round of golf tonight with it and wow absolutely fairway finder… best round of golf I have had since I started playing

[@heebs72gb]

It's good to see companies going towards more forgiveness than overall distance most players I think would give up 5 yards of distance to be in the fairway more consistently! I would definitely go for the q I-10 Max since my biggest problem is consistency!

[@304Golf]

Always excited to see new clubs tested. Price point on new gear is outrageous

[@richardmailea7517]

Rick, your reviews and video production never disappoint.

[@BIGRANZ24]

I had the same problem with finding the center. What’s crazy the ball still carried 285 slightly off the heel. When I found the center, oh boy was that a blast!

[@jamesmilsom3526]

Good to see Taylormade finally trying to cater to the entire driver market. As always, great video Rick

[@Jyre_0]

I really liked the looks of the sim drivers and am glad they went back to something similar. Great review! Does it still get a good distance with off-center hits compared to center and how much different does it feel?

[@christopherevans1931]

I've been watching you for years. Absolutely live your content and have learned so much! Thank you for what you do!

[@Shizzledoo]

Just tried the standard one, and compared it to LS. LS is harder to manage and the dispersion is bigger when hitting only slight off center strikes. I'd say, for the normal golfer the standard edition is the way to go - max version if you are a mid/higher handicapper 20+ - but awesome drivers ... absolute amazing.

[@larrystegall1567]

Just ordered the Qi10 based on your review and other input. Great review and a new sense of excitement for this 73 yr old man!

I got fitted for the Qi10 max driver and I have noticed I’ve lost about a good 15m of carry but the forgiveness is unbelievable but I can hit my 3 wood now just as far as my driver

[@ryanburks952]

got fitted for the LS yesterday and I don’t hit a single ball out of the center, i’m a toe striker and the LS out performed titleist, ping, callaway, cobra… efficiency with this driver was 1.47… 1000% better than both stealths

[@FrankJodieBuchholz]

Rick by far provides the most comprehensive and fair assessments of clubs; i.e. he's not easily swayed by marketing bravado rather he provides honest testing to help all golfers make sound decisions when looking to purchase new equipment. Thanks Rick!

[@detangojet]

I just bought one. I can honestly say, I’m hitting prob 15-20 yards farther than my older M2. Consistently straighter also. Love this club.

[@andrewhoughton2617]

Just bought the standard after having a fitting. Super excited to get it out on the course and smash it into the rough a few times 😆

[@djAUTOx]

Just bought one of these. First ever new driver purchase and a massive upgrade from the previous one I had. After watching this I’m glad I didn’t buy sooner because I would have bought stealth 2. Can’t wait to actually use it on course soon

[@backspinme]

Just bought a Qi10 driver but I don’t get it for a couple months. Wanted more detail on what I’m getting. Great info in this video. Well done!!

[@kreyrokusek3734]

Great reviews Rick. My current Driver is a Tommy Armour TA1. I’d love to put the new Qi10 in the bag! Keep up the great work!

[@Pauljaxxs]

This club just looks amazing. Just got back into playing after a long spell. Been looking for a driver that's forgiving for a high handicap player like me.

[@_BosS9090]

I've had my Stealth for 2 years almost and as a 17 hcp, I hit it better than my old Sim. Maybe I'm just so inconsistent that I just don't notice but I saw Improvement in all parts when I switched. Also could just be that I'm improving too...

[@user-md7kq4ef9v]

I just purchased the Max. . Didn't have tijme to get fitted, just went with it given I had a TM driver before and trust the brand. Also, getting in my late 50s where bombing drives just isn't part of my game anyway and getting older as well. Being in the fairway consistently is way more important than a few yards distance. I wonder as well if by adjusting the loft you would get more distance out of the max as the weighting tends to drive the ball up with more spin. cranking down to 7, for example may get you what the standard gives you with the forgiveness. We will see!

[@daltonyarbrough4419]

I just bought the Qi10 LS yesterday. Going to the driving range today to get it dialed in before a golf round tomorrow.

[@jackierowlands5320]

Rick you have inspired me to play golf keep up the good work. Hope your keeping well and your family

Great review and trying to decide between QI10, TSR2 and AI Smoke. Will watch more and take your advice.

[@JC-dh5kw]

Just gone from G425 to Qi10 Max after fitting! Fingers crossed the accuracy and numbers continue to be good once I get out on the courses! Also the pings noise off the face…had enough 😂 keep up the great content!

[@jasonbravooo]

I recently broke my stealth 2 that I just got. Contacted TaylorMade and they’re replacing it with a brand new qi10 LS. Super excited to try it out

[@TerryBollea1]

Looks like were going back to the Square drivers of the early nauties. Remember how horrendous those things were?? Even the pros refused to use them with sponsers threatening them. Hopefully these are better.

[@lukebraithwaite342]

Due to other financial commitments I’m still playing with my clubs from when I was 14. Nike Sasquatch driver and ping g5 irons. Looking at getting some new gear soon to try and get my handicap into the signal figures. I’ve been looking at these since they came out and am really interested in getting one for sure. Thanks for the review Rick.

[@daltonsprouse]

TM has been my favorite brand for drivers since they came out with the Burner Bubble. Looking forward to trying the Qi10!

[@jjp198]

Having tested the LS, I can say its amazing, especially against the stealth. The LS will fit more players than you would expect.

[@lesliefalconer9294]

I like the look of the new QI10 normal driver. But it is more in the performance that it appears to have improved over the stealth models quite considerably

[@sandramaier2781]

Went to the range with a friend this morning and she tells me she got a new driver. Should have seen my face when she pulled out the Qi10 Max! Told her I had watched your review and was dying to demo the club! She smiled and handed it to me, and I proceeded to hit 10 out of 10 beautiful shots! I'm sold. Great club! It swings like butter! Now I have to convince my non golfer husband I NEED one😂😂

[@DaithiCathmhaoil]

I'm not sure I can get behind the Qi10 branding, but that headcover is gorgeous... Stealth as a brand was just so cool though. Going to try one at the proshop tomorrow so hopefully I'll be converted

[@chrismc1268]

I just tested the LS version today. Awesome driver..

[@JShimshak]

Thanks for this review. I bought the Stealth 2 last year and was thinking about maybe trading it in on the new Qi10. Think I'll stay with the Stealth 2 for another year.

[@LoganT101]

I am someone getting back into golf after a few years. I was expecting to want and end up with the max. I had a fitting and with my higher swing speed and spin the LS was the one for me! Im going from a Taylor Made R7 to the Qi10 LS so it seems super forgiving comparatively.

[@jeffreyhall76]

I’m a callaway guy but this is a great driver. It performed, sounded, and felt great. Still like my epic speed and the paradym just a touch more but we’ll see what the future holds. It probably was more forgiving than my callaway

[@andyjessieyung1086]

I've not hit the Qi10 but your review is very compelling - especially your comments on the Qi10 Max! I'm playing a competitor driver and could be convinced to switch.

[@isaacloera1692]

I’ve tried the Ai smoke and Qi10 max,i will say the Qi10 is more forgiving but you do lose more distance than you would with the Ai smoke

[@Plugger00065]

Tried these for the first time this week - liked it - and will definitely consider when replacing my TSR3

[@tylermorris4653]

Always love the reviews rick. I've been in the market to replace my 18 year old clubs, and it's overwhelming. Your reviews have definitely helped. Thank you! (I'd take one of these Qi10's off your hands.)😂 😂

I recently had my stealth 2 break. Just received my Qi10 LS warranty. Hopefully it performs just as well as my stealth.

[@BuddyS9]

It don't matter how many different reviews i watch, Rick's reviews are always the one i would be basing my decision on! Just really good reviews. Bought a PXG 0211 just to try it about a year and half ago and it's a good driver but with Rick's reviews im thinking i might need to head back to Taylormade! Just wishful thinking on the Qi10's! Maybe a SIM2. Lol keep up the good work Mr. Shiels we all appreciate it!

So many tempting choices this year! So torn between the Ping and the Qi10. As always thanks for providing the best reviews in the business!
