Qi10
The TaylorMade Qi10 is a game improvement iron released in 2024, designed for mid to high handicappers (typically 12–24 HCP) who benefit from a larger clubhead, wide sole, and high MOI design that reduces the penalty on mis-hits and promotes a higher, easier launch. The 2024 model's 7-iron is lofted at 26°, reflecting the brand's focus on maximising distance through aggressive loft specifications.

About the TaylorMade Qi10
The TaylorMade Qi10 features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent — designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
Loft Analysis
The TaylorMade Qi10's 7-iron is lofted at 26° — strong — notably stronger than the traditional 32–34° standard. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 164–174 yards. The 5-iron (19°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 40° is relatively strong — consider a gap wedge of 46–48° to bridge the distance to your sand wedge.

- ✓Golfers who benefit from a higher launch and softer landing on approach shots
