The Qi10 Max is TaylorMade's stability play for 2024, and the headline number is 10,000. That's the combined MOI figure TaylorMade chased with this head, and it's where the "10" in Qi10 comes from. More MOI means the face twists less when you miss the center, so the toe and heel strikes that usually leak distance and curve stay closer to your target line.

This is the most forgiving driver in the Qi10 family, sitting above the standard Qi10 and well clear of the low-spin Qi10 LS. The tradeoff for that stability is honest: the Max launches high and holds a touch more spin than the other two heads, so it's built to keep the ball in the air and in play, not to squeeze out every last yard of carry for a fast swinger.

If your misses tend to fall right and you want a driver that fights the slice instead of feeding it, the Max is set up for that. It has an adjustable loft sleeve for fine-tuning, a draw-leaning design, and a big, confidence-building shape at address.

• Mid to higher handicaps who want the biggest margin for error on off-center hits
• Slower and moderate swing speeds that need help getting the ball up and carrying it
• Players who battle a slice and want a driver that leans toward a draw
• Anyone who values a large, forgiving head shape and a stable face over chasing maximum ball speed

よくある質問

What's the difference between the Qi10 Max and the standard Qi10?

The Max is the more forgiving of the two. It pushes the CG lower and deeper to reach a higher MOI, which means more stability on mishits and a higher launch. The standard Qi10 is a bit more balanced between forgiveness and distance, with a slightly more compact look. If you prioritize keeping bad swings playable, go Max. If you want a middle ground, the standard head fits better.

Is the Qi10 Max good for high handicappers?

Yes. It's one of the better fits for higher handicaps in the 2024 lineup. The high MOI keeps ball speed and direction more consistent on heel and toe strikes, the high launch helps get the ball airborne, and the draw bias works against the slice that plagues a lot of higher-handicap players.

Does the Qi10 Max have adjustable weights?

The loft is adjustable through the sleeve, so you can tune launch and face angle. The Max does not use a sliding weight track the way some driver lines do. Its draw bias is built into the head shape and internal weighting rather than something you move around.

Will the Qi10 Max help fix my slice?

It can help. The head is draw-biased, so it's designed to turn the ball back toward the center line, and you can add a touch more by adjusting the loft sleeve. It won't fully cure a slice caused by an open face or out-to-in swing path, but it gives you a head that works with you instead of against you.

Is the Qi10 Max too much spin for a fast swing speed?

It can be. The Max launches high and carries a bit more spin than the other Qi10 heads, which is great for moderate swing speeds but can cost a fast, strong player some distance to ballooning. If you swing hard and generate plenty of spin already, the Qi10 LS or the standard Qi10 is usually the better match.
