Tour Driver

The Qi10 LS is TaylorMade's low-spin tour driver for 2024, and it's not trying to be friendly. At 440cc, the head is 20cc smaller than the standard Qi10, which sounds like a footnote until you address the ball and realize the shape is noticeably more compact. Players coming from 460cc heads will feel that difference.

Low spin is the whole reason this head exists. Fast swingers often produce too much spin, and a standard driver makes that worse with high launch and a ballooning flight that drops short. The Qi10 LS moves the CG forward and low, which brings launch down and cuts spin. For the right player, the result is a tighter, more penetrating ball flight that actually reaches the distances the swing speed deserves.

That right player isn't most golfers. TaylorMade moves far more Qi10 Max heads than LS heads, and for good reason. The LS requires a consistent swing and a reasonable attack angle to show what it can do. Mishits are more exposed, and lower launch doesn't suit everyone. But if the ball keeps climbing too high and dropping out of the sky short of where it should land, this head is a direct answer to that problem.

• Players with swing speeds above 105 mph whose standard driver balloons and loses distance to excess spin.
• Single-digit handicappers who want a compact tour shape and can live without extra forgiveness built into the head.
• Competitive golfers going through a fitting who want genuine adjustability, not a head with fixed weights.

Câu hỏi thường gặp

What's the difference between the Qi10 and the Qi10 LS?

The main differences are head size (440cc vs. 460cc), CG position, and spin profile. The standard Qi10 launches higher and spins more, which helps average players stay in the air longer. The LS is tuned for players who already get plenty of launch and need less spin to reach their distance potential.

Is the Qi10 LS hard to hit?

Harder than a 460cc head, yes. The smaller face and forward CG punish heel and toe strikes more than a forgiving driver. If your swing is consistent, you won't notice much. If you miss the center regularly, the standard Qi10 or Qi10 Max will be more predictable and probably longer for you.

What loft options does the Qi10 LS come in?

TaylorMade offers the Qi10 LS in 9° and 10.5°, with 8° available through tour and select retail channels. The adjustable hosel lets you move a few degrees in either direction from the stock setting, so there's a workable range without needing a different head.

How much spin does the Qi10 LS actually reduce?

In TaylorMade's data, the LS reduces spin by roughly 200-400 RPM compared to the standard Qi10, depending on swing path and attack angle. For players spinning the ball at 3,000+ RPM, that translates to a flatter trajectory and more roll. For someone already at 2,400 RPM, the real-world difference is smaller.

Can the Qi10 LS hit a draw?

Yes. Moving the heavier weight to the heel position gives you draw bias, and closing the loft sleeve setting adds a bit more right-to-left shape. Most players can get a few yards of draw dialed in. It won't fix a severe over-the-top swing, but the adjustability is genuine.
