Where it wins
- Distance87
- Feel86
- Looks85
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing 105mph-plus and spin it too much - this is one of the longest, most accurate low-spin drivers out there, with surprisingly high MOI for the type.
You have a moderate or slow swing, or miss the centre often - the standard Qi10 or max-forgiveness Qi10 Max are easier.
Pros
- Best Driver for High Swing Speed in MyGolfSpy's 2024 Most Wanted test - 6th overall and 2nd for accuracy among high-speed players
- Genuinely low spin (2,200-2,400 rpm) with a low, penetrating launch - long and precise for 105mph-plus swings
- Surprisingly high 10,000 MOI for a low-spin head, via the 97% Infinity Carbon Crown, plus a movable 18g sliding weight
- The best feel and sound of the Qi10 family - quieter and more compressed at impact
Cons
- Bottom-half forgiveness in the high-speed field - the low launch and spin punish poor strikes despite the MOI
- A demanding, low-launch players' driver - slower swingers should take the standard Qi10 or Qi10 Max
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongNuanced - high MOI, firm in play. The Qi10 LS clears a 10,000 MOI via the 97% Infinity Carbon Crown, yet it placed in the bottom half of the high-swing-speed field for forgiveness, scoring 6.4; the low launch and low spin punish poor strikes despite the stability. More forgiving than most low-spin heads but still a players' driver - strong for the type, but no game-improvement net.
Distance
ExcellentElite for the fast swinger - ranked highly for distance and the best driver overall for high swing speeds, with low spin of 2,200-2,400 rpm and a 3rd-gen carbon face that sacrifices zero speed. A long, low-spin, penetrating flight - top-tier distance for 105mph-plus swings.
Workability
SolidA tour-level players' head - the compact, low-spin Qi10 LS rewards the better player who wants to flight and shape it, a precise, tour-level driver. Genuinely workable, with the movable weight aiding control.
Feel
ExcellentThe best of the family - it offers more feel than the other two models; you really feel the ball compress on the face, with a degree of power, solidness and responsiveness that gives better players a very pleasant experience. A satisfying, communicative sensation.
Sound
ExcellentQuieter and more refined - slightly quieter than the other two Qi10 models, a controlled and pleasing note. A more refined acoustic than the standard Qi10's crunchier note.
Looks at address
ExcellentCompact and tour-clean - a compact, players' shape with the clean Infinity Carbon Crown, a confident, tour-level look. A tidy, premium head at address.
