Where it wins
- Forgiveness89
- Feel85
- Sound85
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You fight a wayward miss and want the straightest, most stable, most forgiving driver TaylorMade makes.
You want distance (the standard or LS) or to work the ball — this one only flies straight.
Pros
- As straight and forgiving as TaylorMade gets — a genuine 10,000 MOI
- Ball speed and line hold up right across the face
- A powerful, stable feel and sound, plus a Golf Digest 2024 Hot List Gold
Cons
- Gives up real carry to the standard Qi10 — fairways over distance
- Almost no scope to shape the ball
- A big footprint better players may find bulky
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentAs straight and stable as TaylorMade has made — a full 10,000 MOI holds ball speed and line across the face.
Distance
StrongThe short one of the family — it trades a noticeable chunk of carry to the standard Qi10 for its straightness.
Workability
ModestBuilt to go dead straight — maximum stability means there's almost nothing here for shaping shots.
Feel
ExcellentA dense, energetic strike — a pleasing, forceful hit, but the rock-solid stability is what stays with you.
Sound
ExcellentA big, full-bodied note at impact — weighty but well-judged in tone, never harsh.
Looks at address
ExcellentA big, stable, carbon-crowned head — a large, reassuring footprint that sits square.
