- Forgiveness84
- Distance84
- Feel84
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You're a 0-20 HCP at 85-115mph who wants the longest 2024 hybrid + class-leading dispersion + balanced workability — the 'most popular model in the range' positioning makes it the best Qi10 Rescue for the broadest player base.
You're a slow-swing player who needs maximum launch (use the Qi10 Max Rescue instead), you want a wider 5-6-loft ladder, or you want a more compact tour-shape head.
Pros
- Independent testing: the Qi10 carried 234 yards and was the longest carrying hybrid of 2024
- Comfortably the most forgiving in offline dispersion + consistently the straightest rescue
- New larger Carbon Crown + V Steel sole + Thru-Slot Speed Pocket + Twist Face — full Qi10 tech package
- Blend of distance, forgiveness and workability — most popular model in the range
Cons
- Narrower 3-loft ladder (19°/22°/25°) than the Qi10 Max Rescue's 6-loft range
- No movable weight system — adjustability limited to TaylorMade standard hosel
- Lower launch angle (14.3°) than Qi10 Max (17.2°) may not suit slow-swing players who need maximum launch
- Carbon Crown long-term durability remains a watch-item vs all-steel hybrids
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentIn terms of offline dispersion, it was comfortably the most forgiving — throughout testing both on the course and on the simulator, the Qi10 was consistently the straightest rescue. All-new Carbon Crown frees up mass to optimise weight distribution and forgiveness. Larger carbon crown compared to prior generations creates a strategic advantage for optimal mass redistribution and enhanced forgiveness. Top-tier forgiveness — 'comfortably most forgiving' in offline dispersion + 'consistently straightest rescue' + Carbon Crown CG redistribution.
Distance
ExcellentIndependent testing: the Qi10 carried 234 yards and was the longest carrying hybrid of 2024. Thru-Slot Speed Pocket is designed to increase low face flexibility to optimize ball speed on low face hits. Distances produced were as good as you'd expect from TaylorMade. Top-tier distance — 234yd carry headline + longest 2024 hybrid + Thru-Slot Speed Pocket + Carbon Crown weight reallocation.
Workability
StrongTaylorMade offers a blend of distance, forgiveness and workability — stereotypically the most popular model in the range. About average in size with a nearly symmetrical, oval shape. Standard Qi10 is the balanced middle child between MAX (GI) and Tour (compact). Above-average workability — balanced profile offers shape control without giving up forgiveness; not tour-CG but more shape-amenable than Max.
Feel
ExcellentThe Qi10 hybrid excelled with its feel and acoustics — sounding and feeling so powerful and springy through impact while letting out an almighty crack through the ball. One of the cornerstones of a TaylorMade Rescue is its clean and powerful sound and feel. Clean impact in TaylorMade Rescue tradition. Above-average feel — powerful and springy impact sensation in TaylorMade Rescue tradition.
Sound
ExcellentAt impact, the Qi10 Rescue creates a quiet, crisp impact sound. Almighty crack through the ball. Above-average sound — quiet/crisp acoustic that produces an almighty crack on contact.
Looks at address
ExcellentQi10 looks and feels like a TaylorMade Rescue — familiarity if you've used one in the past. About average in size with a nearly symmetrical, oval shape. New larger Carbon Crown visible at address. Above-average address — familiar TaylorMade Rescue silhouette with new Carbon Crown visual; average-size balanced profile.
