Qi10 Tour

CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.

Best for

You're a low-HCP (0-10) at 100-125mph who wants the most adjustable, lowest-spinning fairway in the Qi10 line — comfortable with a compact 170cc tour profile and a firmer, louder acoustic signature.

Avoid if

You have slower swing speeds (sub-95mph), you want the standard's softer acoustic profile, or you don't actually use sliding-weight adjustability — the standard Qi10 saves $100 and has a more forgiving footprint.

Pros

  • Reviewer testing: with the weight all the way forward, creates exceptional ball speed plus low launch and low spin — tour-spec low-spin distance
  • The most adjustable fairway in the Qi10 line: 50g sliding weight (3 positions) + 2° loft sleeve + 5 loft heads — up to 1000 RPM spin range in internal testing
  • Reviewer testing: profile favors workability and control — shape shots with confidence rather than relying solely on brute distance
  • Tour-validated: Collin Morikawa carries the 18° 5-wood for high, soft landings on long par-5s

Cons

  • $449 MSRP — $100 over the standard/Max siblings, reflecting the titanium head and sliding-weight track
  • Firmer feel and louder acoustics might catch some by surprise — polarizing sound profile vs the standard sibling
  • 170cc compact head is intentionally less forgiving than the standard (190cc) or Max (200cc) siblings — not for inconsistent ball-strikers
  • Now superseded by the 2025 Qi35 Tour within the brand's own lineup — modest age penalty applies

By dimension

76

Forgiveness

Manufacturer: the Tour reduces spin by 200 RPMs, possesses approximately 6% more MOI, and produces more ball speed than its predecessor. Engineers shifted more weight lower in the clubhead to maintain high inertia with an enlarged face profile to inspire confidence and generate ball speed. However the 170cc head is the smallest of the Qi10 line. With the sliding weight in the back position, you can shift the weight back for higher launch and stability. Above-average tour-spec forgiveness — 6% MOI gain vs predecessor, but the compact head intentionally trades some forgiveness for workability vs the standard sibling.

86

Distance

Reviewer testing: with the weight all the way forward, the head creates exceptional ball speed to go along with low launch and low spin. Manufacturer: the Tour reduces spin by 200 RPMs, possesses approximately 6% more MOI, and produces more ball speed than its predecessor. Internal testing has shown numbers up to 1000 RPM have been seen during testing across the weight track positions. Titanium head frees up additional mass for precise CG placement. Top-tier 2024 tour-spec distance — fast ball speeds plus the lowest spin in the Qi10 line.

84

Workability

Reviewer testing: the workability is noticeable, offering a penetrating trajectory that meets the needs of skilled golfers. The profile favors workability and control, enabling you to shape shots with confidence rather than relying solely on brute distance. Reviewer testing: created with the better player in mind who has some speed and wants to keep spin and launch a touch lower than what is on show from the other two models. 50g sliding weight gives +/-150 RPM trim (up to 1000 RPM in extreme testing) so the player can tune flight bias. Compact 170cc tour-proven shape with neutral face angle. Top-tier workability — explicitly the workable spec in the Qi10 line.

78

Feel

Reviewer testing: upon impact, the firmer feel and louder acoustics of the club might catch some by surprise, especially if you're accustomed to softer feedback. Reviewer testing: the sliding mass makes a very noticeable difference in flight, feel, sound and performance. Compact 170cc head plus titanium body produces a firmer tactile signature than the steel-body standard/Max siblings. Above-average tour-spec feel — firmer feedback that skilled players prefer, but a step from the standard sibling's softer feel.

73

Sound

Reviewer testing: the firmer feel and louder acoustics of the club might catch some by surprise, especially if you're accustomed to softer feedback. Reviewer testing: the acoustic profile differs from the standard sibling, which produces softer feel off the face and has acoustics that are a little more high pitched compared to prior-generation models. Mid-tier acoustic — louder than the steel-body siblings, the titanium construction produces a harsher impact sound that not all players will love.

84

Looks at address

Reviewer testing: a beautiful, compact look at address with a slightly more shallow face than the standard sibling. The smaller 170cc head looks extremely compact behind the ball and features a new infinity carbon crown, seeing the carbon on the crown extend all the way to the face. The carbon crown extends all the way to the face for a sleeker top-down look than the standard sibling. Top-tier address profile — premium tour-shape aesthetic that low-HCP players love.
