Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Forgiveness92
- Feel86
- Looks86
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 TaylorMade, now a touch longer.
You want distance (the LS or standard) or to work the ball — this one only flies straight.
Pros
- A true 10,000-MOI head — as forgiving as TaylorMade gets
- A little longer and lower-spinning than the Qi10 Max
- A powerful, well-matched feel and sound
Cons
- Almost no scope to shape the ball
- Not a distance leader — forgiveness comes first
- A big footprint better players may find bulky
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingA genuine 10,000-MOI head — an off-centre hit keeps its speed and direction almost like a middled one.
Distance
ExcellentA touch longer than the Qi10 Max — a lower, deeper weight drops spin and adds a little speed.
Workability
ModestBuilt to fly dead straight — the huge MOI and a fixed deep weight leave nothing for shaping.
Feel
ExcellentA powerful, well-matched strike — feel and sound in step, meaty but never loud.
Sound
ExcellentA full, moderate note at impact — powerful yet controlled, easy on the ear.
Looks at address
ExcellentA large, high-MOI head under a carbon crown — a broad, steadying shape over the ball.
