Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks90
- Distance88
- Feel88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You strike it well, want a compact low-spin bomber, and love to tune bias, launch and spin.
You want maximum forgiveness or the easiest launch — the standard or Max Qi4D helps more.
Pros
- A titanium face and monster-low spin — one of the longest, most boring flights going
- Newly directional adjustability — three weight ports plus a hosel shape the flight
- A gorgeous, compact look and a deep, woody, wonderful sound
Cons
- The least forgiving of the Qi4D fairways — it wants a centred strike
- A drop in ball speed versus the faster standard Qi4D
- An intimidating, tiny footprint only better players will love
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentFairly forgiving for a compact players' head — a rear weight steadies a miss, though it wants a centred strike to shine.
Distance
ExcellentA low-spin bomber — a fast titanium face and very low spin give a long, boring, running flight for a strong swing.
Workability
ExcellentA shaper's dream — three sole weight ports now let a good player move the bias left or right, not just up and down.
Feel
ExcellentA solid, precise strike — dense off the titanium face, with feedback sharp enough to place your strike exactly.
Sound
ExcellentA low, muffled boom at impact — closer to a wooden knock than a ping, with no shrill overtones — a genuinely lovely note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA tiny, deep-faced teardrop under a dark, low-sheen carbon crown — a gorgeous, compact shape that draws an admiring look.
