I just bought the Qi 10 max today and took it out on the course. I can’t even describe how good it is. It’s the most quiet driver I’ve ever hit, and the feel is incredible. Played a tough course and was hitting driver on holes I would never hit driver on normally. Didn’t lose a single ball off the tee, and shot one of my best rounds in a few years (81)
@@colinmarvin7677 whatever suits you. The max is a bigger head by a bit. Since buying mine, 3 other guys I work and golf with have bought them as well. They all bought the standard one. They all love it, but I would say I’m farther than all of them off the tee.

Just bought the Qi10 LS, HUGE difference from the stealth 1 that i was using. Off centered hits were still going where i wanted and one of the most shocking things was they were still going around my average distances. Im not a long driver by any means but my ball speed on my best hits was 163-165 and my really bad miss hits still had a 155 ball speed which was crazy to me. I also gained 10-20 yards in my average drive. Used to hit it around 265 yards on average now im hitting around 275-285 on average. My best shots of the day went 295 with a carry of 268. I highly recommend this club.
Same! I also coming form stealth1 which is a disaster for me, so hard to swing. Getting fitted for the Qi10 Max today, HUGE difference, exectly as what you described, the best I'm getting is 1850 back spin and 315 yards with 110 club speed. Shaft plays a big part too.
Love seeing the progression of Rick and the team. From the old videos in the golf bay with beardless Rick, to this stunning studio and spectacular editing. Much deserved success, Rick and team!
I’d never buy one, but Rick still manages to draw me in to every video he makes anywhere from reviews, tutorials, training or him just playing golf with others he is a blast to watch
Rick, I always love watching your reviews because they are very unbiased. You just go hit the new clubs and post the results. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you sir
I 'luuuv' the details you put in your reviews - watching them over and over and not getting bored. Don't slow down Rick. I'm new to golf and getting most of the lessons from your videos 😊
Great review. I often think with the review series that it would be great to see the numbers stacked up vs previous models and other brands, so Qi10 LS vs Stealth, or Qi10 standard vs Ai Smoke (and Ai Smoke vs Paradym in the other video for that matter). It would really help in adding more context for the difference in year on year changes in clubs, although you do note the forgiveness changes here. Keep it up! Thanks
I’m a little late to the party, but just had a driver fitting and come away with the Qi10 standard with 60 S Mitsubishi shaft. Wow! To get me back into golf I have a Cobra Fly XL set, which is very good, but I felt the driver was a bit of a weak link. I am absolutely shocked at how well I can hit this Qi10. It’s a seriously good bit of kit, and as a high handicapper it’s so forgiving. Not cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for here. Pro started me on a Callaway that was on offer, then a Ping G430. As soon as I hit the Taylor Made it was in another class. Very happy.
New golfer here and have been shooting in the mid 80s after about 10 months of playing, practicing A LOT. Got fitted for the LS and was far more forgiving than every other driver including the other Qi10 models, but that’s just what worked for me. 265 yard driver with 23ft of dispersion after all my hits. Not bad and love this LS
It's good to see companies going towards more forgiveness than overall distance most players I think would give up 5 yards of distance to be in the fairway more consistently! I would definitely go for the q I-10 Max since my biggest problem is consistency!
Love the comprehensive review. The mix of modern and classic looks in this club makes it very appealing, especially from address. Great looking club and the MOI forgiveness tech seems really promising. This might be the driver that finally convinces me to upgrade from my M1...
My wife just bought me the Qi10… just had a round of golf tonight with it and wow absolutely fairway finder… best round of golf I have had since I started playing
I really liked the looks of the sim drivers and am glad they went back to something similar. Great review! Does it still get a good distance with off-center hits compared to center and how much different does it feel?
my bud went through 9 stealth 2 before being told they wouldnt honor any more returns from him. his plastic martini tee rips right through the carbon coating. im assuming the new one will have the same exact problem.@@richardp5920
got fitted for the LS yesterday and I don’t hit a single ball out of the center, i’m a toe striker and the LS out performed titleist, ping, callaway, cobra… efficiency with this driver was 1.47… 1000% better than both stealths
Just gone from G425 to Qi10 Max after fitting! Fingers crossed the accuracy and numbers continue to be good once I get out on the courses! Also the pings noise off the face…had enough 😂 keep up the great content!
Just tried the standard one, and compared it to LS. LS is harder to manage and the dispersion is bigger when hitting only slight off center strikes. I'd say, for the normal golfer the standard edition is the way to go - max version if you are a mid/higher handicapper 20+ - but awesome drivers ... absolute amazing.
I had the same problem with finding the center. What’s crazy the ball still carried 285 slightly off the heel. When I found the center, oh boy was that a blast!
Just bought one of these. First ever new driver purchase and a massive upgrade from the previous one I had. After watching this I’m glad I didn’t buy sooner because I would have bought stealth 2. Can’t wait to actually use it on course soon
I've not hit the Qi10 but your review is very compelling - especially your comments on the Qi10 Max! I'm playing a competitor driver and could be convinced to switch.
nice review mate, had a fitting and the drivers face sit's more open so when you we're addressing the ball from the toe, naturally you we're hitting centre. i asked the fitter the same question as i was abit heely myself.
Currently playing Taylormade M5 and Taylormade p7mc/mb irons. Will never play anything other than Taylormade. Would love to upgrade to the newer drivers!!! This looks amazing
Thanks for the review on the new qi10 love the honesty and the way you break the differences down as you did with your top golf ball review. I like not seeing the bias in your reviews and more aimed towards what would work for each individual. THANKS AGAIN!
Went to the range with a friend this morning and she tells me she got a new driver. Should have seen my face when she pulled out the Qi10 Max! Told her I had watched your review and was dying to demo the club! She smiled and handed it to me, and I proceeded to hit 10 out of 10 beautiful shots! I'm sold. Great club! It swings like butter! Now I have to convince my non golfer husband I NEED one😂😂
Rick by far provides the most comprehensive and fair assessments of clubs; i.e. he's not easily swayed by marketing bravado rather he provides honest testing to help all golfers make sound decisions when looking to purchase new equipment. Thanks Rick!
Always love the reviews rick. I've been in the market to replace my 18 year old clubs, and it's overwhelming. Your reviews have definitely helped. Thank you! (I'd take one of these Qi10's off your hands.)😂 😂
I just ordered the QI10 Ls should get it in another week was the only club that would consistently get my spin down to 2500 rpm looking forward to getting a month of use out of it before the snow flys
Came here as I just won a full Qi10 set plus a spider tour x putter and Limited edition bag from caddycomps can't wait to use them as I've only recently got back into golf after a 10+ year break and no better set to start playing with!!
Due to other financial commitments I’m still playing with my clubs from when I was 14. Nike Sasquatch driver and ping g5 irons. Looking at getting some new gear soon to try and get my handicap into the signal figures. I’ve been looking at these since they came out and am really interested in getting one for sure. Thanks for the review Rick.
I’d be interested to try this driver. Would it make a bigger difference to a higher handicap who might need that stability more than a “better” player who middles their shot more often.
I just bought one today and smacked a jumbo grip on it. Thanks Rick for your input. Your videos or i.e tutorials always enjoy your content.. 9am tee off Sunday. Am super pumped to give it a whirl.... KEEP up your content especially the BDS clan.. That Scottish holiday was hilarious. Your 9 guiness game went way better than i expected Stella
Thanks for your thorough review! I was wondering why the Stealth line went away so quickly! I know I can always count on you to give me an honest review, and I appreciate it!
I got fitted for the Qi10 max driver and I have noticed I’ve lost about a good 15m of carry but the forgiveness is unbelievable but I can hit my 3 wood now just as far as my driver
It don't matter how many different reviews i watch, Rick's reviews are always the one i would be basing my decision on! Just really good reviews. Bought a PXG 0211 just to try it about a year and half ago and it's a good driver but with Rick's reviews im thinking i might need to head back to Taylormade! Just wishful thinking on the Qi10's! Maybe a SIM2. Lol keep up the good work Mr. Shiels we all appreciate it!
I am someone getting back into golf after a few years. I was expecting to want and end up with the max. I had a fitting and with my higher swing speed and spin the LS was the one for me! Im going from a Taylor Made R7 to the Qi10 LS so it seems super forgiving comparatively.
I just purchased the Max. . Didn't have tijme to get fitted, just went with it given I had a TM driver before and trust the brand. Also, getting in my late 50s where bombing drives just isn't part of my game anyway and getting older as well. Being in the fairway consistently is way more important than a few yards distance. I wonder as well if by adjusting the loft you would get more distance out of the max as the weighting tends to drive the ball up with more spin. cranking down to 7, for example may get you what the standard gives you with the forgiveness. We will see!
Thanks for this review. I bought the Stealth 2 last year and was thinking about maybe trading it in on the new Qi10. Think I'll stay with the Stealth 2 for another year.
Anyone else like me? You never purchase anything new, but you look forward to new golf gear review season every year? So much fun.
Recently bought the Taylormade Stealth HD for $180 US money 🐊
Ya I just think to myself maybe I’ll buy that in 2 years
Yeah I’m the same way I think some of it might just be thanks to Rick
@@bradgray4675 I finally might be able to afford a Sim2 now.

👍
I bought the standard this morning. Playing in the morning. Can’t wait. It’s nice to feel like a little kid at 63.
How did it go?
Can you give a update how did it go.
Did you like or what? 😂
Excellent. Stay forever young. There's an inner child in all of us. It's ok to let them out to have fun as much as you can.
Its just a driver. Its not going to change your game
Decided to retire my Ping G400 and just got fitted for the Qi10 driver, wood, hybrid all with Ventus shafts. They hit amazing!
Christ you must have remortgaged the house!
@@jamesioful do I sound like someone who was able to mortgage the house in the first place? 😂

@@renold-ll4ro thats a huge drive. Put it to good use. Get some birds.
Yeah I just bought the max. Hit a few 300 and all exactly where I was aiming. Bad shots still stayed in play. Absolutely blown away by this club
Always excited to see new clubs tested. Price point on new gear is outrageous
Rick is really treating us. Lots of reviews and lots of playing. And his recent grind to become even better is amazing to watch.
Love seeing the progression of Rick and the team. From the old videos in the golf bay with beardless Rick, to this stunning studio and spectacular editing. Much deserved success, Rick and team!
Recently started learning to play in October, been watching a few of your videos which are great for learning about the different clubs so cheers!

Just ordered the Qi10 based on your review and other input. Great review and a new sense of excitement for this 73 yr old man!

Having tested the LS, I can say its amazing, especially against the stealth. The LS will fit more players than you would expect.

TM has been my favorite brand for drivers since they came out with the Burner Bubble. Looking forward to trying the Qi10!
Great video but I’m still happy with my stealth. Didn’t notice much difference when I hit this at the pga superstore.

Thanks! Worth considering.
Thanks Rick, your reviews have helped me in my game and what i now have in bag.
My callaway driver broke recently, deciding to switch between the max and standard. Great review
Just ordered mine, can’t wait. Rick come to Alaska this summer and play.
Love the comparisons between the models Rick. Thanks
Brilliant.
Always appreciate your honesty and transparency with your reviews.
What a great review! Thanks Rick. I’m in the market for a new set of clubs, so this was really helpful!
I’ve tried the Ai smoke and Qi10 max,i will say the Qi10 is more forgiving but you do lose more distance than you would with the Ai smoke
I am someone getting back into golf after a few years. I was expecting to want and end up with the max. I had a fitting and with my higher swing speed and spin the LS was the one for me! Im going from a Taylor Made R7 to the Qi10 LS so it seems super forgiving comparatively.
Rick you have inspired me to play golf keep up the good work. Hope your keeping well and your family
How much more distance did you gain using the Qi10

Looking for new driver, love my TM sim …how do they compare? Can you recommend stif shaft for 105-107+ swing speed?
I enjoy watching your reviews, I, new equipment and also getting golf tips.
Just had a club fitting yesterday and this driver was incredible!
Cool video Rick. I too use a Ping - mine is a 425 Max. How does your ping compare to the compare model of Qi10? Thanks
Whats the difference between the shaft options, Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 5 vs MCA Diamana T+ 60???
Loved this review. Appreciate the honesty. One of the best reviews for helpful, decision making, information for me.
Thanks for the great reviews Rick! Investing in a new driver before this golf trip and deciding between this and the sim2 max.
It’s always awesome to see new equipment and gear and Ricks reviews are by my favorite and always superior
Love the on course versus simulator review Rick. Thanks
Very helpful review, along with the one for the Ping. Currently in the market for one of these new, very forgiving drivers.
Really enjoy these reviews... Buying new driver and woods next week and cannot wait to try this one too...
Thanks for all that you do and go through testing and reviewing these for us I am a low 90s average and you’ve helped me out a lot to get to there
