Just received my driver in the mail today and went and tested it out at the local Edwin Watts golf shop. Lemme tell ya, this freakin club is HOT. When I initially tested it, I was getting 280 carry with a 300+ roll out with 118 swing speeds.

Today.....I was freakin carrying it 300 with a 164 ball speed with sub 2000 back spin. Dialed it down to 8 degrees with a KBD X-stiff 70g shaft. Damn what a club.

Best shot i had was with a 127 mph swing speed 315 carry with a 332 total distance.

I'm in my 40s

I’m not here to say you can’t hit it that far. I’m just here to say that those numbers make no sense.

That club head speed should be producing 175-180 ball speeds. Your max carry potential at 162 ball speed should be like 275-280.

Someone needs to recalibrate that monitor.

Mine is supposed to be in the 8th, they’re replacing my stealth 2 driver for free, I had separation at the bottom of the club face with the graphite insert. Only about a millimeter, but you could really feel it. Since the stealth 2 isn’t being made anymore I’m getting a qi10

That spin is awesome.

Have you put it to work on the course?

Probably. I don’t trust simulators in shops, so I bring in my own driver and hit a few to see the difference (if any). Part of it is you have perfect conditions in a sim, so I noticed I do hit it a bit further on them than a course. Some have been further off than others. If it’s a Trackman though I’ve noticed they’re solid

These clubs are silly. Too hot and freaking knuckle balls flying off of em. I’ve been told TaylorMade is losing a ton of money on the Qi10 because the smash is wayyyyy too high. I’m sure all of us have seen where the face is blowing up on these.

It might be a hot driver, but you’re leaving a ton of ball speed on the table somewhere.

No way swing speed is 127 with that ball speed. Period. 127 would produce 180-190 range ball speed normally.

164 ball speed is never carrying 300 unless you have a ton of wind behind you

My stealth broke 2 weeks ago. Face came apart. They sent a new QI10 as a replacement. I switched to ping and going to sell the QI10. Don’t trust TM drivers right now.

I haven't heard of any face issues with the Qi10 model.

Youre slitting hairs. The carry was 289 according to the monitor.
