TaylorMade Qi10 MAX Driver
The first TaylorMade driver to break 10,000 MOI, delivering unprecedented forgiveness in a confidence-inspiring package. The straightest driver TaylorMade has ever made — and now deeply discounted since the Qi35 launched.
The consensus
The TaylorMade Qi10 MAX is the most forgiving driver TaylorMade has ever made, and the first to crack the 10,000 MOI barrier. Across 15 sources — 10 expert reviewers, MyGolfSpy data testing, 2 forum communities, and 2 retail review platforms — the consensus is overwhelming: this driver keeps the ball in the fairway like nothing else in the TaylorMade lineup. GolfMagic gave it a perfect 10/10 and called it the most forgiving driver they have ever tested. Today's Golfer gave it 5/5 and named it the winner of their 2024 forgiving driver test. The fact that Collin Morikawa put this game-improvement head in his bag validates it at every level of the game.
Where sources agree most strongly: forgiveness and dispersion. Today's Golfer measured the 2nd-tightest shot dispersion in their test field (337.5 sq yards) with ball speed comfortably above average. Golfstead rated forgiveness a perfect 10/10 and overall 9.4/10. The 10K MOI isn't just marketing — it represents a 1,500-point leap from the Stealth 2 HD. The Infinity Carbon Crown (97% carbon) and reshaped head — 8mm longer front-to-back — push mass to the perimeter for genuine stability gains. Surprisingly, spin isn't excessive despite the high MOI: Independent Golf Reviews noted fairly low spin alongside high launch.
Where the consensus gets nuanced: distance. GolfMagic explicitly noted this driver is shorter than many flagships. Golfstead measured 15–20 yards less carry than the standard Qi10. This is the fundamental trade-off: you're choosing fairways over raw yards. The other consistent criticism is muted strike feedback — the high MOI and carbon face make mishits feel too similar to pure strikes, which can mask swing problems. Adjustability is limited to the loft sleeve only, no movable weights. And the oversized head shape, while confidence-inspiring for most, won't appeal to golfers who prefer a compact look. At its current ~$399 price point (down from $599 MSRP), these are well-understood trade-offs for a driver that does exactly what it promises: hit more fairways.
