3 years ago Michael carried the big bertha b21 297 yards with 110 swing speed. Seems the marketers have to be more innovative than engineers these days

[garyverth]

They do look very nice, I just am not convinced about the carbon face. I can't really see the benefit over titanium. Long-term durability concerns, too. If it weren't so expensive, maybe that wouldn't matter so much.

[NextFairwayNorm]

I like what the max brings but not the draw bias.can the draw bias weight be removed or neutralised. You answered my question, lower the loft. Great review Michael

[ITS_BOBBY]

LS is made for Michael! Excellent review

[Pud]

So TaylorMade say the new face secures better to the head, an acknowledgment of a design fault in the Stealth? Seems like in light of all the faces falling off the Stealth. MOI at 10, 000 in the max, Stealth max was 8500, and that’s the MOI of the LS version in the Qi10. All of this renders the Stealth well and truly redundant, resale value? Suspect it will drop like a stone and all the residual stock in retailers, good luck with that. The obsession with annual release rather than bi annual, means redesign for redesigns sake, this might be the first real improvement since the SIM

Would love to see a SIM 2 vs QI10 standard ! Cheers

Michael, didn’t you hit the Callaway ai smoke considerably longer?

[StationStation-dugh]

Boy, I would have liked to have seen 1 good strike with the Core/middle model. This is the one everyone is playing, Rory, Scottie, Brooks, etc... It can't be such a ballooning high spin

[michaelbardeleben]

Yes Michael has nailed it once again with this in depth review - all the aspects covered except for one. I did not hear him mention the effect the grooves on these TM drivers also they were on the Stealth models. What benefit if any are the grooves on the carbon face compared to titanium faces. Interesting. Does anyone know. Do there have to be grooves cos its carbon?

[TimCaruana]

Great review. The question is whether it's worth it to drop a grand on a new driver that will show only fractional improvements over drivers of the past.

[cameronloveless]

Wow… very spinny once you got out of the LS model. Yes some on the standard Qi10 were low strikes, but on the max you middled the last 2 strikes with 7.5 degree loft and they still both spun above 3, 000. And the Ventus Blue velocore in X flex is hardly a spinny shaft! You’d need to play a VERY low spin ball with that driver, but that might not suit your irons and wedge play.

[Js_Son]

Can you move the mic farther away? When you swing, you could hear your jacket rubbing. Just sounds weird.

[CheddarTeddy]

Even set at 7* the “10k” max head is spinning damn near 3200 rpms😂

[GRIFF]

Sadly taylormade have lost their way with drivers. They have well known reliability issues with the Carbon faces and i know a fewl pretty high speed players who've had issues with the face.
Likewise Stealth drivers just arent seen at my local club like Ping, Callaway and Titleist. They need to get back to Titanium fast OR come up with a complete 1 piece carbon face and crown, not a face glued on to a Titanium frame. The worlds strongest glue isnt gonna hold up compared to a laser welded face.

[jaybrune]

Make golf great again bring back the persimmons

[venudesaraju]

I am not too sure right now about Taylormade Qi10. At the end of the day if you do not have a good swing all these drivers are a waste of time, and very expensive. Every year a new driver or a set of irons come in all brands. Not worth buying.

For the time being I will stick to my Taylormade Burner 3 Driver. It works for me. For me that is the best Taylormade has ever produced.

[ecjaye]

Qi10 Max is forgiveness worth losing 10-15 yards per drive? I'll have to say no to that.

[ItaliaJP]

Night and day from that junk stealth in performance and looks, not even close. I personally feel like Titanium's face is FAR superior. R7 is still the best driver made to this day...

[TheChismillionaire]

Pretty much every Max ball was an on the line ball- it's straight .

[nickmillar]

I don’t care about forgiveness. Just want distance and short iron or wedge in
