Hero World Challenge

Albany GC



    Why We Like It

    Among the improvements here—beyond better overall stability on mis-hits on the heel and toe and high and low—is the increased use of carbon composite in the crown. Now stretching almost seamlessly to the top of the face, the crown saves weight to help increase stability on off-center hits and to lower the center of gravity for reduced spin and better energy transfer. The structure of the channel in the sole now gives more at impact to deliver extra flex to the face for faster ball speed, particularly on lower hits on the face.

    Max-out Your Speed and Carry Distance with The Driver

    Whether you want more distance or a consistent shot shape, you need one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact with the driver.

    From the manufacturer
    TaylorMade Qi10

    Wrapped in a clean and confident package, the Qi10 driver has been strategically engineered to help players optimize distance and enhance forgiveness. It features lower CG projection and higher MOI than its predecessor, delivering balanced performance without any tradeoffs.

    A brand-new, slightly larger address shape combined with the clean look of the Infinity Carbon Crown and a high contrast topline for enhanced alignment that inspires confidence for all levels of golfers. 

    Featuring staples of TaylorMade driver performance, Qi10 allows you to fine-tune loft and face angle with the 4° loft sleeve. Furthermore, the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ is a cornerstone of TaylorMade technology and continues to preserve ball speed for optimal performance on low-face strikes.
