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.
Characteristics
- The carbon-composite face and body balances forward and rear weighting for low spin and forgiveness.
- The face size is the same as the Qi10 LS, but this driver is deeper front to back for more stability.
- The redesigned sole channel gives at impact in unison with the face for faster ball speed.
- 9, 10.5, 12 degrees (with a 12-way adjustable hosel)

Reviews
The ball shoots off the face and quickly gets to the intended line. Rolls out well. Produced a consistent mid-to-high ball flight.
Ryan, 48, Handicap: 10Just an absolute masher, and yet compression felt soft. You can hit a straight ball flight with ease. Effortless power.
Thomas, 59, Handicap: 7Just an all-worthy club with an explosive face. The ball just rockets off at impact and stays in the air forever.
Josh, 28, Handicap: 1Max-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.
