Why We Like It
- The taller face height targets players seeking maximum ball speed and extreme low spin, especially those who often hit a fairway wood off the tee.
- A thin, flexible titanium alloy face increases deflection for more distance.
- A sliding sole weight shifts the center of gravity from front to back to control spin.
- The 40-gram weight is heavier on one side for a wider range of center-of-gravity settings and for less spin compared to last year’s Qi10 Tour.
- The company’s trademark slot in the sole stretches longer into the toe to create a wider flexible area, especially impacts low on the face.
- Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps
- 15, 18, 21 degrees (with a 12-way adjustable hosel)

The gray crown color really stands out. Face and crown combination produces a satisfying crack of the bat at impact. It's a looker with plenty of speed.
Gary

Gray carbon fiber gives it a great look, particularly in the higher lofted fairway woods. Felt hefty but not in a resistant way. There's real muscle within a compact package. Great distance consistency from tee or turf. Set it, swing it, walk after it.

Overall look at address made me feel like I was going to hit it well. That said, I struggled to produce consistent results off the tee and turf. Some good balls, some wayward. It was a mixed bag.
John

Look was very appealing to me; nothing distracting over the ball. Every shot was straight and true, higher ball flight. Added distance was great to see and came with easy swings.

Carbon fiber crown has a modern look. The metrics on the face are a nice blend of width and deepness. Getting that balance right means you feel just as comfortable off ground as you do off the tee.

Small head profile makes it appear as if it's going to be difficult to hit. On the flip side, it was the easiest club to hit and launch. Go figure. Boring trajectory makes the ball go forever. Better off the tee than turf. Able to move ball in both directions.
Peter
57, Handicap 7

Above average launch and forgiveness. Not crazy about the gray pattern on top, but otherwise, great profile. Really easy to go after the ball. Can move weight to change spin rate, which I was able to do. Feels full and powerful.
Matt

Ball explodes off the face with authority. Sound is delightful. An expressive crack, but the good kind. Everyone in your foursome will know when you've hit a good one. The club announces itself at impact.
Paul
63, Handicap 4

Don't love the look, but the feel at impact offset any negative feelings. Plenty of speed in the tank with a flight that allows the ball to cut through the air. Sole glides through the grass to deliver a heckuva punch.
Shane

Looks like an Infinity Q80. Been waiting for something to blow me away; this one checks every box and makes its presence known. Real firmness at impact — like hitting a no-doubter home run. Good launch without getting floaty.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3

I love the decision to move away from the traditional black crown. I had to do too many things with my swing to find the sweet spot. Contact bordered on inconsistent. Sound was what I'd deem neutral — clean and responsive.
Megan

Didn't love the crown finish; it's more of a silver color, and it's a bit distracting. It was so easy to hit, however. Feels like a home run, where everything syncs up at impact. Particularly liked the deeper, fuller sound.
Jin

Uniform look at address. Carbon fiber is pleasing. Smaller clubhead feels compact and powerful to me. Heavy through impact, like I'm hitting through the turn even when sweeping the ball off the tee. Gets high in a hurry.
Ryan

As a Tour model, this club is a bit above my pay grade. Tended to be less forgiving, heavier and just tougher to control all around from tee to turf. I wanted to move it faster than I could keep up with.
Jason

Plenty of adjustability to get what you need out of it. TaylorMade always has a different color with their clubs, and this one works very well. It's a light grey-ish look. Wasn't the hottest club off the face, but it was long enough.
Alan
30, Handicap 1

Off-center hits felt like they exaggerated the shape. Toe misses carved over to the left. Felt like you had to really hit the screws to get it to perform. When you did, it went high with a lot of spin, so you'll be able stop it on any green. Has a powerful, deep TaylorMade feel. Gray head is eye catching and will have your buddies talking.

Wei

The matted carbon fiber crown really speaks to me. It's so clean and gives a feeling of function. The looks matched the sound and feel; it was very useful in every shot I tried to hit. It was easy off the tee and even easier off the grass. I felt like my stock shot would be long and straight, but if I tried to lower the flight, work it left or right, I could do it without having to exaggerate.
BK

Has a heavy hit to it an impact that gives off a premium feel — like you're putting real mass behind the ball. Great club for someone who loves to hit one off the tee. No hook bias. I felt confident to go after it in a good way.
Daniel
