The stability and forgiveness of the head would be remarkable in isolation, but combined with the relatively low spin levels and high ball speed, it’s pretty exceptional. Ping has achieved a performance package that will suit a very broad spectrum of golfers here.
For
- Exceptional stability and forgiveness
- Very tight dispersion
- Powerful feel and ball speed
Against
- The stretched out footprint may not appeal to all
TaylorMade Qi10 Max Driver
With a vastly different head shape to the TaylorMade norm and exceptional levels of forgiveness, the Qi10 driver could be a real market disruptor. Incredibly easy to launch and with impressive stability, this driver will hold a lot of appeal to many golfers.
For
- Massively stable at impact
- Very easy to launch
- New head shape is excellent
Against
- Not as draw biased as some in this category
Ping G430 Max 10K vs TaylorMade Qi10 Max Driver: Read Our Head-To-Head Verdict
The launch of a new series of TaylorMade drivers is one of the most hotly anticipated events in a gear writer’s calendar. It feels like the whole world is waiting to see if TaylorMade has yet again produced one of the best golf drivers in the game.
