PXG Black Ops 0311 Driver
The Black Ops is a really enjoyable driver to use. The acoustic and feel in particular are right out of the top drawer, as is the new aesthetic with its multi-material glossy crown. I found it a little light on ball speed compared to some other models I have tested in 2024 but the overall performance is excellent.
For
- I really like the modern visual
- The sound and feel are excellent
- Really good all rounder
Against
- A little light on ball speed versus some competitors
Despite the Qi10 Max being the headline product of this family, the Qi10 might be my favorite driver of them all. It combines the best bits of both the Max and LS models for me to create an exceptional all-round performer.
For
- New rounded head shape is excellent
- Extremely forgiving at this spin level
- Will appeal to a broad spectrum
Against
- Only loft adjustability – no moveable weights

With the TaylorMade Qi10, the visual is much improved from its predecessor the Stealth 2. Taylormade has done away with the red face we have grown accustomed to, which always somewhat divided opinion.
