The Qi4D is, quite frankly, an outstanding driver. By blending optimised aerodynamics for impressive clubhead speed with excellent levels of stability, TaylorMade has created a genuinely winning combination. At address, the club presents a near-perfect balance between the brand’s classic pear shape and a more forgiveness-focused, high-MOI profile. There really isn’t much to dislike.
Pros
- Tangible clubhead speed gains
- Exceptional feel
- Stunningly good address profile
Cons
- Some may not deem this a visual upgrade
Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max Driver
The Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max is an excellent addition to the range, striking an ideal balance for better players seeking tour-level speed and low spin, but with a welcome increase in stability from a more confidence-inspiring profile at address. Add in genuine adjustability and blistering ball speeds, and it firmly establishes itself as a top-tier driver contender this year.
Pros
- Rare retail access to a “Tour Only” head shape
- Powerful, explosive feel
- Effective flight-tuning adjustability
Cons
- Head shape remains slightly triangular
This is the time of the year when many of the leading golf brands launch their new products, and the most eagerly anticipated new release for most people are drivers. I have tested all of the new big sticks to hit the market so far in 2026 and in my view there are two that stand out from the rest – the TaylorMade Qi4D, and the Callaway Quantum Triple Diamond Max.
TaylorMade and Callaway always feature prominently in any list of the best golf drivers but this year has seen the bar raised with these two truly outstanding products. Both of these tour calibre drivers actually suit quite a broad range of golfers, which is not always the case with tour models. They won’t suit those with slower swings, but anyone in the moderate-fast bracket who is looking to upgrade their driver this year should be looking at these two above all others.
In my indoor testing there was very little to choose between them so I took both models out onto the course and put them head-to-head to see which one would find its way into my bag for 2026, and more importantly, to weigh up the merits of both to give you a better idea of which one you should be looking at for your own game. Spoiler alert; it’s almost impossible to separate them!
