TaylorMade Qi10 Fairway Woods
Just like the Qi10 drivers, the Qi10 woods and hybrids have been refined and tuned to better fit the intended player for each model. The standard model remains, but there has also been a change in vocabulary. The plus or + model is now called the Qi10 Tour, and the HD is now called the Qi10 Max.
One of the most noticeable design enhancements to the fairway woods is the new infinity carbon crown. This new crown design covers almost the entire total surface on the top of the fairway woods — minus a small area near the hosel — an effort that saves mass throughout the head. With the extra mass, TaylorMade engineers were able to add some juice to the rest of the head, considerably improving performance.
Other proven TaylorMade technologies include an adjustable loft sleeve (in the tour models), a thru-slot speed pocket for optimized ball speeds on lower face strikes, the V-steel sole for better turf interaction, and “twist face” bulge and roll to help off-center shots deliver a centered ball flight.
The now familiar moveable 50g front-to-back weight returns in the new Qi10 Tour fairway, but the design has been drastically altered to make the weight track 18 percent shallower, helping to lower the center of gravity to both raise the forgiveness while also keeping spin rates lower.
