Scottie Scheffler dominated the field at the 2024 Masters with a familiar weapon: his driver.
Scheffler didn’t switch to TaylorMade’s new Qi10 driver until the WM Phoneix Open, but when he did, everything clicked instantly for the World No. 1.
At Augusta National this past week, on his way to a four-stroke victory and his second green jacket, Scheffler was No. 2 in the field in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee, finding 79 percent of his fairways while averaging more than 305 yards a pop.
Those numbers, combined with his typically stellar approach and wedge play (14th and 1st last week, respectively, according to DataGolf) helped Scheffler slip on the green jacket once again.
The Qi10, or core model, is TaylorMade’s middle-of-the-road offering of it’s 2024 Qi10 driver lineup in terms of launch and spin. In GOLF’s ClubTest robo-testing, the Qi10 had one of the best showings for high-toe misses, one of the more common misses on the driver face. High-toe misses actually gained distance, to the tune of 2.2 yards when tested on a 10.5˚ head.
The Qi10 also produced lower launch and spin numbers than the previous generation Stealth 2, what Scheffler started the year with. Launch went from 10.6 degrees (Stealth 2) to 9.5 degrees (Qi10), while spin dipped from 2,836 RPMs (Stealth 2) to 2,775 RPMs (Qi10).
That’s the type of performance that helped Scheffler deliver bomb after bomb off the tee at Augusta. Think you might want to take after Scheffler and try the Qi10 (or it’s sister models, the Qi10 LS and Qi10 Max) head on over to Fairway Jockey to get yours today.
