TaylorMade Qi10 Max Driver

Every loft in both hands is rarer than it sounds, and it is the quiet advantage the Max holds over the other Qi10 drivers. All three heads are built right and left, the 9, the 10.5 and the 12, where the standard Qi10 stops short of a left-handed 12 and the LS never offered one at 8. Forgiveness is the stated brief, and a sealed rear weight is how it gets there.

Because that weight cannot move, the sole offers no fitting at all, which puts the entire job on a 4 degree hosel sleeve. Speeder NX TCS and Diamana T+ cover senior to X-stiff between them. Underneath, it is the same carbon-faced 460cc construction the family shares, a titanium frame carrying an almost entirely carbon crown. Golfers who want to dial in a bias should be looking at the LS.
