Choose it if
- You want some help on mishits, short of the maker's most forgiving head.
- You need a left-handed club or a senior flex: both were stock builds.
- You want to spend less: $399.98 is in the cheapest third of the 28 we price.
Choose something else if
- For a left-handed 12°, choose another driver: the left-handed Qi10 came in 9° and 10.5° only.

What changed in the Qi4D
Both are 460cc with a carbon Twist Face and a 4° loft sleeve, 45.75 inches long as standard. The Qi10, aimed at handicaps of 0 to 20 on TaylorMade's chart and rated higher for forgiveness, a step below the Qi10 Max, has a carbon crown over almost all of the top and no moveable weight described; its 12° was right-handed only. The Qi4D, two generations on, has four moveable weights and a new face curve, adds an 8°, and comes left-handed in 12° too; its chart gives no forgiveness rating.
PGA TOUR Superstore still sells the Qi10 new for well under the Qi4D's price, and used ones cost less again. Choose the Qi10 for TaylorMade's all-round head for less; choose the Qi4D to tune the flight with its weights.

How the 3.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what TaylorMade publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 3 | A game improvement driver head, not the most forgiving kind TaylorMade made. |
| Forgiveness score | 3.0 | of 5 |
Draw help, lofts, flex and hand don't change the score. They decide which version fits you, and the picks for a slice or a slow swing use them.
