Head to head

Callaway Quantum Max vs TaylorMade Qi4D Max driver

Choose the Qi4D Max if you want the more forgiving of the two.

Choose the Quantum Max if you strike it fairly well and want a neutral head you can set toward a draw.

Quantum Max $649.99Qi4D Max $649.99, each with its shop and checked date

Both are current 460cc heads in 9°, 10.5° and 12° in either hand, each with movable weight and an adjustable hosel. The Qi4D Max is TaylorMade's most forgiving Qi4D head: a carbon face curved to keep heel and toe strikes nearer the line, two weights of 13 and 4 grams, and a 4° loft sleeve; it scores 4 of 5. The Quantum Max is Callaway's neutral head for a wide range of players, with a 10-gram weight that moves between neutral and draw; Callaway ties maximum forgiveness to the Quantum Max D, so the Max scores 3. Both come in a senior flex: the Qi4D Max in senior, the Quantum Max in Callaway's R2 (Light), which its buying guide calls senior.
