Qi10 $399.98Qi10 Max $399.98, each with its shop and checked date

The Qi10 Max is the more forgiving: TaylorMade rated it highest for forgiveness of its Qi10 drivers and the Qi10 higher, and sold the Max on its 10K moment of inertia, in a Max-shaped head stretched from front to back against the Qi10's Traditional+ shape. The Max launches a little higher with a little more spin (mid-high and mid, against mid and mid-low), comes in a left-handed 12° and a ladies flex, and is 45.5 inches long as standard against 45.75; TaylorMade aimed the Qi10 at handicaps of 0 to 20 and the Max at 0 to 30+. Both are 460cc with a carbon crown and a carbon face.
