Choose the Qi4D if you want weights to set the flight, an 8°, a left-handed 12° or a ladies flex.
Choose the Qi10 for the head TaylorMade rated for forgiveness, if it costs you less, new or used, in your loft and hand.
Qi10 $399.98 · Qi4D $649.99, each with its shop and checked date
The two score alike here, 3 of 5, and the Qi4D is the Qi10's successor two generations on. TaylorMade rated the Qi10 higher for forgiveness on its chart, a step below the Qi10 Max, and gives the Qi4D no forgiveness rating: it sells the Qi4D on ball speed, a face whose roll steadies spin on high and low strikes, and four movable weights where the Qi10 has none. The Qi4D launches a little higher (mid-high against mid) with the same mid-low spin, and adds an 8°, a left-handed 12° and a ladies flex. Both are 460cc heads with a 4° loft sleeve, 45.75 inches long, with a lie of 56° to 60°.
TaylorMade's all-round driver of 2024, rated higher for forgiveness on its chart, a step below the Qi10 Max, and aimed at handicaps of 0 to 20: a carbon crown over almost all of the top and a carbon face, in 9°, 10.5° or 12°.
TaylorMade's Qi4D head for mid-low spin, between the ultra-low-spin LS and the forgiving Max: a carbon Twist Face with a new curve that evens out spin from high and low strikes, four moveable weights and a loft sleeve, in 8°, 9°, 10.5° or 12°.

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 Qi4D Max is the more forgiving: TaylorMade's Max-shaped head, sold for maximum forgiveness, rated for a high launch and mid spin, with two moveable weights (13 and 4 grams) and a forged aluminium collar.
Each maker rated its driver a step below its Max head of that year for forgiveness (Cobra high against the DARKSPEED MAX's extreme, TaylorMade higher against the Qi10 Max's highest), so both score 3 of 5 here.
