so everything is sticking with all of them
I recently got rid of the QI 10, for me the AI smoke is in a different class…. So much better in all areas
Id love to know with this dude swing speed, how they hold up on off centre hits. My sim2 has a flat spot high toe. My M1 had the same problem. I swing 125-130 and im worried about the Qi10 Face. Kind of tempted to switch to Callaway.
Thank you for the breakdown!!
This guy doesn't return any messages😅😅 why would anybody like And subscribe😅😅
New marketing no new performance
James, this is an extremely helpful review, thanks so much for the detailed comparisons. Another reviewer mentioned that the TaylorMade Qi10 Max had a shorter overall shaft length due to the smaller hosel. Do you recommend adding length to the shaft when custom ordering or no need?
Jim, are you going to test the Cobra Dark Speed ? You might want to get on the band wagon. Kyle getting faster and you can not allow him to have that kind of advantage in the Dark Speed without gaining it as well. Cheers Mate
Anyone else notice he's using a ventus black for the TM and a Diamana for the Callaway. Use the same shafts for all the heads.
Thought Andy Murray had switched sports😉
Hitting bombs 💣
This review is soooooo skewed. This guy is like beyond tour avg ball speed and swing speeds.
Great to see someone with similar swing speed. I completely relate. What shaft do you use?
These 110 mph swing speed reviews are rough.
Me 124 swing with ventus black 7x qi10 LS
One hit with each club? That’s not even a driver test. And if you have Miss hits you need to hit likely at least a half a dozen balls with each club to try and get a centre here for an accurate number. And you’re not an average golfer with average swing speed so this whole test is bogus. Waste of time
Have you considered using Titleist’s RCT balls? That way Trackman would give you actual spin numbers, rather than italicized estimates.
Did you use the same shaft flex and head lift for each driver head?if so what was the spec?
Thanks. Well done and interesting. A "cheeky wee" 340 yard drive! I wish. Must be all of the Irn Bru and fish suppers.
Great numbers with the QI 10 Max what loft did you have it in
I don't know if everyone knows but James is a top 10 world long drive guy. He's one of the fastest in the world. Beast.
You are not an average golfer. Sorry. Can’t relate. 🤷🏻
