Staff writer and PGA Pro Joe Ferguson hits the R7 Quad up against the new Qi10 LS driver to see how the performance compares.

with this fade/draw, new club not even close to the old one, as we can see.
1:56 Is it an optical illusion or did the shaft flex big time as you were teeing the ball? ???????? Kidding aside, I'm curious how forgiving a 20-yr-old driver is compared to today's high-MOI drivers.
"A very similar amount of curvature" 6 .50……didn't look it. Qi10 was noticeably less dramatic
