2024 TaylorMade

[Golfrnut]

I would be less focused on distance and more focused on the lack off efficiency and the spin being sub 2K. Neither of those are good things.

Mine Qi10LS 10.5 arrived yesterday. I ordered it on Monday so I was surprised it got delivered this quick.

I have both 9° S+ and S2+ with Diamana 60g TX shaft.

With Qi10LS and Tour Ad VF 6s,

I was getting a few more ball speed and the swing felt a lot smoother. (I try to compare it again with same shaft)

I currently have right wrist injury so my SS is around 103-105mph, but I was able to hit >285 with Qi10LS vs 270-280 with Stealth+ and Stealth2+. It definitely flies higher in the air with similar backspin compared to S+/S2+.

I like my blackout S+/S2+ drivers but this one is definitely staying in the bag. I didn't notice the blue face from the address.

 

 

What made you go up in loft?

I wanted the ball to have more airtime with my current ball speed and backspin. I can't really work on my swing with injuries I currently have, so I'm trying to maximize what I can with the equipment. I was worried about going up in loft but even at 10.5 the back spin stayed relatively close to when I had 9° with 1 or 2 clicks down.

Does anyone know if/when the new Ventus Blue will be available as a custom option through TM? Looks like only the TR and “previous” version currently available.   

[Jsp3316]

any updated iron releases for this year?

Fully agree, it's not as pictured, but I love it based on the 'real' photos I've seen:

Interested to see if they end up doing something in between MC and 770

There’s been rumors for a while now that there’s a new P760 coming. 

[Mookie91]

Really hoping some of these custom headcovers make it BST

My 2 year old stealth+ face popped out a month ago or so. I did the warranty deal on the TM site just to see, figuring I would be denied but they got back with me the same day sending a new head. I had an 8* stealth+ and requested a 9* head to be sent. Pretty good customer service right there.

I've only had good experiences with TM customer service.

Very reliable source from TM has told me that they are keeping to their recent product cycle and we should see a 770 replacement coming in Aug/Sept. This would make sense as there's a copper 770 coming out in April.

Did you send the old one back? Also have a warranty claim with them but I purchased at a big box store and they are sending me a replacement.

Yeah sending mine back. Had to give em a credit card on file and they will charge if I don’t. They can have that cracked face back! It took a beating for a couple seasons

They never asked me for a card to put on file. I have a previous purchase with them but I don’t think they can use that card as a placeholder.

What you mean? Not in a hurry, just giving my honest feedback and experiences that I’ve had with them! 

[dmeeksDC]

Three rounds in, the Qi10 continues to be very impressive. Standard head, 9 degree, TPT Power series 17 LO shaft (also a serious performer!). It’s a dream to have a driver this easy to hit long and straight. There is nothing I don’t like about it. Sounds great, looks great, makes the most of misses, really gets the ball out there when I middle it. Very fast face that feels better than Stealth IMO. I haven’t even changed the hosel settings. 
 

First TaylorMade driver I have put in the bag since the days of the bubble shaft. It has just clicked with me big time. I figured it would have the long ball — and it does — but I did not expect it to be such a fairway finder. I almost want to tell all my friends it’s not very good and I hate it so that maybe they won’t buy one. But my tee shots would give me away.

You must just have insane club head and ball speed.  I’m in the upper 160’s low 170’s and have zero issues with Qi10, and zero issue with Stealth Plus 2..

... About the only thing I can add to that is the slightly high and toe miss goes as long as a center hit. Since that is my miss, the standard Qi10 has just been awesome for me. And you guys know the drill, when something works so well with your miss, it gives you the confidence to swing freely and that limits the miss. I am old school and loved the feel/sound of the Stealth2 that is very dense and muted but I have no complaints about the Qi10 and think Taylor Made nailed it with a compromise in feel and sound that isn't too muted or too explosive and it should appeal to almost everyone.

Are you guys playing the standard head?

... Yup, dmeeks mentioned he played the standard head in his post and I responded to that post. I'll edit to clear up any confusion.
