Qi10 Fairway Woods - Any love?

[chasingbirds]

I had a great fitting experience with the fairways. Ended up in titleist, but can’t say I didn’t really enjoy hitting them. Much better than the stealth(s) in my opinion.

Just added the stand 7 wood and the tour 5 wood turned down to the bag. Some how I’m back to TM in the top of the bag and Mizzy in the middle.

42 of them are not sponsored by TM and only 2 of them are playing the Sim Ti.

 

What you use means jack to the average golfer. What the best golfers in the world with the most to gain by playing the best equipment in the world choose to play is absolutely more relevant than what you play.

 

The average 3 wood swing speed on the LPGA tour is 90 mph and it carries 195 yards. How relevant is that to the average WRXr?

 

Relevant to us old guys!

Many of these guys are using the core/max version, not the LS, which indicates that TM is making very good fairway woods for players with very different needs and swings.

Don’t be fooled into thinking you should be using certain equipment because of your age, speed, etc. Old guys can use low spin equipment too. 👇
 

Equipment isn’t designed for a specific age range. It’s designed to address a specific need and you’d be surprised how many pros have similar needs to you. Try everything and good luck.

I am gaming the Qi10 Tour 3 wood and very pleased.  Off the deck, off the tee.  Great combo of forgiveness, distance and feel.  Love the adjustability

Could not agree more.  Age is a number

That’s faster and longer than the average WRX’r. 😂

TaylorMade is golf’s Stepfather. “You hate him but you will respect him.” And that respect comes from the fact that they’ve always made the best fairway woods.

Titleist has surpassed them for me.

If by always, you mean that the Sim2 Ti is the GOAT, than yes, always

Sim2 Ti.  Goated

 

Did not like the feel or head shape of either Qi10.  Much preferred Smoke TD, Max in looks, feel and performance.

I have a Qi10 Tour 5W that I moved the weight all way to the back. It is my only fairway metal and I really enjoy it. Launches good off the ground, and is playable from the rough. I always struggle with a 3W, so the shorter shaft of the 5W and the compact shape have really helped me out.

I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.
 

During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor) 

core 3w is elite. chopped it down to 42.5 and things a launcher

Everyone I know that has hit that Smoke TD has loved it.  I don't want to go hit it because I'm afraid y'all are correct lol
