Which to choose

The biggest difference is spin and who each head is built for. The Qi10 LS is TaylorMade's low-spin model for fast swingers, with a compact, classic head and a mid-to-low, penetrating flight that holds up in wind. The standard Qi10 spins a little more, and testers reported launch anywhere from slightly low to mid-high.

Shot shaping also differs. The LS has a sliding front weight that sets draw or fade bias and fine-tunes spin. The Qi10's misses tended to go right and rarely left, which suits players who want to avoid the left side. Both have a 460cc head and measure 45.75 inches at 10.5°, but the Qi10's lie is more upright (56° vs 54°). Testers were split on distance gains for both.

Choose the Qi10 Driver if…

you're a mid-to-low handicapper who wants a mix of forgiveness and control, especially if you fade the ball or want a driver that rarely misses left.

Choose the Qi10 LS Driver if…

you're a low-handicap player swinging around 105 mph or faster and want low spin, a penetrating flight and a sliding weight to adjust draw or fade bias.

Which one spins less?
The Qi10 LS. It is TaylorMade's low-spin head, and testers found the standard Qi10 spins a bit more than the LS.
Which is better for avoiding a miss to the left?
The standard Qi10. Several testers said its misses tended to go right and rarely went left. The LS has a sliding front weight that lets you set draw or fade bias instead.
