Which to choose

The biggest difference is how much help each gives. The standard Qi10 Fairway is built around forgiveness: off-centre hits tend to hold their start line and lose little speed. The Qi10 Tour is a compact, player-oriented head. Testers split on its forgiveness, and some say it rewards centred contact. The Tour's 15° head measures 170cc, against 195cc for the standard model, and it has a titanium face instead of maraging steel.

Adjustability separates them too. The Tour has a sliding sole weight for tuning launch and spin, and its flight is mostly described as low-spin and penetrating. The standard Qi10 has a fixed hosel, and testers describe its launch as anything from easy to slightly lower.

Choose the Qi10 Fairway if…

you're a mid-handicapper who wants a forgiving fairway wood that keeps off-centre hits on line, in lofts from 3-wood to 9-wood.

Choose the Qi10 Tour Fairway if…

you're a low-handicap or faster-swinging player (roughly 95 mph and up with the driver) who shapes shots and wants to tune launch and spin with a sliding weight.

The standard Qi10 Fairway. Testers praise how it holds its start line on mishits. Opinions on the Tour are split, and some call it less forgiving than standard models.
Which one can I adjust?
Only the Qi10 Tour, which has a sliding sole weight: forward gives the lowest flight, back adds height and spin. The standard Qi10 has a fixed hosel with no loft or lie adjustment.
How do the heads compare in size?
In 15° form the Qi10 is 195cc with a 58.5° lie, and the Tour is a more compact 170cc with a 57° lie. Both are 43.25 inches long.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Forgiveness: the Standard Qi10 Is the Safer Bet

Two reviewers rated the standard Qi10 Fairway well for forgiveness. One named it the most forgiving flagship fairway wood of 2024 because misses kept a good start line, and another found off-centre strikes fairly forgiving. A third reviewer was less sure: the face felt stable, but he doubted its overall forgiveness, especially off the deck. Opinions on the Qi10 Tour were split. Two reviewers said the back weight setting adds forgiveness. One said it holds ball speed on mishits even with the weight forward. Two other sources said it puts low spin ahead of forgiveness, or punishes misses more than the Qi10 Max. The standard head gets the more consistent praise for forgiveness, while the Tour's verdicts depend on the weight setting and the reviewer.

Launch and Spin: the Tour Lets You Tune Flight

Reviewers described the standard Qi10's launch in different ways. One found it easy to get airborne from the fairway, one called it mid-high with mid-low spin, and a testing video called the flight mid, neither very high nor very low. Another reviewer felt it launched somewhat lower than a comparison club. For the Tour, reviewers agreed that flight changes with the sliding weight: forward gives lower launch and lower spin, back gives higher launch and a little more spin. In one testing video it first flew high and felt balloony, then settled into a better window after adjustment. The standard head's flight is fixed and was described anywhere from slightly low to mid-high, while the Tour's changes with the weight position.

Looks at Address: Compact Tour, Bigger Standard

The 15° standard Qi10 measures 195cc, and reviewers disagreed about how it looks. One felt the large, stretched-back head sits tall and inspires less confidence. Two others liked its look: one praised the premium black gloss and classic shape but disliked a contrasting strip on top of the face, and the other liked the clean styling and alignment aid. The 170cc Tour got positive comments from every reviewer who mentioned looks. They called it compact and well proportioned, with a shallower face than the standard model, and one testing video called it more luxurious than its predecessor. One reviewer noted that its matte carbon crown cuts glare. The Tour's looks were praised throughout, while the standard model drew mixed reactions.

Feel and Sound: Both Solid, Tour Louder

Two of three reviewers liked how the standard Qi10 feels. One called it smooth and stable with a satisfying, crisp crack, and another found it easy and unintimidating to hit off the deck. A third reviewer found the head heavier in the swing than expected but solid at impact, and thought the sound unremarkable. The Tour was described as solid, firm and responsive, with useful feedback on slight mishits. One reviewer added that its feel changes with weight placement. Its sound was called a sharp, slightly louder-than-average crack, and also a deep, powerful one. One testing video said it sounds less muted, closer to a titanium fairway wood. The Tour's sound got more attention and more praise, while the standard model's sound split opinion.

Shot Shape and Adjustability: Tour Wins

The standard Qi10 has a fixed hosel, and reviewers disagreed on whether that matters. One testing video called it poor at this price, while another reviewer said it was not a drawback given the weight distribution benefit. No clear draw or fade bias was reported, though one reviewer saw it as more workable than the Max. On the Tour, one source listed the bias as neutral. One testing video found it clearly more fade-biased than the Stealth 2 Plus, with less of a left miss, and another found controlled fades, draws and low shots easy. The same first video noted that the sliding weight has fewer stop positions than before. The Tour gives you more control over shape and flight, while the standard model leaves less to adjust.
