Which to choose
The biggest difference is forgiveness. Testers called the Qi10 LS unusually forgiving for a low-spin driver because it holds speed on toe and heel strikes. They called the Qi35 LS the least forgiving head in its range: poor contact, especially off the heel, costs noticeable speed and distance. In return, the Qi35 LS ranked among the longest drivers testers tried when the right golfer found the centre. Opinions on the Qi10 LS's distance were split.
Both have compact heads and a low-spin, penetrating flight that holds up in wind. The Qi10 LS's sliding front weight sets a draw or fade bias. Testers found the Qi35 LS neutral to slightly fade-leaning, and its weight can be moved toward the heel to encourage a draw. Both need careful fitting.
Choose the Qi10 LS Driver if…
you swing fast (around 105 mph and up) and want low spin and adjustable shot shape, but still want help keeping heel and toe misses in play.
Choose the Qi35 LS Driver if…
you're a low-handicap or scratch player who finds the centre consistently and will trade forgiveness for a lower-launching, lower-spinning flight than the other Qi35 heads, plus the distance testers saw from well-struck drives.
Common questions
- Which is more forgiving?
- The Qi10 LS. Testers found it unusually forgiving for a low-spin head, while the Qi35 LS is the least forgiving in its family and loses noticeable speed on heel and big off-centre misses.
- Which is longer?
- Testers ranked the Qi35 LS among the longest drivers they tried for faster swingers who strike it well. Opinions on the Qi10 LS's distance were split, and one tester found it no longer than the other Qi10 heads.
- Can either be set up for a draw?
- Yes. The Qi10 LS's sliding front weight sets a draw or fade bias. Some testers found the Qi35 LS neutral and one found it fade-leaning, but its movable weight can be shifted toward the heel to encourage a draw.
