Which to choose
The biggest difference is adjustability. The 2024 Qi10 LS has a sliding front weight that sets draw or fade bias and fine-tunes spin. The 2026 Qi4D LS has only two weights that move front to back, with no heel-toe adjustment. The reviews also describe forgiveness differently. Testers call the Qi10 LS unusually forgiving for a low-spin head, but they say heel and toe misses on the Qi4D LS lose noticeable speed and carry.
The Qi4D LS was the lowest-spinning head in its range. Its total distance was at or near the top, often thanks to extra roll. The Qi10 LS gives a penetrating mid-to-low flight that holds up in wind. Both are 460cc with carbon faces, a 54° lie and a 45.75-inch length.
Choose the Qi10 LS Driver if…
you want a low-spin head that holds its speed better on toe and heel strikes, plus a sliding weight to set draw or fade bias.
Choose the Qi4D LS Driver if…
you're a consistent ball-striker who spins the ball too much and wants very low spin and long total distance with plenty of roll, and you don't need heel-toe weight adjustment.
