Which to choose

The biggest difference is shot shape. The Stealth 2 HD is built with internal weighting that gives it a mild draw bias. That helps players fighting a slice, but it can send shots left for those who don't fade the ball. Reports on the Qi10 Max are mixed: one tester saw a clear draw bias, another a lingering left miss, and others noticed no bias at all.

Sound and distance also set them apart. The Stealth 2 HD sounds solid and pleasing, while the Qi10 Max is louder and a little thinner. Testers found the Stealth 2 HD no longer than their older fairway woods. Opinions on the Qi10 Max's distance are split, though some praised its long carry.

Choose the Stealth 2 HD Fairway if…

you fight a slice and want a fairway wood designed with a mild draw bias and a solid, pleasing sound, and you value launch and forgiveness over distance.

Choose the Qi10 Max Fairway if…

you want a high-launching, forgiving fairway wood without a clear built-in draw bias and a chance at more carry, and you don't mind a louder, thinner sound.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: Both Fly High

Reviewers found the Stealth 2 HD easy to get airborne. One reviewer said it cleared a significant false front that lower-launching clubs did not, and another said it stayed high even on off-centre hits. One tester saw more spin than with his old club, and the presenter felt this would help mid-handicappers. The Qi10 Max was also called naturally high and easy to launch. One reviewer said even thin strikes rose to a mid trajectory, but another felt the flight was sometimes too high and lost strength. Its spin was described as mid-to-high by one reviewer and consistent across the face by another. Both fly high, though one tester counted the Stealth 2 HD's higher launch as a drawback.

Forgiveness: Strong Marks for Both

One reviewer called the Stealth 2 HD extremely forgiving. Another reported tight dispersion, with his best and worst shots finishing close together. In testing videos its bigger head was seen as easier to hit under pressure, and one reviewer called it the pick for maximum forgiveness in its family. The Qi10 Max also scored well. One reviewer kept praising how steady ball speed stayed on mishits, and in one test video toe strikes held their line, though a heel strike lost some ball speed. One tester felt its sole helped from the deck and in wet lies. Both rate highly, and the Qi10 Max comments focus more on keeping ball speed up on mishits.

Feel and Sound: Stealth 2 HD Gets Warmer Words

Opinions on the Stealth 2 HD's feel are split. One reviewer called it effortless and a pleasure to keep hitting. Another found it solid and firm from the centre but harsh on toe and heel strikes. Its sound was praised as good, muted and lovely. On the Qi10 Max, one reviewer said it felt firmer and louder than he would like, though the feedback made solid strikes obvious. Another called it solid across the face, with a sound that was quick and snappy but louder than the standard Qi10. In one testing video the tester had nothing notable to say about feel. Reviewers liked the Stealth 2 HD's sound more, while both clubs got some comments about firmness.

Looks at Address: Two Big 200cc Heads

Both heads are listed at 200cc, with a 16° loft and a length of about 43.25 inches. Reviewers liked the Stealth 2 HD's black crown, its alignment line and the way it sits low and square. In testing videos it looked large, shallow and long. One tester said it gave him confidence, but another said it wasn't for him, and one reviewer found the low profile less reassuring off the tee. The Qi10 Max was described as large, flat-sitting and square, with an alignment aid that makes lining up easy. Another reviewer noted that it sits slightly toed-in. Both look big, and one reviewer preferred the Qi10 Max's all-carbon crown to the Stealth 2 HD's segmented one.
