Which to choose

The biggest difference is forgiveness. Testers mostly agree that the Qi10 LS is unusually forgiving for a low-spin head, holding ball speed on toe and heel strikes better than earlier LS models. The Stealth 2 Plus is the least forgiving head in the Stealth 2 line-up. In exchange, testers credit it with very high ball speed and strong distance. Opinions on the Qi10 LS's distance are split.

Both launch low to mid with low spin, and one tester found the Qi10 LS slightly spinnier than the Stealth 2 Plus. The Stealth 2 Plus feels solid and powerful, while the Qi10 LS sounds more muted. Their published specs match: 460cc heads, a 10.5° loft, a 54° lie and a length of 45.75 inches.

Choose the Stealth 2 Plus Driver if…

you're a fast swinger who already launches the ball high and wants maximum ball speed and distance with a powerful feel, and you're happy to give up some forgiveness for it.

Choose the Qi10 LS Driver if…

you're a low-handicap player swinging around 105 mph or faster who wants a low-spin, wind-cheating flight but with more help on off-centre strikes and a compact, classic look at address.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Forgiveness: The Qi10 LS Is Kinder on Mishits

Reviewers were split on the Stealth 2 Plus. Two reviewers called it less forgiving than the standard Stealth 2, and one named it the least forgiving head in the range. One of them still found it better than expected and an improvement on the previous year's model. In testing videos it was said to add forgiveness over its predecessor, and one tester noted a larger effective sweet spot toward the heel. Most sources praised the Qi10 LS on this point. One reviewer said off-centre hits performed better than with any low-spin head they had used. One video said it is improved over earlier LS models but still less forgiving than game-improvement drivers. The Qi10 LS gets more consistent praise for mishits.

Launch and Spin: Both Low, Stealth More Varied

For the Stealth 2 Plus, launch verdicts ranged from the lowest of any driver in one robot test to mid launch and to a neutral flight. Spin reports were mixed too. Several sources called it low, one tester found it inconsistent from shot to shot, and one reviewer welcomed it as spinnier than the standard Stealth 2. In one video it spun too much until it was fitted. The Qi10 LS was described as mid-to-low launching and lower than the standard Qi10, with a penetrating, wind-stable flight. One video called its spin very low and consistent. One reviewer found it about level with the Qi10 Max. Reports on the Qi10 LS's flight vary less between sources.

Feel and Sound: More Feedback From the Stealth

Several reviewers described the Stealth 2 Plus as solid at impact. One said the carbon face feels close to titanium without the sting of a titanium mishit. Descriptions of its sound ranged from bright and powerful to quiet or muted but solid. One reviewer said off-centre strikes sound duller, which made contact easy to locate. For the Qi10 LS, two reviewers called centre strikes solid. Another found that toe and heel hits barely register through the hands. Only one reviewer described its sound, calling it muted and low-volume; the other four sources did not cover it. The Stealth 2 Plus has more detailed reports on feel and sound, including clearer feedback on strike location.

Adjustability: Sliding Weights on Both Heads

Both heads use a sliding sole weight. On the Stealth 2 Plus, one video called the 15-gram weight and changeable shaft a source of many fitting options. One tester said moving the weight toward the heel reduced feel. Shot-shape reports varied: one reviewer saw a straighter, less left-biased flight with some wide misses, while another rated it neutral to slightly fade-biased with very tight dispersion. For the Qi10 LS, several sources said the front weight can be set for draw or fade. One video gave its mass as 18 g. One reviewer noted that a draw setting can counter a slice. Left in the centre, it showed no bias in one video. The Qi10 LS's weight is described more clearly as a tool for shot shape.
