Which to choose

The biggest difference is what each head prioritises. The 2022 Stealth is built around forgiveness. Testers praised how off-centre strikes kept their ball speed and line, and how tight its dispersion stayed. Its launch is higher than the Stealth Plus, so it helps get the ball airborne. The 2024 Qi10 aims to blend forgiveness with speed. Testers found it easy to hit fairways with, and several noted that its misses went right and rarely went left.

On paper the two are almost identical: both have a 460cc head, 10.5° loft, 56° lie and a 45.75-inch length. Both have a solid feel and a clean dark look. The Stealth has a matte-black crown, while the Qi10 pairs a black crown with a subdued blue face. Testers rated the Stealth's distance gain over its predecessor as modest, and they were split on whether the Qi10 adds distance.

Choose the Stealth Driver if…

you're an average to mid-handicap golfer who wants forgiveness on off-centre strikes, tight dispersion and some extra launch, and you don't need adjustable weighting.

Choose the Qi10 Driver if…

you're a mid-to-low handicapper who wants a blend of forgiveness and control, especially if you fade the ball or want to keep misses from going left.

Common questions

Which is more forgiving?
Reviewers named forgiveness as the Stealth's main selling point, citing tight dispersion and off-centre strikes that held their line. The Qi10 also holds ball speed well on mishits, but it is pitched as a blend of forgiveness and speed for mid-to-low handicappers.
Which one helps avoid a miss to the left?
The Qi10. More than one tester said its misses tended to go right and rarely went left. The Stealth reviews don't mention a miss direction.
Which gives better feedback on mishits?
Neither is strong here. Testers found that a poor strike on the Qi10 gives little feedback, and they were split on the Stealth: one found mishits easy to identify, while another felt most strikes felt the same.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Forgiveness: Both Hold Up on Mishits

Several reviewers rated the Stealth highly here. They said it was more forgiving than the Stealth Plus because of its rear weighting and high-MOI design, and that off-centre and low-face strikes still produced strong ball speed. In testing videos, its dispersion was described as very tight and poor strikes held their line. Opinions on the Qi10 were mostly positive. Reviewers said mishits, including heel and low strikes, kept their ball speed, and one called it a fairway finder. One reviewer, though, found it less forgiving than the Qi10 Max, with some shots leaking out. Both earned praise, but the Stealth's forgiveness ratings were more consistent across sources.

Launch and Spin: Judged Against Siblings

Two reviewers said the Stealth launched higher than the Stealth Plus, and two testers felt the flight was a little high for their taste. Opinions on its spin were split. One reviewer said it seemed low, another said it stayed low despite the higher launch, a third called it mid-range, and one saw slightly more spin than the Plus. For the Qi10, one reviewer described a slightly mid-to-high launch and another found the peak height a bit high. A third found the flight slightly lower than expected. Its spin was called the highest in the Qi10 range and a little higher than the LS. Each model was judged only against its own siblings, so reviewers never compared the two directly on launch or spin.

Feel and Sound: Both Solid, Stealth Splits Views

Reviewers described the Stealth's feel as solid, powerful and slightly damp, and one tester compared it to persimmon. One reviewer said off-centre hits were easy to tell apart, while another said small mishits were hard to sense. Opinions on its sound were split. One reviewer found it quieter than most drivers, while others called it bright, powerful and surprisingly close to a titanium head. The Qi10 was described as stable, solid and easy to hit, and one tester said he did not need to swing hard. Its sound was rated solid, clean and satisfying, though one reviewer said it gives little audible feedback on mishits. Both feel solid, but only the Stealth split opinion on feedback and sound.

Looks at Address: Red Face vs Blue Face

Reviewers liked the Stealth's matte-black crown and its subtle, barely visible branding. Its red carbon face was described as eye-catching and helpful for framing the ball. One reviewer noted that the bright red may divide opinion, and another said the hexagon face pattern makes a striking look. The Qi10 also scored well on looks. Reviewers praised its dark blue face, glossy black crown and elegant, conservative styling, and one said the light grey top edge helps with alignment. One tester felt the larger head suited his eye. Both have clean dark crowns, but the Qi10's subdued blue face was seen as a calmer alternative to the Stealth's bold red.
