Here’s what Tiger Woods said about his TaylorMade Qi10 LS driver: “This [TaylorMade Qi10 LS] driver is very aesthetically pleasing to me because I always like a very straight and clean topline. It makes it easier to line up your shots. I love the traditional pear shape and this is the shape I’ve always wanted in my driver.
I know there’s a difference between a red face and a blue face.
However, I think the top line is the more attractive part of the driver.

More compression, less off-line. I don’t spray the ball too hard, but it certainly hits a little hotter. TaylorMade tested by Tiger Woods What do we know about the Qi10 LS driver?
