The TaylorMade Qi10 Max 16° 3 Wood is an exceptionally forgiving fairway wood engineered to deliver effortless launch, impressive distance and outstanding stability from both the tee and fairway. Featuring an oversized 200cc head, shallow face profile and strategically positioned weighting, the Qi10 Max is designed to make one of the most demanding clubs in the bag significantly easier to hit.
Built around TaylorMade's highest-MOI fairway wood design at the time of its introduction, the Qi10 Max combines an Infinity Carbon Crown, V Steel Sole, Twist Face Technology and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket to maximise forgiveness and preserve ball speed on imperfect strikes. Its slightly stronger launch assistance comes from a 16° loft, making it an excellent choice for golfers who struggle to generate sufficient height and carry distance with a conventional 15° 3 wood.
Maximum Forgiveness Fairway Wood
The Qi10 Max is specifically engineered for golfers who prioritise forgiveness and consistency over a compact, workable head shape.
Its oversized construction allows TaylorMade to distribute weight more effectively around the clubhead, increasing resistance to twisting when impact occurs away from the centre of the face.
This helps reduce the distance and directional penalties associated with mishits, making the Qi10 Max particularly appealing to golfers who find traditional fairway woods difficult to strike consistently.
Oversized 200cc Head
One of the most distinctive features of the Qi10 Max is its 200cc head volume.
Larger than many conventional fairway woods, this generous profile creates a substantial hitting area and provides a reassuring appearance behind the golf ball.
The additional head size also allows more mass to be positioned around the perimeter, supporting the high-MOI characteristics that define the Qi10 Max.
For golfers who prefer a confidence-inspiring fairway wood rather than a compact players' model, the oversized shape is a significant advantage.
Shallow Face Profile
The Qi10 Max combines its larger overall head with a shallow face design.
This helps position the centre of gravity lower within the clubhead, supporting higher launch and making it easier to get the ball airborne from the turf.
A shallow face is particularly beneficial when hitting a fairway wood from a tight lie, where the ball must be struck cleanly without the assistance of a tee.
The result is a more approachable 3 wood designed to inspire confidence in situations where conventional fairway woods can be challenging.
High-MOI Stability
At its introduction, the Qi10 Max represented TaylorMade's highest-MOI fairway wood design.
Moment of Inertia measures a clubhead's resistance to twisting when the golf ball is struck away from the centre.
By increasing MOI, TaylorMade helps the Qi10 Max remain more stable through impact, preserving a more consistent face orientation and reducing the severity of certain off-centre strikes.
This additional stability is especially valuable for golfers whose strike location varies throughout a round.
Higher-Launching 16° Loft
Unlike many traditional 3 woods that feature 15° of loft, the Qi10 Max 3 Wood has a standard loft of 16°.
The additional degree of loft is designed to help golfers launch the ball higher and generate more usable carry distance.
For players who struggle to achieve sufficient height with a conventional 3 wood, this can make a meaningful difference to overall performance.
The 16° configuration also provides a useful combination of strong distance and easier launch, making the Qi10 Max a versatile option at the top of the bag.
Infinity Carbon Crown
The Qi10 Max incorporates TaylorMade's advanced Infinity Carbon Crown, which extends across a substantial portion of the upper clubhead.
Using lightweight carbon in this area saves mass compared with a heavier conventional crown construction.
TaylorMade can then redistribute that weight lower and farther around the head, helping optimise the centre of gravity and increase forgiveness.
This construction plays a major role in the Qi10 Max's combination of high launch, stability and confidence-inspiring head size.
Low Centre of Gravity
The combination of lightweight crown construction, shallow face geometry and carefully positioned mass helps create a low centre of gravity.
This supports easier launch and helps golfers achieve the height required for effective carry distance.
A low CG is particularly beneficial in a fairway wood because golfers often need to generate launch from a ball sitting directly on the ground.
For moderate swing-speed players and golfers who naturally produce a lower trajectory, the Qi10 Max offers valuable assistance.
V Steel Sole Design
TaylorMade's proven V Steel Sole is incorporated into the Qi10 Max to improve turf interaction.
The distinctive sole geometry helps the clubhead move efficiently through the ground, reducing unnecessary resistance when striking the ball from the fairway.
This can help golfers maintain clubhead speed through impact while producing cleaner contact from a variety of lies.
The V Steel design also adds versatility when playing from light rough or less-than-perfect fairway positions.
Thru-Slot Speed Pocket
The Qi10 Max features TaylorMade's Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, positioned behind the lower section of the clubface.
This technology allows the lower portion of the face to flex more efficiently at impact, helping preserve ball speed when the golf ball is struck below the centre.
Low-face strikes are particularly common with fairway woods, especially when playing directly from the turf.
The Speed Pocket therefore provides an important forgiveness benefit, helping reduce the distance lost on imperfect contact.
Twist Face Technology
TaylorMade's Twist Face Technology uses corrective face curvature to improve performance on common off-centre strikes.
Golfers frequently contact fairway woods towards the high toe or low heel, which can produce unwanted changes in launch direction and spin.
Twist Face is designed to help counteract these tendencies, reducing the severity of certain mishits and promoting more consistent directional performance.
Combined with the Qi10 Max's high-MOI construction, it provides an additional layer of forgiveness across the hitting area.
Consistent Ball Speed Across the Face
The Qi10 Max is engineered to retain useful ball speed even when contact is less than perfect.
Its large head, stable weighting and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket work together to reduce performance losses on off-centre strikes.
This is particularly valuable for golfers who do not consistently find the middle of the clubface but still require dependable distance from their fairway wood.
Rather than relying exclusively on perfect contact, the Qi10 Max is designed to provide a wider margin for error.
Excellent Performance from the Fairway
The Qi10 Max is particularly well suited to golfers who struggle to hit a conventional 3 wood from the ground.
Its shallow face, low centre of gravity and additional loft help make launching the ball easier, while the V Steel Sole promotes efficient turf interaction.
The oversized head also provides additional confidence at address, encouraging golfers to make a committed swing rather than attempting to lift the ball into the air.
Together, these characteristics create a fairway wood designed to make long-range shots more manageable.
Forgiving Alternative from the Tee
Although designed to perform exceptionally well from the turf, the Qi10 Max is equally capable when used from a tee.
Its generous head size provides a reassuring appearance, while the high-MOI construction helps maintain stability on imperfect strikes.
The 16° loft encourages a higher launch, making it an excellent option for golfers who want a reliable alternative to their driver on narrower holes.
For players who prioritise keeping the ball in play, the Qi10 Max provides an appealing combination of distance and forgiveness.
Fixed Hosel Construction
The Qi10 Max uses a fixed hosel design, with no adjustable loft sleeve.
Its loft, face-angle configuration and head weighting are built around a dedicated high-launch, maximum-forgiveness specification.
This straightforward construction is particularly suitable for golfers who prefer a simple, dependable fairway wood without the need for additional adjustment.
Confidence-Inspiring Appearance
The oversized Qi10 Max presents a particularly reassuring profile behind the golf ball.
Its broad crown, shallow face and generous hitting area create the impression of a club designed to make solid contact easier.
For golfers who lack confidence with traditional compact fairway woods, the additional visual presence can encourage a more relaxed and committed swing.
Designed for Easier Launch & Greater Consistency
The TaylorMade Qi10 Max 16° 3 Wood is an excellent choice for golfers who want to make fairway wood play simpler and more consistent.
Its oversized 200cc head and high-MOI construction provide outstanding stability, while the Infinity Carbon Crown and low CG help produce the higher launch required for effective carry distance.
Combined with Twist Face, the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket and V Steel Sole, the Qi10 Max delivers a highly forgiving fairway wood designed to perform from both the tee and fairway.
