Korda’s review: “Not many people are playing with the Qi10 Max. It’s a bit big, and what I like about the head is the face. I don’t really like the red face (of the Stealth 2), but I like the way it looks when I stand on it, It looks like a club and I like the alignment lines on the top too.

“I feel like when I put it down, I know I'm aiming it right and that face doesn't just pop out in front of me. So I feel really comfortable with that. I'm a draw-biased player, so I like to watch to a draw. My tendency is to jerk forward a little bit, and obviously if you jerk forward, your hand moves forward and you start hitting the ball with your heel. So what I noticed on the Qi10 Max is, The dispersion of heel offset is less pronounced than before.
