Ever since Taylormade came up with the Rocketballz in 2012, our testing has seen TM fairways consistently at the top of speed and distance charts. That trend hasn’t changed in 2024. By posting our fastest ball speed and longest carry (two yards longer than the nearest competitor plus a full 11.3 yards further than our test average), we can confidently say the Qi10 is a beast! £215 per club

Even though the new fast-faced Mizuno Pro 245 gave up 4.8mph of ball speed and 13 yards of 7-iron carry compared to our longest players’ distance iron this year (Mizuno’s JPX923 Hot Metal Pro), our test pro was adamant this was the model he’d want in his bag. His thinking came down to loving the punchy feel of the Pro, and how its slightly weaker 7-iron loft gave him the hanging rather than boring ball flight he prefers.
