Tips for buying one used
- Get the right loft. Most newer golfers hit 10.5° or higher farther and straighter than 9°.
- Match the shaft flex to your swing. Too stiff costs distance and sends the ball right.
- Check the face and crown for cracks or deep sky marks. Light scuffs on the sole are normal.

What handicap is the Qi10 Max for?
Beginners and 20+ handicaps. Best with slow to moderate swings (most drives under 240 yards).
