The larger the volume, the higher the chance of winning…or so you say?
There are many different types of golfers in the world.
Some people change their gear every time I meet them at the golf course, while others have been using the same set for 10 years, and their scores can be pretty similar.
I’m not saying that either type is better or worse, but a public relations lady I know who works for a golf manufacturer once said this to me:
“I don’t want to say this too loudly, but it’s okay to replace your irons once every 10 years. But for drivers, check out the new models every year. It’s a field where companies are competing fiercely with their pride on the line, so there will always be some kind of evolution. Seriously, even if you just try them out, if you like them, it’s okay to switch to the new model.”

… This valuable advice stayed in my mind, but unfortunately, drivers these days are quite expensive. I have to consider my financial situation, and I can’t just buy a new one so easily.
However, for men, the second-hand market is still well developed, so it is relatively easy to trade in your old clubs and switch to new ones, or buy older models as new second-hand clubs. However, for women, the trade-in conditions are not so good, there are fewer clubs on the market, and the second-hand market itself is small to begin with.
But the driver is still important.
Again, there is a gender difference, but for women who don’t have great driving distance, it is difficult to recover if they miss a tee shot. I am not one of the women who can drive the ball as far as 140 yards, so I rarely hit the ball out of bounds, but if my tee shot is a bit far or I hook it into the back of the rough, I’m in danger of making a bogey.
So what do you look for in a driver?
In my case, it’s not distance but stability that matters.
It is unlikely that you can increase your current driving distance by a solid 20 yards just by relying on gear. I think it would be more feasible and more beneficial to reduce big mistakes on the tee shot. But that’s just my opinion.
That’s why I’ve been paying close attention to the Qi10 MAX driver since the product launch event.
He is a Gloire user to begin with, and has the impression that he has a good compatibility with TaylorMade drivers.
The theme is “the pursuit of kindness.” Isn’t that a wonderful pursuit?
To achieve this, they made the forgiveness, straightness, and head all the size of the regulation maximum, so in tennis terms, it’s like a Dekarake. (I wonder if they still call it Dekarake.)
In terms of human psychology, I feel that if the area you’re hitting is large, then of course it’s going to hit.
Another thing is that with golf clubs, if the head is large, you feel closer to the ball, which gives you a sense of security.
The problem is the carbon face.
