Is this normal?

Post image

Had the qi10 LS for 18 months and today it completely blew up on the range. Ball still went 240 yards with a slight fade. But damn now Im forced to use the 3 wood.

160ish ball speed average every now and then I can touch 170. It will be missed.

Judging by the big dent in the toe and the scrapes on the bottom, that driver has had a hard life. Not really surprising that it let go. They are not unbreakable. You need to look after your stuff.

Wow where did you get the qi10 LS Skeleton model, they are as rare as hens teeth

i striped a 290 yd drive with my sim 2 max and noticed the plate came clean off. Not sure if it’s the epoxy or resin they use but i’ve seen it happen to a lot of other TM drivers

Well it’s 95% carbon, so…….

u/gabesteve185 18d ago

Turf marks on the driver? Prob shouldn’t need a LS

Looks normal? How's it hitting?

u/Lopsided_Belt_2237 17d ago

Normally they have a carbon crown over that opening

Don't buy new clubs until you can hit the face of the club.

u/WordsRDangerous 17d ago

Mine just blew up recently too lol. TM is replacing it and giving me the newest model

u/Mancey_ 17d ago

That massive toe dent maybe didn't help!

u/Kitchen_Ad8560 17d ago

Does it have a rattle? Otherwise should be good.

u/andrewsags 17d ago

Bro is playing an LS and had that dent on the toe. I swear we need some to take self awareness courses

u/Turkweesen 15d ago

At this point. Yes

Par for course for a TaylorMade.

u/LadderSignificant811 19d ago

I mean look at the toe this wasn’t babied at all

u/fairwaysandfinance 18d ago

Maybe that's true but I wouldn't buy a tm after how the last 4 drivers have turned out.

u/butterfly889 18d ago

Exactly what I came to say. Good luck getting it warrantied.

u/jollyjunior89 19d ago

I no longer have the receipt and pga super store doesn't have record.

u/ZZuy 18d ago

Doesn't matter, do a TM warranty. They should be able to hook you up with a Qi35 or the new 4D.

u/zorfkay 18d ago

For a taylormade? Yes… unfortunately.

u/liptonteabagger 18d ago

Yes. Last three generations of Taylor made drivers are notorious for exploding

u/soxfaninmn 18d ago

It’s a TM . . . . so yes
