TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max and LS drivers were speed demons during robot testing.

Let’s be honest, we could all use more distance off the tee. Tracking down a driver with serious ball speed retention is one way to add meaningful yards to your game, particularly on shots that don’t come close to the middle of the face.
For the latest round of robotic testing insights from GOLF’s 2024 ClubTest, we analyzed the recorded ball speeds across all nine impact locations on the face — for 9- and 10.5-degree heads — to determine the fastest drivers at 95 mph.
If you’ve been following along with our recent insight articles, you’ll notice some overlap in the ball speed and consistency categories.
(How we calculate: Each driver is tested at 95 mph using a nine-point face mapping. We hit six balls from each location on the face — high, low and middle quadrants — and then came up with an average based on the 54 strikes.)
Check out the results below.
