Why This Is The Best-Selling Preowned Club Of 2025

under this head cover i have the most purchased secondhand club of 2025 and in this video i'm

going to show you what that is and we're going to have a look at why it's in so many people's hands

so i called up my friends at golf clubs for cash one of the leading retailers of pre-loved equipment

and i got them filtering through their database and their stats to find out which was the most

sold club and this one was way out in front well as you can probably see it's a driver

and there's your next clue i've been hitting a pretty big draw with it

and your final clue here is i have been hitting this thing pretty much all over the club face and

still getting some very flattering results have you got it yet well it's the tailor-made qi10 max

So I picked mine up for £287.99 from Golf Clubs for Cash, which is around half what a

lot of the newer models are retailing at. But what is it about this driver that's putting

it in so many people's hands? Well, my first thought about this was, is it something to

do with Rory and Scotty Scheffler? While they're playing different models of this QI10, they're

playing more the core model, people are still seeing it on television with this familiar

blue face and black crown the contrast there seeing it winning grand slams and multiple majors

and maybe they just want a piece of the action my other thought is there is as i showed there

a distinct draw bias to this model so so many of you out there will be struggling with that left to

right slice again maybe that's part of the reason this is getting purchased by so many people and

also we've got this 10k revolution so this is the driver that the whole qi10 range was named after

because of the 10k inertia and it's all about stability and moving weight back to make it as

forgiving as possible permit me to demonstrate right everybody this is tom say hi tom excellent

so we're going to demonstrate now tom's going to stand there in his normal guys and if i want to

push him over it's really quite easy sorry about that tom but what we're going to do now is

demonstrate the power of moi and center of gravity so tom's in the same sort of stance but we're

to move that foot back like we do with the Qi10 Max getting all the way back and all of a sudden

he's really quite difficult to move. So the level of stability and forgiveness on this driver is

quite clearly a massive draw to all golfers. I said in my initial review on Golf Monthly this might be

one of the straightest drivers I ever tried but honestly why it in so many people hands I think the secret sauce may lie a little deeper and I actually think it to do with playing length So it all to do with the head design here when they made this QI10 Max driver and

they wanted to spread the footprint out wide so they could get the mass and everything to the perimeter of the club they kind of squashed the club down so

they could spread it wider and when they squash that club down the point where

the shaft enters the head on this QI10 Max is actually lower to the ground so

So compared to the QI10 Core or the QI10 LS, this model, if you put the same shaft in

will play around quarter of an inch shorter than those other models

And I think it's one of the reasons that so many people get on well with this driver without even realising it

Many of you will know that drivers have just gotten longer and longer as a standard length over the past few years

There was a time not too long ago when the standard drive would have been about 44 or even 43 and a half inches

but with the quest for speed and the game getting bigger manufacturers have been making their

standard drivers longer and longer and longer and what that does quite often is it makes it

more difficult for people to find the center of the face so i do wonder whether just making this

slightly shorter in playing length without even people really noticing is helping people find the

middle more and thus getting them more successful off the tee it's actually one of the many reasons

why i think these mini drivers have been so successful over the past few years getting back to

a more controllable length for a lot of people like for example this one for me that i play

currently plays at 43 and a half inches so again like i said back to kind of what a more standard

driver used to be so when i get over the ball i feel like i can just find the center of the club

base more easily but i can hear many of you out there saying if i go down in shaft length isn't

that going to cost me club head speed and as such distance well why don't we find out so i brought

with me three identical shafts these are kbs pgw shafts tailor-made tips on them same grips

everything done the same but i've got them at completely different lengths i've got a 44 inch

45 inch and a 46 inch because i actually want to quantify this i want to find out if i do lose

speed when i go down in length or if i'm sacrificing everything else so let's kick it off let's hit a

few shots i'm going to start with the longest one i'm going to start 46 inches right so i've got the

46 inch driver in my hands and already just waggling it it feels a little bit more cumbersome

i play something around the 45 inch mark as a general rule so even just that extra inch

does feel a little bit cumbersome so i've got my foresight sports gc3 launch monitor here

gonna hit a few away and start to get an idea of club head speed and ball speed That a good hit to start things going Fairly impressive ball speed there I give myself that one

Let's hit a few more away, get some good averages and then we'll have a chat about it

Let's flip it over to the 45 and see what we get from there

right okay so speed wise some interesting stuff to talk about i'm going to find a comfortable

seat and i'll walk you through it right so the data there is really interesting and i actually

very much enjoyed doing that i've been wanting to do that for some time just hit a load of

different identical driver shafts of separate lengths to see what actually it does make in

terms of difference to both club head speed and ball speed which we're going to talk about both

here so in terms of club head speed if you felt going down in shaft length was going to compromise

your club head speed well yeah you're right from my data here that's exactly what happened so i was

at 115 miles an hour with the 44 inch driver i was at 117 miles an hour with a 45 inch driver

and I was nearly at 120 with the 46 inch driver so I was kind of mid to late

119s there so for sure the input as I would call it there the club head speed has gone up but when

you look a little bit further the output which would be ball speed so club head speed being our

input ball speed being our output has actually gone completely the other way so I'll start with

the 46 inch driver I had nearly everything with that my my best strike was nearly 180 miles per

hour of ball speed which is great but my worst strike was in the mid 160s and that averaged out

at 170.4 miles an hour of ball speed with a smash factor which for those of you don't know is your

ball speed divided by your club head speeds it kind of a measure of efficiency of 1 which is a little bit on the low side for me there so that shows maybe I wasn quite hitting the centre of the face as much as I would have liked to when I went up to the 45 inch driver sorry rather down to the 45 inch driver

my ball speed went up a little bit from that so 171 miles per hour 1.46 smash factor so that would

suggest that I'm getting closer to the middle and when I went down into that 44 inch driver which I

said felt like a junior club or even my three would well that was my quickest

ball speed despite having the slowest club head speed so the slowest input

gave me the quickest output I was averaging 172.5 miles an hour of ball

speed there which gave me a really super optimal smash factor of 1.50 and

also dispersion truth be told I was all over the map with that 46 inch driver I

I didn't find many fairways. I think probably one of the shots I hit would have been maybe centre of the fairway

Other than that, there was a little bit of dispersion going on

However, the 44-inch made it significantly easier, as I said, to find the centre of the face

And the more I think about this and the more players I see, you very rarely see anyone flush the ball out the middle of the face miles offline

Most of the dispersion issues I see when I play pro-ams or with people I'm doing fittings or lessons with or whatever

come from misstruck shots, so out of the heel and out of the toe. So what we've got here, in my

opinion, is going down in shaft length, in this instance at least for me, has allowed me to find

the centre of the face more, which has actually made it quicker, but not only is it quicker, being

more in control of that club and finding the centre of the face has actually made it straighter for me

as well. So there's a lesson here, I think, if you struggle with your accuracy or off the tee at all

It really might well be worth experimenting with a shorter driver to see if you see the same results as me there

On top of that, sticking on top of it the QI10 Max, probably arguably the most stable driver I've tested in around five years

you're probably in a good spot. So that's shown me exactly why so many people have been flocking to the second-hand market to buy this tailor-made QI10 Max driver

First off, it is incredibly stable and forgiving on those mishits. Secondly, it does have that little bit of inherent draw bias to help mitigate that slice for a lot of people who struggle with that shot

And finally, I hope that little experiment I've done there in terms of shaft length has given you something to think about for your own game
