Rory McIlroy a dû réaliser des coups de golf décisifs lors du tournoi Zurich Classic et a fait confiance à son driver Qi10 et aux balles TP5x pour remporter une victoire palpitante en séries éliminatoires lors du Zurich Classic de La Nouvelle-Orléans. The win marks McIlroy’s 25th on the PGA TOUR moving him into T23 all-time on the PGA TOUR wins list.
On the 72nd hole, McIlroy hit his drive to the middle of the fairway and then perfectly executed a pitch shot from off the green to set his partner up for an up-and-down birdie birdie chance which his partner drained with his Spider Tour Z to force a playoff. Then, on the playoff hole, McIlroy hit the fairway again before getting his teammate on the green and tapping in the winning par putt.
The story of Rory McIlroy’s Qi10 driver starts at TaylorMade’s content shoot in the fall of 2023. Between what was built for Rory and what was built for the rest of Team TaylorMade, just about every driver build possible was on the range that day.
Amongst the heads in Rory’s bag, was something that traditionally wouldn’t be the type of driver the four-time major champion would play: the larger head profile and more forgiving Qi10 driver.
Compared to Qi10 LS, beyond just the larger shape, Rory noticed when he took the Qi10 home for testing that he found the center of the face more often with the help of more MOI in Qi10 vs LS. That then sparked a thought in Rory’s head of if he could return back to a longer driver shaft to get more distance while also having the forgiveness of the Qi10 head.
In years past, Rory shortened his driver shaft to 44 inches as it tightened his dispersion off the tee compared to a longer length shaft. Now with the Qi10, Rory had a chance for the first time in a few years to be able to go back to a longer shaft at 45 inches without sacrificing any change in dispersion.
That’s exactly what happened and Rory made the switch to a 45-inch Ventus Black 6X, the same shaft profile as his Qi10 fairway woods. With the new setup, Rory is cruising at 186 MPH ball speed and 330-yards carry.
The win at the Zurich Classic marks Rory’s second in 2024 with Qi10 driver after securing his recorded setting fourth win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in just his second start with the driver. Entering this week, McIlroy was first in Total Driving and third in Driving Distance.
Rory and his partner played Spider Tour X and Spider Tour Z respectively to secure the win at the Zurich Classic. It was the eighth win this season on the PGA TOUR for Spider putters and ninth worldwide including Rory's win at the Dubai Desert Classic.
