Aaron Rai’s Fairway Wood Is On A Generational Win Streak

With a 6-major-wins streak going strong, this fairway wood is proving it has staying power at the highest level.

How about we play a little trivia game? What do JJ Spaun, Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Aaron Rai all have in common?

First off, they are the combined winners of the last 6 men's major championships, with Aaron Rai joining the club after taking home the PGA Championship at Aronimink with a 3-shot win over Jon Rahm and Alex Smalley.

You know what else they all have in common?

They all happen to play a TaylorMade Qi10 3-wood. And, in the case of Scottie, Rory, and Aaron, they also play TaylorMade blade irons, with Scottie and Aaron playing the P7TW, and Rory playing the Rors Proto.

And, just to note - JJ won his U.S. Open with Srixon's ZXi irons.

What Makes The Qi10 3-Wood So Good?

Since launch, the Qi10 core fairway woods have cemented a place in many players' bags, thanks to their ability to deliver total performance under any scenario.

What I mean by total performance is that compared to the previous Stealth 2, the core Qi10 offered (and still offers) a larger footprint for added forgiveness. But, with a more forward center of gravity position, it’s able to launch the ball higher and with less spin. This is a wining combo for professional golfers.

It's this all-in-one nature that makes the club so great and why more players are reluctant to change away from a club that works so well off the tee and off the fairway. In fact, when Rory won the Masters this year, he put his Qi10 3-wood back into play over his Qi4D, even though he had previously used the Qi4D and was also using the Qi4D 5-wood.


So if you happen to be looking for a 3-wood and want something that offers a great combination of distance and control (and likely a great price, thanks to it being a couple of generations old), why not go with the one model every men's major champ over the last 6 events can agree on - The TaylorMade Qi10.

Lower CG projection aids in creating a fairway that is easier to launch, provides additional forgiveness and creates the platform for incredible distance.
