Cobra Aerojet Vs Taylormade Qi10 Driver Comparison
It’s new Vs slightly older in this comparison of the Taylormade Qi10 and Cobra Aerojet drivers.
Cobra Aerojet Driver Overview
“The Aerojet driver features a low/forward internal weight, carbon fiber sole and crown and variable face thickness.”
Behind the ball, the Aerojet looks almost perfectly symmetrical and the carbon fiber crown imparts a modern aesthetic.
The Aerojet feels very light and very fast. And I was very pleased with the low spin figures. They kept my flight near-effortlessly straight and produced good rollout. The Cobra Aerojet driver sells for $400.
Taylormade Qi10 Driver Overview
“The Taylormade Qi10 features carbon fiber Twist Face, infinity carbon crown and the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket.”
The blue carbon face is a nice change from the red coloring of the Stealth 2 driver and carbon fiber now covers 97% of the crown.
The Taylormade Qi10 also yielded tight shot dispersion and a bit more carry distance than the Aerojet – about 7 extra yards on average.
The Qi10 driver sells direct from Taylormade for $600.
“The Cobra Aerojet is a good choice for players who want to increase swing speed while the Taylormade Qi10 offers a good combination of distance and tight dispersion.”
Cobra Aerojet Driver – First Impressions
“The Cobra Aerojet is a little understated in looks with the black carbon crown. It’s been designed like an airplane to redce drag and increase club head speed.”
The price has gotten a little bit closer to the Big boys like the Stealth 2, G430 and the Callaway Paradym but Cobra have earned their spot at the top table.
The Carbon Crown is 30% smaller than its predecessor and there is a 15 Spot A.i optimized Hot Face that delivers high ball speeds on toe and heel strikes.
The Hot Face sits on the L Shape Pwrshell cup face and there was no space left for the CNC milling in the latest Cobra iteration.
The Pwr Bridge is similar to the Jailbreak tech from Callaway except it runs parallel from toe to heel. It ensures a decent launch angle, stability, and more flex around the face alongside a better energy transfer.
There are interchangeable tungsten weights on the sole of each club which can be moved around to give you the perfect performance for your game.
This driver is right up there with the top brands in terms of distance, forgiveness and dispersion.

Cobra Aerojet 2 Family
Like most 2023 drivers, the aerojet comes in 3 different versions to choose from.
The LS version has a 457cc head for more workability, it has the lowest spin and it bombs the furthest, be careful tho, it is not the most forgiving for high handicappers. It has 2 adjustable weights on the sole.
The regular Aerojet is similar to the LS except it has a slightly bigger head, launches a bit higher, and has a slightly higher spin rate. Very similar performance to the LS except it is a bit more forgiving.
The max version is the highest launching and most forgiving member of the family for high handicappers. It has two adjustable weights to get it into a draw or fade mode.
Taylormade Qi10 Driver – First Impressions
“I liked the depth of the face and the look of the crown right away.”
I could tell that this was going to be a very “user-friendly” driver and I was right. In fact, I had to open up my stance quite a bit to get a true mis-hit out of this thing. It’s very easy to find the sweet spot and even when you miss it, you aren’t punished nearly as much as you may deserve.
While the Taylormade Qi10 driver didn’t play quite as long as say, the new Callaway Paradym Smoke Ai Max, the dispersion was tight which is, I believe, more important for beginners and high handicappers. After all, distance will always follow accuracy – the inverse of that statement is not always true.
In any case, I loved the way the Taylormade Qi10 driver helped me produce favorable lies whether I was warmed up or not.

Who is the Taylormade Qi10 for?
“The standard Taylormade Qi10 driver would be a good choice for handicappers in the 18-25 range.”
More to the point, if you are having trouble staying out of the rough with your current driver, the Taylormade Qi10 would definitely be worth the upgrade. The updated carbon fiber face construction works wonders towards coaxing favorable lies out of all kinds of mis-hits.
If you tend to hit the ball heavy or are a 25+ handicapper, the Taylormade Qi10 Max version would probably be better for you. But the standard is still plenty forgiving and accurate for most high handicappers.
Even as a brand new driver, the Taylormade Qi10 utilizes some of the most successful forgiveness features from past models like the Through Speed Pocket. And while distance could be enhanced a bit, I have to agree with Taylormade’s claims that the Taylormade Qi10 is the most forgiving driver in the company’s illustrious history.
Distance: 96/100
Accuracy: 98/100
Forgiveness: 98/100
Feel & Control: 96/100
Overall Score: 97/100
