TaylorMade Qi4D LS Driver

TaylorMade Qi4D LS Driver Review

"LS" stands for Low Spin, and TaylorMade isn't exaggerating. The Qi4D LS is the fastest, lowest-spinning driver in the Qi4D family, wrapped in a more compact, traditional pear-shaped head that better players tend to prefer over the standard Qi4D's larger profile.

Look, Sound and Feel

Independent testers rated it "one of their best looking in quite some time," a matte black crown and sole with dark blue-green accents that reads as understated and premium rather than flashy.

Pros

  • Immediate, noticeable clubhead speed gains reported versus competitors
  • Consistently low spin: one tester's worst shot of the session was still under 3,700 rpm, with an average under 2,500
  • Expanded high-COR zones across the face for strong ball speed even on off-center hits
  • Tightened dispersion and predictable ball flight
  • Genuinely attractive styling

Cons

  • Fewer weight ports (two, not three) means less shot-shape correction range than the standard Qi4D
  • Premium price, and a compact head that isn't for every skill level
  • At least one tester found the launch angle a touch high for their swing, leaving some distance on the table

Who Should Use the Qi4D LS?

  • Better players and faster swingers who already struggle to keep spin below ~3,000 rpm.
  • Golfers who prefer a compact, traditional head shape over a larger game-improvement profile.
  • Anyone who values a simplified, more predictable adjustability system over maximum shot-shaping range.

Suitability by handicap

High handicap golfersBetter served by the standard Qi4D or Qi4D Max
Mid handicap golfersYes, if spin control is a real issue for you
Low handicap golfersYes, this is the model built for you

Features and Benefits

Redesigned Carbon Twist Face

An adjusted carbon layer thickness and new vertical roll radius specifically tuned for the LS model's lower-spin, faster-swinger target market.

Compact Pear-Shaped Head

A smaller, more traditional profile than the standard Qi4D, the shape better players tend to prefer at address, without giving up the carbon face's speed benefits.

Trajectory Adjustment System (2-Port)

A simplified two-weight-port system (versus three on the standard Qi4D) trades some shot-shape range for a cleaner, more predictable setup.

Conclusion

The Qi4D LS delivers exactly what its name promises: real, measured spin reduction and a genuine clubhead speed bump, in a head shape better players will actually want to look down at. It's not the model for golfers who need help correcting a big miss; that's what the standard Qi4D and Qi4D Max are for. But for a low-spin, better-player driver, the numbers back up the marketing.

Tour Players Using the Qi4D LS

Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood both carry the Qi4D LS, drawn to its lower spin and tighter dispersion over the standard Qi4D.
