Inside the Fit: Unlocking Nelly Korda’s Success with the Qi10 Max Driver
The journey to finding the perfect driver for Nelly Korda began in June 2023 when TaylorMade tour representatives initiated the testing process for the Qi10 family of drivers.
For Korda, the key criterion in selecting a driver is its ability to produce a leftward ball flight—a crucial element of her game.
Upon testing the Qi10 Max head, Korda immediately noticed its suitability for her game, particularly its aesthetics and performance characteristics.
The sleek design, featuring a subtle blue face and silver topline, instilled her with confidence and precision on the course.
As Korda aptly puts it, “Once I put the Qi10 Max down and teed it up, I feel like I could hit any shot I wanted to.”
Over subsequent sessions, the TaylorMade team fine-tuned the driver to Korda’s exact specifications, adjusting the shaft and backweight to optimize performance.
The result was a driver perfectly tailored to her swing, offering the ideal combination of distance, accuracy, and control—a vital asset in her quest for victory.
Why Korda Trusts the TP5x Golf Ball
In addition to her prowess with the Qi10 Max Driver, Korda’s success is also attributed to her choice of golf ball—the TP5x.
Seeking to reduce spin and enhance control, particularly with her driver and irons, Korda turned to the TP5x following extensive testing.
According to Ryan Ressa, TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager, the TP5x proved instrumental in optimizing Korda’s performance across various aspects of her game.
Notably, it helped reduce spin on her drives and irons, leading to improved distance and accuracy off the tee.
Moreover, around the greens, the TP5x facilitated greater spin and control on chips, providing Korda with the versatility needed to excel in all facets of her game.
With three victories worldwide now under her belt using the TaylorMade golf ball, Korda’s confidence in her equipment continues to soar, setting the stage for even greater achievements on the global stage.
In conclusion, Nelly Korda’s triumphant return to World No. 1 underscores her unwavering commitment to excellence and the pivotal role played by her equipment in achieving success at the highest level of the game.
As she continues to rewrite the record books and inspire fans worldwide, one thing remains certain—Nelly Korda is a force to be reckoned with in the world of golf.
