Introducing the new Qi35 family of drivers, fairways and rescues clubs from TaylorMade Golf
TaylorMade Golf has launched the Qi35, Qi35 LS, Qi35 Max and Qi35 Max Lite drivers, Qi35, Qi35 Tour, Qi35 Max and Qi35 Max Lite fairways and Qi35, Qi35 Max and Qi35 Max Lite hybrids – a collaboration of distance and forgiveness.
“At TaylorMade, we have been pushing the envelope of forgiveness, and in Qi35, we have taken it to yet another level. The true breakthrough is delivering this new level of forgiveness with even more distance and enhanced launch conditions. Combining that with groundbreaking fitting technology in Qi35 SelectFit heads will allow the golfer to see maximum performance gains with Qi35 drivers.” Brian Bazzel, VP of Product Creation
More Distance from More of the Face
Traditionally, driver construction is a choice between high moment of inertia (MOI) and a low centre of gravity (CG), but with Qi35 drivers, golfers can unlock another level and choose both.
To unlock another level of performance, the Qi35 driver combines lowered CG projection with maximum MOI resulting in more distance from more of the face. CG projection is a measurement of the balance point of the head projected onto the face.
This metric can help define the inherent launch conditions of the driver. When the ball is struck above that balance point, it is launched higher with less spin for a longer drive. When the ball is struck below that balance point, it creates more spin, lower launch and a shorter drive.
By lowering the balance point and optimising weight in the head, TaylorMade engineers activated a larger area of opportunity on the face for improved launch conditions. These improved launch conditions result in more distance from more of the face for each driver in the Qi35 driver family.
Through interchangeable Trajectory Adjustment System (TAS) weights, the CG projection of Qi35 LS and Qi35 can be further optimised to create the most mass efficient CG adjustments for shot shape and control.
The use of chromium carbon fibre in various parts of the head paired with a fourth-generation Carbon Twist Face™ and Infinity Carbon Crown allowed engineers to remove excess weight and apply it farther back to increase MOI in Qi35. The result is a considerable jump in forgiveness creating 13 percent tighter dispersion than Qi10* when the 13-gram weight is in the rear setting. Qi35 Max continues to offer maximum forgiveness with 10K MOI.
Qi35 drivers deliver the ultimate suite of technologies when combining the above features with prior TaylorMade innovations such as Carbon Twist Face, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ and a 4° loft sleeve.
The multi-material construction of chromium carbon fibre, steel, aluminum, tungsten and titanium works together with Qi35’s advanced technology to create the perfect blend of design and performance.
TaylorMade Golf Qi35 Driver line-up
Qi35
To create the ability to move weight farther back and forward in the clubhead, Qi35 takes on the same high inertia shape seen in Qi35 Max. By increasing the overall length of the head front-to-back by eight millimetres, the weight saved and repositioned makes Qi35 a 9K inertia driver.
Qi35 comes stock with two TAS weights, 13 grams in the back and 3 grams in the front to be able to customise CG projection. With the 13-gram TAS weight in the back, Qi35 has a CG projection of 1.6mm from centre face.
If the weights are flipped, CG projection lowers closer to centre face at 0.4mm with an MOI of 8.1K resulting in a distance gain of five yards*.
Qi35 drivers are available for £529 in 9.0°, 10.5° and 12.0° lofts with 2025 Fujikura Ventus Blue (5S, 5R, 5A) and Mitsubishi Diamana T+ 60 (X, S) stock shafts. The stock grip is Golf Pride’s Black/Silver Z-Grip (0.600 52g).
Qi35 Max
Qi35 Max houses a rear fixed tungsten weight inside the all-new symmetric inertia generator amassing 34 grams without increasing overall head weight. This keeps MOI at 10K while lowering CG projection to 2.9mm, improving launch conditions and resulting in more distance1.
Qi35 Max drivers are available for £529 and come in 9.0° 10.5° and 12.0° lofts and are equipped with the 2025 Fujikura AirSpeeder (5S, 5R, 5A) and Mitsubishi Diamana T+ 60 (X, S) stock shafts and Golf Pride’s Black/Silver Z-Grip (0.600 58g).
Qi35 LS
With one 13-gram TAS weight in the back and two 3-gram weights in the front, CG in Qi35 LS can also be optimised to the specific needs of the golfer. The incorporation of TAS weights into Qi35 LS instead of a sliding weight removes discretionary weight and is more mass efficient creating a greater change in CG, launch conditions and spin.
By putting the 13-gram weight in the front toe position, CG decreases to -0.2mm, the lowest CG projection of the entire Qi35 family. This pinpoint weighting creates more distance and lower spin. Moving the 13-gram weight to the back position increases MOI with a slight increase in CG projection at 0.8mm.
Qi35 LS drivers are available for £529 in 8.0°, 9.0° and 10.5° lofts with Mitsubishi Kai’li Blue DarkWave CB 60 (X, S, R) and Kai’li White DarkWave 60 (X,S) stock shafts. Qi35 LS comes equipped with GolfPride’s
Black/Silver Z-Grip Black/Silver (0.600 52g).
Qi35 Max Lite
TaylorMade breaks into the ultra-light weight category with Qi35 Max Lite. Qi35 Max Lite is over 35 grams lighter than Qi35 Max and is holistically designed in an ultra-light component package for an exceptional combination of weight and MOI. This driver is aimed toward golfers who are looking to increase their clubhead speed. Qi35 Max Lite is also seen in fairway woods and Rescue™ hybrids, as well as a women’s spec.
Qi35 Max Lite drivers are available for £529 in 10.5° and 12.0° lofts in Mitsubishi’s Vanquish 4 (R, R2/A) shaft and Golf Pride’s Black/White Z-Grip (0.600 43g). Qi35 Max Lite women’s is offered in 10.5° and 12.0° lofts with Fujikura’s AirSpeeder 40 L shaft and the Lamkin ST Soft grip (0.580 40g).
Qi35 Designer Series
The Qi35 Designer Series features unique aesthetics from the minds of TaylorMade’s most creative designers. The Designer Series drivers bring an allure of exclusivity with the sought after rich, deep gloss jet black finish with subtle highlights of green. Qi35 Designer Series drivers are offered in Qi35, Qi35 LS and Qi35 Max in both stock and custom configurations for £559.
The Qi35 driver family is available for preorder from January 7 and at retail from January 30 (March 13 for Designer Series).
Qi35 drivers can be customised with various grip and shaft offerings through TaylorMade’s custom ordering platform. Customisable weights will also be offered in an eight-piece weight kit and individually ranging from 3 to 15 grams.
TaylorMade Golf Qi35 Fairway Woods
Qi35 fairway woods allow golfers to unlock another level of optimisation through the incorporation of 4° loft sleeves in all 3 and 5-woods and the Qi35 Tour 7-wood. At the same time, the Qi35 fairway wood family gives them plenty of different head styles to unlock their full potential with this part of their bag.
Qi35
A wide array of golfers stand to benefit from Qi35. The skirt of Qi35 sits lower than the previous model which in turn optimises the CG location so that it sits in line with the centre of the ball at address. As a result, golfers are able to realise fast ball speeds and exceptional distance while still maintaining high MOI.
Qi35 has a TSS weight positioned toward the front of the clubhead to further optimise head mass properties while allowing custom weighting options during assembly. Coupled with a 4° loft sleeve in the 3, 3HL and 5-woods, and there are plenty of fitting and customisation options.
Qi35 fairway woods are available for £309 in 3-wood (15° RH/LH), 3-HL (16.5° RH), 5-wood (18° RH/LH) and 7-wood (21°RH/LH). The stock shaft is the Fujikura Ventus Blue FW 25’ 6 (X, S) 5 (R, A). The stock grip is the Golf Pride Z-Grip Black/Silver 0.600 52g.
Qi35 Max
The Qi35 Max head is the largest, most forgiving in the lineup measuring 200cc. The head shape creates high MOI and promotes easy launch. A TSS weight sits near the back of the club which creates our most forgiving fairway wood while promoting easy launch. It also allows for swing weight customisation during assembly.
The modified CG location enhances energy transfer between the clubface and the ball. A new face profile and head shape provide versatility from the tee and off the ground. A 4° loft sleeve is included in 3 and 5-woods while the 7 and 9-woods are bonded. Qi35 Max fairway woods are available for £309 in 3-wood (15.5° RH/LH), 5-wood (18.5° RH/LH), 7-wood (21.5° RH/LH) and 9 wood (24.5° RH). The stock shaft is the Fujikura AirSpeeder 25’ (5S, 5R, 5A) and the stock grip is the Golf Pride Tour Z-Grip Black/Silver 0.600 52g.
Qi35 Tour
Tour-inspired Qi35 Tour fairway woods are designed for golfers that prefer the look of a compact head and prioritise workability. Through additional layers of adjustability, Qi35 Tour allows them to optimise distance, flight and shot shape.
Qi35 Tour fairway woods come with a 40g sliding weight that can be moved back to help tighten dispersion, and forward to increase distance. Additionally, the weight can be rotated 180° effectively doubling the number of adjustability options. Coupled with a 4° loft sleeve, Qi35 Tour is one of the most customisable fairway woods TaylorMade has ever made.
Qi35 Tour fairway woods are available for £379 in 3-wood (15° RH/LH), 5-wood (18° RH/LH) and 7-wood (21° RH). The stock shaft is the Mitsubishi Kaili Blue DarkWave FW 75 (X, S) and 65 (R). The stock grip is the Golf Pride Z-Grip Black/Silver 0.600 52g.
Qi35 Max Lite
The ultralightweight and high MOI design of Qi35 Max Lite gives golfers increased forgiveness and enhances launch. By taking weight out of the head, shaft and grip, the Qi35 Max Lite helps golfers achieve faster swing speeds and more distance as a result.
The high MOI, 200cc head promotes high launch and the modified CG location enhances energy transfer between the clubface and the ball. The 3 and 5-woods come with a 4° loft sleeve while the 7-wood is bonded.
Qi35 Max Lite fairway woods are available for £309 in 3-wood (15.5° RH/LH), 5-wood (18.5° RH/LH), and 7-wood (21.5°RH/LH). The stock shaft is the Mitsubishi Vanquish 4 (R, R2/A) and the stock grip is the Golf
Pride Z-Grip Black/White 0.600 43g.
TaylorMade Golf Qi35 Hybrids
Qi35 hybrids feature multi-material construction consisting of chromium carbon, steel and aluminum to provide golfers consistent performance and versatility from any lie.
Qi35 hybrids also utilise optimised CG locations to promote high launch conditions. TSS weights are aligned centre with the CG to enhance energy transfer between the clubface and ball, while also allowing for optimisation of custom swing weights during the assembly process.
Qi35 hybrids incorporate proven TaylorMade technologies like Twist Face and an ultralightweight Carbon Crown. The Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ has been engineered to provide consistent face performance in every loft.
