Moreover TaylorMade Golf announces the release of Qi35 fairway woods and hybrids. Collectively, the family gives golfers of all abilities added levels of versatility, adjustability, and consistent performance with optimised CG projections, high MOI designs, and the addition of loft sleeves in many of the heads.
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.
The all-new #Qi35Driver builds on the most forgiving family of drivers we’ve ever made by lowering CG to unlock more distance from more of the face.

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 drivers:
- Qi35: The compromise model that ideally combines performance and forgiveness (from €689).
- Qi35 Max: Perfect for golfers who need high launch conditions and maximum forgiveness (from €689).
- Qi35 LS: Low-spin variant for golfers with strong handicaps and precise demands (from €689).
- Qi35 Max Lite: Ideal for players who want to increase their clubhead speed with an ultra-light design (from €689).
- Qi35 Designer Series: Exclusive design for players who value performance and aesthetics (from €719).
Fitting Has a New Face with Qi35 SelectFit Heads
To further improve accuracy and efficiency of the fitting process, TaylorMade introduces a groundbreaking technology by creating the first launch monitor enabled fitting heads. For the first time ever, reflective fitting markers are built directly into every Qi35 SelectFit driver face and will be available at all TaylorMade experiential events and retail fitting locations. The built-in fitting markers deliver the most accurate face delivery and impact information
possible allowing fitters to fully optimise the technology of Qi35 drivers exactly to the golfer’s skillset without needing to apply stickers onto the face.
In conjunction with Foresight Sports’ camera-based technology, the reflective fitting markers are tracked by GCQuad or Quad Max launch monitors within the impact interval. Additionally, TaylorMade has provided Trackman clubhead measurements for the most accurate face impact and club delivery data possible. Within the Trackman app, fitters can select the Qi35 head model which will automatically populate the clubhead measurements.
TaylorMade Golf fairway woods and hybrids of the Qi35 family
Qi35 fairway woods are packed with proven TaylorMade technologies like Twist Face, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, and an Infinity Carbon Crown. These same technologies made
TaylorMade fairway woods the most played on the PGA TOUR in 2024. All Qi35 fairway woods utilise multi-material construction that optimises mass placement for maximum performance in a way that seamlessly blends form and function.
A New Level of Fitting
Like never before, 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.
The fairway woods:
- Qi35: For all-rounders looking for fast ball speeds, great distances and adjustment options (€399).
- Qi35 Max: Perfect for players who need maximum forgiveness and an easy ball launch (€399).
- Qi35 Tour: Designed for experienced golfers who prefer compact heads and precise adjustments (€479).
- Qi35 Max Lite: Ideal for golfers who want to achieve higher swing speeds through an ultra-light design (€399).
The 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.
Qi35: Versatile; for golfers looking for easy loft adjustment and precise gapping (€349).
Qi35 Max: Ideal for players who need maximum forgiveness, easy launch and exceptional distance (€349).
Qi35 Max Lite: Ultra-light design for increased swing speed (€349).
