The TaylorMade Qi35 driver family consists of four models that offer golfers a new level of customization and performance. The Qi35 drivers feature a three-pillared approach focusing on form, function, and fit. The design of the drivers draws inspiration from fast-moving objects like jets and sports cars, resulting in a sleek and aerodynamic look. The use of Chromium Carbon material in the clubhead adds a visual appeal and draws the golfer’s attention to key features like the SpeedPocket and TAS weight ports.
The function of the Qi35 drivers is all about balance. The drivers are designed to have a lower center of gravity (CG) projection, which enhances forgiveness and increases ball speed. The fourth generation of TaylorMade’s Carbonwood technology and the new chromium carbon crown contribute to lowering the CG and the CG projection, resulting in consistent ball speed and spin numbers across the clubface. This innovative design allows for high performance and forgiveness in a single driver.
TaylorMade is taking a new approach to customization with the Qi35 drivers, offering a fifth head option called the SelectFit heads for clubfitters. These heads have reflective markers built into the clubface, allowing launch monitors to accurately track the club through the swing. Additionally, TaylorMade has integrated an algorithm into its fitting software to recommend shafts based on the head delivery characteristics detected by the SelectFit heads. The focus on fitting ensures that golfers are properly matched to their drivers for optimal performance.
The Qi35 LS model features the Trajectory Adjustment System (TAS) with three weight ports in the rear and front-left and front-right of the sole. This system replaces the traditional sliding weight found on previous models and allows for greater customization of ball flight. The core model driver offers over 9,000 MOI and features front and back TAS weight ports to adjust the CG for speed or forgiveness. The Qi35 Max is a high forgiveness model that reaches the USGA-legal limit of 10K MOI, while the Qi35 Max Lite is an ultra-lightweight driver designed for players seeking increased speed.
In terms of price and availability, the TaylorMade Qi35 drivers are now available for pre-order. The range of models, from the core to the Max Lite, offers golfers a variety of options to suit their swing characteristics and performance needs. With a focus on design, balance, customization, and performance, the Qi35 drivers represent a new era of driver technology from TaylorMade. Whether you’re looking for forgiveness, speed, or ultra-lightweight performance, the Qi35 driver family has a model that can elevate your game on the course.
