TaylorMade Golf have introduced the launch of Qi35, Qi35 LS, Qi35 Max and Qi35 Max Lite drivers – a collaboration of distance and forgiveness.
Historically, driver development is a selection between excessive second of inertia (MOI) and a low centre of gravity (CG), however with Qi35 drivers, golfers can unlock one other stage and select each.
Qi35 drivers can be found for pre-order beginning Jan. 7 and out there for buy at worldwide retail areas Jan. 30.
To unlock one other stage of efficiency, the Qi35 driver combines lowered CG projection with most MOI leading to extra distance from extra of the face#.
CG projection is a measurement of the steadiness level of the pinnacle projected onto the face.
This metric might help outline the inherent launch circumstances of the motive force. When the ball is struck above that steadiness level, it’s launched increased with much less spin for an extended drive.
When the ball is struck under that steadiness level, it creates extra spin, decrease launch and a shorter drive.
By reducing the steadiness level and optimising weight within the head, TaylorMade engineers activated a bigger space of alternative on the face for improved launch circumstances.
These improved launch circumstances end in extra distance from extra of the face for every driver within the Qi35 driver household.
By interchangeable Trajectory Adjustment System (TAS) weights, the CG projection of Qi35 LS and Qi35 could be additional optimised to create essentially the most mass environment friendly CG changes for shot form and management.
The usage of chromium carbon fibre in numerous elements of the pinnacle paired with a fourth era Carbon Twist Face™ and Infinity Carbon Crown allowed engineers to take away extra weight and apply it farther again to extend MOI in Qi35.
The result’s a substantial soar in forgiveness creating 13 % tighter dispersion than Qi10* when the 13-gram weight is within the rear setting. Qi35 Max continues to supply most forgiveness with 10K MOI.
Qi35 drivers ship the last word suite of applied sciences when combining the above options with prior TaylorMade improvements resembling Carbon Twist Face, Via-Slot Pace Pocket™ and a 4° loft sleeve.
The multi-material development of chromium carbon fibre, metal, aluminum, tungsten and titanium works along with Qi35’s superior expertise to create the proper mix of design and efficiency.
Qi35
To create the flexibility to maneuver weight farther again and ahead within the clubhead, Qi35 takes on the identical excessive inertia form seen in Qi35 Max. By rising the general size of the pinnacle front-to-back by eight millimeters, the burden saved and repositioned makes Qi35 a 9K inertia driver.
Qi35 comes inventory with two TAS weights, 13 grams within the again and three grams within the entrance to have the ability to customise CG projection. With the 13-gram TAS weight within the again, Qi35 has a CG projection of 1.6mm from heart face.
If the weights are flipped, CG projection lowers nearer to centre face at 0.4mm with an MOI of 8.1K leading to a distance achieve of 5 yards*.
Qi35 drivers can be found for £529 / €689 / SEK 7,499 / NOK 7,499 / DKK 4,999 / CHF 689 in 9.0°, 10.5° and 12.0° lofts with 2025 Fujikura Ventus Blue (5S, 5R, 5A) and Mitsubishi Diamana T+ 60 (X, S) inventory shafts. The inventory grip is Golf Delight’s Black/Silver Z-Grip (0.600 52g).
Qi35 Max
Qi35 Max homes a rear mounted tungsten weight contained in the all-new symmetric inertia generator amassing 34 grams with out rising total head weight. This retains MOI at 10K whereas reducing CG projection to 2.9mm, bettering launch circumstances and leading to extra distance1.
Qi35 Max drivers can be found for £529 / €689 / SEK 7,499 / NOK 7,499 / DKK 4,999 / CHF 689 and are available 9.0° 10.5° and 12.0° lofts and are geared up with the 2025 Fujikura AirSpeeder (5S, 5R, 5A) and Mitsubishi Diamana T+ 60 (X, S) inventory shafts and Golf Delight’s Black/Silver Z-Grip (0.600 58g).
Qi35 LS
With one 13-gram TAS weight within the again and two 3-gram weights within the entrance, CG in Qi35 LS will also be optimised to the particular wants of the golfer.
The incorporation of TAS weights into Qi35 LS as an alternative of a sliding weight removes discretionary weight and is extra mass environment friendly making a higher change in CG, launch circumstances and spin.
By placing the 13-gram weight within the entrance toe place, CG decreases to -0.2mm, the bottom CG projection of your complete Qi35 household. This pinpoint weighting creates extra distance and decrease spin.
Transferring the 13-gram weight to the again place will increase MOI with a slight improve in CG projection at 0.8mm.
Qi35 LS drivers can be found for £529 / €689 / SEK 7,499 / NOK 7,499 / DKK 4,999 / CHF 689 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) inventory shafts. Qi35 LS comes geared up with GolfPride’s Black/Silver Z-Grip Black/Silver (0.600 52g).
Qi35 Max Lite
TaylorMade breaks into the ultra-light weight class with Qi35 Max Lite. Qi35 Max Lite is over 35 grams lighter than Qi35 Max and is holistically designed in an ultra-light element bundle for an distinctive mixture of weight and MOI. This driver is aimed towards golfers who want to improve their clubhead pace. Qi35 Max Lite can also be seen in fairway woods and Rescue™ hybrids, in addition to a ladies’s spec.
Qi35 Max Lite drivers can be found for £529 / €689 / SEK 7,499 / NOK 7,499 / DKK 4,999 / CHF 689 in 10.5° and 12.0° lofts in Mitsubishi’s Vanquish 4 (R, R2/A) shaft and Golf Delight’s Black/White Z-Grip (0.600 43g). Qi35 Max Lite ladies’s is obtainable in 10.5° and 12.0° lofts with Fujikura’s AirSpeeder 40 L shaft and the Lamkin ST Mushy grip (0.580 40g).
