Where it wins
- Forgiveness90
- Looks87
- Distance86
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a very forgiving, adjustable all-rounder with a soft feel, from the widest-fitting model in the line.
You want the absolute highest MOI (the Max) or the lowest spin (the LS).
Pros
- Over 9,000 MOI — the most forgiving standard Qi TaylorMade has made
- Genuine adjustability now, from two movable weights
- A softer, quieter feel and sound than the Qi10
Cons
- The Qi35 Max forgives more; the LS spins less
- Stability-first — only limited shot-shaping
- Premium price
By dimension
Forgiveness
Class-leadingOver 9,000 MOI in a larger head — steadier than any standard Qi to date, with a big, high hitting area.
Distance
ExcellentFast and consistent — a new low, deep weighting holds ball speed, and the front weight setting adds a little carry.
Workability
SolidTwo movable weights give real range — set it for tight dispersion or a bias, but it's a stability-first head.
Feel
ExcellentA soft, carbon strike — noticeably nicer and more muted than the Qi10 before it.
Sound
ExcellentA quieter, lower-pitched note than the Qi10 — a cleaner, more refined impact.
Looks at address
ExcellentA larger, carbon-crowned head — a big, confident footprint that sits square and clean.
