Qi35

Independent and manufacturer testing measured 9,000 g·cm² MOI, achieved by extending the head front-to-back 8mm and repositioning mass to the perimeter. Dispersion runs 13% tighter than the predecessor with the 13g weight rear-set. Mishits show little distance dropoff and no twisting on toe/heel impacts. 9K MOI is class-competitive for non-Max heads but trails dedicated 10K+ heads.

Robot testing ranked Qi35 second in ball speed among 2025 drivers; forum testing peaked at 188 mph with mid-spin ~2,350 rpm. Robotic testing at 95mph swing speed produced 15 shots in a 141-143 mph cluster versus only 4 shots at 141 mph for the predecessor, indicating tighter ball-speed retention. Posts roughly 1mph more ball speed than the leading competitor head-to-head. Spin dropped ~200 rpm versus the predecessor through revised CG positioning.

Reviewers describe the standard head as neutral-biased with two-way shot-shaping capability when the heavier weight sits forward. Sits between the low-spin and max-forgiveness siblings in the family hierarchy. Default weight configuration produces a straight ball flight; modest bias change available via weight swaps. Less shapeable than the low-spin sibling but more workable than the max-forgiveness sibling.

Reviewers describe the carbon face as slightly softer than the predecessor while contact registers firm and powerful, with a notably large area where strikes feel solid. The standard head feels sturdier and firmer than the Max and Max Lite variants, building confidence at address. Feel was repeatedly described as addictive in combination with the acoustics.

Reviewers describe acoustics as slightly more muted and lower-pitched than the predecessor, while also a touch livelier with extra zing at strike. The overall character remains thuddier than most competitors. Sound and feel combine harmoniously and are non-distracting at address.

Industry awards recognized the model on the 2025 Hot List for its broadly appealing address shape. Reviewers describe the head as a middle-ground 460cc silhouette without the bulbous footprint of the max-forgiveness sibling. Carbon crown finishing provides a clean visual presentation. Less polarizing in shaping than the larger family sibling.
