Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Distance90
- Feel87
- Sound87
Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
You want the longest, most versatile fairway you can flight and shape, now with a tunable loft.
You want maximum forgiveness or the easiest launch — the Qi35 Max helps more.
Pros
- The longest fairway of its year, with elite ball speed
- Now adjustable — a loft sleeve adds two degrees each way
- A rich, deep, woody sound and a powerful, compressed feel
Cons
- Less forgiving than the bigger Qi35 Max
- No movable weight — only the hosel adjusts
- A mid-size head, more all-round than max-stable
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSolidly steady — the wrapping face and a speed channel keep ball speed up on a miss, short of the Max's raw stability.
Distance
Class-leadingThe longest of its year — a hot face and speed slot give elite ball speed and huge, penetrating carry.
Workability
SolidA genuine canvas for a good player — versatile enough to flight and curve, now with a hosel to tune loft too.
Feel
ExcellentA muted, forceful strike — a low, woody note at impact, the ball squashing off the face with clear read through the hands.
Sound
ExcellentA deep, woody thud at impact — an almost persimmon-like note, rich and unusually pleasing for a modern metalwood.
Looks at address
ExcellentAn average-sized head under a slate carbon crown with a marginally deeper face — clean and modern, more compact than the Max.
