Qi35 Max Lite

Independent testing confirmed 9K MOI for outstanding stability and forgiveness — below the heavier sibling's 10K but still class-competitive. The 24g tungsten rear Inertia Generator (versus 34g on the heavier sibling) preserves stability while keeping the head 12g lighter. Reviewers noted that even on mishits the stability is impressive. Lower MOI than the heavier sibling but enough perimeter weighting to retain top-quartile forgiveness for the target slow-swing demographic.

Robot testing identified the Max Lite as the highest-spinning option in the family, offering the shortest carry and a soft landing profile — that extra consistency and forgiveness costs a few yards at faster swing speeds. Distance is competitive only at the target sub-90 mph swing speeds where the lighter head enables 2-4 mph clubhead speed gain. Trails the standard, low-spin, and heavier max-forgiveness siblings at any speed above 95 mph.

Like the heavier sibling, the head has no movable weights — fixed rear tungsten weight precludes shot-shape tuning. The head is biased toward a high, straight ball flight with very limited ability to work the ball. Designed for golfers who want the ball to go straight, not for shot-shapers. Below-class workability — comparable to slicer-targeted heads.

Reviewers note the head feels noticeably lighter than the heavier max-forgiveness sibling while still feeling powerful at impact, with impressive stability even on mishits. The carbon face feels softer than the predecessor generation but with lighter head, vibration character is slightly different than the heavier sibling. Players sensitive to clubhead weight in hand may find it lacks the planted feel of the heavier sibling.

Reviewers describe contact anywhere on the face producing a mid-volume tink with an airier sound than the heavier sibling — satisfying, distinctive, yet doesn't draw attention. The airier acoustic doesn't sound hollow — just lighter and crisper than the heavier sibling. Subtly higher-pitched due to lighter head mass and same carbon crown construction.

Industry awards recognized the model on the 2025 Hot List. Reviewers note the head shape mirrors the heavier max-forgiveness sibling — bulbous, deep, oversized 460cc footprint at address. Same matte black carbon crown finishing as the rest of the family — clean and modern with no glare. Polarizing shape for better players but reassuring for the target slow-swing audience.
