Where it wins
- Distance92
- Forgiveness88
- Feel88
Watch
Rated highest for distance and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You want the longest, most adjustable all-round fairway, tunable at every loft to your flight.
You want maximum forgiveness or the easiest launch — the Qi4D Max helps more.
Pros
- The longest fairway going — among the quickest faces anyone has measured
- Full adjustability now on every loft, plus a swappable rear weight
- A firm, powerful titanium feel and a deep, solid sound
Cons
- Premium priced — a step up over the Qi35
- A mid-size head, more all-round than max-forgiving
- Extra tuning weights cost more on top
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentMore stable than before — a low, rearward weight and a refined low-face channel keep even thin strikes fast and flying.
Distance
Class-leadingThe longest of its year — a hot titanium face and a low, forward mass give elite ball speed and huge carry.
Workability
SolidA versatile all-rounder — neutral and adjustable, with a hosel on every loft and a swappable rear weight to tune flight.
Feel
ExcellentA firm, powerful strike off the titanium face — dense and rewarding, with clear feedback through the hands.
Sound
ExcellentA deep, solid note at impact — full and pleasing, the rich acoustic TaylorMade's recent woods have nailed.
Looks at address
ExcellentA cleaned-up, tidy head that sits lower and closer to the ground — modern and reassuring over the ball.
