TaylorMade Qi Irons
With the help of lessons learned from previous generations of game improvement clubs, TaylorMade is introducing the Qi irons, with which the company believes they have cracked the code on creating an iron that can go far, straight, and help golfers with the always annoying fade.
To help bring these irons to life TaylorMade engineers brought together many technologies, including FLTD (flighted) CG, speed pocket, cap back, and an all-new organic face design process for straighter shots.
By using what TaylorMade calls Integrated System Design, the manufacturer was able to see how different technology variables impact how a golf club reacts at impact, allowing TM to tune each key technology for a better end ball flight. This comprehensive approach to design helps to ensure ideal gapping, ball speeds, launch angles, and ball flight through the full set.
As an example, the 4 and 5-irons feature a lower profile back weight bar design, lowering the center of gravity and bringing it closer to the heel of the club in order to encourage easy face closure and a higher ball flight. At the other end of the set, the back bar in the short irons is more evenly distributed between the heel and toe for more forgiveness and ball flight control into the scoring clubs.
To go along with the core Qi irons, TaylorMade is also adding Qi HL irons to the lineup for 2024 to help golfers who struggle with getting the ball in the air and maintaining spin.
