TaylorMade Qi35 fairway woods: Full reviews, player testing, photos and more
HIGHLIGHTS
Four fairway wood models
Focus on Adjustability
Chromium Carbon Crown WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Similar to the new drivers from the TaylorMade Qi35 family, the new Qi35 fairway woods focus on two main characteristics: inertia and adjustability. Inertia refers to the clubhead’s ability to deliver an optimal combination of distance and forgiveness, while adjustability allows golfers to fine-tune their shot shapes and configurations, helping players of all skill levels lower their scores.
Many of the technologies found in the previous Qi10 fairway wood line are carried over into the Qi35, including Twist Face, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, TSS weights and, this time, a Chromium Carbon Crown. The Qi35 introduces several new features as well, such as improved shaping, weight distribution and optimization across all of the new models.
TaylorMade Qi35 fairway woods, hybrids: 5 things to know about the 2025 line
“With the Qi35 fairway woods, we’ve been able to lower the center of gravity compared to the previous Qi10 models so that it aligns with the center of the ball for a more powerful impact,” said Andrew Oldknow, TaylorMade’s director of production creation for metalwoods. This means the Qi35s are more forgiving, longer and easier to get the ball airborne from off the deck, almost as easily as if you’re launching a ball off a tee.
The line features four models: Qi35, Qi35 Tour, Qi35 Max and Qi35 Max Lite. Each one is designed with a specific player profile in mind.
For the first time, TaylorMade is putting 4° loft sleeves in all 3- and 5-woods in the fairway wood line to allow for even greater options for fitting. Previously, adjustable loft sleeves were limited only to the Tour line.
“This gives golfers the opportunity to optimize their distance, flight and face angle,” Oldknow said. “And this year, we’re bringing driver-like adjustability to our fairway woods, offering a tour-level experience to consumers.”
There also will be a loft sleeve on the Qi35 Tour 7-wood.

PLAYER TESTING TAKEAWAYS
“Like sound and weight. The most consistent of the bunch, with great dispersion and distance. Great on mishits.” – Greg Caster (15.1-handicap) on the TaylorMade Qi35 fairway wood
“Liked the size of the clubhead. Smooth feel and effortless distance. Easy to hit and felt confident. Good launch and longest club by far. I like the TM logo alignment aid. Feels like I can just step up and pound it. Goes almost as far as my driver.” – Glen Hamel (12-handicap) on the TaylorMade Qi35 Max fairway wood
“Carbon top looks nice. Lines are clean and higher profile looks nice. Jumped off face on solid strikes. Overall liked the look and feel and hit it solid.” – Travis Okamoto (1.3-handicap) on the TaylorMade Qi35 Tour fairway wood
