TaylorMade Qi35 hybrids: Full reviews, player testing, photos and more
HIGHLIGHTS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Similar to the new drivers from the TaylorMade Qi35 family, the new Qi35 hybrids 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.
The Qi35 hybrids come in three models, crafted from a mix of carbon, steel and aluminum, and feature integrated TSS weights for improved performance and versatility. Like the fairway woods, the hybrids are designed with optimized CG to enhance energy transfer into the ball and also to promote higher launch conditions.
The Qi35 is the “Goldilocks” hybrid, designed for most golfers seeking the ideal balance of forgiveness, distance and playability from various lies. It also features a 3° loft sleeve for added customization.
With an increased MOI, the CG in the Qi35 Max promotes a faster, higher launch with a slight draw bias for improved forgiveness. The Max Lite comes with all the features and benefits in the Qi35 Max but with a lighter clubhead, shaft and grip.
