TaylorMade Qi35 Drivers: Everything You Need To Know

With both the best male and female golfer in the world, plus Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, on their staff list, TaylorMade do a pretty good job of promoting their gear each and every year. So it’ll probably comes as no surprise to many of you to see the launch of the new TaylorMade Qi35 Drivers for 2025.

These first cropped up on the USGA Conforming List before Christmas, before Collin Morikawa put one of the drivers into play last week at The Sentry.

And the new range features more tech than ever to help you achieve that ideal combination of distance and forgiveness.

The name Qi35 stems from the fact that there are 3 different considerations in the development – Form, Fit and Function – and the fact that there are five different models available.

Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect to see in the new Qi35 Drivers this year:

The Tech

The main new technology this year is the lowered CG projection.

This is a measurement of the balance point on the head projected on the face. When the ball is struck below that point it can give you higher launch with less spin. The result = longer drives.

By lowering the balance point and optimising head weight, TaylorMade are making a larger area of the face ‘hotter’ for better launch and better distance. This has also been optimised across the different heads in the new range.

Using Trajectory Adjustment System (TAS) weights also allows the CG projection of the Qi35 and Qi35 LS to be optimised. This allows the mass to be adjusted more efficiently to dictate shot shape and control.

A new chromium carbon fibre combines with existing technologies like Twist Face, now in its fourth generation, and an Infinity Carbon Crown. This allows excess weight to be removed and pushed further back to increase MOI in Qi35.

As a result, TaylorMade claim 13% tighter dispersion vs Qi10 with the 13 gram weight in the back setting. Like the Qi10 Max, the Qi35 Max features 10K MOI again.

This features the same shape as the Qi35 Max, with an 8mm longer head than Qi10 producing a 9K MOI Driver. There are 13g and 3g weights which can be moved to the front or back to customise CG projection.

Qi35 Max Driver

There’s a fixed rear tungsten weight inside the symmetric inertia generator. This provides 34g of weight right at the back of the head, without affecting the overall head weight.

As a result, the driver remains 10K but with a lower CG projection to encourage better launch and distance.

Qi35 LS Driver

The low-spin model features a 13g weight in the back and two 3g weights in the front of the head. This can be adjusted to suit the needs of each golfer. Switching from the sliding weight from the Qi10 LS reduces weight and produces more efficient changes in CG, launch and spin.

Qi35 Max Lite Driver

TaylorMade have added a new ultra-lightweight driver, more than 35g lighter than Qi35 Max. It’s designed for golfers who are looking to increase clubhead speed, and is also offered in fairway woods and rescues too.

Qi35 SelectFit Driver

This year also sees the introduction of the first launch monitor enabled fitting heads. Reflective fitting markers are built directly into every SelectFit face. This allows for extremely accurate tracking of face deivery and impact information, without the use of face stickers.

It is built to combine with Foresight’s GCQuad and Quad Max launch monitors, whilst also working with Trackman to provide the most accurate face impact and club delivery data possible,

The new TaylorMade Qi35 Drivers are available for pre-order from 7th January and at retail from 30th January. They have an RRP of £529.

From March, TaylorMade will release the Designer Series drivers in a Black/Green finish at an RRP of £559.
