TaylorMade Qi35 Max.
TaylorMade's Qi35 Max carries forward the 60X Carbon Twist Face and pushes MOI even higher with refined mass redistribution. The result is the most forgiving driver TaylorMade has ever produced.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“If you spend more time worrying about heel-toe misses than about tour-level distance, this is the driver. The Qi35 Max is what happens when TaylorMade stops chasing peak ball speed and instead engineers the head to refuse to punish off-center hits. It will not be the longest driver on the rack — that's the LS — but it will be the one that puts you in the fairway five more times per round. For the 80% of golfers who index between 8 and 24, that trade is exactly the right one to make.”
