The Callaway Quantum Max OS and the TaylorMade Qi Max HL share most of their spec sheet: super game improvement category, 5-iron to PW makeup, a wide sole, a hollow body, an AI designed face and stronger lofts. The split is loft. The Quantum Max OS runs 2 degrees stronger at the 7-iron, 26.5° against 28.5°, which works out to roughly 5 yards more carry at the same swing speed. That also pushes its PW to 40.5°, so the gap to your first wedge needs checking. The Qi Max HL keeps more loft and carries a High Launch tag, so it is the set for players who need help getting the ball up. Only the Quantum Max OS is tagged Perimeter Weighting. Price is close: $1,049 for the Qi Max HL, $1,099 for the Quantum Max OS at MSRP.
Pick the Quantum Max OS if distance comes first and you have a wedge to fill the gap below a 40.5° PW. On forgiveness, the Perimeter Weighting tag is the only mark in the Quantum Max OS column. Pick the Qi Max HL if you struggle to get irons airborne or want to keep $50 in your pocket. Feel is a personal call that no spec sheet settles, so try both if you can.
