The Callaway Quantum Max and the Callaway Quantum Max D share the same loft lineup, 3W at 15°, 5W at 18° and 7W at 21°, and both have an adjustable hosel. What separates them is the category. The Quantum Max is a players distance fairway wood for golfers who want speed with a lower spin profile and like to work the ball. The Quantum Max D is a game improvement fairway wood, so it leans toward forgiveness and easier height. The shafts tell the same story. The Quantum Max ships with the Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 in stiff or the Ventus Blue 5 in regular, while the Quantum Max D comes with the Aldila Ascent 50 in regular or the Ascent 45 in senior, a spread that suits moderate swing speeds.
The Quantum Max D is the pick for most golfers. It lists at $330 against $350 for the Quantum Max, and its game improvement design and senior flex option cover a wider range of players. Go with the Quantum Max if you swing fast enough for a stiff Ventus Blue and want more control over spin and shot shape. Price and forgiveness favor the Quantum Max D. Feel and workability favor the Quantum Max.
