The Ping G440 Max and TaylorMade Qi35 are both 460cc heads with adjustable hosels and the same three loft options, 9°, 10.5° and 12°. The split is in category. The G440 Max is a game improvement driver, built around forgiveness on off-center strikes. The Qi35 is a players distance driver, which usually means a spin profile aimed at golfers who already find the center of the face. The Qi35 also carries a High Launch tag and offers two stock shafts, the Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 in stiff and the Ventus Blue 5 in regular. The G440 Max comes with one, the Aldila Ascent 50 in regular. At list price the Ping is $30 cheaper, $599 against $629.
If forgiveness is the priority, or the budget matters, the Ping G440 Max is the pick. It costs less and its category is built for golfers who miss the center. If you strike it consistently and want a players distance profile with a stiff stock shaft option, the TaylorMade Qi35 fits better. Feel between the two comes down to personal preference, and neither loft range gives one an edge. Pick the G440 Max for stability and price. Pick the Qi35 for a higher-launching, distance-first head with more shaft choice.
