The TaylorMade Qi4D Max and the TaylorMade Qi4D share a lot on paper. Both are 460cc heads with an adjustable hosel, both carry a High Launch tag, and both list at $649. The split is category and loft. The Qi4D Max is a game improvement driver offered in 9°, 10.5° and 12°, with a Fujikura Ventus Blue 5 regular shaft or an Aldila Ascent 45 senior shaft as stock. The Qi4D is a players distance driver with four lofts, adding an 8° head, and it comes stock with a Ventus Blue 6 stiff or a Ventus Blue 5 regular. The Max suits golfers who want the most forgiveness or who need the senior shaft option. The Qi4D suits faster swings that fight spin and want a lower loft with a stiff shaft out of the box.
Price is a wash at $649, so let the swing decide. Pick the Qi4D Max if forgiveness matters most or your speed is moderate. Pick the Qi4D if you generate plenty of speed, spin too much, and want the 8° option. Either can be tuned through the hosel, but the category gap in forgiveness and spin is the real tiebreaker.
