The TaylorMade Qi4D and the Qi4D Max share almost everything on paper. Both list the same four lofts, 3W 15°, 5W 18°, 7W 21° and 9W 24°. Both have an adjustable hosel, both are tagged High Launch, and both carry a $350 MSRP. What separates them is the category each one is built for. The Qi4D is a players distance fairway wood, aimed at golfers who already strike it well and want to shape shots. The Qi4D Max is a game improvement fairway wood, so forgiveness on off center strikes takes priority. The Qi4D comes with the Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 in stiff or the Ventus Blue 5 in regular. The Qi4D Max ships with the Aldila Ascent 50 in regular or the Ascent 45 in senior, so it covers players who need help generating speed.
Pick the Qi4D Max unless you know you do not need the help. At the same price, the extra forgiveness costs nothing, and the regular and senior shaft options fit a wider range of swing speeds. Choose the Qi4D if you swing fast enough for a stiff Ventus Blue 6, find the center consistently, and would rather trade forgiveness for control over flight and spin. With identical lofts and identical pricing, feel and shaft fit should decide this one.
