Players Distance Driver

The Qi35 is TaylorMade's 2025 driver for golfers who want distance without giving up the look and feel of a more compact head. It carries the full 460cc footprint, so there's plenty of forgiveness behind the ball, but it's tuned to launch high and hold its line rather than spin out of control. If you played the Qi10 and liked it, this is the natural next step.

What makes this one interesting is the high-launch setup paired with an adjustable hosel. You can dial loft and lie to get the ball flight you actually want, then let the size of the head do the forgiving on off-center hits. It's not a tiny tour driver that punishes you for missing the sweet spot, and it's not a pure game-improvement bomber either. It sits in between.

Most players who pick this up are looking for one thing: more carry with a flight they can trust. The Qi35 delivers that without forcing you into a draw bias or a stripped-down shape. It launches easy, and the adjustability means you can fine-tune it as your swing changes through the season.

• You swing at moderate speed and need help getting the ball up and carrying it farther.
• You want a full 460cc head for forgiveness but still care how the driver looks at address.
• Your current driver flights too low and you keep losing distance to a flat trajectory.
• You like to tinker with loft and lie settings to fine-tune your ball flight.
• You played the Qi10 or an older TaylorMade driver and want a high-launch upgrade in the same family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the TaylorMade Qi35 good for slower swing speeds?

Yes. The high-launch design is built to get the ball airborne quickly, which is exactly what slower and moderate swing speeds need to maximize carry. The 460cc head adds forgiveness on mishits, so you keep more distance on the strikes you don't catch flush.

How adjustable is the Qi35 driver?

It has an adjustable hosel that lets you change loft and lie. You can raise loft to launch higher and add carry, or lower it to bring down a flight that climbs too much. That adjustability is what makes the high-launch setup work for a range of swings.

What is the difference between the Qi35 and the Qi10?

The Qi35 is the 2025 follow-up to the 2024 Qi10. It keeps the same 460cc forgiving platform but moves to a high-launch tuning, so if your Qi10 felt a touch low for you, the Qi35 is set up to get the ball up more easily.

Is the Qi35 a forgiving driver?

It is. The full 460cc head is the most stable size allowed under the rules, which means off-center hits hold their speed and direction better than they would on a smaller head. It's forgiving without looking like a bulky game-improvement driver at address.

Who should not buy the Qi35?

If you already launch the ball very high and fight a ballooning flight, the high-launch build may not be your best match, though you can lower the loft to help. Players chasing the lowest possible spin and a compact tour shape might prefer a lower-launching model in the lineup instead.
