Tour Driver

The Qi35 LS is TaylorMade's low-spin driver for 2025, and the LS badge tells you almost everything you need to know before you hit a ball. This is the head built for players who deliver a lot of speed and want to keep spin down, not the one built to bail you out on a heel strike. At 440cc it sits smaller than the standard Qi35, which is exactly what a lot of better players want to see at address.

Think of it as the tour player's driver in the family. TaylorMade moved the center of gravity forward and low to knock spin off the shot, which is what produces that flatter, more penetrating flight low-spin players chase. If your driver spin numbers are already living in the 2,600 to 3,000 rpm range and you're leaking distance to a ballooning ball flight, this is the head aimed at you.

The tradeoff is real and TaylorMade doesn't hide from it. A forward, low CG gives up some forgiveness compared to the standard Qi35 or the max-forgiveness model. Miss the center and you'll feel it more than you would with a bigger, more stable head. That's the deal you sign up for when you buy low spin, and for the right player it's worth every yard.

• Faster swingers who generate too much spin and want a flatter, more penetrating flight
• Better players comfortable with a 440cc head who value shot control over maximum forgiveness
• Anyone whose current driver launches high and spins in the high 2,000s to low 3,000s and is losing distance to it
• Players who want to fine-tune loft, face angle, and shot shape through the adjustable sleeve and movable weight
• Golfers willing to commit to a fitting to get the most out of a low-spin design

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Qi35 LS and the standard Qi35?

The LS is the low-spin model. It has a smaller 440cc head with the weight positioned forward to cut spin, which produces a flatter flight but gives up some forgiveness. The standard Qi35 is larger, more forgiving, and spins more. If you already spin too much and swing fast, the LS is the move. If you want stability on mishits, go standard.

Is the Qi35 LS too much driver for a mid handicapper?

For most mid handicappers, yes. The 440cc low-spin head demands a more consistent strike to see its benefit, and a lot of mid handicappers don't spin enough to need spin taken off in the first place. If your driver spin is genuinely high and your contact is solid, it can work. Otherwise the standard Qi35 will give you more of what you actually need.

How adjustable is the Qi35 LS?

It has an adjustable loft sleeve for tuning launch and face angle, plus movable weighting to shift the bias toward neutral or draw. That gives you a useful range to dial in a fitting rather than living with a single stock setting. Because it's a low-spin head, spend the time on a launch monitor to find the setting that matches your delivery.

Will the Qi35 LS lower my spin?

That's what it's built to do. The forward center of gravity in the 440cc head reduces backspin compared to the standard Qi35 and the more forgiving models in the line. How much depends on your swing, but low-spin players typically see a few hundred rpm come off, which flattens the flight and can add rollout when spin was costing them distance.

Does the Qi35 LS replace the Qi10 LS?

Yes. The Qi35 LS is the 2025 successor to the Qi10 LS and fills the same low-spin, tour role in the lineup. If you're gaming the Qi10 LS and happy with it, the Qi35 LS is the natural upgrade to test, though whether it's worth switching comes down to what the numbers say in a fitting.

Is the TaylorMade Qi35 LS driver good for high handicappers?

No. The TaylorMade Qi35 LS is a tour design aimed at better ball strikers. Its category typically suits 0 to 8 handicaps. High handicappers will find a game improvement model more forgiving.
