Wood Options & Stock Shafts

Tour Fairway Wood

TaylorMade aimed the Qi35 Tour Fairway at players who already hit fairway woods well and want the ball to do what they tell it. This is not a club engineered around forgiveness or high launch. Spin is lower, the head profile is more compact, and better ball-strikers will find it more predictable than the standard Qi35 Fairway from tee to approach.

The Tour label matters here. TaylorMade tuned this head for a flight that holds through wind rather than climbing into it, and for a level of workability that lets you bend a shot when the hole demands it. Players who regularly miss the center of the face will find the standard Qi35 Fairway more cooperative. Those who hit it clean often enough to notice the difference in ball behavior will prefer what the Tour version does.

Adjustability is included through TaylorMade's hosel sleeve, so you're not locked into a single launch window once you buy it. That flexibility is useful when you're trying to close the gap between your driver and your long irons, or dial in a specific low-flight approach off the tee on a tight par four.

• Single-digit handicap players who want a fairway wood that rewards clean contact with consistent trajectory and shot shape, not just added forgiveness.
• Golfers who play in windy conditions or on firm courses and need a low-flight option that holds its line rather than ballooning and losing control.
• Anyone who has outgrown high-launch fairway woods and wants a tour-spec option with loft adjustability already built in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Qi35 Tour Fairway compare to the standard Qi35 Fairway?

The Tour version has a more compact head shape and is tuned for lower spin and a more penetrating flight. It rewards clean contact more than the standard Qi35, which is built to launch high and be forgiving for a wider range of players. Better ball-strikers tend to get tighter dispersion and more useful feedback from the Tour version. Players who miss the face regularly will be better served by the standard model.

Is the Qi35 Tour Fairway adjustable?

Yes. It uses TaylorMade's standard hosel sleeve, which lets you move loft within the available range for your specific head configuration. You need TaylorMade's torque wrench to make the change. Adjusting loft will slightly alter face angle as well, so test any new setting on the range before locking it in.

What lofts does the Qi35 Tour Fairway come in?

TaylorMade typically offers the Qi35 Tour Fairway in 3-wood (15°) and 5-wood (18°) configurations. The hosel sleeve adds a small window of loft adjustment above and below the stated loft. Availability in specific options can vary by retailer and region.

How does the Qi35 Tour Fairway perform off tight lies?

It handles firm fairways and tight lies better than most high-launch fairway woods. The sole geometry and lower spin profile give it a cleaner entry through short grass. Players who compete on links-style courses or play summer conditions where the turf runs firm tend to find it more predictable than the standard Qi35 in those situations.

Who should consider the standard Qi35 Fairway instead?

Golfers with higher handicaps or inconsistent ballstriking, or anyone who regularly struggles to launch fairway woods at all. The Tour model is less forgiving and demands a cleaner contact point to deliver its best results. For most amateur golfers, the standard Qi35 Fairway will produce more distance and more consistent misses.
