The Taylormade Qi35 is one of the latest driver releases for 2025 and is the current gamer driver of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Grant Horvat, Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda. There’s a chance it will be the best new driver this year and if you’d like to see it compared to others models on the market, be sure to let me know!

get well brotha, health first
Dude ….. Qi35 or GT2?
This isn’t new, TM put this same tech in the SLDR. The name is horrendous.
another banger
Excellent presentation skill, you're clearly very comfortable in front of a camera. Refreshing to see, well done.
Nice video. Enjoyed it more than some of the other “big” channels. Your summary at the end … 💯
Let’s see a comp between Qi10LS and Qi35LS. Since the core model Qi10 beat out the core model Qi35!
Awesome video. You and Ian Fraser give the best insights into equipment imo. Would love to see you try the 10.5 degree core model. Maybe kick that launch and spin up a tick. Can't wait for the fitting video!
I like the qi35 but the gt2 ball speed/ forgiveness is unbeatable imo
IMO you hit the Qi10 9 Core (first driver) the best
Love your reviews…but honestly man, your shouting, just speak to the camera, we can hear you.
So the real answer is its a stupid name
what happened to your ball speed? you should be at 165+ and not around 150…
I need spin & i like the size & shape of the QI10 core
they screwed up the headshape, the core last year was perfect.
That LS looks incredible and you smoked it. Total drive would be 10 yds longest.
For some reason the qi35 core feels harsher and harder to hit than the ls to me. The ls feels better and spins just as much if not more too. Very interesting
Game Qi10 max @ 8.25. Yes the head was big but not anymore the Core model stole it's footprint.
Drop the fitting video asap! 😂 I’ll be getting one based on the results of that vid lol
IMO the drivers are all maxed out so I’m gonna buy purely on how it looks. Sometimes I just want a new toy.
I believe TaylorMade has figured out something that most companies don't. But just don't take my words for it, TaylorMade has made something more futuristic like Dark Vader. It looks so sickly awesome. TaylorMade has improved much more before than the previous year.
Mate hope you get through whatever health issues you’re going through. Be well 💙💙💙
Always the best reviews! You just dig into the data that we all want to hear and not getting over wordy. Class act reviews as always.
What if you put the weight forward in the core head?
Would you advise lofting up on your preferred model?
Pretty low Carry numbers ya got there.
Hoping for a speedy recover! For the core and LS would love to see some numbers when you move the TAS weights around
I usually thoroughly test and get fitted for all the clubs I am interested in before I make a new purchase. Last week, I foolishly sold my Qi10 core model before I tested the Qi35 core model based on looks and the fact that I love TM drivers. Today, I repurchased a new Qi10 after testing and disliking the Qi35 core model. The Qi35 looks closed at the address position and doesn't sound or feel as good as the Qi10, in my opinion. It was a costly mistake; at least I have a beautiful new Qi10!!
tik tok and instagram bah no thanks
I swing speed is 90 mph 11 handicap which head would you recommend.
I’m currently gaming the Qi10 max and hit a lot of straight balls with it. The problem is, more than a few like to balloon up in the air. During my fitting, I hit the Qi10 standard further on average, but went with the max due to being enamored with my dispersion (left and right).
My question – with the lower spin numbers on the Qi35 heads, did you notice much difference in your left and right dispersion compared to the Qi10?
I wish they’d have used a similar color scheme used on the crown for the head cover. That space suit head cover is hideous. 😑
Nice presentation, subscribed.
whats your driver swing speed?
What's going on with your health if you don't mind? I lost my speed from 175 to 150 after COVID
