The new TaylorMade Qi35 fairway wood is powered by an all-new Chromium Carbon material that has allowed TaylorMade to save weight and deliver better performance in the TaylorMade Qi35 fairway wood series. Meanwhile, TaylorMade Qi35 replaces TaylorMade Qi10, which was the company’s 2024 fairway wood series. The TaylorMade Qi10 fairway woods, meanwhile, featured an Infinity Carbon Crown, which aimed to lighten the crown and also deliver saved weight to increase MOI.

Drew, How long has ron burgundy's kid been working with you at 2nd Swing?
Rory Mcllroy Qi10 driver, Qi10 3 wood, Qi10 5 wood. Bottom line, Taylormade didn't make any significant improvements.
The core qi35 driver and fairways are honestly amazing and I can’t recommend them enough. I’ve been in the qi10 ls driver and tour fairways because I spin it a bit to high and hit it a bit to far left but I’ve been fitted into a core qi35 with weight forward and 10.5 playing 8.5 to open the face and the extra stability in a low spin anti left club has been a revelation. Also fitted into core fairways lofted down to open the face and I’ve not hit fairways so straight in a long time. I can never understand why the lower spin options are more adjustable than standard heads because a lot more golfers fit into a core club and making that fit more people just seems like common sense
Spraying that QI35. Stick with the QI10
I feel that fitters make stuff up as they go……!!!! best shot he says!!! Spin rate at 2800 his goal 3500rpm… Qi35 nowhere near fitters target
Just FYI – lowering the loft on a taylormade sleeve increases the lie angle…it doesn’t decrease (flatten) it.
Qi10 was the clear winner there, all over the place with the Qi35 not something you want with a fairway wood.
Why do these OEMs switch back and forth between offering adjustable fariway woods, then non-adjustable the following year, and repeat…?
