Golf Digest Hot List Gold winner that Golf Monthly called 'the perfect golf club' — the Infinity Carbon Crown, Speed Pocket, and adjustable hosel deliver a fairway wood so good it made reviewers question whether improvement was possible.
The TaylorMade Qi35 earned a Golf Digest Hot List Gold medal and one of the most effusive reviews in Golf Monthly's history — 'I didn't think the perfect golf club existed until I hit this one.' Released in early 2025, the Qi35 quickly became the fairway wood to beat, with a 98% recommendation rate on TaylorMade.com and near-universal praise from expert reviewers. It delivers 156 mph ball speed, 255 yards carry, and 3,259 rpm spin from the fairway — elite numbers wrapped in a sound and feel that multiple reviewers compared to classic persimmon woods.
The core of the Qi35 is TaylorMade's proven technology stack: Twist Face for mishit correction, Infinity Carbon Crown for CG optimization, and a Thru-Slot Speed Pocket that stretches longer into the toe for a more flexible face. The biggest upgrade over the Qi10 is the addition of an adjustable hosel (±2° on the 3W, 3HL, and 5W), giving golfers meaningful loft and lie customization. Available in four lofts from 15° to 21°, with the three-model lineup (Qi35, Qi35 Max, Qi35 LS) covering every player profile.
Now that the Qi4D has launched, the Qi35 represents exceptional value. At $350, it undercuts most 2026 flagships by $30-100 while delivering performance that's within a few yards of the best 2026 fairway woods. The main reason to choose the Qi4D over the Qi35 is the improved adjustability (4° hosel in all lofts) and the closure-rate shaft system. If those features don't matter to you, the Qi35 is the smart buy.
