If you’re shopping for a new driver in 2025, there are a lot of great options. While we always recommend to know which driver is best for you, sometimes it helps to know how one driver compares to another. We looked at the Callaway Elyte driver versus the TaylorMade Qi35 and compared them head to head.

Distance

The Callaway Elyte scored 8.9/10 for distance in the best driver testing. Its average total driver distance was 248.85 yards. The TaylorMade Qi35 was about two yards longer at 250.07.

When compared side by side, the Qi35 generally posts higher ball speeds, about one mile per hour faster than the Elyte. Its spin rate was slightly higher than Elyte’s but still produced a solid rollout. If you’re specifically looking for distance, the Qi35 has a slight edge.

Distance is a big part of finding the right driver so the distance performance kept the Qi35 in the top 15 drivers of 2025.

Accuracy

The accuracy scores for the Callaway Elyte and TaylorMade Qi35 were almost identical. Out of 37 drivers, they finished just inside the top 20 with the Callaway Elyte having a slight edge. Some testers mentioned that the Callaway Elyte produced very few big misses.

We’re opening up another phenomenal testing opportunity for our Forum members, this time focused on the new L.A.B. Golf OZ.1i and OZ.1 putters. We will be selecting eight testers who will be divided into Team Insert and Team Non-Insert. Each tester will receive either the OZ.1i, which features a stainless steel face insert, or the recently released OZ.1, which uses a full milled aluminum face. These two designs look nearly identical but L.A.B. believes the insert makes a meaningful difference. Now it’s time to see if our community agrees.

About the L.A.B. OZ.1i Putter

The OZ.1i is a departure from the more unorthodox shapes L.A.B. Golf is known for. Developed in part with Adam Scott, the OZ.1 has a more traditional mallet appearance while still being a fully Lie Angle Balanced putter. That design concept is central to L.A.B.’s philosophy, aiming to reduce torque and let the putter head stay square through impact without manipulation.

The big story with the OZ.1i is the milled stainless steel insert. According to L.A.B., it is firmer than aluminum and increases ball speed off the face. The aim is to deliver more speed and feedback, especially on longer putts, while still maintaining the balance and feel players expect from L.A.B. designs.

Also worth noting are the shaft lean options. Golfers can choose between a zero-degree lean, which works with traditional grips, or a two-degree forward lean, which pairs with L.A.B.’s Press Grips. This choice gives golfers more flexibility when fitting the putter to their stroke.
