The TaylorMade Qi35 drivers are here, and if you’re considering upgrading to one, this is a must-read. While our in-depth First Look article covers every detail of this release, we’ve condensed that information into the seven key takeaways you need to know.

TaylorMade’s new philosophy: “10K Doesn’t Matter”

We have to start with what seems like the most surprising aspect of this release. TaylorMade has now said the 10,000 MOI (moment of inertia) is not necessarily the full story.

TaylorMade acknowledges that while high MOI is beneficial, it must be paired with the right launch and spin conditions to unlock maximum performance. For example, the Qi35 Max retains its 10,000 MOI but reduces spin by 200 RPM, striking a better balance for stability and distance.

MOI alone isn’t enough to maximize performance.

With this new look at MOI, the TaylorMade Qi35 lineup should be more versatile. The drivers will cater to players looking for a mix of forgiveness, accuracy, and distance.

I don’t know what it is about copper and golf equipment but it’s definitely a thing.

As far as pretty much anyone remembers, PING started it with their beryllium copper wedges and while they don’t make ‘em like that anymore, we’ve still got copper underlays, faux-copper finishes on irons and wedges and even hints of copper on a few mini drivers.

My point is that, for whatever reason, golfers love copper.
