With its weighting slightly forward in a more midsize shape, this model will attract players wanting the control of an iron with appealing higher launch and increased ball speed.
Designed for golfers with more of a downward angle of attack at impact.
The light, carbon-composite crown saves mass for a forward sole weight that lowers the centre of gravity to promote more speed off the face.

Qi4D Max
This larger-profile head uses an 8-gram weight in the rear for added stability and higher dynamic loft, a benefit for players with inconsistent contact looking for forgiveness and height.
The design targets players who prefer a small, fairway-wood shape and hit hybrids with a sweeping swing.
The sole channel extends toward the toe and heel to enhance ball speed on impacts low on the face.

Qi4D Max Lite
Oversized and with a draw bias like the Max, this model has a lighter shaft and head to increase speed for slower swingers.
About 18 grams lighter than the Max, including a 45-gram shaft, its D-0 swingweight makes for easier use for average to below-average speeds.
A low-profile face adds confidence and helps less-skilled golfers make better contact.
The sole channel extends farther toward the toe and the heel to create more ball speed on impacts lower on the clubface.
