Looking to learn what you need to know about the latest new products from TaylorMade? These handy thumbnails will keep you up to date on the company’s new releases across all club and ball catetgories.
TaylorMade Qi4D drivers: The new TaylorMade Qi4D family of drivers (Qi4D, Qi4D Max, Qi4D Max Lite, Qi4D LS) aim to manage the complicated challenges of faster ball speed mixed with forgiveness and aerodynamic speed. It’s a mean feat, but the company’s lineup of clubs all feature a newly designed variable face thickness pattern in the fifth generation of industry-first carbon composite face, coupled with optimized face curvature for consistent spin and directional control. A new ultra-lightweight structure (completely titanium-free) in its oversized, super-forgiving Max/Max Lite models and an ultra-low-spin push in its LS heads occupy two ends of the spectrum, while the meat of the market is the full-service standard Qi4D model. It offers a tour-influenced shape with forgiveness and speed average golfers also can appreciate. Across the entire Qi4D lineup is a new shaft-fitting regimen that simplifies the choice to one of three profiles based on how a golfer rotates the club down to the ball at impact. $650. Available for pre-order Jan. 8. At retail Jan. 29.
TaylorMade Qi4D fairway woods, hybrid: TaylorMade’s Qi4D fairway woods and hybrids are built around refinement, not reinvention. The lineup leans into cleaner shaping, more precise center-of-gravity placement, and a noticeable expansion of adjustability in clubs that have traditionally offered very little of it. Multimaterial construction—combining carbon fiber with steel, titanium and tungsten—allows TaylorMade to fine-tune launch, spin and forgiveness by model rather than forcing golfers into one-size-fits-all performance.
What ultimately separates Qi4D is how clearly the lineup is segmented. Tour models prioritize launch control and shot-shaping, standard Qi4D balances versatility and playability and Max/Max Lite options push stability and speed for golfers who need help launching the ball or maintaining ball speed on mishits. The same philosophy carries into the hybrids, which use progressive shaping and weighting to create reliable long-iron replacements that hit repeatable numbers and land with control. Qi4D, Qi4D Max, Qi4D Lite $380, Qi4D Tour $450. Qi4D Rescue, Qi4D Max Rescue, Qi4D Max Lite Rescue $300. Available for pre-order Jan. 8. At retail Jan. 29.
TaylorMade Qi Max, Qi Max HL irons: TaylorMade introduces its first game-improvement and super-game-improvement iron in two years with the Qi Max and Qi Max HL. The irons place an emphasis on feel as research by the company shows that attribute rising on the hierarchy of player desires in an iron. $157 per club in steel. In stores on Jan. 29.
