Taylormade Qi35 vs Qi10: Worth The Upgrade?

In this video, we put the new TaylorMade Qi35 driver lineup to the test against last year’s Qi10. We also hit the Qi35 Max and Qi35 LS to see how they stack up in terms of forgiveness, spin, and performance. With features like higher MOI and a lower CG, the Qi35 promises improvements—but do the numbers back it up?

What we tested:

Distance and dispersion data for Qi35 vs Qi10.
Forgiveness of the Qi35 Max and low-spin performance of the Qi35 LS.
How the Qi35 performs on mishits compared to its predecessor.
Whether the Qi35 lineup feels like a true upgrade for golfers.
Watch until the end for the final data and our honest take on whether the Qi35 lineup is worth upgrading to.

Thanks for watching the video Taylormade Qi35 vs Qi10: Worth The Upgrade?

[jluke]

I love how driver comparison videos always start with the old model and then go to the new model. Surprising that once you’re warmed up you start hitting it better…

[asdfasdfasdf]

I must say…TM comes out with awesome drivers from time to time. This one looks promising to be one of the greats.

[stephenharrison]

First place I come for club reviews I wish I was closer to get a club fitting by your self keep smashing it dude

[StevenLee]

Sweet looking driver! They nailed it. Can’t wait for the driver tournament. I think it’s coming down between Cobra and TaylorMade

[robertbeato]

Want one but really want to see this “deep gloss” black designer version out in March as I the qi10 crown

[ryanblackgolf]

I must say your launch angle in the Max version was better. The ideal range is typically between 10-14 degrees. I believe with previous heads you were around 8-9. Really enjoyed this video.

[bobbygoodman]

Love you show and really love your golf swing!!!

[TheBam]

Well, I just subscribed, and I can say not disappointed. Great video. Even though I'm left-handed we have very similar numbers with ball and swing.

[wnfakind]

Would love to see a SiM2 max vs the Qi35 !!!

[jollyx]

Awesome videos man! Would love to see this comparison for the Cobra Drivers and if its worth the upgrade.

[coopertyler]

Some genuine stat improvements with this driver…more than I expected.

[uNkLeRaRa]

Its like a PxG Gen 5 had a three-way with a Paradym Smoke and Cobra Darkspeed... And I'm not upset about it.. 💦

[vincerogers]

Great review Brandon curious im the same size as you not same swing speed but close i just switched to a jumbo grip on my driver have you tried a jumbo grip or what size do you find comfortable?

[gregschulte]

In othe words, if you own the 10-keep it. Kind of like the Paradym from Callaway - it's as good for the average golfer than the newer models. This is why the mini drivers are getting the marketing dollars as they're not competing head to head w/driver.

[RCGolf]

If your standard deviations overlap that means you have no actual difference. You would have to hit dozens more shots to try and get some separation.

[annefilippobertozzi]

Really happy that new clubs are launched every year.
So I can shop every 5, buy the previous year model that’s just the same of the latest, and save 150/200$…

[mpkelley]

I hit this on Saturday and my Qi10 was still the better fit for me. I do like the design but without any improvement, it is not a needed upgrade. Maybe more time with it and I would see some improvements but I am bombing my Qi10 so I really do not want to change anything.

Only thing about your results that seem off are the launch angles on the Qi35....either you have a different degree head, have the shaft set differently or something else is going on. that is a pretty significant drop in the angle from 10 ish down to 8ish. Just looks strange and not sure what is causing it if it wasn't your swing. Maybe seeing the AOA on those hits might help.

[BrandonChoranziak]

Hey Brandon, you think I should upgrade to the qi35 head from my stealth 2 plus head, but keep the shaft?

[armin]

Seems that in every review, the standard is more forgiving AND just as low spin as the LS.

[Bech]

Honestly, it feels like being spat in the face and being fine about it. The prices for absolute minimal gain in performance (that might be reversed any other day) is horrific :D
