Head to head · irons · 2025
No video that tested both picked a winner — all 2 rated them evenly. That is the answer, not a gap in the data: these are two versions of the same club, and the choice is about your miss. The clearest split is slice: 6 of 10 say the Qi Irons helps, against none of 5 for the G440 Irons.

Strong consensus · TaylorMade · iron · 2024 · 10 reviews
TaylorMade’s Qi irons deliver exceptional ball speed, strong forgiveness, and impressive anti-slice correction that helps square the face on miss-hits, landing a solid 82 median score across reviews. However, testers split over the bulky aesthetics and excessive offset, while noting that low spin rates make holding greens a challenge and strong lofts complicate distance gapping.

How this page is made: each reviewer’s verdict, sentiment, score and launch numbers are machine-extracted from their video — summarised, not quoted word for word — and “How to choose” and each intro are machine-written from those. Head-to-head records count only reviewers who tested both clubs — we never infer a winner from two separate reviews. We have not tested these products ourselves.
