TaylorMade has pushed aesthetics into the future with the Qi35 line, focusing on lowering the center of gravity to fix launch issues in high-MOI heads. While the LS is the standout performer for speed, the Standard and Max models are so low-spinning that many golfers will need to 'Loft Up' to see peak results.
Their scorecard
Forgiveness: 5/5 — 10k MOI with better CG
Distance: 5/5 — Longest and most accurate for Rick
Looks: 5/5 — Space Age and futuristic
Sound & Feel: 4/5 — More 'poppy' than Qi10
What they rate
Incredible 'Space Age' industrial design
Improved feel and 'pop' off the carbon face compared to Qi10
Innovative fitting heads with built-in reflective dots for GCQuad
Lowered CG profile prevents the 'ballooning' or low-launch spin issues of old high-MOI heads
What they don’t
Design is extremely polarizing and may be 'too much' for traditionalists
Stock spin rates on the Max and Standard models are surprisingly low
High MOI benefits are somewhat negated if you don't use enough loft
