\"\"<\/p>\n

January 8, 2026 \u2013 <\/em>TaylorMade Golf<\/strong> has announced the release of the Qi4D family of fairway woods and hybrids. Through the use of advanced multimaterial construction, cutting-edge design refinements and Tour-proven technologies, the new line of Qi4D fairways and hybrids positions TaylorMade at the forefront of technological innovation and performance in both the fairway woods and hybrids categories.<\/p>\n

\n

“The Qi4D lineup of fairway woods and hybrids is a result of our relentless pursuit of industry-leading performance. Through the use of multimaterial construction, subtle refinements, optimised CG locations, and more adjustability than ever before, Qi4D fairway woods and hybrids pave the way for golfers to experience a heightened level of playability and versatility at the top end of their bag,\u201d <\/em>said Brian Bazzel<\/strong>, Vice President of Product Creation of the company.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Qi4D fairway woods and hybrids will be available for preorder on January 8th and available at retail locations on January 29th.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tour-Proven Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

For more than a decade, TaylorMade fairway woods have been the most played on the PGA TOUR (*). That trend continued in 2025, and TaylorMade fairway woods were in the bags of all four major championship winners including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler who won the PGA and Open Championships, and Rory McIlroy, who completed the career Grand Slam at Augusta.<\/p>\n

It Worked Before, Now It\u2019s Even Better<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a company that\u2019s always working to lead the way in technology, innovation and performance, TaylorMade has taken what\u2019s already a proven recipe with fairway woods and made a number of refinements in the Qi4D line.<\/p>\n

In the family, golfers will benefit from finely tuned sit points and ultra-clean address profiles, optimised CG locations, additional Trajectory Adjustment System (TAS) weights, and more adjustability options than ever before.<\/p>\n

Qi4D fairway woods also employ proven TaylorMade technologies. An improved cut-through Speed Pocket protects ball speeds and reduces spin on low-face strikes. Twist Face utilises corrective face curvature for tightening downrange dispersion on mis-hits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Material Advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n

TaylorMade engineers combined cutting-edge design techniques with premium materials to create the Qi4D line of fairway woods. Each of the four heads in the Qi4D family utilises advanced multimaterial construction. Qi4D Tour fairway woods employ a titanium face and body, a carbon fibre crown, and a 65g tungsten mass pad to deliver optimised speed, forgiveness and playability. Qi4D and Qi4D Max fairway woods have steel faces and bodies and carbon fibre crowns.<\/p>\n

Fit For Your Game<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adjustability was at the forefront when the TaylorMade design team and engineers conceptualised the family of Qi4D fairway woods. The incorporation of TAS weights in fairway woods allows both fitters and golfers easy adjustability to dial in their spin and shot shape.<\/p>\n

Additionally, TaylorMade is incorporating a 4\u00b0 loft sleeve in more fairway wood heads than ever before (including all lofts in Qi4D and Qi4D Tour) adding yet another layer of adjustability and customisation for loft, lie angle and face angle.<\/p>\n

TaylorMade has leveraged Mitsubishi Chemical\u2019s industry-leading material expertise and production processes to create the REAX line of fairway wood shafts that cumulatively give golfers of all abilities a wide variety of applications fit for their swing.<\/p>\n

TAYLORMADE Qi4D Fairway Woods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on extensive Tour feedback, Qi4D fairway wood heads (185cc) feature tucked protrusions in the heel and toe and refined sit points. These features create a Tour-inspired shape to maintain tighter ball speed variances across the face, but offer a confidence-inducing profile in the address position as well. Coupled with a face that sits slightly more open, a lie angle that\u2019s flatter than the previous model, and optimised CG location, Qi4D fairway woods deliver the ultimate blend of distance, control and versatility.<\/p>\n

An 8g TAS weight allows golfers to optimise spin and launch in the most mass efficient way possible. Additionally, 4\u00b0 loft sleeves are found in all lofts and allow golfers to fully customise loft, lie angle and face angle to their specific needs.<\/p>\n

Qi4D fairway woods will sell for \u20ac399.<\/p>\n

    TAYLORMADE Qi4D Tour Fairway Woods<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Qi4D Tour fairway woods (175cc) employ advanced multimaterial construction. A 65g tungsten mass pad sits low and directly behind the titanium face where it promotes high launch and lower spin which result in shots that come off hot and maximise carry distance. The sole of the club is titanium and the crown is carbon which allows for added discretionary weight.<\/p>\n

    Qi4D Tour fairway woods utilise three TAS weights (15g x1 \/ 4g x2) giving golfers the ability to more precisely optimise ball flight. With the heavy weight in the back, golfers experience added stability. Placing the heavy weight in the toe promotes fade bias, and putting the heavy weight in the heel encourages draw bias.<\/p>\n

    All Qi4D Tour heads include a 4\u00b0 loft sleeve which allows golfers full customisation with the ability to dial in loft, lie angle and face angle.<\/p>\n

      TAYLORMADE Qi4D Max and Max Lite Fairway Woods<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Qi4D Max and Qi4D Max Lite fairway woods are all about forgiveness with their 200cc heads and shallow face profile. The large head size allowed TaylorMade engineers to push weight to the perimeter of the club which boosts overall stability, helps maintain ball speed, and promotes tighter downrange dispersion on mis-hits. The rearward orientation of a reshaped 8g TAS weight (in Qi4D Max) and 4g TAS weight (in Qi4D Max Lite) concentrates mass in the back of the head which also increases MOI for enhanced stability and forgiveness.<\/p>\n

      Qi4D Max Lite fairway woods are perfect for golfers looking to maximise clubhead speed and carry distance. Their ultralight spec package includes the line\u2019s lightest heads, shaft and grip.<\/p>\n

      Qi4D Max and Qi4D Max Lite 3- and 5-woods employ a 4\u00b0 loft sleeve giving golfers more adjustability for loft, lie angle and face angle.<\/p>\n

      Qi4D Max and Qi4D Max Lite fairway woods will sell for \u20ac399.<\/p>\n

            TAYLORMADE Qi4D Hybrids<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \"\"<\/p>\n

            Like Qi4D fairway woods, Qi4D hybrids employ multimaterial construction. Coupled with optimised CG locations, proven TaylorMade technologies like a cut-through Speed Pocket and Twist Face, REAX shafts formulated in conjunction with KBS, and ample adjustability. Qi4D hybrids collectively represent the ideal long iron replacements for golfers of all abilities.<\/p>\n

            All Qi4D hybrids are available to consumers for \u20ac349.<\/p>\n

            Progressive Top Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Qi4D hybrids incorporate a progressive top line, similar to what\u2019s found in TaylorMade\u2019s P\u00b7Series and Qi Max irons. Golfers will notice a slightly thinner top line Qi4D hybrids, and a slightly thicker top line in Qi4D Max and Qi4D Max Lite hybrids. Along with a refined sight dash, each of the hybrids in the Qi4D line is more visually inviting at address.<\/p>\n

            TAYLORMADE Qi4D Rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Qi4D hybrids employ multimaterial construction which combines 450 stainless steel and a carbon fibre crown to create the perfect balance of distance, forgiveness, versatility and control. The construction is designed to hit specific carry yardages with a steep angle of descent making it easier for golfers to hold the green.<\/p>\n

            All lofts also incorporate an 8g TAS weight and 3\u00b0 loft sleeve giving golfers unparalleled options for adjustability and customisation. The mid positioning of the TAS weight also balances the CG for optimised flight and workability.<\/p>\n

            Qi4D Rescue Specs<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Lofts: <\/strong>2-hybrid (17\u00b0 ((RH only)), 3-hybrid (19\u00b0), 4-hybrid (22\u00b0), 5-hybrid (25\u00b0)<\/li>\n

              TAYLORMADE Qi4D Max Rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Qi4D Max hybrids are ideal for golfers looking for more forgiveness and high launch. The larger head size inspires confidence at address. An 8g TAS weight is strategically positioned farther back in the head where it creates higher MOI for added forgiveness. Coupled with a lightweight carbon crown and golfers benefit from added stability and higher launch.<\/p>\n

                TAYLORMADE Qi4D Max Lite Rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n

                For golfers looking to maximise clubhead speed, the Qi4D Max Lite is the answer. The ultralight spec package includes the lightest head, shaft and grip options in the family. The women\u2019s offering is 32g lighter than the Qi4D Max hybrid.<\/p>\n

                A 4g TAS weight is positioned rearward in the clubhead where it promotes higher MOI and more forgiveness. Just like Qi4D Max hybrids, the Qi4D Max Lite heads employ a lightweight carbon crown and larger head size which maximise stability while also aiding in high launch.<\/p>\n
