TaylorMade Golf has today announced the release of Qi35 fairway woods and hybrids.

Like never before, Qi35 fairway woods allow golfers to unlock another level of optimization through the incorporation of 4° loft sleeves in all 3-woods and 5-woods and the Qi35 Tour 7-wood.

Qi35 fairway woods are packed with proven TaylorMade technologies like Twist Face, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, and an Infinity Carbon Crown. These same technologies made TaylorMade fairway woods the most played on the PGA Tour in 2024. All Qi35 fairway woods utilize multi-material construction that optimizes mass placement in design for maximum performance in a way that seamlessly blends form and function.

Qi35 Tour 7-wood

Qi35 fairway woods and hybrids will be available for preorder starting January 7th at TaylorMadeGolf.com and available for purchase at worldwide retail locations starting Jan.30.

“We want to be the leaders in fit. For this year, the question became how can we put loft sleeves in fairway woods without losing face performance? After years of research and testing, we were able to incorporate 4° loft sleeves into all our 3-woods and 5-woods. With Qi35 fairway woods, we’ve elevated the fitting experience and given golfers the chance to truly optimize their distance, flight and face angle.” – Andrew Oldknow, Director of Woods & Putter Product Creation

Qi35

The skirt of Qi35 sits lower than the previous model which in turn optimizes the CG location so that it sits in line with the center of the ball at address. This feature is designed to allow golfers to realize fast ball speeds and exceptional distance while still maintaining high MOI.

Qi35 has a TSS weight positioned toward the front of the clubhead to further optimize head mass properties while allowing custom weighting options during assembly. Coupled with a 4° loft sleeve in the 3,3HL and 5-woods, and there are plenty of fitting and customization options.

Qi35 fairway woods are available for $349.99 USD in 3-wood (15° RH/LH), 3-HL (16.5° RH),5-wood (18° RH/LH) and 7-wood (21° RH/LH). The stock shaft is the Fujikura Ventus BlueFW25’ 6 (X, S) 5 (R, A). The stock grip is the Golf Pride Z-Grip Black/Silver 0.600 52g.

A TSS weight sits near the back of the club which creates the brand’s most forgiving fairway wood while promoting easy launch. The club also allows for swing weight customization during assembly.

The modified CG location enhances energy transfer between the clubface and the ball. A new face profile and head shape provide versatility from the tee and off the ground.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
