TaylorMade has today announced the release of its new Qi4D family of fairway woods and hybrids, which will be available for preorder at TaylorMadeGolf.com on January 8 and at retail locations on January 29.

“The Qi4D lineup of fairway woods and hybrids is a result of our relentless pursuit of industry-leading performance. Through the use of multi material construction, subtle refinements, optimized CG locations, and more adjustability than ever before, Qi4D fairway woods and hybrids pave the way for golfers to experience a heightened level of play ability and versatility at the top end of their bag.” – Brian Bazzel, Vice President of Product Creation

Qi4D fairway woods

Based on extensive tour feedback, Qi4D fairway wood heads (185cc) feature tucked protrusions in the heel and toe and refined sit points.

These features are designed not only to create a Tour-inspired shape to maintain tighter ball speed variances across the face, but also to offer a confidence-inducing profile in the address position.

In addition, the woods feature a face that sits slightly more open, a lie angle that’s flatter than the previous model, and an optimized CG location.

An 8g TAS weight is designed to allow golfers to optimize spin and launch in the most mass-efficient way possible. Additionally, four-degree loft sleeves are found in all lofts and allow golfers to fully customize loft, lie angle, and face angle to their specific needs.

Specs

Lofts: 3-wood (15°), 3-HL (16.5°)((RH only)), 5-wood (18°), 7-wood (21°), 9-wood (24°((RH only))
Shafts: REAX FW 65 (X, S), 55 (R, A)
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip +2 Black/Silver 0.600 52g

Price: $379.99

Qi4D Tour Fairway Woods

The new Qi4D Tour fairway woods (175cc) employ advanced multi-material constructions. A 65g tungsten mass pad sits low and directly behind the titanium face, where it promotes high launch and lower spin, designed to result in shots that come off hot and maximize carry distance.

The sole of the club is titanium, and the crown is carbon, which allows for added discretionary weight. Qi4D Tour fairway woods utilize three TAS weights giving golfers the ability to more precisely optimize ball flight.

With the heavy weight in the back, golfers experience added stability. In addition, placing the heavy weight in the toe aims to promote fade bias, and putting the heavyweight in the heel encourages draw bias. All Qi4D Tour heads include a 4° loft sleeve which allows golfers full customization with the ability to dial in loft, lie angle and face angle.

Specs:

Lofts: 3-wood (15°), 5-wood(18°), 7-wood (21°((RH only))
Shafts: REAXFW75 (X, S) 65 (R)
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip +2 Black/Silver 0.600 52

Price: $449.99

Qi4D Max and Max Lite Fairway Woods

The 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 in design to boost overall stability, help maintain ballspeed, and promote tighter downrange dispersion on mis-hits.

The rearward orientation of 8g TAS weight (in Qi4D Max) and 4gTAS weight (in Qi4D Max Lite) concentrates mass in the back of the head which also increases MOI in design to enhance stability and forgiveness.

Qi4D Max Lite fairway woods are aimed for golfers looking to maximize clubhead speed and carry distance. Their ultralight spec package includes the line’s lightest heads, shaft and grip. Qi4D Max and Qi4D Max Lite 3-and 5-woods employ a 4° loft sleeve giving golfers more adjustability for loft, lie angle and face angle.

Qi4D Max Fairway Wood Specs

Lofts: 3-wood (15°), 5-wood (18°), 7-wood (21°), 9-wood (24°((RH only))
Shafts: REAX FW55 (S, R, A)
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip+2 Black/Silver 0.600 52g

Qi4D Max Lite Fairway Wood Specs

Lofts: 3-wood (15°), 5-wood (18°), 7-wood (21°), 9-wood (24°((RH only))
Shafts: REAXFW 45 (R, A)
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip +2 Black/White 0.600 43g

Qi4D Max Lite Fairway Woods Women’s Spec

Shaft: REAX FW 40 (L)
Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Grey Cap 0.580

Price: $379.99

Qi4D Hybrids

Like the Qi4D fairway woods, the Qi4D hybrids employ multi-material construction as well as incorporating a progressive top line, similar to what’s found in TaylorMade’s P Series and Qi Max irons.

Golfers will notice a slightly thinner top line in Qi4D hybrids, and a slightly thicker top line in Qi4D Max and Qi4D MaxLite hybrids. Along with a refined sight dash, each of the hybrids in the Qi4D line is more visually inviting at address.

Qi4D Rescue

The Qi4D hybrids employ a multi-material construction that combines 450 stainless steel with a carbon fiber 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. All lofts also incorporate an 8g TAS weight and a three-degree loft sleeve, giving golfers options for adjustability and customization. The mid positioning of the TAS weight also balances the CG for optimized flight and workability.

Specs:

Lofts: 2-hybrid (17°((RH only)), 3-hybrid (19°), 4-hybrid (22°), 5-hybrid (25°)
Shafts: REAX85X, 75S, 65S, 55R
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip +2 Black/Silver 0.600 52g

Qi4D Max Rescue

Qi4D Max hybrids are ideal for golfers looking for more forgiveness and high launch, while the larger head size bids to inspire 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, the clubs are designed to allow golfers to benefit from added stability and higher launch.

Specs

Lofts: 3-hybrid (20°),4-hybrid (23°), 5-hybrid (26°), 6-hybrid (30°((RH only)), 7-hybrid (34°((RH only))
Shafts: REAX HY50 (S, R, A)
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip +2 Black/Silver 0.600 52g

Qi4D Max Lite Rescue

The Qi4D Max Lite rescue is aimed at players looking to maximize clubhead speed.

The ultra light spec package includes the lightest head, shaft and grip options in the family, while the women’s offering is 32g lighter than the Qi4D Max hybrid.

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 maximize stability while also aiding in high launch.

Specs:

Lofts: 4-hybrid (23°), 5-hybrid (26°), 6-hybrid (30°((RH only)), 7-hyrbid (34°((RHonly))
Shafts: REAX HY40 (S, R, A)
Grip: Golf Pride Z-Grip +2 Black/Silver 0.600 43g

Women’s Specs:

- Lofts: 4-hybrid (23°((RH only)), 5-hybrid (26°((RH only)), 6-hybrid (30°((RH only)), 7-hybrid (34°((RH only))

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.”
