TaylorMade became the first major OEM to drop the 2026 driver line on Thursday, and the message was speed through the right one suitable.
Distinguished by Qi4D driver is the quad weighting system, which offers 128 possible combinations when you consider the 12-setting FCT box, not even including the custom weight kit.
With so many options to dial in the Qi4D and other drivers coming out this year, it’s more important than ever to get fit. As co-host Johnny Wunder pointed out this dayki GOLF’s Fully Equipped episode, it’s also important that OEMs properly educate fitters on how to fit these new drivers.
“OEM-specific fit and how OEMs relate to independent assemblers is more important today for this cycle than it’s ever been,” Wunder said. “I’ll say Cobra, I’ll say TaylorMade specifically, like you really knew how to tune that thing, Calallway, too.

SHAPE FOR SPEED The re-engineered head profile increases ball speed thanks to improved aerodynamics developed through advanced simulations. FACE FOR DISTANCE 60x Carbon Twist Face™ is a technological cornerstone that provides weight savings, exceptional ball speed and more durability compared to a titanium face. ADJUSTABLE PERFORMANCE The 4° loft sleeve can be used to adjust the loft angle, reach and face for optimized flight. PROVEN TOUR TECHNOLOGY The new and improved Speed ​​Pocket™ cutting edge protects ball speed and reduces spin on low face shots. Advanced CAD modeling creates a design with a clean and powerful sound, a foundation of TaylorMade driver performance.

“It’s going to be the smartest distributor of relevant information to the masses. Because as good as all that is, what I’m going to say is that your ability to unlock performance through proper fit is more important now than it’s ever been.”
It is not realistic for golfers to think that by simply going out and buying a new driver off the shelf, they will suddenly gain another 50 yards. But what is possible is to get that driver and optimizing each aspect for that specific one player to get some serious gains in distance and distribution.
All drivers out there have master mounting levers can be adjusted by the customerbut a well-trained and educated fitter can unlock them best.
