I got it Qi35 core 7-wood recently as a replacement for my hybrid and I only hit it indoors in a simulator. So far it seems to be a great club and it surprised me in a few ways.
SEEMS
What worked for me
In terms of looks, TaylorMade has nailed it. The shape of the head is clean and modern and sits nicely behind the ball. Even the headgear looks great. It has a premium feel and matches the overall aesthetic of the club very well.
Distance
What worked for me
Let’s talk about distance. I was consistently hitting it about 230 yards, about 15 feet farther than my 4-iron, so it fits the hole well. It also had a lot of pitch and spin (comparatively speaking). This is much more pop than I expected from a 7-wood.
PARDON
What worked for me
of Qi35 Core 7-wood it’s also very forgiving. Even on slight misses, the ball stayed on line and had good hold. What surprised me even more was how easy it was to shape the strokes. I could make an easy draw or hold a fade without feeling like I had to manipulate my swing. I could also control the height very easily. I couldn’t return shots more than 10 to 15 yards either way consistently, but that’s still a lot more than I expected from this forgiving club.
What didn’t work for me
One thing to be aware of is that the Qi35 core is not adjustable. I didn’t realize this until after I bought the club (hoops) but luckily it fit my blank perfectly so I wouldn’t need to adjust it anyway.
of TOURNAMENTS AND MAX models offer adjustment (+/- up to two degrees), but both have different head sizes. of MAX comes with a larger head at 200cc and is the most forgiving of the three models. of TOURNAMENTS it comes with a smaller head at 170cc and is less forgiving while being more workable (the core is 185cc). For reference, I’m a plus-1 handicap and didn’t feel I needed the workability of the Tour model or the forgiveness of the Max model. And many tour pros, including Scottie Scheffler, use it 7-wood core over the Tour version.
CONCLUSION
To sum it up, I really like it Qi35 7 wood. It looks great and is extremely forgiving, while also being quite practical. The only problem with it is that it’s not adjustable, which means tinkers are probably better off getting it MAX OR TOURNAMENTS version. But overall, it’s a great club that I highly recommend.
