Is The Taylormade Qi Full Golf Set Worth The Hype? (Honest Review)

Have you ever dreamed of launching bombs off the tee while keeping your irons consistent and forgiving across the board?

That’s exactly what TaylorMade promises with their new Qi35 full set, max distance, max forgiveness, and a sleek, modern look.

But the real question is, is this just another big-brand flex, or is it the real deal? Let's find out!

Key Takeaways

If you don't have the time to read our full review on the Taylormade Qi35 set, here are the main things you need to know. 

• The irons deliver surprisingly solid feel for game improvement clubs – long, forgiving, and crisp.
• Hybrid performance is smooth and consistent, but not wildly different from past TaylorMade models.
• 3-wood is a standout – incredible feel, sound, and forgiveness.
• Qi35 driver might be our favorite club of the bunch – long, loud, and clean.
• Set looks premium but does come with a steep price tag.

But if you like watching reviews in video format here is the full review on our YouTube channel. 

Wedges

We started things off with the sand wedge to get a feel for consistency and forgiveness around shorter shots.

Right away, it was clear these wedges play more like compact irons than delicate scoring tools. They’re bulky, powerful, and built to launch.

• Arvo saw consistent carries around 115 yards with a crisp, forgiving feel, even on slightly off-center strikes. 
• Carl, ever the straight shooter, clocked in closer to 80 yards and called them “solid, but nothing game-changing.”

Around the greens, they might not offer the finesse or spin of a traditional wedge, but for full shots, they’re more than reliable.

Irons

Moving into the 7-iron was where things got exciting. Despite being part of a game-improvement set, the Qi35 7-iron didn’t feel clunky or oversized.

Both of us were getting consistent distances in the 160–180 yard range, and the ball flight was straight and strong. 

These irons are clearly made for distance and forgiveness, but they still give you enough feedback to shape a shot when needed.

These irons are designed for for mid to high handicappers who want to tighten dispersion without giving up power, this set is a win.

Hybrid

We moved into the Qi 4-hybrid expecting decent performance, and it was there. The feel was the best part. Smooth, responsive, and that classic signature TaylorMade sound.

Arvo, who already plays a TaylorMade M6 hybrid, was genuinely surprised by how much he liked the Qi4. Distance wasn’t dramatically different, but the vibe was there.

Carl has never been a hybrid guy – he called it “a tomato-looking thing.” But even he had to admit the shot he hit was dead straight and surprisingly playable. 

Fairway Woods

Then came the real fun which was the 3-wood. Carl could barely contain himself after the first strike, and said that it is “one of the best woods I’ve ever hit.” Sounds sus, we know. 

Even off the heel or toe, shots stayed on line. The Ventus Blue shaft paired with the carbon crown gave it that Tour-level feel and look. 

Carl bombed one out to 260 yards and said it felt so clean he was ready to head straight to get some burgers. The boys were a bit hungry in this review. 

Driver

TaylorMade claims the Qi35 driver is long and forgiving, and we have to agree. Despite a few off-center hits, he was consistently carrying it around 270–280 yards.

Both of us were already obsessed before testing. After seeing the ball flight and feel, we said it might be the first driver we’d actually buy in a long time.

If you read our full Qi35 Driver Review you'll see why from aesthetics to performance, this driver is the complete package, especially for mid-to-high handicappers who need more consistency.

On-Course Playthrough & Long Drive Challenge

We took the set onto a simulator course for a real-world test. Arvo played a bit more conservative, while Carl went full send with the driver. 

To finish, we did a one-shot long drive challenge with the Qi35 driver. One of us hit a bomb and one of us hit that joint out the park. Watch the full review to find out who did what!

Final Thoughts

We’ve tested a lot of clubs. And honestly, this might be the best full set we’ve reviewed so far.

The irons are hot and forgiving, the woods are controllable and confidence-inspiring, and the driver is dangerously close to gamer status for both of us.

While Carl didn't like the hybrid shape and headcover design (seriously?), there was very little to complain about overall.

The full set is a bit expensive at $2600 but if you are looking for performance and confidence in your game, it's a long-term investment that you won't regret.

Ratings

So would we get them for ourselves? The drivers, woods and hybrids 100%, but maybe not the irons since we don't typically play game improvement irons.
