TaylorMade unveils new Qi35 fairway woods and hybrids
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

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.





Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

The very first on-face photo; which model is that? It looks like a very deep-faced fairway wood! And markedly different from the Max model.
Thank you for the excellent, early pictures.

My bad; my apologies. I now see the small captioning that it is a “Tour” model 7-wood.
