New for 2026, TaylorMade’s Qi4D fairway woods and hybrids

Published

on

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

  • Lofts: 15° (RH only), 18° (RH only), 21° (RH only)
  • 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))
  • Shaft: Reax Hy 40 (L)
  • Grip: Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Grey Cap 0.580 44g

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
