What are your thoughts on the new Fairways and Hybrids from TaylorMade?

Am I missing something or is it now TaylorMade and Callaway that both released non-adjustable hosels in the FWs?

CARLSBAD, Calif. (Jan. 9, 2024) – TaylorMade Golf continues its technological innovation in fairway woods and hybrids with the introduction of the all-new Qi10 Family. Breakthrough technologies are in abundance with an Infinity Carbon Crown in fairways and precision weighting and shaping in hybrids.

Both fairways and hybrids come in three different models: Qi10, Qi10 Max and Qi10 Tour. They are available for preorder starting Jan. 9, 2024.

Each member of the Qi10 fairway wood and hybrid family has a uniquely optimized face design focused around maximizing ball speed across the face for each individual loft. TaylorMade engineers used iterative computer simulations to determine the shape and thickness of each area to properly maximize the COR area around where golfers are most likely to impact the ball with each fairway model.

The Qi10, Qi10 Max and Qi10 Tour fairways boast the all-new Infinity Crown that provides a clean, uninterrupted view at address while simultaneously optimizing performance. Engineers relied on this new design to reshape the club, shifting more weight lower in the clubhead to maintain high inertia with a slightly enlarged face profile to inspire confidence and generate ball speed.

Qi10 Fairway: Perfect Blend of Distance and Forgiveness

The most widely used version on Tour and among amateurs, the Qi10 Fairway is the perfect blend of distance and forgiveness, while the precision CG location delivers a combo of high launch and low spin.

“One thing that golfers may not know is that the steel model of TaylorMade fairway woods is among the most played on Tour year after year. With the added performance of Qi10 delivered by the Infinity Carbon Crown and repositioned internal mass pads, we are confident that trend will continue. This is a very clean overall design that delivers the vibrant sound and powerful distance that TaylorMade fairway woods are accustomed to achieving.”

Tomo Bystedt, Senior Director Product Creation

The Qi10 Fairway incorporates proven TaylorMade technologies such as the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket™ and laser etched topline. Respectively, these features boost speed on low face shots and promote consistently accurate alignment. Continuing the legacy of V Steel™ technology, the Qi10 Fairway's sole design improves turf interaction and versatility.

Internal mass pads have been designed for balanced performance, weight has been split between low-forward and low-back to produce a hot trajectory with ample forgiveness.

Qi10 Max Fairway: Extreme Forgiveness & Playability

The Qi10 Max Fairway takes TaylorMade’s proven formula for this target golfer and enhances it for extreme forgiveness and playability. Its larger front-to-back shape allows for increased inertia that’s designed to deliver more stability at impact. A shallower profile and extreme MOI allows for higher launch and forgiveness across the face making this the most forgiving fairway TaylorMade has ever made.

Departing from the traditional, the Qi10 Max Fairway boasts an ultra-high MOI construction, combining low CG projection with a confidence inspiring 200cc head volume. Internal mass pads have been designed for maximum forgiveness with the weight moved to the extreme low back, making this fairway TaylorMade’s easiest to hit in the line.

Qi10 Tour Fairway: Three Fairways in One

The Qi10 Tour fairway features a titanium head that frees up additional mass for precise CG placement in a compact, Tour-proven shape. It boasts a lower profile moveable weight system with a 50g sliding weight and a 2° loft sleeve to offer versatile flight options. Golfers can shift the weight back for higher launch and stability, center it for all-around performance or move it forward for a low-spin ball flight with maximum distance.

New to the Qi10 Tour Fairway is the integration of a TSS weight and the innovative Infinity Carbon Crown. The TSS weight enables precise customization for pinpoint swing weighting, while the infinity crown provides a sleek, clean look at address that makes alignment easy.

Qi10 Tour fairway combines proven TaylorMade innovations like multi-material titanium carbon construction, laser topline alignment and Twist Face®. These features blend seamlessly to enhance overall performance across a variety of on-course scenarios.

Qi10 Rescue Family

The Qi10 family of Rescue™ clubs is headlined by the all-new Carbon Crown in the Qi10 and Qi10 Max models, which frees up mass for optimal weight distribution and forgiveness. Each Rescue features a different shape with the oversized Qi10 Max, classic Qi10 and compact Qi10 Tour.

The Qi10 Rescue has internal split weighting and low CG to create a versatile Rescue with extremely long distance and easy, high launch. The mid face height allows for easy launch from tight lies and confidence off the tee. Both Qi10 and Qi10 Max hybrids have the proven V Steel™ sole to improve turn interaction and versatility.

Featuring rear-leaning perimeter weighting and ultra-low CG, the Qi10 Max is a versatile Rescue engineered for high launch and max forgiveness. A shallow face height allows golfers to hit it high from anywhere.

Qi10 Tour Rescue has a deeper forged C300 face with a higher toe that provides a look and performance for players seeking the ultimate combination of distance, workability, control and iron-like turf interaction with excellent versatility. Internal heel-toe weighting promotes added forgiveness with a more compact look.

And the hybrids...

Good looking sticks!  Haven't used TM much so they may be worth a shot

Wow I might actually give these Taylormades a look!

[Rob Person]

Yes please santa! I'd like a set!   read the article, and trying to decipher which is better for entry level golfing, if any at all!

[KC Golf]

These look nice.  Not really a TM 3W fan, but I do like the TM hybrid over the years.  

May be someone can answer this for me. 

If TM is so committed to carbon faced drivers, why wouldn’t the 3W also have a carbon face as opposed what appears to be a conventional titanium face.  I would think the weight savings could be re directed to other areas of the 3W to increase MOI or other benefits.

Just curious if someone has found an answer from TM on this…

[GolfSpy_APH]

The tour Style hybrid is stellar. I will definitely be looking into this one without question.

The MAX Rescue is one of the nicer-looking “mini fairway wood” hybrids (and not so “mini”, I might add) that I have seen. It is quite reminiscent of my Paradym X hybrid, which is arguably the best hybrid club I have ever hit. That 18* Paradym X hybrid has won me $235 in skins and closest-to-pin money in my last two weeks of winter golf tour play. The CTP that I won was on an uphill par-3 that featured a back pin that one of my playing partners scoped at 209 yards (I got 191 yards to the center of the green on my Garmin GPS watch, and the pin was almost at the back of the green, which my watch said was actually 209 yards from our tee). I figured that the shot was about 205 yards and played it as such, hitting my tee shot pin-high 2’-1” from the cup.  
 

In warmer weather, I have hit numerous shots 225+ yards with that Paradym X hybrid; if the TM Qi10 MAX Rescue is as hot as my Paradym X hybrid, it would surely be a worthy fairway wood replacement club.

I've heard that it has something to do with the surface area of the faces not being large enough to benefit. I don't really know the logistics, but I've seen that mentioned a few times.

Yes another year where my stealth hybrid and 3 wood has the same face!  No temptation here

[hartrick11]

I think these look awesome! Haven't touched my woods in about 3 years so I may need to setup a fitting...
