Well, polish your spikes and strut like you own the fairway, you divot-digging dazzlers—TaylorMade’s Qi35 Designer Series Drivers in Gloss Black, Gold, and Platinum have landed like a caddie with a VIP pass to Augusta, and I’m more jazzed than a bunker-raker spotting a gold-plated golf cart!

The TaylorMade Qi35 Designer Series Drivers, released on June 3, 2025, are available for $649.99 at taylormadegolf.com in Gloss Black, Gold, and Platinum finishes, offered in Qi35, Qi35 Max, and Qi35 LS models. Announced January 7, 2025, with pre-orders starting the same day, these drivers feature the same performance specs as the standard Qi35 family but add exclusive aesthetics with deep gloss crowns, subtle green accents, and striated detailing inspired by aeronautics. The Qi35 model, ideal for a wide range of golfers, delivers 9,000 MOI and a near-zero CG projection, achieving 13% tighter dispersion when the 13-gram weight is rear-positioned and five extra yards when forward, based on player testing versus the Qi10.
The drivers utilize a multi-material construction of chromium carbon, steel, aluminum, tungsten, and titanium, paired with a fourth-generation Carbon Twist Face, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, 4° loft sleeve, and Infinity Carbon Crown for enhanced forgiveness and distance. The Trajectory Adjustment System (TAS) includes two movable weights (13g and 3g) for precise CG adjustments, with the Qi35 LS offering a lower-spin option with two 3g front weights and a 13g rear weight for advanced players. Available in 9.0°, 10.5°, and 12.0° lofts (Qi35 and Qi35 Max) and 8.0°, 9.0°, and 10.5° (Qi35 LS), they come with Fujikura Ventus Blue or Mitsubishi Diamana T+ 60 shafts and Golf Pride Z-Grip. The Designer Series Gloss Black features an all-black carbon crown with grey scorelines, while Gold and Platinum crowns have gold or silver striations for alignment contrast.
Testing by GolfWRX’s Club Junkie noted the Qi35’s stability on mishits, lower spin compared to Qi10, and a softer feel, with the Max model offering 10,000 MOI for ultimate forgiveness. The SelectFit heads with reflective markers enhance fitting precision with launch monitors like Trackman, ensuring optimal loft and weight configurations. Stock is limited, with X posts highlighting rapid demand for the “striking” Gold and Platinum designs, suggesting quick sellouts post-launch. Free U.S. shipping applies on orders over $100, with a 30-day return policy for unused items and a one-year warranty per TaylorMade’s policy.
