“I can go at this as hard as I want”
The model he was fitted into and is looking at gaming; forgiving enough that he can finally play a low-spin head and swing hard with a strong penetrating flight.
+ the facts · 7 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Forgiving enough for him to be fitted into an LS for the first time
- +Strong low penetrating flight ideal for windy conditions and links golf
- +Best distance numbers of the three heads tested: 135 mph ball speed, 224 carry, 244 total
- −A little loud for an LS with a firm feel off the face
For: Faster swingers who want low spin but previously found LS heads too demanding

Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“dispersion tells the story there”
The Qi35 LS's three weight ports and adjustable hosel let the fitter tame a chronic left miss on camera: toe weight plus a delofted 10.5 head kept the face open and dramatically tightened dispersion.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Three weight ports; 13g toe weight adds ball speed behind the miss and resists face closure
- +Delofting the hosel opens the face and flattens lie for directional control at the same effective loft
- +Dispersion tightened dramatically with carry and peak height up in the winning setting
- −Very low spin head; at 8.5 degrees shots nose-dived and cost nearly 20 yards of carry on misses
- −No 12-degree LS option for players who need more spin
For: Low-spin players fighting a hook who want adjustability to straighten start direction
Not yet tested but the model Alex gravitates toward: a lovely compact head shape with zero CG projection for extreme speed, at the cost of volatile flight when spin drops too low.
+ the facts · 2 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Zero CG projection, extremely fast
- +Lovely compact head shape Alex prefers over the Max
- −Sub-2,000 rpm spin can make flight very volatile
For: Higher-spin players chasing speed who can handle a low-spin head
Golf Monthly
UK magazine, season-long testing
A more playable, less volatile low-spin head than the Qi10 LS that does its job well, but the versatile core Qi35 arguably makes it redundant for most.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Feels far more playable and less volatile on mishits than the Qi10 LS
- +Compact pear-shaped profile retained
- +Firmer, more robust impact feel
- −Little raw speed or spin gain over the Qi10 LS
- −Core Qi35 in weight-forward mode offers a similar spin profile with more MOI, making the LS hard to justify
For: Players who specifically love a compact pear-shaped head and low spin
James Robinson Golf
Mid-handicap everyman reviews
“an amphibious F1 car cuz it pretty much does everything”
James calls the Qi35 one of the best drivers of 2025 and it edged the long-drive contest against a 150-pound 2017 M1, but the old driver stayed so close that he and his guest openly question whether the Qi35 is worth 500 to 600 pounds.
+ the facts · 5 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Lower spin yet higher MOI than the older M1 thanks to the full triaxial carbon infinity crown
- +Carbon face feels fantastic, like titanium but softer and quieter
- +Three-way movable weight plus through-slot speed pocket protects ball speed on low-face strikes
- −Only marginally outperformed a 9-year-old 150-pound M1 in real-world driving
- −500 to 600 pound price is hard to justify on the performance gap shown
- −Not a fan of the standard colour scheme (prefers the blacked-out Stealth version)
For: Serious golfers who want the best current equipment and will get fitted
Mark Crossfield
Coach, famously hard to impress
A genuine low-spin option that took about 300 rpm off for him while keeping ball speed, though the carved-away heel look won't be for everyone.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Spins ~300 rpm less than the standard (21 vs 24), exactly what a low-spin head should do
- +Feels really pure, same great carbon sound
- +Three-weight changeable system for sweet spot and shape dialing
- −Carved-away heel makes it the least pretty head to his eye
- −Niche bracket, only for players who genuinely need less spin
For: Someone who wants the smaller LS look and needs spin taken off
“this for me is the nicer shape head”
His personal favorite shape of the three, with three movable weights that visibly knocked spin down when set forward.
+ the facts · 3 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Nicer, more squat head shape to his eye and sits incredibly square
- +Three movable weights (two 3g, one 13g) give the most adjustability
- +Forward fade setting produced a flatter, more penetrating flight with lower spin, even on low strikes
- −Fade weight setting edged some shots left-to-right more aggressively
For: Faster swingers or high-spin players who need to pull spin down
“if you're a beginner or high handicapper, avoid this”
The ultra-low-spin, workable model with adjustable heel-toe weighting, perfect for fast swingers but the least forgiving Qi35 with a very small sweet spot.
+ the facts · 3 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Ultra low spin with a lower, more penetrating ball flight
- +Amazing workability, movable 13g weight enables draw, fade, or stability bias
- +Ideal for faster swing speeds
- −Least forgiving model in the range with a very small sweet spot
- −Beginners and high handicappers should avoid it
For: Faster swing speeds wanting less spin, penetrating flight, and workability
