Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing

Loved it

“it's still a very forgiving fairywood for it being a tour model”

The Qi35 Tour fairway's 40-gram sliding sole weight measurably works: moving it forward cut spin about 300 rpm and 10 feet of height even at higher club speed, and the master fitter calls it his go-to for over-spinners.

+ the facts · 4 pros · 1 cons
  • +40g sliding weight gives real launch/spin control, roughly 300 rpm and 9-10 feet of height difference
  • +Extremely hot face; a 280-yard carry, 302 total bomb under 3,000 rpm off the deck
  • +Spin stayed remarkably consistent even on low-face and toe mishits with weight forward
  • −Weight-back setting spun more than expected for a low-spin player

For: Players who hit their 3-wood too high and spinny and need to bring the flight down
