QI35 MAX

R6 000

• The oversized

shape emphasises forgiveness and a higher launch with more of a draw bias than the Qi35. • The weight screw in the back-centre of the sole deepens the centre of gravity for more forgiveness. • A carbon-composite crown lowers the centre of gravity. • Lofts are stronger than Qi10 Max for less spin and more ball speed. • Lie angles are slightly more upright than in the standard Qi35 to minimise a slice. • Top 5 in Performance, high-handicaps • 20, 23, 27, 31, 35 degrees (fixed hosel)

‘The ball flight had a nice, long rise to its apex and then dropped right on top of its target. Mis-hits went dead straight.’ – 11-HANDICAP

QI35 MAX LITE

R6 500

• Oversized like the Max, but it has a more tip- flexible shaft. It also weighs significantly less to help golfers with moderate swing speeds launch shots higher. • The weight screw in the back-centre of the sole deepens the centre of gravity for more forgiveness. • A carbon-composite crown lowers the centre of gravity. • A sole slot improves the way the face flexes, creating more potential distance, especially for impacts low on the face. • Lie angles are slightly more upright than in the standard Qi35 for help against slicing. • 23, 27, 31, 35 degrees (fixed hosel)

‘Easy to hit. Impact is soft and smooth, yet there’s still a ton of power in the head. Perfectly suited for my typical baby draw.’ – 5-HANDICAP
