TaylorMade on Thursday became the first major OEM to ax its 2026 driver line, and the message was speed Through correct appropriate.
The highlight of the Qi4D driver is the quad weighting system, which offers 128 possible combinations if you take into account the FCT hostel’s 12 settings, without even including the custom weight kit.
With so many options to dial in the Qi4D and other drivers coming out this year, it’s more important than ever to get fit. As co-host Johnny Wunder noted this weekk’s delivery of GOLF’s Fully Equipped, it is also important that OEMs properly educate technicians on how to install these new drivers.
“OEM-specific adjustments and how the OEMs relate to the independent technicians are more important to this cycle today than ever before,” said Wunder. “I say Cobra, I specifically say TaylorMade, like you actually learned to tune that thing, so did Calallway.

SHAPED FOR SPEED The redesigned head profile increases ball speed thanks to improved aerodynamics developed through advanced simulations. FACE FOR DISTANCE 60x Carbon Twist Face™ is a technological cornerstone that delivers weight savings, incredible ball speed and greater consistency compared to a titanium face. ADJUSTABLE PERFORMANCE 4° loft sleeve can be used to adjust loft, lie and face angle for optimal flight. TOUR-PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES New and improved cut-through Speed Pocket™ protects ball speed and reduces spin on low-face hits. Advanced CAD modeling creates a design with clear and powerful sound, a foundation for TaylorMade driver performance. The multi-material construction allows engineers to strategically place mass in areas of the head where it maximizes performance, speed and stability.

“It will be who is the smartest provider of fitting information to the masses. Because as good as everything is, what I’m saying is that your ability to unlock performance through the right fit is more important now than ever before.”
It is unrealistic for golfers to think that simply by going out and buying a new driver off the rack they will suddenly gain another 50 yards. But what is possible is to take that driver and optimize every aspect for that specific player to make serious distance and dispersion gains.
All drivers have large adjustment levers that can be adjusted by the consumer, but a properly trained mechanic can best unlock these.
