While much of the hype on Tour recently has been about high-lofted fairways over hybrids, those clubs can still serve an important role as gapping tools. Like in the new Qi4D fairways, all of the rescues now have TAS ports to dial in swingweight and get the perfect fit.
“Rescues aren’t meant to be one-to-one iron replacements anymore,” said Brian Bazzel, Vice President of Product Creation. “They’re really gap-filling tools. As iron lofts get stronger, we need something that launches higher, spins appropriately and gives you consistent carry distances. That’s where a rescue fits perfectly — it bridges the gap between fairway woods and irons.”
Like Qi4D fairway woods, Qi4D hybrids employ multimaterial construction. Coupled with optimised CG locations, proven TaylorMade technologies like a cut-through Speed Pocket and Twist Face, REAX shafts formulated in conjunction with KBS, and ample adjustability. Qi4D hybrids collectively represent the ideal long iron replacements for golfers of all abilities.
PROGRESSIVE TOP LINE
Qi4D hybrids incorporate a progressive top line, similar to what’s found in TaylorMade’s P·Series and Qi Max irons. Golfers will notice a slightly thinner top line Qi4D hybrids, and a slightly thicker top line in Qi4D Max and Qi4D Max Lite hybrids. Along with a refined sight dash, each of the hybrids in the Qi4D line is more visually inviting at address.”The Qi4D lineup of fairway woods and hybrids is a result of our relentless pursuit of industry-leading performance. Through the use of multimaterial construction, subtle refinements, optimised CG locations, and more adjustability than ever before, Qi4D fairway woods and hybrids pave the way for golfers to experience a heightened level of playability and versatility at the top end of their bag.” added Brian Bazzel, Vice President of Product Creation
Qi4D RESCUE
Qi4D hybrids employ multimaterial construction which combines 450 stainless steel and a carbon fibre crown to create the perfect balance of distance, forgiveness, versatility and control. The construction is designed to hit specific carry yardages with a steep angle of descent making it easier for golfers to hold the green.
All lofts also incorporate an 8g TAS weight and 3° loft sleeve, giving golfers unparalleled options for adjustability and customisation. The mid positioning of the TAS weight also balances the CG for optimised flight and workability.
Qi4D rescue will be available as follows: 2-hybrid (17° ((RH only)), 3-hybrid (19°), 4-hybrid (22°), 5-hybrid (25°)
Qi4D MAX RESCUE
Qi4D Max hybrids are ideal for golfers looking for more forgiveness and high launch. The larger head size inspires confidence at address. An 8g TAS weight is strategically positioned farther back in the head where it creates higher MOI for added forgiveness. Coupled with a lightweight carbon crown and golfers benefit from added stability and higher launch.
Qi4D MAX rescue will be available as follows: 3-hybrid (20°), 4-hybrid (23°), 5-hybrid (26°), 6-hybrid (30° ((RH only)), 7-hyrbid (34° ((RH only))
Qi4D MAX LITE RESCUE
If you are looking for something a bit lighter than standard to maximise clubhead speed, the Qi4D Max Lite is the answer. The ultralight spec package includes the lightest head, shaft and grip options in the family. The women’s offering is 32g lighter than the Qi4D Max hybrid. A 4g TAS weight is positioned rearward in the clubhead where it promotes higher MOI and more forgiveness. Just like Qi4D Max hybrids, the Qi4D Max Lite heads employ a lightweight carbon crown and larger head size which maximise stability while also aiding in high launch.
The Qi4D Max Lite Rescue will be available in 4-hybrid (23° ((RH only)), 5-hybrid (26° ((RH only)), 6-hybrid (30° ((RH only)), 7-hybrid (34° ((RH only))
There will also be a Qi4D Max Lite Rescue Women’s available in womens pecs offering 4-hybrid (23° ((RH only)), 5-hybrid (26° ((RH only)), 6-hybrid (30° ((RH only)), 7-hybrid (34° ((RH only)). These come as stock with ultra light Reax Hy 40 (L) shaft and a Golf Pride Tour Velvet 360 Grey Cap 0.580 44g.
All Qi4D hybrids are available from 29th Jan for an RRP of €349.
