There is no flat setting — lie only moves upright, up to 4° at the UPRT position, and the loft settings themselves add up to 2° of upright lie. Lowering loft opens the face and raising it closes it: about 1.5° per 0.75° notch, up to 4° at the full ±2° setting.

|---|---|---|---|
| STD LOFT | std | std | square |
| STD +1 notch | +0.75° | 0.5° upright | 1.5° closed |
| STD +2 notches | +1.5° | 1.25° upright | 3° closed |

| HIGHER / UPRT | +1.5° | 2.75° upright | 3° closed |
| UPRT +1 notch | +0.75° | 3.5° upright | 1.5° closed |
| UPRT | std | 4° upright | square |
| UPRT −1 notch | −0.75° | 3.5° upright | 1.5° open |

| STD −2 notches | −1.5° | 1.25° upright | 3° open |
| STD −1 notch | −0.75° | 0.5° upright | 1.5° open |
The sleeve is marked STD LOFT, HIGHER, UPRT and LOWER; the table lists all twelve stops in order around the dial. The sleeve is interchangeable with every TaylorMade driver back to the SIM generation.

About the TaylorMade Qi35
The Qi35 is TaylorMade's 2025 driver family, announced on 7 January 2025 as the follow-up to the 10K-MOI Qi10 generation. The chassis blends five materials — chromium carbon panels over steel, aluminium, tungsten and titanium — around the fourth-generation 60X Carbon Twist Face, with a near-zero "CG projection" as the design story. The core Qi35 and the LS carry a two-weight Trajectory Adjustment System for spin and bias tuning, while the Qi35 Max keeps the 10K-class MOI of its predecessor with a 34 g rear tungsten weight and the Max Lite brings the same geometry to a D0, sub-50-gram-shaft build for moderate swing speeds. The Qi4D replaced the line in January 2026, making the Qi35 the value buy while closeout and used stock lasts.

Frequently asked questions
What lofts does the TaylorMade Qi35 come in?
The core Qi35 comes in 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees (12 right-hand only); the Qi35 LS in 8, 9 and 10.5 (8 right-hand only); the Qi35 Max in 9, 10.5 and 12; and the Qi35 Max Lite in 10.5 and 12.
What is the Qi35 loft settings chart?
The Qi35 uses TaylorMade's 12-position 4 degree Loft Sleeve: loft moves up to 2 degrees either way in 0.75 degree notches, the face closes up to 4 degrees as loft is added and opens as it is removed, and the UPRT setting keeps the stated loft while setting lie 4 degrees upright.
Is the TaylorMade Qi35 still in production?
No — the Qi4D replaced it in January 2026. The Qi35 remains widely available as closeout and used stock, which makes it the value pick of the two while supplies last.
What is the difference between the Qi35 Max and Qi35 Max Lite?
Both share the high-MOI Max geometry. The Max carries a 34 g rear tungsten weight and standard build weight; the Max Lite drops to roughly a 24 g rear weight, a D0 swing weight and a 47-48 g Vanquish shaft for moderate swing speeds.
Buying one
TaylorMade has since introduced the TaylorMade Qi4D above it in the range, so the Qi35 is at the end of its retail life rather than fully retired — closeout stock still turns up at retailers, and drivers one generation back are the sweet spot of the used market. Before buying used, check the stamped loft against the chart above and ask which hosel setting it is in — an adjustable driver may be set a degree or more away from the number on the sole, and sleeve adapters are brand- and generation-specific.

- Note: TaylorMade publishes lie as an adjustable range per head (Qi35 56-60°, LS 54-58°, Max and Max Lite 58-62°) rather than a single figure, so no static lie column is charted. A women's Qi35 Max Lite build (44 inches, L flex Fujikura Air Speeder 40) is sold alongside the standard builds.
