The TaylorMade Qi35 Max Fairway Wood uses an official 57°–61.5° lie-angle setup across its listed heads. TaylorMade’s adjustable heads change lie together with the indexed loft-sleeve position, while any fixed-loft heads in the family should be judged at their published static lie.

What stands out about the Qi35 Max Fairway Wood lie setup?
The adjustable heads use head-specific lie ranges rather than one universal lie number for the entire family.
Some higher-loft heads are fixed even though lower-loft heads in the same family use an adjustable sleeve, so the exact head matters.
Use only the TaylorMade 4° Loft Sleeve chart for this generation; adapter relationships should not be copied from another family.

Dynamic hosel test for the TaylorMade Qi35 Max Fairway Wood
Start from the stock sleeve position and record strike, launch and start direction.
Use only the TaylorMade positions documented for this generation.
Keep a setting only if centre contact and start direction improve together.
Should the TaylorMade Qi35 Max Fairway Wood be more upright or flatter?
A more upright fit may suit you if…
- Centred strikes tend to start right of target.
- The toe sits noticeably down at address or impact with your normal posture.
- You feel you must stand unusually close or raise your hands to make the club sit naturally.
- Compare the neutral setting with the more upright-supported sleeve position and keep it only if strike and start line both improve.
A flatter fit may suit you if…
- Centred strikes tend to start left of target.
- The heel appears too low or catches the turf first.
- You naturally deliver the club with lower hands and the head looks too upright.
- Use the flatter-supported sleeve position if it reduces a persistent left start without hurting centre contact or launch.
Look elsewhere first if…
- Your main miss is a hook or slice caused by face-to-path.
- Strike location changes substantially across the face.
- Launch or spin is the main issue rather than start direction.
- You have not tested the club at your normal playing length and posture.
Golf-club specifications can differ by model year, loft, region, custom build and adjustable-hosel setting. Before buying, fitting or changing a club, compare these figures with TaylorMade’s official specifications for your exact model. If a measurement is critical, have the club checked by a qualified fitter. Verify with TaylorMade.
