Taylormade Qi35 driver

[KenL]

£529 is expensive, but at least the prices haven’t changed for a few years.
Titleist drivers are more expensive.

The shaft is the same length but the max has a shorter hosel resulting in a shorter overall length.

If that's what he said, then that makes no sense.
Regardless of hosel length or adapter length, clubs are still measured the same way, and the club manufactures own website still showing the lengths to be all the same and same length as previous models.

Rick should stick to hitting balls into a big screen I reckon

Is it Q I thirty five

or

Q I three five?

This is very important to me. I need to know.

I saw them in a local shop yesterday....picked one up (not sure which variant of the driver it was) ...looked very smart from the address position....a big improvement from the Stealth models the crown of which very much reminded me of the old leather elbow pads that were common on men's jackets in the 70's.

Well...the comparison videos are coming out and Bunkered, Golfshake and James Robinson all found 4/5ths of bugger all between the 2.....I couldn't be bothered to watch any more....
So what are these problems with the Callaway...apart from the looks ( some like one, some like the other) which are completely subjective and don't affect performance...?

There arent any. It is just the way the reviewers have titled their video reviews....things like..."Have XXXX messed up"? Folk dont bother going past the title and then repeat what they think the reviewer might have meant, as though it was gospel.

The Q and I are said together. Qwi is the pronunciation.

Even without watching the full review, we have to accept a title or byline as more or less in line with the tenor of the review. The Labour party doesnt title a profile on their website with "Starmer, a far right transexual from North Korea?". I dont think you can blame people for not going beyond a title to find it is completely wrong, and its fair to take its opening premise as indicative of its position.

But what has happened is that people have decided that..." HAVE manufacturer xxxx messed up?" actually means that "manufacturer xxxx HAS messed up"...without reading the review, and that is simply wrong.

It is irresponsible from the reviewer to title their review in such a misleading manner because there will always be folk who are only too happy to repeat the headline, or twist it, in line with their own agenda.

Or, as they are all made in China, is it pronounces Chi..?

I did think that QI10 name was funny. "Quest for inertia 10k" makes it sound like you're still hunting for it.

Isn’t that a Star Trek film?

I believe QI is pronounced like the word key. I know someone who went to school with a friend of the brother of the Taylormade CEO, and it is actually a nod to Don Quixote, the classic Spanish novel which was his favourite book at school.

and there was me thinking it was a nod to Sandi Toksvig.

I bought the Qi irons yesterday and pronounced it like the TV program, the guy in the shop knew what I was after so must have been right .
Would have felt stupid trying to pronounce it another way

Anyone got this driver yet ? Thoughts ?

Not sure they are actually available to purchase until later in the month...maybe someone might have hit one during a fitting for an "advance purchase".

 

[Voyager EMH]

I remain uninformed as to whether it should be said "three five" or "thirty five". This is important to me. I want to get it right.

My pro shop has plenty fairways in stock but they only got one driver yet. A lite version.
They look very nice.

It's actually pronounced Koo-ee trente-cinq, as a nod to a school trip to Paris that the TaylorMade CEO went on when he was 13 and has fond memories of

I like the sound of that.

Just as well the school trip was not to Munich.

Koo-ee Fünfunddreißig just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Just seen that ping are releasing the G440. If I get one I won’t be able to use it for 3 months til my back is better from where the kidney came from that I had to sell to buy one.
