What changed from the Qi35 Max Rescue
Both are TaylorMade's most forgiving hybrid of their year, at the same lengths and lies from the 3 to the 7 hybrid, left-handed in the 3 to 5 hybrids only, with no loft sleeve. The Qi4D Max keeps the 20° and 23° lofts and makes the 5, 6 and 7 hybrids a degree stronger (26°, 30° and 34° against 27°, 31° and 35°); its head is 3cc smaller in each loft (106cc against 109cc). TaylorMade places the Qi4D Max's centre of gravity towards the back, which it says adds stability and launch, adds an 8-gram weight that tunes the flight, and swaps the Fujikura AirSpeeder shaft for the KBS REAX HL 50, both in stiff, regular and senior flex.
Golf Discount still sells the Qi35 Max Rescue new for less than a Qi4D Max, but on 16 Oct only as a right-handed 3 hybrid in regular flex; used ones in other lofts and flexes cost less again. It suits a golfer who wants TaylorMade's most forgiving hybrid for less; choose the Qi4D Max for a new club in any loft, flex or hand, or for the weight towards the back.

What changed from the SIM2 Max Rescue
Both are TaylorMade's most forgiving hybrid of their year, at the same lengths from the 3 to the 7 hybrid, left-handed in the 3, 4 and 5 hybrids only. The Qi4D Max's lofts are weaker (20°, 23°, 26°, 30° and 34° against 19°, 22°, 25°, 28° and 31°), so each hybrid launches higher, and its lies are a degree flatter. It places the centre of gravity towards the back, which TaylorMade says adds stability and launch, adds an 8-gram weight that tunes the flight, and swaps the Fujikura Ventus Blue shaft for the KBS REAX HL 50, adding a stiff flex to the senior and regular.
Golf Discount still sells the SIM2 Max Rescue new for less than a Qi4D Max, in the 3 to 5 hybrids, and used ones cost less again. It suits a golfer who wants TaylorMade's most forgiving hybrid for less, in stronger lofts; choose the Qi4D Max for a 6 or 7 hybrid new, the higher-launching lofts or the weight.

How the 4.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what TaylorMade publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head | 4 | A maximum-forgiveness hybrid head, the most forgiving kind TaylorMade makes. |
| Forgiveness score | 4.0 | of 5 |
Draw help, lofts, flex and hand don't change the score. They decide which version fits you, and the picks for a slice or a slow swing use them.
