Head to head

PING G440 MAX vs TaylorMade Qi35 Max driver

Choose the G440 MAX if you want to set the head for your miss and change it later, or need the lighter build.

Choose the Qi35 Max if you want TaylorMade's 10K head with nothing to adjust but the loft.

G440 MAX $447Qi35 Max $449.98, each with its shop and checked date

Each is the most forgiving head of its maker's range: both 460cc, both in 9°, 10.5° and 12° in either hand and from senior flex to extra stiff, and both score 4 of 5 here. TaylorMade puts the Qi35 Max at a 10K moment of inertia, with a 34-gram tungsten weight fixed at the back and no movable weight. PING prints no MOI figure for the G440 MAX; its 29-gram back weight can be set to draw, neutral or fade, and its hosel moves the loft 1.5° either way. PING also builds the G440 MAX in a lighter HL version for slower swings. The Qi35 Max is the older of the two: TaylorMade's Qi4D Max replaced it.
