The Qi Max replaced the Qi, and TaylorMade's own chart rates both High for forgiveness; both score 3 of 5 here. By TaylorMade's tables they share the 28° 7-iron, every lie and every length; the Qi Max's 8-iron is half a degree weaker, its pitching wedge half a degree stronger and its lob wedge a degree stronger. TaylorMade gives the Qi Max a reduced-offset hosel (3.9 mm at the 7-iron; the Qi's US page prints no offset), a face that flexes evenly across its whole area and a larger ECHO Damper.
TaylorMade's game improvement iron before the Qi Max, with the same 28° 7-iron. TaylorMade says it built the face against the right miss that most game improvement irons favour, and its own chart rates its forgiveness High, as it rates the Qi Max's.
TaylorMade's game improvement iron: a face built to flex evenly across its area, a 28° 7-iron and 3.9 mm of offset at the 7-iron, less than a super game improvement head.

Two game improvement irons of the same year that their makers rate High for forgiveness, a step below the Qi HL and the Ai Smoke HL, and both score 3 of 5 here.
