TaylorMade Qi Irons Specs: Full Loft, Lie & Offset Chart (2024-2025)
The 2024-2025 TaylorMade Qi lineup includes three models: Qi Standard, Qi Max, and Qi HL (High Launch). All share the same lie progression and shaft lengths per club number, but differ in lofts, head profile, and forgiveness. Below is a complete spec reference plus guidance on how to apply the numbers to your bag.
How to Use This Specs Chart
Use these steps to compare the Qi line against your current irons or to decide between models. Always confirm final specs with a dynamic fitting before ordering custom sets.
Preparation: What You Need Before Starting
- Your current iron specs (loft, lie, length) – especially the 7-iron and PW numbers
- Your typical ball flight (low, mid, high) and miss pattern (heel/toe)
- Swing speed range (if known) – useful for choosing between Standard and HL
Ordered Action Sequence
- Pick your target model – Standard for balanced playability, Max for maximum forgiveness, HL for higher launch with slower swing speeds.
- Check the loft gaps – Standard uses a 3-4° gap through the set; Max has a 3.5° gap from 8i to PW; HL uses weaker lofts with 4° gaps. If your current set has tighter gaps (2.5°), you may need to bend the PW or add a gap wedge.
- Compare lengths – Lengths are identical across models for the same club number. If your current irons are +0.5” or -0.5”, adjust the Qi specs accordingly.
- Verify lie angles with your fitter – The 1° lie progression is standard, but if your current lies are 2° flat/up, order custom.
Branch: What If the Loft Gaps Feel Too Large?
If you normally play a 46° PW or prefer smaller scoring gaps, consider replacing the Qi AW (48°) with a separate wedge or having the PW bent 1° strong. The HL model has a 44° PW and 49° AW – a 5° gap many players find too wide; order the AW bent to 50° or include a separate sand/lob wedge.
Stop / Escalate Threshold
Stop DIY adjustments and consult a certified fitter if:
– Your current lie angle is more than 2° flat or 2° up from the Qi standard lie (e.g., you play a 62° 7-iron and Qi is 63°).
– You need offset specs that aren’t published in this reference (see note below).
– You plan to bend the hosel by more than 2° – cast clubheads can crack.
Do not order a full set based solely on this chart without verifying loft and lie via a fitting session. TaylorMade offers a free fitting portal; use it before spending $1,000+.
Common Mistake / Failure Mode
The most frequent error: assuming the offset is the same across all Qi models. Offset is not listed in this reference because TaylorMade does not publish a single value for the 2024-2025 Qi line. If you order Standard expecting the same offset as Max, you may find the Max head has noticeably more offset (designed to square the face at impact). Without measuring, you could end up with a left-bias or right-bias that feels unplayable. Always ask your fitter to measure offset on the actual head you intend to buy, or request a TaylorMade spec sheet for your serial number.

Key Takeaways
- Qi Standard uses conventional modern lofts with a 43° PW. The 4-iron at 18.5° is strong but typical for game-improvement sets. Best for mid-handicappers who want a blend of forgiveness and workability.
- Qi Max has a 42.5° PW (0.5° stronger than Standard) and adds a 58° lob wedge. The Max head is larger and heavier for maximum stability. Ideal for higher-handicap players or those who prioritize directional consistency over distance gapping.
- Qi HL (High Launch) uses weaker lofts across the board: 7-iron at 30° vs 28° in Standard. This raises launch angle and spin, making it the go-to for slower swing speeds (below 75 mph with a 7-iron) or players who need help getting the ball airborne.
- Swing weight is consistent D1 through the set for Standard, with D2 for wedges. Qi Max and HL likely follow the same pattern, but assume variation if you change shaft length or weight.
- All models share identical lie angles and lengths per club number. You can mix models (e.g., Qi Max long irons + Qi Standard mid/short) without length issues, but lie angles will match only if you order the same model for every club.
FAQ
What is the difference between Qi Standard and Qi Max?
The Qi Max has a stronger PW (42.5° vs 43°), a half-degree stronger 8-iron (32.5° vs 32°), and includes a 58° lob wedge. The Max head is also larger for more forgiveness. Lie angles and lengths are identical for the same club number.
Which Qi iron model launches the highest?
Qi HL launches highest because it has the weakest lofts: a 30° 7-iron vs 28° in the other models. Players with swing speeds below 80 mph gain 2-3° more launch and 200-300 rpm more spin with HL.
Do the Qi irons use different shaft lengths per model?
No. For the same club number (e.g., 7-iron), the length is the same across Standard, Max, and HL at 37.25″. Length differences only occur between club numbers within each set.
Where can I get custom lie or loft adjustments?
Lie and loft can be bent up to 2° by a certified club fitter. Because cast heads are less forgiving than forged, exceed 2° and you risk cracking the hosel. Always use a TaylorMade-certified fitter and ask for a lie/loft measurement after bending.
What if I need offset data that isn’t in this chart?
Offset is not published for the 2024-2025 Qi line in this reference. Contact TaylorMade customer support with your club serial number to request a spec sheet, or ask your fitter to measure offset with a gauge before ordering.
