- Sold on hitting a repeatable carry number, using a 450 stainless body with a carbon crown. ↗
- The cut-through Speed Pocket is claimed to cut spin on strikes low on the face. ↗
- TaylorMade pitches it as holding a steep descent angle so shots stop on the green. ↗

Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
2 min read
Identical on every published number: 17°, 19°, 22° and 25°, the same ±1.5° sleeve, the same 40.25" build, both hands, both at $299.99 at launch.
TaylorMade's case for the Qi4D Rescue is about the face and the weighting, and it doesn't come with a figure we can put next to the Qi35. Neither page publishes a head volume, so that row is empty on both sides.
Our read: keep the Qi35 Rescue. When two clubs share every loft, every length and the same adjustment range, a new name is not a reason to spend $300. If you want to know whether the new head actually launches differently for you, that's a launch monitor question, not a spec question.
