Imagine six passionate golf content creators diving deep into a full-bag fitting experience at some of the biggest club manufacturers. They’ve been put to the test to provide insights that could change how we play the game.

The Crew’s Experience
These lucky testers found themselves exploring a world of high-tech equipment and discovering just how personalized their gear can be. To no surprise, half of the panelists opted to stick with their original mini drivers or 3-woods due to their exceptional performance. Sounds like a strong endorsement, right?
TaylorMade Rides High with the r7 Quad Mini
One of the standout pieces of equipment was the TaylorMade r7 Quad Mini. Testers loved its versatility, allowing them to easily draw or fade the ball while performing excellently from both the tee and the fairway. With a spin rate of 3288 RPM, it offered a balanced performance compared to their previous 3-wood, giving that extra confidence off the tee.
Qi4D Series Shines Bright
Another gem from TaylorMade is the Qi4D. One panelist found it to be a reliable option for off-the-deck shots, similar to their previous club, bringing familiar comfort to their game. The impressive Qi35 model didn’t go unnoticed either, boasting speed and forgiveness that caught the attention of many with carry distances ranging from 245 to 255 yards and spin rates hitting between 3200-3600 RPMs.
Callaway and Titleist Make Impressive Strides
But wait, there’s more! Callaway introduced the new Quantum Max fairway wood, which surprised testers with its high launching capabilities, proving to be a favorite for many. Titleist also stepped up to the plate with their GT2 model, showcasing strong performance off the deck. These models created quite the buzz, showing that competition in golf equipment is fierce!
Cobra Offers a Strong Alternative
Then there’s Cobra’s King Tec Mini, which caught the eye of a panelist who was previously using the TaylorMade Burner Mini. With its impressive performance metrics, Cobra certainly proved itself as a viable alternative.
TaylorMade’s Unprecedented Dominance
As testing wrapped up, it became clear that TaylorMade was in a league of its own, dominating in several categories including best overall, best for forgiveness, and low-spin fairway woods! Incredible! The only category where TaylorMade didn’t snag the win was distance, which went to Callaway’s Quantum Max, featuring impressive carry distances.
Impressive Design and Performance Enhancements
What makes TaylorMade’s Qi4D series a game changer? The design changes that allow for improved adjustability, consistency, and overall performance metrics are just a few of the highlights. They even added an exciting 24-degree 9 wood variant, making sure all types of players feel included!
Forgiveness and Feel at Impact
One of the most talked-about aspects of the Qi4D fairway wood is its exceptional feel and sound at impact. Many testers reported that this aspect greatly enhanced their overall golfing experience. When golfers prioritize individual fitting, it’s incredible to see how much performance can improve.
Final Thoughts
The take-home message from the Fully Fit 2026 project is clear: personal fitting experiences truly matter! The feedback from various fittings reinforces that the Qi4D series stands out as a versatile club for golfers of all levels.
