Is TaylorMade's Qi4D Driver The Model To Beat In 2026? Plus, High Handicapper Wedge Issues Solved & Why Are Older Drivers On Tour Not Pulled For Creeping?

It's all go here at KPHQ to start 2026, and our first big driver release of the season is upon us. While we feel like we've already given plenty of airtime to TaylorMade's Qi4D since we first saw it in November, we can now talk about it without the shackles of woke embargoes limiting Joe from going into full flow. And that's exactly what he does this week with his full verdict on the full family of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, Qi Max irons and the new technologies that aim to make Qi35 a distant 12-month memory. But we're not just focusing on this major release this week. We've got a huge backlog of Ask The Pods to work through, and the three this week cover wedge issues for higher handicap golfers, the actual reason why Bryson DeChambeau uses such unique equipment and why old driver models on Tour (like Aaron Rai's M6) have yet to be caught out for creeping.
