Why We Like It
- Built to fit the broadest range of player types, the standard Qi35 now straddles the line between the previous Qi10 and Qi10 Tour models.
- That difference means the Qi35 boasts a similar shape to the Qi10 but with a slightly more forward center of gravity for lower spin and better energy transfer.
- A carbon-composite crown with a chromium aesthetic saves weight for a lower center of gravity.
- A weight screw in the center of the sole allows fitters to tweak swing weight and further reduce spin.
- A forward hosel position, particularly on the higher lofts, places it closer to the leading edge for an iron-like appearance and greater sense of control.
- A slot in the front part of the sole improves the way the face flexes and gives distance a boost, especially for impacts low on the face.
- The adjustable hosel tweaks loft by 1.5 degrees, giving the lineup a loft range of 15.5 to 26.5 degrees.
- Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps
- 17, 19, 22, 25 degrees (with a 12-way adjustable hosel)

Impact produces a good, strong thump. I found this hybrid dug into the turf in a hurry. It's great for someone needing help out of the rough, but may not be for someone who gets too steep.
Shane
36, Handicap 15

Smooth and propulsive club. I could feel the head all the way through the swing and it's almost as if it blended into the ball at impact. Long, forgiving, straight, true. Toe hits still carried nearly the same distance.
Scott

Love the blend of carbon fiber and gun metal. It's fresh and comfortable. Beautiful feel and performance. Club ripped through the turf with a satisfying crack at impact. Warms you up instantly, like that first perfect cup of coffee.
RC

I need to try the 4-hybrid. This is very strong, though. The head is a little smaller than most, yet it's still forgiving. Quite playable no matter where you hit it. Holds the line pretty good.
Robert

The gray carbon head is not my preference, but the clubhead still looks small and it's easy to square to the ball. A little on the loud side. Performed well and flew five yards longer than I typically hit a 3-hybrid. I was also able to work it both ways and the club seemed to not overdo mistakes: A draw didn't become a hook.

The perfect mini pear-shaped hybrid. I like the two-tone design—it fits with the shape and size of the head. Alignment aid helps square the ball up. Shots have a nice feel off the face. I did get some variation and feedback based on where I hit it on the face. Good forgiveness. Toe and heel hits still travel relatively straight, no more than 10-15 yards off line.
Paul
63, Handicap 4
10+ years testing
Turf interaction was excellent. Shots, however, were all over the board—low, high, spinny, left, right. I know when my swing is off, and this wasn't one of those instances. Dead feel to the face, instead of a pop or jump
Thomas
60, Handicap 7

Carbon weave makes small, compact head look even smaller. It's squat, but it sets up nicely behind the ball. Very powerful. Longest numbers I've seen so far. The ball just explodes off the face. High, penetrating ball flight is standard.
Sean
53, Handicap 6

Easy to hit. Ball jumps off the club. I'm not sold on the gray carbon fiber look yet, but I love that it's adjustable. Overall good feel. I find it easy to move the ball from left to right.
Ricky

Consistency, consistency, consistency. I was able to hit a bunch of different shots with it. Chased one down the fairway, then hit one higher, and higher again. I love the gray finish. Good to see something a little different.
Matt
27, Handicap 5

It looks really good. Great shape and size to the head. I really like the carbon fiber backing. Sort of brings it back to its M family roots. Face is soft—kind of like you're hitting a marshmallow—but not spinny, which is awesome. I hit one that was chunky and it still flew 220—on a rope!. Even when you miss, it goes. Tight dispersion.
Alan
30, Handicap 1

The hosel shape blends into the face seamlessly, giving off the appearance of a large hitting surface. Performed really well on chunked shots. The boxier sole meant I could get down into the turf real aggressively. It's elite out of the rough, which is a useful thing to have in a hybrid.
Jin
30, Handicap 13
1 year testing
The first thing I noticed was the the deep, echoey sound at impact. It sounds and feels heavier than most hybrids, like you're hitting an iron. Clubhead looks small and sleek. I wish the crown of the club was more uniform. Very high launching, but spin wasn't an issue given the height.
Anand
43, Handicap 6
10+ years testing
Sound and feel offer instant feedback. When you hit it solid in the middle of the face, it has a muted sound. Toe and heel shots sound thin and louder. If you come slightly over the top and hit a slice, this club will definitely help you get a tighter dispersion. Overall good dispersion and turf interaction.
Skylar

Weight was a little on the lighter side, which made it easy to control. Shots got really good height and distance. Super consistent—you can play any sort of shot with it. A nice muted sound while still being confidence-inspiring.
Sándor J.

This club is a monster! It FLIES. Looks fantastic, too. Easy to control and workable—left, right, straight. ...everything. I did not hit many bad shots.
Daniel
33, Handicap 12

For a smaller head, it felt very robust at impact. Surprised how meaty it was through the ball. Slightly lower ball flight but still plenty of carry.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6
2 years testing
Performance was really good with nice distance for my swing speed and ball speed. Club transfers power from the swing very well. Mis-hits were fairly forgiving, but a drop off from other hybrids. Penetrating, low ball flight is made for hitting into the wind, although I'd like to see a higher ball flight.
Alex
40, Handicap 11

Two-piece face and crown looks a bit clunky. Lots of softness and forgiveness in the face while still being powerful. Consistent mid-height trajectory. Sweet spot contact resulted in 10-15 yards gains in distance.
BK
41, Handicap 1

Very consistent launch window and playability. Distance was a little inconsistent. I got more out of good shots than some other clubs. Dispersion was tight on my misses. Definitely a club you can play to stay out of the rough.
Jamie
51, Handicap 5
2 years testing
I hit some real bombs when I hit the center of the face, but it was difficult to control the trajectory on off-center hits, depending on where you hit it from top to bottom. When I gave my swing a little extra, the ball just went farther offline, which speaks to the lack of forgiveness.

With a focus on forgiveness, this model is the highest launching of Cobra’s hybrids and features a larger head size than the King Tec.
