“A lighter-swinging version of the Max Rescue, with a lighter shaft and lower overall weight to help members with slower tempo generate more clubhead speed. It carries the same forgiving, high-MOI head as the Max, just built to be easier to swing. Worth pulling out for anyone struggling to get the standard Qi35 rescue airborne.”

TaylorMade's Qi35 Max Lite Rescue extends the Qi35 'Carbonwood Era' down to slower swing speeds, pairing an ultra-light head, shaft and grip build with the same Twist Face and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket tech seen across the line. It drops the adjustable hosel entirely so engineers could put more of the budget into forgiveness and a lower, more forward CG for players who need help getting the ball airborne with less clubhead speed. It sits below the standard Max Rescue as TaylorMade's easiest-launching rescue club for 2025.

A 2025 slow-swing-speed rescue release with no track record yet; lightweight game-improvement hybrids like this rarely build cult followings regardless of how well they perform.

Best for seniors and slower-swing-speed players (roughly sub-85mph driver speed) who need a lighter overall build to generate speed and easy, high launch from a hybrid.

• Removes the adjustable hosel found on other Qi35 hybrids so engineers could dedicate more of the design to forgiveness (Today's Golfer).
• Uses a new Chromium Carbon material in a multi-material head combining aluminum, steel and carbon (TaylorMade product page).
• Features a lighter-weight head, shaft, and grip package specifically to help slower swing speeds generate more clubhead speed (2nd Swing Golf).

Part of TaylorMade's 2025 Qi35 'Carbonwood Era' launch alongside Qi35 and Qi35 Max, extending the forgiveness-first Max concept into a dedicated lightweight Lite tier.

Brand new for 2025 at full retail (list pricing tracks the standard Max Rescue's $299); no meaningful used market yet, expect used prices to settle near $180-220 once next year's model displaces it.
