The second generation of the bubble shaft concept refined the vibration-dampening and weight-distribution innovations of the original for improved performance and feel.
1995	Bubble Shaft Burner	Introduced TaylorMade’s distinctive bubble shaft technology, featuring a narrowed shaft section below the grip that reduced weight in the upper shaft for a lower balance point and improved swing feel. One of the most visually distinctive shaft designs in golf history, the Bubble Shaft generated significant attention and helped establish TaylorMade’s identity for innovation that challenged conventional equipment design.
1988	Burner Plus	Metal wood with an improved stainless steel head offering more forgiveness and a larger face than the original Burner. The Burner Plus expanded the Burner concept for mid-handicap players who needed more sweet spot area, representing TaylorMade’s early efforts to create accessible game-improvement metal woods before titanium construction arrived.
1983	Burner	TaylorMade’s first stainless steel Burner metal wood, delivering a larger sweet spot and more forgiveness than the persimmon wood it was designed to replace for everyday players. The 1983 Burner helped establish metal woods as a legitimate alternative to persimmon at a time when many tour players and serious amateurs were skeptical, paving the way for the metal wood’s eventual complete takeover of the market.
	Tour Burner	Tour-targeted stainless metal wood designed for professional players who wanted the ball speed and durability of metal construction in a compact, workable profile. The Tour Burner was TaylorMade’s early attempt to win over tour professionals who were resistant to moving away from persimmon woods, a critically important step in establishing the metal wood’s credibility at the highest level of the game.
1980	Pittsburgh Persimmon	A steel-headed driver produced while TaylorMade was still developing its metal wood concept, offering the durability of metal construction in a head shaped to mimic traditional persimmon woods. A transitional design that bridged the persimmon and metal wood eras and helped TaylorMade refine the manufacturing processes that would make the original 1979 metal wood concept commercially viable.
1979	Original “M1” or 1 Metalwood	The driver that changed golf forever. Gary Adams’ original stainless steel metal wood was the first commercially produced metal driver, featuring a hollow steel head that was dramatically more forgiving than persimmon and produced higher ball speeds through a larger, consistent hitting surface. Dismissed by much of the establishment at launch, the original TaylorMade metal wood eventually triggered a complete revolution in driver technology and manufacturing that made persimmon woods obsolete within a decade.

TaylorMade Driver Model History:

Did you know that TaylorMade was the very first company to make a metal driver?

That’s right, up until that historic day in 1979, all drivers had been constructed from laminated persimmon wood… hence the name ‘1 Wood’ (or the more common ‘fairway wood’ you still hear today).

It was only later, after the metal club heads began to catch on, that the term ‘Driver’ started to rise in popularity. After all, it didn’t make much sense to call it a ‘Wood’ anymore right?

Birth of the Metalwood

Gary Adams, the founder of TaylorMade, was a simple golf equipment salesman in the 1970s. But he had an idea to create a ‘wood’ made from metal.

He took out a $24,000 loan on his house, and with the help of 3 employees, created a single product:

A 12° driver cast from stainless steel.

Little did they know, these old TaylorMade drivers would change the golf industry forever!

The Original “M1” and the Pittsburgh Persimmon

When the first metal driver came out, it was simply the ‘1 Metal’, or the “M1” if you will.

But less than a year later, Adams put out a handwritten sign reading “Pittsburgh Persimmon” referring to the driver head’s steel construction.

The nickname stuck and TaylorMade began etching it into the rest of the drivers in the line.

And thus, the TaylorMade Pittsburgh Persimmon driver was born in 1980.

TaylorMade Burner Drivers by Year

The first Burner was introduced as a 7° driver in 1983.

TaylorMade also introduced different versions of the club to accommodate various golfer’s skill levels… the Burner and Tour Burner, which ultimately found its way into 147 tour pro’s bags that same year.

Later, the Burner was used to win the 1988 U.S. Open Championship by Curtis Strange, who beat out Nick Faldo in a playoff, giving TaylorMade its first major victory.

A few years later, the Bubble Shaft Burner would claim the 1994 Masters championship with just a prototype.

The official Bubble Shaft Burner was released in 1995, officially the first graphite shaft in golf.

The Burner would make a few reprises in the early to mid 2000’s, and eventually again in 2015 as the Aeroburner Driver.

The R series Drivers

In early 2002, the Inverted Cone Technology (ICT) made its debut in the R510, R540, and R580 TaylorMade Drivers.

The ICT was a major breakthrough in the industry, which significantly increased the size of the COR zone to give consistently longer tee shots. As a result, this earned TaylorMade the “Best of What’s New Award” from Popular Science Magazine.

Moreover, the R series continued to innovate the industry with the first moveable weight system introduced in 2004 with the R7.

As a result, the R series would continue through the years up to the R11 and R1 in 2012 and 2013. The R series ran from 2002 through 2013, when TaylorMade transitioned to the M series.

TaylorMade M Driver History

Next came the unveiling of the M1 (a throwback to the original M1 “1 Metal” that started it all) in 2016.

The M1 introduced the fully customizable driver setup we see throughout the industry today. Complete with 2 separate slidable weights to change between draw, neutral, and fade bias; as well as high, medium, and low launch and spin settings.

The M series continued up through the M6 in 2019.

---

SIM 2 Driver Series

It started with the original SIM in 2020, followed by the SIM 2 in 2021. The big “new” tech this time was TaylorMade’s Speed Injected Twist Face Technology, basically improving the ball speed thresholds right up to the maximum legal limit.

Stealth Driver Series

As one of the biggest developments in history, we can say: welcome to the new carbonwood era!

TaylorMade went out on a big limb when they secretly developed a carbon fiber face for their 2022 Stealth driver lineup.

The TaylorMade Stealth driver is going to be the model most golfers should get. It’s the most forgiving as a result of higher launch than the low spinning and low launch TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver model.

The TaylorMade Stealth HD driver is the model if you’re looking to either eliminate a slice, or simply just want to play mostly draws off the tee.

The next generation rolled out were the Stealth 2’s:

• The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Driver – Great mix of forgiveness and distance
• The TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus – Sliding weight, pretty low spin, longest distances
• The TaylorMade Stealth 2 HD – Draw bias with high launch

2024 Qi10 Series

The Qi10 landed in 2024 as TaylorMade’s most well-rounded driver release in years. The standard Qi10 is built for a wide range of players, blending distance, forgiveness, and workability better than the Stealth 2 it replaced, with a lower CG and higher MOI that made it noticeably more stable through impact. The Qi10 LS is the low spin version built for better players and higher swing speeds who want to maximize distance with a sliding weight that adjusts between draw and fade bias.

Tour players including Tiger Woods, Scottie Scheffler, and Rory McIlroy all put the Qi10 LS in play, which tells you everything you need to know about how it performed at the highest level. The Qi10 Max rounds out the lineup as the most forgiving of the three, with a high launch profile, mid spin, and TaylorMade’s claim at the time that it was their most consistent driver across the face ever produced. It was the first TaylorMade driver to crack the 10,000 g-cm² MOI threshold, which is a meaningful number in the forgiveness conversation.

2025 Qi35 Series

The Qi35 is TaylorMade’s 2025 driver lineup and a genuine step forward from the Qi10. The big story is CG projection — moving the center of gravity lower and deeper pushes the sweet spot higher on the face for better launch, lower spin, and more ball speed on real-world strikes, not just pure center hits. The full lineup — Qi35, Qi35 LS, Qi35 Max, and Qi35 Max Lite — features a fourth-generation Carbon Twist Face, Infinity Carbon Crown, Thru-Slot Speed Pocket, and an adjustable weight system for real trajectory control. The Qi35 Max retains 10K MOI while improving mishit distance. Aesthetically, the matte grey carbon crown and chrome sole are a serious upgrade over the glossy Qi10 finish. That said, for most golfers, the Qi10 or Qi4D will likely be the better overall value but 2025 was a big year for driver advancement.

2026 Qi4D Series

The Qi4D series dropped in January 2026 and is TaylorMade’s most fittable driver family to date. The standard Qi4D is the all-around pick, built for a wide range of players with four movable TAS weights — two 9g and two 4g — that let you dial in spin, launch, and bias more precisely than anything TaylorMade has offered before. Position the heavier weights forward for lower spin and more speed, or push them back for added stability and higher MOI depending on what your game needs.

The Qi4D LS is the low spin tour option, with a reengineered profile to cut drag and boost clubhead speed. Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood both put it in the bag immediately after release. The Qi4D Max and Max Lite are built for mid to high handicappers who want maximum forgiveness and the easiest possible launch. The Max uses an ultra-lightweight aluminum collar construction that pushes MOI even higher than the Qi10 Max, with adjustable TAS weights to fine tune the setup. Across the board the Qi4D brings a fifth-generation Carbon Twist Face and tighter spin consistency than any previous TaylorMade driver, with spin variability down to around 216 rpm compared to the Qi10’s 430 rpm. That is a real number that shows up in real results.
