On this day, TaylorMade unveiled its new driver Qi35. Lee Dong-eun is also one of the Qi35 models and will try to win the 2025 season. Lee Dong-eun "Last season used the Qi10 Max model. The Max model is highly tolerant. However, the Qi35 released this time is as tolerant as the existing Max model even for core models that are not Max models. So this year, we're going to replace it with a core model. "Using a TaylorMade driver, I've improved my distance and gained confidence. This helps me to hit long balls" he said.
