One of my golf mates, has the previous version, and he binned his driver, due to the Burner Mini being more consistent, his length is better than he was with his driver, due to the improvement in efficiency. No more spending most of the round looking for his ball's in the rough. No-brainer.

Hi James… great video. I just bought the 2024 Burner MD at 13.5 degrees with regular shaft. I’m a 6 handicap. Hit a few balls on the range then played a round of golf with the Burner MD and left my driver out of the bag. Sacrificed a bit of distance off the tee (maybe 10 yds less) but hit every fairway, EVERY fairway but one. Also hit it off the deck as my 3-wood twice and hit it 235. I will replace my 3-Metal with the Burner MD. Great club

I enjoyed seeing the review on this version, def a sharp looking club. I have the 300 Mini and still put it in the bag from time to time, but I don't see it currently replacing my Ping 10K as a main stick. Great review as usual, James. I will have to keep my eye out on these, maybe trade a few older clubs in for one.

Hi James, I bought the original one when it came out and still use it. I actually had my Even Flow Driver shaft from my Rogue Sub zero cut down and the adapter changed to TM. What an amazing change, not to use the stock standard shaft. The SZ head is lying around with the other old toys and gathering dust. I also bought the 23 BRNR and love it but it certainly is different. Sometimes it doesn’t come down to new tech, just what suits an individual. Looking forward to testing the new one. Great channel, keep it up! Cheers

Great review. I've just bought a TaylorMade Burner Mini Driver 11.5 (and immediately changed the loft to 9.5) and it's a fantastic club! I cannot miss the fairway and I hit the ball as far as my regular driver 460cc. Great looks, I like the smaller size head, great feeling when I hit the ball. I really like it. Now I want to buy the 13.5 as a fairway wood (and I will turn down the loft to 15 or 15.5).

Have last years mini in the lower loft and this years in the higher loft.

Perfect separation in yardage between the two and the higher lofted mini is a breeze to hit off the deck!

Literally just picked one up today. First driver I’ve ever grabbed off a rack and hit nothing but dead straight center fairway rockets. After 10 swings in a row not missing a fairway I couldn’t help but grab it and went with the 11.5. Still need to tinker between lofts and weights on which set up will be my optimum launch condition. Great review, put it in the bag!

Hi James, I have the 2023 mini burner and I love it. My club is the 13.5 version, I would consider buying the new 2024 version in 11.5 and turning it down to 9.5 and turning up mine to 15.5. This could possibly replace a normal driver and 3 wood with essentially 1 club, 1 swing. Would be interesting to see a video with these 2 loft settings for comparison

Hi Robert, I generally use the club off the tee as I can't use my driver. Its not very often I use it off the deck , but when I do it works really well and it has a fade bias. I don't change the loft I play it in 13.5°. I love the club and would highly it. recommend it @robertgregory5158

have the last years version, 13.5 degree and then lofted up on the "higher" setting, I play this club behind my driver as a replacement 3 wood. it is one of my favorite clubs i have ever owned, and i can hit it really well off the deck, a great option for a second shot on a par 5, to make the green in 2. worth the money.

I think you should put it in the bag but back up to 13.5 loft and keep the weight forward, then you have a strong 3 wood for tight tee shots and to use from the fairway, but also a proper driver for most tee shots.

I actually did this when I bought mine. I went into the store with my current 3wood (TM Sim rocket 3wood at 13.5 degrees). I did a side by side comparison and even was able to throw the mini driver head on my 3wood shaft and got on best with that actually. The shaft in the mini is about a half inch longer but even the stiff shaft felt a little light and wobbly compared to what I’m used to. Still tinkering with adjustments for the perfect launch angle for me but in the store I was squeaking out about 25 yards more with the mini driver with a lot less effort and more consistency than my 3wood. To be fair I got the 11.5 so the difference in loft accounted for most of the distance I’m sure. But it’s a very confidence inspiring driver from the second it’s in your hands so I felt I was able to swing more freely.
@casualguy39383 ай бұрын
A smaller head causes less aerodynamic drag, which means that isn't 1 of the places you will lose distance compared with your normal driver. An important place you are going to lose distance compared with your driver is in the shaft length. I use a different mini driver, the brand isn't important, but since I built it myself I made it 44" long instead of making it a 3 wood length (about 43"). For about 12 rounds of use, I was about 10 yards shorter on my tee shots than with my driver the previous year (checked with Arrcos swing caddy) but the main difference is that I found the fairway more often off the tee. I've been lucky to be pretty accurate off the tee, but I don't even carry a driver anymore, and standing on the tee box I always have confidence that my 2nd shot is going to be from the short stuff. The cool thing is that the sole of my mini driver is such that it allows me to hit it off the deck. However, I have a 43.5" 3 wood that is only about 15 yards shorter than my driver. My big hitter friends get mad pretty often on par 4s and 5s hahaha.
