Different clubs for different players... I love my Mini but it is a driver replacement and not a fairway wood, I pair it with a strong 5 wood(16.5lofted G425) and it's a killer combo for shorter/tighter courses.

That last shot and comment is basically my whole round.

Good video. I primarily and only keep the mini driver as an off the tee alternative when my driver is acting up or when I'm playing a course that I know I have to find the Fairway off the tee. PS love the last clip at the end 🤣

You're brilliant off the deck with that 2 wood! So accurate

Thanks for showing that newer TM mini driver can be a fairway finder option for those who struggle with driver off the tee, or hit it to far into hazards on certain par 4 or 5's. 307cc head, twist-face, & shorter shaft.

Thanks for answering my question. I'm over 50yrs old so I need accuracy as distance has been getting less as I age. This video shows me that I don't need to pay over $200 for 10 yards. My Cobra F9 irons can make up the distance on my 2nd shot. I'm going to research 3 woods now. Thanks again for making this video.

TM 300 Mini is one of my all-time favorites. I just ordered the Brnr mini to see how it compares.

The mini driver is a 2 wood.

Well that answers that question. Need something in between my 10.5 degree driver and 18 degree hybrid. Was tossing up between a mini driver and a 3 wood. The mini driver would get used at most twice off the tee at my home club, hitting off the deck on par 5’s is far more important and a 3 wood that can do both seems a much better option

Love my 2 wood :-)

I'd like to see you test the TSR2 3 wood. Maybe even TSI2 3 wood. I think they would suit you well.

Found 1995 Titleist DTR Driver for $9 , it's my fairway finder 240 yards (I can't hit my 2 modern drivers - I should sell them , but they are gifts ) For long par 5's it's Driver off the deck or 3 H or 3 Iron , mind you I just purchased C510 five iron with TT 300 S shaft only played it one round so don't know the yardage yet ,but it flies ....;-)

good video, I struggle with this decision a lot . I have a tm mini at 13 and a tsr2+ at 13.5 . Both avg. about 260 for me . I try to make my choice depending on the course I play as I prefer the tm mini off the tee .

nice vid, I don't think you have the speed to play either, or distinguish between either tbh. Just need a driver and something you enjoy hitting off the ground for most distance, which is probably a 3 wood.

I see another tube coming

is this the mini brnr?

The real question is why would you ever hit the 2wood off a tee when you blasted 4 or 5 straight long ones in a row off the deck?

Sometimes I just feel like the clubs at the top of the bag just don't really matter, like I could play good golf with just about anything. Maybe a mini for consistency, a 17 degree uw for tee balls or long fairway shots, then just good irons beyond that is all I really would need. Makes me want to get rid of my driver and 3 wood.

The shaft that is the only option from TM sucks. I put in a chopped down GD IZ-6, and it's about even with my driver. I hit down vs. up on it. I have the 13.5 head and a 16.5 4 Wood when I don't want to use my Driver

Team mini driver all the way

In only 1 of the 4 situations did you have a consistent ball flight, not missing both ways - i.e. the Strong 3+ off the deck. This was important for my own journey to scratch - building clubs in the long end of the bag that have a predominant shape. For me, all clubs longer than 5 iron, you want to have a 95% likelihood of delivering a specific shape - nothing else matters in comparison. If you can't control curvature, you don't know where to aim.

No one ever does an exact comparison. Hitting a 3 wood with the same exact loft would be much closer. I no longer use a driver but instead use a cobra 3 wood set at 12.5 degrees and it's straight both off the tee and off the deck. Driver is not worth 15 yards because it's usually the wrong 15 yards.

Just bought a taylormade the one mini driver 2019 since my driver is a bit inconsistent. It didnt come yet but today my driver is really good. I dont know if i should cancel shipment. I guess i could just rock it with the driver???

I really just don't see the need for ever having a mini driver

10 yards differences after 250 yards makes no differences. Not worth carrying an extra club!

Sound volume stimks

You need to pre-load your impact position. Meaning get into the athletic stance that you would have at impact as you address the ball and then swing. (Keeping your hips a bit strong to the left). Put the point of your elbow on the target rather than pointed towards your left shoe. This will start you making strong left pulls. (No big right miss). Then you can work back from there. Currently you look stapled to the ground at address and trough back swing. Your hips can’t fire through because you are super white and your best dance move is the hokey pokey…or that you are planted like a tree. 😅. You’re welcome.

The mini driver is a replacement for driver not 3 wood.
