After reviewing the new TaylorMade Burner Mini Driver, we may need to seriously reconsider making some room for it in the golf bag. If you are struggling to keep your traditional driver in the fairway, trying the Burner Mini is a no brainer. Plus it looks amazing.

I got one last week in the 13.5 loft and with 3 rounds in, I've got to say I love this club. I'm one that has always struggled with the driver especially with consistency. I know "take lessons and become better"... but sometimes getting better is easier said than done. For some reason this club is just made for me. While when I really connect with my best driver hit its about 15 yards longer than this mini, on average I'm not only hitting this at my average driver distance, my consistency has been off the charts and I just can't seem to miss a fairway with this thing. So yes by all means giggle and call it a 2 wood or call it a gimmick but I call it my favorite club in my bag.

Good content. I game the 300 mini at 13.5* as a 3-w replacement on my home course which has multiple 3-w tee shots but VERY few 3-w approaches or layups. It’s almost un-missable. A nice addition to my bag. Good luck with the channel.

Kyle, great review! I'm glad you chose that product. I've been looking at other reviews but really like your analysis. I've always liked the TMade woods over other brands. I'm currently still swinging an R11 with a 40g Riptide shaft. I generally hit about 10-12 fairways with it, but am interested in this mini. I'm in Oak Island, so I'm probably gonna come in and see you guys soon. Keep the vids coming. Love listening to all of the panel comments on various topics.

This club is definitely worth a try! Thought it was a bit of a gimmick at first... but it quickly proved us wrong. It's a GREAT fairway finder off the tee if you are struggling with your main driver or if you're playing a course with super narrow fairways and need a bit of added confidence.

@@michaelwhite8778 the shaft can be 3 wood length but really we can cut it to whatever length the player wants it.

Id buy one if i could change the color :(. My swing speed is about the same as yours (117-123). Been playing my original one mini 11.5 for 2 years now with a 1k orange pro 60g tx full length driver shaft to keep the launch and spin as low as possible. I've tried going back to a normal driver 5 times with different ones and keep coming back. it goes nearly as long with a full length shaft(would be the same if i could lower the loft more). The misses off the toe are much more manageable as you said. I am tempted to try the new vanquish 40tx shaft with it(i liked the 50g 1k but a friend snapped it), but the mid launch profile has me second guessing the purchase. The lighter shafts do help offset the head weight of the mini with a driver shaft.

I hit my driver 315 yards or so, but I cannot stand the large face of the new drivers anylonger, I prefer smaller faces like my irons to keep my contact in check. I am switching to this thing, I can hit it off the deck better than a driver, my accuracy should improve and the look will be much better for me, and I hope to only lose around 15 yards. Getting the 11.5 and will drop it down to 10 degrees most likely.

I just don’t see the point of a $450 2 wood! Go get a few lessons to learn how to square your club face and aim! That’ll cost you $50/ lesson, and GUARANTEE your game will get a lot better than a “magic” club! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 better yet just buy a shorter shaft from Grips for less, again $100! I was just fitted for the Gen 5 driver at 9 degrees and shortened it from my M6 by an inch! I picked up 30 yards and I’m hitting a lot more fairways! Oh I took some lessons too, and shot 74 on a par 72 Friday!
