Now we need another comparison video.
Mini driver VS 3 wood VS a forgiving driver with shorter shaft
I think that's a great idea
New graphic cuts look good. Production quality look'in pro bud.
That's my new editor, RJ. He's awesome.
Gabe, Great content. As our conversation went before on the Callaway mini shaft. I can see how much your swing just fit the Taylormade and the shaft they put into in. This can be a very big buying guide to which club someone purchases. Everyone needs to get fitted. You did great without one. Thanks.......... Vice Irons???????
Thanks Jim. I’ll be 100% honest, the Vice irons don’t interest me much at the price they are selling them for.
@@LetsPlayThru it's ok, I'll let you know when they arrive and try and get them to you. I tried many different irons at my latest fitting. I went with the 95 gram stiff shafts due to still recovering from back surgery. I will do my best to send them to you if you would want me too.
would love to see the 11.5 tested
Shat is the length of the shaft?
43.75 inches
The TM mini is magic. Never coming out of my bag. 11.5 turned up one w/ a Kaili white 70g. Best so far is 290 off a tee into an extremely tight hole (usually driving iron) dead center bird.
Center is a major theme w/ the TM. Buy it.
Can someone help me out, I just got back into golfing. I got the old super quad driver 9.5 loft stiff flex. from 15 years ago. At the range I’m hitting it 1/2 way to 3/4 way up the back net that’s 280 yards to the base. So guessing around a 300 carry with a range ball. If I upgraded to a newer driver and fitted shaft can someone tell me how much distance I could gain?
So it begs to question, have drivers gotten too big for many people to hit consistently and score lower? I have always thought drivers hit their peak performance at 400cc.
@@waywardwest I think there’s definitely an argument to be made
Very interesting point
I think shaft length is also too long for many.
(Insert your own sex joke in there as well)
Babe you just hit the first set of balls and made the Number 7 in the Fairway…..Next time try to make a 1
I just got the 13.5 TM MD…got a HZRdous black stiff shaft instead of the stock shaft. It really feels good.
I’ve just bought the new call away mini d , I put the loft up 1 degree and just use it as a strong 3 wood , I can’t complain about the results from it .
Wait wait wait!... So you Shouldn't have two 15g weights in the TaylorMade mini.
There should be a heavy 13 g weight. Mostly placed in the back. And 1.5 g weight mostly placed in the front. Because that's what's on TaylorMade's website and on my TaylorMade mini driver.
Please double check your mini.
@@gregbarthjr9621 you are correct. I misspoke there.
I’m absolutely loving my TM 300 mini. I’ve gone ahead and pulled both driver and 3 wood. Looking for a 7 wood, now. Thanks for the videos and pointing me in this direction.
Call me crazy, but:
It wasn't my original plan at all, but when I first ordered the Callaway mini it was strictly for a fairway wood replacement, but it ended up getting severely delayed in shipping, so I found one at my local shop for that weekend's round and planned to return the first one I purchased when it finally arrived.
However, what I have settled on (mostly because I have never been great with fairway woods) is I have one mini notched up to 15.5 degrees heavy weight in back and this serves as my layup tee shot club in place of fairway wood and gets me about 220-230.
I have the second mini now as my driver replacement and have it lofted down to 12.5 and switched the heavy weight to the front. it is a lower penetrating flight with much more rollout when I hit the fairway and it gets me around the 250-260 mark.
I just really like that no matter what the tee shot requires I can just put the same "driver" setup and swing principles on it and the club adjustments take care of the distance I desire on each given hole. I sold my regular driver, which I hit anywhere from 260-280 but way wider dispersion, fairways not as often, and more lost balls. this has been an incredible change for me.
That’s pretty damn cool!
@@LetsPlayThru What I meant was it was a fairway wood replacement for just OFF THE TEE, so know my second tee option is covered when shorter shots are required around the 220 range
Great video!! Love the content! If I may ask, would you be able to do a review on the Wilson Staff Utility Iron either 21° or 18°? God Bless from another Mere Mortal! 🎉
If you could get your hands on the 11.5 degree TM mini, dial it down to 9.5 and move the weights to the low spin setting, it’d be interesting to see how it would match up against your gamer. I don’t carry driver in the bag anymore, and play my TM mini in the settings I just mentioned. I value fairways hit over going marginally longer but way off the as I experience with the regular driver.
Recently purchased the TM Brnr hands down the best club I’ve ever bought, I got the 11.5dg positioned the heavyweight forward and it’s a rocket stick, looks and feels incredible and so accurate and long, on my settings there’s no difference in distance from my normal driver incredible club
It really suprised me. Never thought I'd like it as much as I do.
@@LetsPlayThru me too couldn’t believe how good it was first time I used it, it’s helped lower my handicap big time 🏌🏻♂️👍
the Taylormade 11.5* turned down to 9.5* with the adjustable hosel is an absolute BEAST!
The trend of big headed drivers is all wrong. They suck for the most part as they're just way too big and a giant head doesn't mean longer drives or for that matter much more forgiveness. Smaller heads are the way to go. My 300 - 340 cc drivers from 20 years ago are better than the beasts made today. And I've paid my dues and bought many big drivers over the years and still go back to the smaller heads. I bet that TaylorMade mini driver is a rocket launcher. Likely ordering one of those.
I can’t stand the size of the new drivers. I love the idea of going a little smaller
If you do not use the same shaft in each you are testing the driver heads... you are testing the combo and as we all know the best results will be from a proper fitting when it comes to shaft\head combo's. So, if you are not going to use the exact same shaft in each, perhaps the more appropriate way to do this is to get fitted for each and then compare those combo's head to head. Also while weight and flex are factors so is the bend profile. Shafts of the same weight and flex but with different profiles can have drastically different results. For example in this case I think we have a stiffer tip vs a softer tip as the Denali is rated at 3.7 torque and the UST is rated at 4.4.
Don’t like the look of either of these, I will be sticking to my 3/5 woods
I just bought the taylormade and love it. So consistent
Gabe, great review! Your review was for driver as it was made for but Im looking for a 3wood tee only replacement, do you think the cally might be better w that situation? With dry hot conditions here (AZ) and unlike sea level softer FL, we get more roll out here, so I need more spin and 3 wood distance for our dog legs par 4s, and thoughts? Maybe cut down Cally mini and inch and 3/4 swing? Any rumors of either offering a 15/16*? Cheers f 115*, ex Tampa kid!
Off the tee I’d say they’re pretty equal. I might still give the nod to the TaylorMade for that super tight dispersion though.
I dumped my Steath 2 in favor of the TM BRNR - way more accurate club. What I lose in distance is far outweighed by much better accuracy. I'd say 80% of golfers need one in their bag. I'd like to see comparison of the BRNR vs the Mini.
Very nice 🙌 It’s the exact same club just different badging
TaylorMade for you , Gabe. The dispersion alone was incredible, a tad longer than the Callaway as well. I like the idea of a smaller driver, but with results like this.
Yes, I really liked it off the deck especially
Semigloss. I've painted quite a few old car parts over the years. Most are that color.
I tried the older 300 series mini driver. To be frank, I hit my old Mavrik 3 wood better. Distance was similar but the ability to hit off the deck was better with a 3W, at least for me. I might swing both to see but I personally don't think they are for me.
I agree with hsdillon on the 3wood vs mini driver vs driver with a 3W shaft comparison.
Yes that will be a good comparison for sure, thanks Thomas
