That’s ridiculous Every thing was on a rope.. that’s how you good you have to be to play at that level… That being said he should win a lot more than he does tbh All time great swing and talent
Older golfer here who never became completely comfortable with today’s larger 460cc head shoebox size drivers. So I went to the 11.5 degree TM BRNR Mini Driver and it’s smaller 304cc head this year. I am hitting the ball as far but with much more confidence in accuracy. It is now fas a permanent place in my bag, replacing my former TM Stealth2 Driver. And it looks awesome as well. Luv it!!!
I'm a fellow older golfer Barry and, like you, struggled for a long time to wield one of the modern driver heads. Even though they were lighter than our old 1-woods, they look like they are hard to swing. I remember thinking, the first time I tried, that it looked like I was about to swing a VW Beetle over my head. I've eventually gotten used to my current driver but still prefer the slightly smaller 430cc heads that some brands offer. I'm very keen to give the min driver a go, if only they were more available.
@@rufussthoo4083 Even the 430cc driver was too much. I was hitting the Stealth2 Max okay, but inconsistent to the point I’d hit my 3 wood more often on some of the tighter courses. I got lucky early in the season the local golf warehouse store had one remaining BRNR Mini Driver with stiff shaft. I hit a small bucket and knew this was the driver for me. My driver accuracy has significantly improved and with no loss in yardage. I still have my old Power Built Citation persimmon 1 wood. It used to be my favorite club. I’d hit it off the tee and deck. I played that for many years even when everyone was moving to the titanium’s like the Ti Bubble, and winning some local long drive contests. Now I take it to the range once in a while and I can’t hit the darn thing😂
I can't hit a driver. I've tried everything except hippnosis. Hit my Ping 3 wood 240/250ish. The mini should give me a few extra yards without losing confidence.
@@cchsiao817 just doesn't fill a role he needs. Sometimes these guys want a spinny 3w that they can hit into greens. Scheffler specifically has a spinny setup with his because he plays a 3i instead of a 5w. Drivers you want to go as far as you can get them (accurately), pretty much every club is filling a role other than that. The mini driver doesn't do what these guys are looking for often, that's why you see few of them on tour. I'm sure there are specific players and courses where they're useful, but it isn't common.
Not saying anything against the golf club, but of course he's going to say it's nice - what else would he say - TaylorMade is paying him to be on their "team". If, by chance, he found the club to be a piece of s@#t, then no doubt this video wouldn't exist in the first place ...
These guys must have seen Rory hit a lot of balls, but the expressions on their faces after each shot suggests he still amazes them with every shot. That was a ball-striking master class.
Just got home from the range with my burner mini. Absolutely love this club. Picked it up the day they dropped, since I had been looking for last years model used. I was so excited when the notification came through about the release, that I left work and got one immediately. Set mine down to 12.5. Such and awesome club, now if only I could hit it as far as Rory😂
Dude, i was literally just thinking the same thing….why mess with the ball when you have tech now to solve it. A lot of pros complain about how forgiving drivers are these days..this would solve it all
My only worry is somehow I'll damage mine and won't be able to replace it haha. I absolutely love this club. I think I'm going to sell my driver entirely and just go mini driver. Distance loss is negligible for me, but accuracy is incredible.
i ended up getting the new 2024 copper version and i LOVE it went with the 13.5 degree and the MCC +4 midsize grip I am 59 years old and a 8 handicap off the fairway is awesome and off the tee glad i went with it to go inbetween my 9 degree driver and my 17 degree Hywood then my Qi10 Max 7 wood 22 degrees Knock on wood off the deck i have been blasting it it works great for me cheers from Canada
Played my first round today with the mini driver (stiff-stock shaft 11.5 degree with the heavier weight in front) and wow, didn't miss a single fairway. Very easy to hit and made me feel super confident off the tee. Lost around 8 yards compared to driver but didn't missed any fairways 😂. Very impressed overall. I would definitely recommend this club if you want a fairway finder that gives you pretty much the same distance as driver. 10/10
Love my BRNR. Fairway finder on steroids. Not much of a distance loss vs. the big stick. Now Titleist is in the mini game and Callaway was showing off its new AI Smoke mini at The Masters.
I just picked one up after debating over If i should or should not get one, and i seriously could bench my Stealth driver and keep this in my bag. I got the 11.5 65g stiff shaft version have it turned down to 9.5 and i hit the ball more consistently and i'm still putting the ball out in the 250 yard range. Plus I can keep my old 3 wood ( sim titanium ) in the bag too.
@@heatgrimm8664 I’m not some hack. First two rounds 74/76 from 7300 yards and the 76 was basically a greens keeper revenge round with all the pins 3 yards off the green. I get most people on the internet probably suck but not everyone
It's no wonder this club has sold out everywhere. It has that traditional look/design to it similar to the Burner 30 years ago. The shaft is 3 wood length which means it's a modern 2 wood that has more control for straighter drives on really tight golf courses. It's hits off the fairway better than today's driver. No wonder it's sold out.
Rory's very first swing is exactly why driver head size should have been capped at 400cc. The ball, iron grooves, etc aren't the "problem", the large face size of drivers to flex and generate speed is the issue. USGA should be watching this video.
I have so much more confidence hitting a more minor driver's head. As weird as this may sound, I get tentative with the 460cc drivers, but with this mini-driver, I can actually step on it. So the mini driver goes farther, and I never had 3 wood, just 17 degrees 4 wood, so this is great to fill that gap of trying to reach 260 yards 2nd shot into par 5. But before completely committing to it, I am waiting for the Callaway version, as I know they are about to launch one, too.
I absolutely love the TM acoustic (maybe more than my backup TSR3 woods). I swear TM's carbon crown coupled with that ZA Ti face has such a nice muted pop to it and the ball speed and trajectory can't be compared. Debating these days if the 2W category is going to expand into the market by other OEMs or if TM will be the main one.
Was he using the shorter shaft that comes with the BRNR or was that a standard length driver shaft on the BRNR head? Can't tell for sure but it didn't look like the shorter shaft. If it wasn't the short shaft, I would have liked to see his thoughts on it as well.
i know rory took the 3 wood out of the bag for this at the heritage but i would be thinking at places like augusta where its more about accuracy he takes the driver out for this and plays a way spinnier 3 wood his driving accuracy would be great and he still hits it a mile with this
I bought mini not even a year ago, cracked the face on it a month ago, got the replacement and within two weeks the face cracked again. I'm currently wait for the second replacement within a month. Not sure what issue is but it does not seem well constructed, especially when my clubhead speed on average is 96-98 mph.
15 handicap here , difference between a 3 wood and this mini driver? I use a steath 3wood 15 ° off the tee instead of my driver will this be the answer ?
I'm an 8. The mini compared to the 3 wood looks bigger at address and with tee as first shot or off the deck, The Mini goes further and for me straighter. I use the 3 wood for my stock distance for a 3 wood only, usually 20 yards less than the mini
The mini is even easier to hit off the tee than a 3 wood, and will go further. You could have mini, then 5 wood, then add something else low down or put a driver up top.
He seems pretty consistent. This dude could play professionally.
😂
How original 🙄
👌🤣😂🤟😂
😂
He does
...World class trajectory.... I can't believe those tracers.... that was goddamned beautiful.
pretty standard
That’s ridiculous
Every thing was on a rope..
that’s how you good you have to be to play at that level…
That being said he should win a lot more than he does tbh
All time great swing and talent
He’s the best driver of a golf ball I’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s absolutely breathtaking how well he stripes his driver.
This man would pure it with a shovel
The REAL kicker? He could absolutely destroy me using just a shovel, a putter, and a 7 iron.

I like my 905r for that reason
Do you have the heavier weight in front or back? I just ordered an 11.5.
“It’s nice” as he pumps EVERY single drive straight down the middle 300 yards! 😝
but he wont put it in his bag.....

Unbelievable ball flights. So consistent.
The ball flight on these shots is incredible. So neutral
Screw the ball rollback. Mini driver size should be the standard for the driver
Dude, i was literally just thinking the same thing….why mess with the ball when you have tech now to solve it. A lot of pros complain about how forgiving drivers are these days..this would solve it all
That is a brilliant idea!
I've got no problems with that. Im playing an old TaylorMade 320 driver anyway.
naw.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Seems to be a lot easier fix.
Got the first rerelease of the BRNR. It’s my driver and I love it. Please keep making them for years to come.
My only worry is somehow I'll damage mine and won't be able to replace it haha. I absolutely love this club. I think I'm going to sell my driver entirely and just go mini driver. Distance loss is negligible for me, but accuracy is incredible.
Absolutely agree. It’s legit my favorite club. I’d be pretty upset if something happened to it.
honestly sounds amazing
That noise, sounds awesome. Mine arrived this week.
Good Luck, bud. Rack it and Smack it!!!
His driver swing is a thing of beauty!

Nice try taylormade
What is your swing speed? Wish they had an x stoff
This id my favorite video you guys have ever posted
You could give Rory a Dunlop Loco and Rory would crush it. Comment section "i gotta get me one!" 😂😂
Rory driving a golf ball is just ridiculous! What a talent ………..
Genius to have Rory in such casual clothing for this video.
? Genius
Love my BRNR. Fairway finder on steroids. Not much of a distance loss vs. the big stick. Now Titleist is in the mini game and Callaway was showing off its new AI Smoke mini at The Masters.
I love my mini burner from last year!
The swing looks incredible here
You can see him drop his arms and how that keeps him swinging inside!! Awesome
So its back to the titamium head afterall 😊 sounds way better than carbon head
I believe the crown is Carbon and face is titanium
It's the carbon twist face, not titanium.
He is playing a different game than me. It's awesome to watch.
Man alive how straight was them shots . Just wow 😮
Recently played my first round with it Wow it’s phenomenal, it feels and looks incredible, beats my normal driver hands down
Please provide the spec, curious of shaft length.

Wow, he murders this thing. Definitely a weapon to consider
I feel like this would be perfect on links course for British open when it’s windy.
Mine gets here tomorrow 😂 I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve or something
I got mine last week, played with it 3 times since; you’re gonna love it!
You’ll still shoot 100 with it pally

Rory's hot take: Nice. 10-15 more than 3-wood. Bish bash bosh! Refreshingly simple golf advertising 👍
I removed my 3w for the miniD 2 years ago and no regrets. Can hit the mD off the deck no issue
His swing is perfection.
If you want to know what poetry looks like... this. This is what it looks like! 🤯
I think that went " ok " 🤣🤣
I feel like if you put any club in Rory's hands, he'll hit it real nice.
Rory all casual and chilling whilst crushing it 300+
Love that the mini driver is what actual drivers looked like prior to trying to make the game easier for style points
The number 2 player in the world not having tees, so relatable
Amazing swing. Great looking mini driver. What kind of shaft is it? Ventus Blue 7X or 7S? Any tipping? Love to order one just like it.
7x tipped

Good work - nailed it off the deck...Phenomenon. needs to practice the shorter clubs the woods have never been an issue
Sounds a 12/10 absolutely amazing. I'm considering switching for the sound and look alone. Not to mention it preformed so good.
Performed good for a player who is probably the best driver of all time with the most natural swing of all time.
Sooo pure
With Ernie Els, Rory has some of the golf swing I like the most. Crazy stability and easiness.
What I would give to just have that swing for a day, pure joy to watch

If there's money to be made they'll all be at it soon
More of these, I still go back and watch the Sim range session LOL
Just absolutely destroyed that patch of grass LOL
They couldn’t pick a better driver of the ball. There isn’t one. His driving is as good as anyone ever. Fact.
He is roasting those golf balls
6:10 insane
Never misfit one shot very consistent and flush 👌👌
I was a caddie back when the original Burner came out. Just about every member had one too. 😅
What shaft is he using I’m getting fitted for this Friday!
fucking sick! I bought one of these because they had just come off of demo last year the first model and I was shocked. it is incredible.
Was he using the shorter shaft that comes with the BRNR or was that a standard length driver shaft on the BRNR head?
Can't tell for sure but it didn't look like the shorter shaft.
If it wasn't the short shaft, I would have liked to see his thoughts on it as well.
Hit mine 260 Straight out of the rough today !!
keep and eye on this guy, I have a feeling he's going to be big one day.
Impressive club and player
Hope you made this one to last longer than 4 years! Sim was garbage cracking after 4 years. Hello Ping!
best swing in golf
This guy would crush it on tour
"Its a 2 wood!" sums it up perfectly
Man I need one 😂
I’ve had an aero burner mini driver when everyone was wondering why the club exists… now everyone wants to try a mini driver 😂
Now I want to see that new 4 iron "proto" being tested by Rory!
That consistency is ridiculous.
his swing is so outrageously balanced
That is a beautiful driver!!!! Love to own one
Love mine cracking ball flight and looks , pity mine only goes 215 to 225 😂😂😂
But does exactly what I want it to
i know rory took the 3 wood out of the bag for this at the heritage but i would be thinking at places like augusta where its more about accuracy he takes the driver out for this and plays a way spinnier 3 wood his driving accuracy would be great and he still hits it a mile with this

It's not the club...
@@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb sure
That swing is perfect.
so if i buy this club ill be able to hit it just like that right?
Must be nice to show up to The Kingdom and just get anything you want. 🤣
that sound... woahhh
"It's a 2 wood" is a great way to sell this
Why no dicot lines vs that huge bare spot.
is it the new Mini 2.0?
How good is that 👏
Oh, to be able to hit one 300 of the deck. He is awesome
Best swing in the game by a country mile. Robotic perfection. Numbers are just the exact same every time.
Keep grinding kid you might be pretty solid someday 🤣!
That's my divet pattern from a driver fitting
Was he hitting the 13.5°?
They probably sold a couple thousand just from this video 😂😂
Seriously lol. This is the best marketing video I’ve ever seen, I kinda hate Taylormade and I want one of these now 😂

Any idea what shaft and shaft legnth he uses? Always wondered why they dont have an option for more shafts with this club
That looks like the driver shaft IMO
Ventus Black.7 x tipped
Just use any TM adaptor 3 wood shaft. Loads available 2nd hand. I put a Graphite Design in mine.
smooth
I don’t get these mini drivers what’s the difference between those and three wood?
Flight, accuracy/forgiveness and distance all better. Super easy off the tee as has deeper face so can tee a bit higher. You can't miss.
just casually driving the green like yeah ok lol
Where was Minnie Driver in this video?
