TM BRNR Mini Custon Driver

[rgk5]

have you hit the brnr? its fine if you think its a waste of money. just hit one if you can find one and i bet you will change your mind. it spins so low its kinda crazy.

Why would I want to do that? My F9 keeps my spin between 2300 and 2600 RPM, perfectly fine.

The demographic is the dude that been playing for a while but is not straight off the tee with the driver looking for that magic club. Unfortunately the real fix is the swing!

You mean me. Today hit the driver three times. Once on fairway - par. Other two times under a tree and in a pond. 7 with a chip in and an 8. Also used the mini driver several times. Today not much better and two lost balls with dead pulls.

I have an OG sldr mini 16* sits 4* open and prefect to my eye at set up. It has been in my bag for years and I will never sell. It’s almost a guaranteed fairway finder. But I use it strictly as a 3 wood off the tee and don’t even attempt hitting it off the fairway. Not sure how useful an 11.5* mini driver would be to anyone but making one in 15-16 degree for a tee only fairway wood would probably get more attention from the masses.

Why don't more people embrace a short driver instead of these mini-drivers ?
Surely there is benefit in forgiveness with 460cc vs 260cc.

Any modern driver with adjustable weights can be played at 44" with aftermarket weights, or even shorter.
Lie Angle is less of an issue with lower lofts, vs higher lofted clubs.
A driver like Titleist's offerings lets one adjust Lie Angle for 0.75* or 1.5*.

Playing a shorter driver has made a huge difference for me. Better contact and more fairways since switching to 44.5" driver.

I've tried one of TM's mini driver in a simulator and I don't see the point. Harder to hit off the fairway and less forgiving than a driver. If people like it as a driver replacement why not try to find a higher lofted 460cc driver. My dad switched from a 10 degree to a 12 degree driver and gained distance and forgiveness.

Golfed with a guy this morning who had the BRNR Mini 11.5, dialed down to 9.5. He was crushing it long and straight, but he also had a Rogue driver in the bag that he hit equally as well. I hit it on one hole -> had really nice feel and sound, though it flew too low for me -> I game a 12* driver.

Golfed with a guy this morning who had the BRNR Mini 10.5, dialed down to 9.5. He was crushing it long and straight, but he also had a Rogue driver in the bag that he hit equally as well. I hit it on one hole -> had really nice feel and sound, though it flew too low for me -> I game a 12* driver.

Do you mean the 11.5, I don't think it comes in a 10.5. I have one and fits in my bag for a few holes on my home course so I am happy with it.

^^^ corrrect, an 11.5
