Rory McIlroy's Raw, Uncut BRNR Mini Driver Testing Session | TaylorMade Golf

Спорт

Team TaylorMade's Rory McIlroy was up at The Kingdom in Carlsbad earlier this year where he came to test some new clubs for this year. During that testing session, he saw and hit the BRNR Mini Driver Copper for the first time and gave his honest thoughts and feedback. He even shouted out that he might put it in play at Harbour Town, which is exactly what he did this week.

    @@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 ...

    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😂

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @jasonwalker8028

    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 love my driver but hate 3 woods off the tee. Got this and it's magic. So when I can't hit driver or have to find fairway this thing is incredible. I don't hit 3 wood off the deck, but as Rory proved this club does allow that also. Off the tee though, it's a machine
