What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

But the logo on their wedges is NOT a shamrock. It’s a four-leaf clover. An entire marketing campaign about the Irish and St Patrick’s Day, based on the wrong symbol! Looks like Callaway has been made aware of this mistake – last night they changed the name of the clubs to Lucky Clover instead of Shamrock!

Gimmicks to sell bad products wow.. You should have made a forged version and it might would have worked. I have played Callaway wedges from the beginning, the X models are legendary!! But the MD3’s are the worse wedges ever. For the first time ever I bought a different brand wedges this year..I hope you fired who ever decided not to do forged this year.

Similar feedback from my playing partner. Loves the shape but hates the clicky feel and jumpy face. Forged Cally wedges have always felt great. Not this model though.
