Published

Fujikura’s new Atmos Tour Spec shafts made their official debut on the PGA Tour last week, where several players were testing them in their metal woods.

The new shafts are “designed and developed for the tour,” according to Fujikura, and distinct because of their “flighted” design. They’re available in three different models and will sell for $300 each when they’re released on March 1.

Fujikura describes the Atmos Tour Spec shafts as “flighted” because of their progressive construction, which seeks to help golfers optimize their performance with each of their metal woods. Each Atmos Tour Spec shaft is designed with the same flex in its handle section, giving all three shafts a similar feel, but the construction of each model’s mid and tip sections are different to create three distinct trajectories.

  • Atmos Tour Spec Red: Highest-launching Atmos shaft
  • Atmos Tour Spec Blue: Middle-launching Atmos shaft
  • Atmos Tour Spec Black: Lowest-launching Atmos shaft

The Atmos Tour Spec Black has the stiffest mid and tip sections to create the lowest trajectory, while the Atmost Tour Spec Red has the softest mid and tip sections to create the highest trajectory. The Atmos Tour Spec Blue fills the middle ground.

More weights and flexes will be available for PGA Tour players to test this week at the Career Builder Challenge in La Quinta, Calif. The shafts will also be available for golfers to test at the PGA Merchandise Show January 24-27 in Orlando, Fla.

TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper: Leveraging 90s nostalgia

Published

on

TaylorMade is leaning in even further to the retro vibes with the 2024 edition of its BRNR Mini Driver.

Patterned after the Carlsbad-based company’s iconic late 1990s Burner driver design, the 2024 BRNR Mini features similar copper styling and a retro version of the TaylorMade logo.

Featuring the same technology as its 2023 BRNR Mini Driver, the 2024 edition continues to play the hits that saw the unique club land in the bag of tour pros, such as Tommy Fleetwood and Jake Knapp.

Why play a mini driver?

In general, TaylorMade finds two types of golfers gravitate toward a mini driver. In the first case, it’s an addition to a standard driver: Players looking for a “fairway finder” driver without giving up too much distance that can also be hit off the deck. Second, TaylorMade recommends giving a mini a go to golfers who struggle to hit 460 cc drivers, particularly choppers. It’s a better alternative than a 3-wood off the tee.

Tommy Fleetwood’s endorsement of playing a mini driver

“For me, if I HAD to hit a fairway, I’m more comfortable hitting a driver than a 3-wood. I would tee the driver down, and I would hit a little cut, or a neck-y cut in the fairway. The 3-wood isn’t for that. The 3-wood, generally, is a pretty hot club that I’ll hit from 270 or 280 in the fairway on a par 5. You get some courses where a 3-wood is not always necessary. [With the BRNR] you put a normal swing on it, and I’m more comfortable hitting it straight. It’s a replacement for a 3-wood, basically.”

Pricing, specs, availability

TaylorMade’s new BRNR Mini Driver Copper clubs will sell for $449.99 in 11.5 (RH/LH) and 13.5 (RH) degree options, and they will be available for custom orders.
