WITB Notes from Callaway
On his Apex Pro 19 Irons
“This week, Schauffele has the new Apex Pro 19 Irons in the bag at Kapalua. Schauffele is particularly fond of these irons – he played with the prototype version of the Apex Pro 19 Irons throughout the end of last season and used them in his WGC win during the fall series. Xander has told Callaway Tour Reps that the weighting through the turf feels great for him, regardless of the course conditions. He also likes the look of the thin topline and the leading edge on the iron, and he’s very comfortable with the distance consistency, the window of the ball flight, and how he can shape shots.”

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.
- Check out details on the technology in our 2023 BRNR launch story.
- See more in-hand photos and read what GolfWRXers are saying in the forums.
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.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (4/5/24): I think I ‘Blacked Out’ trying to love these irons
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a set of blacked out P770 irons
From the seller: (@hammertime1515): “Just one single iron set up for grabs today. Got these right before they quote selling them at the end of February. Only played 3 full rounds with them and a couple short range sessions. 7 iron shows the most wear and 8 iron has a sandy mark on the toe (ball striking out of winter wasn’t the strong suit) Just not right for me no matter how much I wanted them to be. Price is shipped and OBO……
P770 Black Out irons. 4-PW. —New Tour Velvet Align Midsize Grips —1/2” over TM standard —2 degrees upright —Standard Lofts —Dynamic Gold 105 X100 shafts —PW has never been hit, most of them have been hit sparingly. Tried to capture the wear on the 7 iron and the toe mark on the 8 iron the best I could. Soles have virtually no scratching from use and no bag chatter. -If more pics are needed just ask ——PRICE: $1000 OBO” & Shipped
To check out the full listing in our BST forum, head through the link: Blacked out P770 irons

NO, this is Tour AD TP

I agree with previous posters, unless he has a custom black BB, this looks to be the black AD-DI.

Awesome. I like this kid and also like GW. Used to think GW was a prick but saw him help a Vet who had fallen over at a tourney. He was walking by and went over to help te Vet up. Really blew my mind about him. Hope they both have a great season and thanks for the insight guys/Wrx.

That shaft is black, so it can’t be the BB.
He used to game the BB (blue bullet) in his M3, but seems like the AD DI (black colored) was a better option for the Epic Flash SZ head.

Looks like a DI in the driver pic. Is he still using bb? And also his new apex pro irons are the same as the retail ones? Chrome finish?

No offense to this guy but I really wanted to see Woodlands WITB since he’s moved to Wilson.
Dan
Jan 7, 2019 at 1:11 am
He has new Wilson yet to be released blades 3-pw, a Ping 400 LST driver, looked like a Cobra 3wd because it had rails on the bottom, unless the new Wilson has rails on it, aWilson driving iron 2 probably the F4 or F5 , can’t remember which, he had Vokey wedges and a Scotty putter. His deal was for only 9 clubs with Wilson. His deal is so fresh he probably hasn’t had time to fail in the woods. I don’t know shaft info but look at previous WITB, the shafts are probably the same as most pros don’t mess with that too much when switching companies. Hope that helps
