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.”

@jgpl001…”If he was a Golfwrx member this would be ok and expected, but he is a tour pro.” THEE best line of the month! So freakin’ funny! And TRUE! Did I mention I have a cool set of imaginary blades? Love my Zunos MP20 HMBeeeeees!!

Love the comments. Wasn’t DD with PXG a year ago, then Cobra last and now Titliest? Maybe he is just collecting bags and gear to sell on Golfwrx?
Chris Kirk- love this guy. Recovering like myself. Not affraid to play what works and if anyone wants his GBB TC 9.0 head I have one with an ATX Green Tour stiff ready to rock.

Trusty is Rickies irons are likely some of the easiest on tour to hit. Folks are scared of what they don’t know.

Rickie should go back to the ProV1….he’s done nothing since switching to the Taylor Made soccer ball.
Brandon

He should also go back to playing irons a human can hit.

He really is suffering from I wanna look cool playing brutal blades and it ain’t working.
If he was a Golfwrx member this would be ok and expected, but he is a tour pro

He needs to be a Titleist Staffer. Same set up as Justin Thomas minus the putter.
