What GolfWRXers are saying about TaylorMade’s new 300 Mini Driver
In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new 300 Mini Driver. Some WRXers have managed to get their hands on the club, and the early reviews suggest that the Mini Driver will be staying in their bags for quite a while.
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.
- MaineMariner: “I just got back from a TaylorMade wood fitting here in Pittsburgh. To be honest, I was mostly interested in getting some data on an outdoor Trackman setup because I hate hitting indoors into a screen. But I did really want to try out the Mini. Well, I was really not planning this, but I walked out $400 lighter. I can post some data later, but I was longer and straighter with the 300 Mini than I was with my current Epic Flash driver. I was straight smoking the ball, over and over and over again. For a mid handicapper, I was astonished at how well I was hitting the ball. Also, it sounds fantastic, which doesn’t hurt.”
- bladehunter: “This guy is going into the bag. Hit 20 more before leaving to go to kids b-ball practice just now. And it’s one of those clubs that just wows me right out of the gate. I have only hit 4 balls off a tee with it, the rest off the deck; that’s how good it is off the deck. And I’m not hitting off a mat. I’m on tight Bermuda. This isn’t a mini driver. It’s a big 3 wood.”
- IvanDrago: “Picked up my 11.5 yesterday. Was about 25mph wind on the course, so only used it downwind and hit some bombs. It’s very easy to hit and is a lot more confidence-inspiring than a driver on certain holes. The shaft is a noodle though. Not sure what to get for it.”
- uglande: “I just posted on another thread. Bottom line — I love it. The sound and feel are just outstanding, and I also love the look. I will be using it solely as a 1B driver and only very rarely off the fairway. I ordered a 13.5 and will be testing it with a Ventus Blue 7x after it arrives and will report back. Very impressed so far.”

The first wedge has made its way to the Three Swing Challenge! This week we have the WedgeWorks A+ grind that was recently released by Vokey. BK is looking for a new 60-degree wedge, and this could be a contender.
Why three swings?
Many years ago, the legendary Barney Adams, founder of Adams Golf told us this:
“My formula as a fitter was three shots only. I discounted No. 1 just because it was the first one, counted 100 percent of No. 2 and discounted No. 3 because the player was starting to adjust.”

I’d pay money to see anyone hit a 460cc head driver off the deck as well as you can this thing. It’s not “ just the shaft “.

There is nothing special about a 300cc clubhead
Suggest that compared to performance of a standard driver head with 43.75 inch shaft, more consistent ball striking will be similiar.
Its the shaft , stupid.
