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.

RobS: “Ping Glide 3.0 gives you some forgiveness in a traditional profile wedge, and they also give you some grind/bounce options. Great wedges.”
Red4282: “Forgiveness in wedges really doesn’t exist. Loft is the overriding factor. I mean, you could get a bigger wedge for more face area-would help with shanks. The other thing is just making sure you have correct sole grind and bounce for your swing and conditions.”
hammergolf: “Cleveland CBX Zipcore. Ping Glide 3.0/4.0.”
teedub21: “Just put a CBX Zipcore 56 into play. Had the original CBX that went in and out of my bag over the last couple of years. The CBX Zipcore looks smaller at address, feels better, is heavier (original CBX was on the light side), silly good out of the sand and easier to hit on full shots than my bladed wedges.”
Roejye: “Another vote for the CBX Zipcore here. I bought a 56°, and when I demoed it, it felt really good; I like the weight of it. It’s not a miracle worker; I did lose some distance on the fat shots. The thing I really liked though, the spin. I have never spun a ball back on course, and on the sim at the store I did. I know that spin will go down on the course, but it was nice to see that a few times.”

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Gianni Magliocco

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.”
