Yes, another SLDR mini driver thread

Ive played 2 rounds with mine now.

Quite like it. I went for the 14 degree

It hasnt got rid of my bad swing :p but the bad shots are alot better than my previous clubs.

I was playing an rbz tp tour spoon 13 degree before hand. The mini feels more consistent off the face. Doesnt feel as powerful as my old spoon. Early days yet though. Its playing around 235-240 carry at the moment. I thought it would be a tad longer as thats what my standard 15 degree 3 wood plays around
 
Just bought the last one at Noahs Ark Golf Centre in Perth - cost £179 - a month till they get more in.

Went in and tried the demo clubs - stupidly easy to hit - there's still a bad shot result from a bad swing but it's nothing like as severe as an ordinary driver
 
Finally got a chance to try mine down the driving range. From a very quick hit, to me the flight and sound was a lot closer to how I hit a driver than a 3 wood. But the advantage is that I was not slicing as much as I do my driver, so it was a better choice than a driver for me.

I did a quick comparison with my old 3 wood and it looked like I was getting slightly more carry with my old 3 wood but I was getting a lot more roll with the mini driver meaning it was going further. I look forwards to trying it out on the course soon.

I bet if you went back now the rack would be full of them;)
 
Went out for a round last night and the mini is definitely much easier to control than a full size, full length driver - probably about 20 yards shorter off the tee than a well hit normal driver, but miles more consistent and straighter, in fact I'd say it's easier to hit off the tee than a three wood for me.

Hit it off the deck a couple of times, went really low when hit off a links fairway and ran forever. Out of light rough got it in the air really easily and great ball flight so I'd reckon it would be fine to use off the fairway on a parkland course.

Got a decision to make for my match tonight, do I need the three wood? - there's one hole where I'll want the extra carry that an ordinary driver will give me but other than that one I'll be hitting the mini
 
I posted on here earlier saying I was not impressed,can I be the first to say I was wrong wrong wrong!
Tried this out and my first words were oof that's long. This thing is straight and long,I had to have it,lovely ball flight and super forgiving,surprisingly easy to hit off the deck as well. Looking forward to my next knock with this now.
 
I popped into AG in Bristol today, they only had 1 of these in, a secondhand one(!), 16* reg shaft. Which is nowhere near my specs. Gave it a knock in their crappy sim anyway. Feels nice.
I think I would want a 14* with the TP x shaft. I asked when they were getting any more in and he reckoned it would be August! The ones they have on order already for customers are quoting end of July delivery!

Tony valentines has them in stock as far as I know but I doubt they'll have them for long

I'm hoping my pro has his one till I can convince the wife I need another club :lol:
