Everything You Need to Know on The NEW TaylorMade Burner Mini Driver | TrottieGolf 

Taylormade should make a full sized driver version of the BRNR mini. There are players out there who just don't like the carbon face on the Stealth's. Plus, the styling and colors on the BRNR mini looks soooo much better than the Stealth 2. Even the headcover looks amazing.

I picked up a 300 mini a few weeks ago. Being a longer hitter, I don't carry a 3 wood because I'm never am in a situation where I use it. This has been a perfect 2nd option off the tee on holes with a lot of trouble, where I'm at risk of hitting my driver too far through the fairway, and anywhere I need to hit a draw since the extra loft helps me do that.

Used mine for the first time ever yesterday and blown away by the performance Complete game changer for me and my golf. Driver distance with laser accuracy, absolutely outstanding

I love mine. I hit it plenty long, I cant stand the large face of new drivers....This is so perfect. I hit it lower, bit more spin, and I can play it off the deck. I got this, a 4 wood and 3 iron. perfect setup imo

This is most definitely the club for me! I hate hitting driver because it’s so inconsistent, I always revert to hitting three wood off the tee box just for the fact I’m more consistent with it, I just hate that it doesn’t go as far as driver, I think I’ve found the perfect club for me!!!

Just got this in 13.5 a few days ago and delofted to 12 degrees and 14g up front. Completely awesome into the wind off the tee or off the ground. Am getting equivalent driver distances easy.

Finally! Waited for Trottie’s review but then I knew this mini driver’s for me so I got fitted last week and got it. I love hitting my Stealth 2 but the BRNR is an extra confidence and consistency booster on straight off the deck. It’s my par 5 anti-double bogey weapon now 😂 Yet another great review. Thanks Trottie for helping me justify my purchase. 🙏

Looks a great club Chris. I’ve just had the best fitting ever here in the UK and now have a bag of Stealth 2 and on my second round shot an 86 nett 68 my best ever so at the age of 73 and handicap down from 22 to 15 in four months very happy to join Team Taylormade! I have a gap between my 3 wood(16) and 5 iron (21) so was advised to wait and try a hybrid or 7 wood , I do have my old 22 no4 hybrid so just experimenting. Love the videos and tips thank you so much. Oh yes and the ball recommendation at my fitting Tour response!.

im a 22 handy capper, bought this club to do what you said, play it in behind a driver and use it sometimes off the deck as a 3 wood. i bought the 13.5 degree and flipped the sleeve around to make it closer to 15 degree. it is a phenomenal club, some days when im not hitting the driver well, i will hit this off the tee instead and it preforms really well, albeit with that loft hitting it quite high. I haven't played around with weighting yet, but my next task is to see how I can dial that in to complement the set up. Would recommend.

Trackman is nice, but after working in a sim business for some time... I really don't appreciate Trackman at all. Glad to see you trying out a GC Quad. As mentioned before, I'm building a sim and looking at a GC3 for that. Super cool! Also, played the Hell's hole at Crail last week and really enjoyed Balcomie. Maybe liked Craighead more but they were both incredible. Cruden Bay was incredible though.OK, all over the place with this post but it's not like we message. LOL.

I bought one in 11.5 as soon as it came out in the stiff very my driver goes 245-265 and I’m so glad i did great vid really good about of knowledge and game specs on clubs. So helpful and knowledgeable 😅🎉. If interested my handicap is 14 woods are stealth 2. 3 wood p790 2 iron and titleist tsr2 driver 10.25

Trottie my friend, you ALWAYS have the best toys! Drivers, irons, GC-Quad...

This video is great. Especially if you know. I have one. Age 53 +5. I've played Tony Peña, persimmon Woods for the first 15 years in the 80's, still play my Hogan Apex forged blades from the og press 73-78 and this thing is magnificent.

My driver and 3 wood are both over 15 years old. Im buying both lofts in stiff, lofting the 11.5 down to 9.5 and the 13.5 up to 14.5 or 15.5. gonna have fun collecting my data at every loft and weight combination using my SC4 launch monitor. Been waiting for something to come out that got me excited, this was it for me.

If you're not good with driver, get better. Get this mini driver just because it looks like a ton of fun! Informative review man; TY!

I watched this video and bought this mini briver yesterday. Today I played very stable, no OB, no off the fairway.

I play 3 wood constantly as a longer player. I have never trusted my driver, but I trust a FW wood. I tried one of these and I loved it. Will buy eventually.

I wish they would call it a 2 wood instead of a mini driver. In my opinion this club would be best for those that play links golf or in windy conditions a lot. Hitting that low bullet tracer that will stay under the wind and trundle onto the green on a par 5. But then again a stealth plus 3 wood adjusted correctly could do the same thing.

Great club for a short set. Love my 300 Mini.

It looks so clean

I secured an 11.5 deg variant and it is an absolute fairway finder. It is the correct length for a driver and is very forgiving. Knocked out the Cobra LTDx driver.

Great club , I game the tm black out mini and use it lofted up play it as a 3 wood.

I am still a beginner. Got a lesson that really helped with my irons. Had not the chance to touch the driver in that hour. I struggle with the driver, but I use my 3 wood instead and place it in the fairway at around 230 yards. I might be the client they are aiming for just for everyone saying it's useless. Until I get another lesson for driver.

Hi mate! I think this club is literally built for me lol! I don't have a driver, I only hit my 3 wood off a low tee as I cream them consistently. Only issue is all the retailers round here are refusing to do a custom shaft and saying its only the stock regular and stiff available as the club isn't built for any other shaft 😂

Orlimar Tri Metal usser: I've been using the larger 400+ drivers for many years and recently went back to the smaller 300+ Orlimar. I have found it to be just as satisfiying . I will be looking to see hour a fitting with the Mini will turn out.

When you consider the club is aimed at a better player looking for accuracy, no x flex option is bizarre.

Great video Chris looks a great club.

Great overview of the club Trottie! Out of curiosity, was a 60x carbon face prototyped for this, but ultimately the titanium face was deemed better?

I love mine, now i just want a matching 22° 7 wood same color scheme as the brnr.

Great meeting you at TM last week, Chris! my mini BRNR arrived today and i'm stoked! If I'm using this off the tee, how high should it be tee'd up and do I hit up like a driver, or swing more like a 3 wood? Thanks for your input!

I love my Sim 2 Titanium 13.5 Rocket 🚀. What’s the difference between the two? Size? Fargivness?

Hey Trottie quick question - if you wanted to throw an aftermarket shaft in there would you typically go for a driver shaft cut down or a fairway wood shaft?

What about ball position and tee height trottie!?

Hi , will you be reviewing the 2024 copper mini driver.

Just pre ordered one today/ 11.5 stiff

Hi Trottie, love the video. I'm an 11 handicapper who's never been comfortable with driver, I hit my 3 wood with about 105mph club head speed so it goes a fair way but I'm wondering if this would give me a bit extra? Out of interest do you swing it like a driver or more like a 3 wood? Cheers

Put it in the bag soon after came out and it is an absolute rocket fairway finder.

Are you using the shorter shaft that the club comes with as you test this out, or are you using a standard driver length shaft? I'm just wondering if the shorter stiff flex shaft plays more like an X-stiff than the longer driver shaft? I have the 11.5 degree with the s-flex shaft but it feels more rigid than my other driver's s-flex shaft.

Just bought mine online. Can't wait for it to get here and hit the range and sim.

for me it's the 13.5 head at 12.75 with equal weights, need that open face but the stock weights are too extreme

I got mine too use as a 2 wood. I can bomb my driver, I'm more working on my iron game. This past Saturday I was driving the ball around 340 carry, up to 380 total with my driver (in Utah at elevation), & I have a tough time slowing my swing, so this is the perfect club for me for that 315 yard carry on those 330-340 yard tight par 4s. My 3 wood is cranked up to 16.5° & goes around the same distance, so the Mini Driver is going to be my 3 wood replacement on windy days. I promise I'm not trying to talk up my driving distance here, as I'm still playing off of around 14 or 15 & need to spend a LOT more time on irons, just pointing out what I'm using my Mini Driver for. My low end gapping now goes 9° driver, 12.5° 2 wood (Mini Driver), 16.5° 3-4 wood, & 19.5° 3 hybrid, right into my 5 iron. A long driving distance can be fun, but it also makes for some random 2nd shot distances on par 5s that give me trouble with my irons lately.

I got the 11.5 and love it just wondering what weights can I use if I wanted a little heavier than the 13gram? Great review thanks

Do you have a video of the mini 300?

Still rocking my original one.

Interested… where can a lefty get fit in Jacksonville Florida?

Biggest challenge Trottie is inventory. Supposedly, you guys are out of stock as are most retailers, and I got a message from your support team that they will not be any more being built. That sounds crazy to me with the demand. Is that possible? Can you double check to see if more inventory is to come or that's it?

Reminds me of the guy at our local Sunday market trying to sell one of those cheap tea sets 😂

Fitting is so crucial with this head,,, what model golf shoes are they 💯✌️

What is ideal shaft length if you want it as a backup to driver as you struggle with driver Also would you recommend the exact same shaft spec as your driver but shorter if you want it to be used off the tee mostly ?

Just purchased the 11.5 to replace my driver I may hit well 1 out of 8 times , I have a tsr2 4 wood (sorry) that I hit really well with the tensei av link blue , the mini shaft feels so strange thinking of swapping it out to the tensei do you think they could be a good match or should I learn the feel of the original

the adjustable weight screws are same as Stealth Driver side adjustment weight?

great review ....i am wanting one of these but am having a hard time deciding which one...13.5 or the 11.5 degree....wanna be able to hit off of fairway and use as a driver also from time to time....am 58 and swing the driver 90-95 mph..... which degrees would you think would most suit me for my needs ?.....thx....cheers from Vulcan Canada

Hi Trottie, is the camber of the sole of the burner the same as the the original one or 300? Can we get different weights if we play a shorter shaft?

Will there be options to change the shaft with this when ordering?

Just got one, put an Ad shaft in, its 10 yards longer than my driver, its not a better players club lol..if you cant hit 305 cc how do you hit tiny 56cc irons

Got got a Mini 300 about 3 months ago 😢😢. My first Metal driver was the Bubble Burner in 1997 prior to that I was playing the Ping Zing woods with steel shafts 😂😂

I’ve recently purchased the new diver this week played yesterday a few were going to the right , after watching the video is it best to put the 13 weight into the front and leave shaft on standard loft ? Thank you

I bought the mini driver 300 (the version before this)...there is enormous hype around this Burner version...but how much better can it be than the mini Driver 300?

What’s the difference between this and a 3 wood as far as carry distance?

Surely Micah puts this little weapon in his bag!

weird that he's showing one at 13.5 and claiming it can be dialed down to 9.5. I know he's talking about the 11.5 model, but it's a weird visual.

GCQuad > TM4

can it use the same shaft of stealth2 driver shaft?

if it is 13.5 and you turn it down 2, how do you get 9.5. didn't I see 13.5 on the bottom

Do you hit this like a 3 wood or like a driver?

Whats the best colour castle tee for this?

Just ordered one! How high are you pegging that up?

I’ve come to the conclusion I hate big headed drivers. I’ve always played the smaller old school drivers better. I can sacrifice a little distance for something I’m comfortable with. Definitely going to put one of these in the bag after hitting it.

Why not 375 cc? Just a little bigger and maybe 44 inches long.

Chris. Respect and appreciate the content and channel. My case, I generate between 126-130mph CHS and 186-low 190’s ball speed (Trackman data) with my TSR3 8 degree… I am debating swapping out my TSR 13.5 3w for the TM mini… I hit my 3w over 3 bills but not a fairway finder… good choice switch? Thoughts? cheers 🙌🙌

par 5, 275 to the pin.. just pullout the burner

Nice J6's.

Sadly apparently this was a limited offering and taylormade is already no longer selling it. and no word on if theyll get anymore inventory. They missed the mark.

What is the head weight of the brnr

Martin Michael Allen Brian Taylor Dorothy

Sooo 13.5 or 11.5?

Amazing flexibility depending on the type of course you are playing too.

Jackson Sharon Anderson Karen Brown Dorothy

Not sure...if you can't hit a Driver properly, chance is you can't hit a mini Driver from the Deck either. Maybe you are better off then with a 43” shaft in a real driver and 2 hours with your pro

Doesn't seem to be garnering much interest from RU-vidrs? I'm keen to see reviews but there are bugger all. Your review is ok but you're hardly impartial 😳🤔. Also, 254 carry into a breeze, mmm hmm. Based on the numbers out might think it'll go that far but it has no way of knowing how the wind will affect the ball.

Mini Drivers are pretty irrelevant these days since 3 woods produce near driver numbers and are better off the turf. I just don't see a place in my bag for one, I'm a 2 iron or 5 wood guy depending on the course and think that if you cannot hit a big headed driver then a smaller mini driver is not going to be any better, especially off the deck. Niche product.

Whats the purpose? I have a 2 iron that I hit 245yds high or low, plus a 3 wood and 5 wood. NO chance this is going in my bag.

Jones Frank Moore Donna White Karen

Give me a lefty Burner and I’ll have 10 other people buy one.

I feel like this is more of a perception placebo

Mini driver.....MAXI price. No thanks

Nobody in their right mind is replacing their 3 wood with this.

To much waffling ..

It's just a 2 wood & nothing special. In my competitve junior golf days in the 60's I dropped out my 3 & played driver, 2 wood & then 4 wood dropping my 3 iron. No one else had this arrangement & it wasn't considered "manly" but I had a crap load of trophies to prove who cares.

Talk too much.. loose substance

Way too spinny

Why does this seem like a sales pitch? Let me guess, you got a free club for a scripted review.

Those colors are horrendous

Mini driver is dead, wtf is going on in this world,,

Nope no like at all.

Love the Taylormade mini driver's! I'm currently using the 300 series mini! 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇸⛳️
