Oh, baby. Scott’s putting a show on for the viewers here today. It’s a clinic. Welcome back to SGT. We’ve got myself, Aaron, and Scott today. And today, we’re going to look at Mini Driver. Like, we’ve all struggled off the tea at some stage, and we’re all looking to try and find a little bit more accuracy. How can we make our life easy when we’re maybe not playing our best golf? Uh today we’re going to have a look at Scott in particular. Scott’s played mini driver for really quite a long time now and we’re going to see what are the benefits that he notices and could there be any benefit in changing up to a driver. Scott, why is it you play mini driver? What’s what do you see on the golf course? I don’t know if it’s I see Trackman too often and I see negative attack angle and driver doesn’t work. And when I hit driver on the golf course, when I hit it good, it’s definitely a strength. The issue is the bad one’s a lost ball. Mhm. And it’s a negative way of looking at it, I suppose. But when I use mini driver, I don’t lose golf balls. So I’m not losing golf balls in hindsight. You should be able to make a par or a bully on most holes and give yourself body opportunities. Whereas when you’re hitting balls out the park or snap picking it into the jungle, it tends to be game over. Um, and you start making doubles and triples and it’s almost a damage limitation thing. I don’t play a particularly long golf course. So, it’s not that I need it to go much longer. Even then, like I think on a good day, I maybe hit this 260 in normal conditions. So, it’s not that long par four at 420 yards or whatever the golf courses that we’re likely to play. You’re still hitting mini driver and 8 iron. It’s not like it’s long. Yeah. Um, so it’s worked quite well. I tried 3-wood before when I had a driver and 3-wood was good. It kept it in play, but I was partially topping it. So, I feel a bit safer with mini driver. Fair enough. Bit more face on the mini driver. It’s a bit more forgiving that way. Yeah, totally. So, that’s our challenge today then. That’s can we make a driver as forgiving, if not more forgiving, more consistent, and just make it worthwhile or do we stay with mini driver knowing that we’re going to hit fairways and give ourselves those birthday chances, par chances? Scott talks quite a lot about your mini driver being a bit of a Swiss Army knife. You can play it off the tea. You can draw it, fade it, hit it high, hit it low. So, it’s really it’s one of these things we really need to make sure that we can keep all the shots that you’re used to playing. And is there any benefit in you playing a driver? Yeah, I don’t like seeing it popping up in the air. I quite like something that looks flat. Again, it’s negative, but I feel like the if it’s quite flat, I feel like I’m in control of it. As soon as it’s high, I start to worry where it’s going. You can kind of give the golf course the ball that way, can’t you? Yeah. So, let’s start off, get a baseline with Scott’s mini driver, and we’ll hit a few shots. James, what is it he’s got? So, Scott’s playing a Tailorade Burner Mini. Uh, the one from 2024. Um, it’s 11 12°. He’s got it lofted all the way down. So, this is really kind of playing it about kind of 9 and 1 half degrees. Um, and he has this with a Diamana Thump 75 g stiff shaft. Pretty solid start. That’s kind of left wing. Yeah, just under 240 carry. 250 something. Yep. Spot on. That’s normal. That’s what I see in the golf course. That keeps me in play. There’s not many holes that that doesn’t play on. Yeah, it plays on plays on a lot of golf holes. pulled that one a fraction. It’s not really left going left though, is it? No, it’s more of a pull. Whereas I feel like when I hit this a similar shot with a driver, it’s more it turns more into a pull hook rather than just a pull. Yeah. It’s quite a safe thing, isn’t it? Yeah, totally. Similar numbers to the first one. A we bit shorter, maybe. Similar numbers. Yeah. And you you like to kind of visualize different golf shots on on the course as well, don’t you? I I think if there’s ball or whatever else, I think there’s a few holes at Glen course that are kind of dog legs left to right and it’s quite nice to see it starting down that left hand side and maybe peeling back a fraction like that. So again, off the bottom, but it’s the shape that I want to see. There’s a solid trust element there. Yeah. So, as I say, I’ve not hit all of them particularly great. Y but in terms of what I’ve tried to achieve with them, there’s not one of them that I’ve not got a shot to where I’m trying to play. truck grass as well. Yeah, you can play from there. Can we get another another couple? Scott, James, you’re killing me here. You can be tired later on. I look like I’m built to hit loads of drivers. That’s a wide. It’s not really though. We bit higher on the face. So, it’s down the right hand side. Need kind of two carry 240. Finish at 262. is asking for it back again. But that’s that’s a bad strike, right? Yeah. So typically high right if that’s high right with a driver I feel like that spins at 4 and a half thousand and goes everywhere. Whereas with that there for how bad that was the spins don’t really move like it’s play it’s functional. We have half a chance. It’s your get is your free card isn’t it? Yeah. That was just over correction of the previous one. Again, it’s no, you’re in the rough, but I It’s in the rough, but I’m not getting another golf ball in my bag. And that’s kind of what this does. Yeah. All right. Perfect. Right. Well, let’s see what we can do. I’ve got a head that we’re going to start on. What shall we pair it up with? Um, I think we need to go something a we bit smooth. Scott, it’s got a kind of fairly smooth delivery. Um, something like a blue board. I Let’s go. Let’s Let’s start there. Let’s keep it Diama. Yeah. So, we’ll keep it Diamanna. We’re gonna go Diamanna Blueboard. Yeah. 63 grams, which will play about 64 grams. Um, stiff. And neck. Just straight in with this one. Aaron 81. Yeah. Yeah. No messing around yet. Perfect. And visually over the top of the ball here, Scott, what does this make you think? Don’t know. This is going to sound really strange, but see with a mini driver at 11 and a half set lower, it looks like it’s got no loft. Whereas this at 90° looks like it’s got loads of loft. Yeah. Obviously hasn’t, but I don’t know if it’s just the bigger head or the lines in the face or whatever it is, but bigger face. Yeah, it’s more more to look at. Yeah, I feel like it just wants to go really high. That 11 and a half kind of squeezed down opens the face a touch as well. So, I might just Yeah. look a little bit less. And that’s the one that I hate. Feel like that’s going to spin a lot. Yeah, that’s like 3,600 all day long. Yeah. What was it? Basically the same distance as a mini driver. 39 carry 240 finish at 256. And that’s my issue with driver that it’s goes back to what I said like it’s a flight that I don’t want to see. Yep. On a number that’s not any further than So you see that on the first time you hit it. The next time you hit it, you’re trying to hit it lower. Correct. Yeah. And then the moment I try and hit it lower or I then get to the stage I’m like right spinning and then what I try and do is I then try and change attack angle to try and take spin off it and before I know I’m inside out and back to you brings you bring left and right into play. Yeah. Yeah. Too much thinking. Too much thinking. But arguably yes, too much thinking. But would you rather hit that shot or the shot I was hitting that I know where it’s going with the mini joint? You want the first one? Yeah, absolutely. The first one. Let’s see what we can do with it. There’s that kind of flatter, more squeezy type ball flight. Tend to get that off the bottom groove. There you go. Picking up a we bit of speed there as well. Yeah. So, what we noticed with the driver is potential goes up, but potential for lefts and rights going up as well. But that was that was nice. How would that feel? Yeah, that was all right. Yeah. I feel like it sits a fraction closed if anything. Maybe wrong. Maybe just it’s something I’m not used to looking at. I think when when you’re so used to seeing your own burner mini lofted down the way, it then looks a whole lot more open. So something that’s pretty square effectively looks shut. Okay. Nice head though. Why don’t we deal off a 10.5? I was just about to say that. I think that could that could be quite interesting. We turn that down to get the same sort of face angle that that Scott’s used to seeing. What if we deal off at nine? Just um humor me. Indulge you. Yeah. I’ll take this two notches down. I don’t know if subconsciously then I’m going to try and like help it in there a wee fraction. It’s always worth having a little look. I feel like when I see loft, I hit down on it more. Yeah. I wonder if I had no loft, it would maybe actually neutralize you a little bit. Impact the recut. So, just two notches lower. Yeah, that sets better. That sets and looks like I could just hit that shot that I want to hit. Yeah, that one. So I can see when we can sort of circle this back to like why do you play mini driver in in the first place. Yeah. I think shots like that kind of highlight that that yes there’s more ball speed. Yeah. But it’s also gone miles left. There was two shots ago we had one that was good and it was longer than mini drive and everything was about good and it’s like oh well there’s my progress here. But then the issue is that for as long as I then hit that shot Yeah. you have that mind and that that’s the issue that it’s the good’s okay but I can never get something and it’s obviously a swing flaw or technique issue which I’m well aware of but I never really feel like I could like hit a fairway finder with this. Do you feel drivers more all or nothing? Mhm. That was trying to just like nurse one down there. Yeah, that on a line is okay. 105 265 same kind of thing though. Yeah. You do up your mini driver doesn’t yield too much more does it? Yeah. So I don’t it’s the same with the modern day 3wood. We get asked that regularly that my 3wood goes about as far as my driver that unless you have driver technique the modern day 3wood is hot. So the guy that hits down on it and isn’t even able to differentiate. I almost feel that that is why 3wood goes so far. Yeah. They’ve got so fast that you need to be able to do something different with a driver. I’ve got a rogue idea. I’m going to have one of an orange tea and just hit like one high. I know it gets the bit, but a rogue idea. Like to test these theories, oh yes, really going to force the issue of attack angle here. Oh, so flighting things is much better. There’s still a lost ball. So just direction. Yeah. Yeah. So in terms of distance, it’ll be a long way from me. 282. Yeah. So like is it further? Yes. Mhm. But I’ve not had a fairway driver yet. Is the juice worth the squeeze? No. Is the juice worth the squeeze out? Like that one. There we go. Let’s see that. Let’s see this. Oh, we’re making a we guy. So, basically what I’m doing here, I’m going to take our demo 10.5. I’m going to use Scott’s shaft 75 thump, his setting at lower. So this is a 10.5 lofted down to 8.5. Almost playing the same as his mini driver, just bigger head. See if we can squeeze a little bit out that way. Yeah. So we play play the the same length as mini driver. Just try and build that consistency and try and build the comfort that we’ve got in mini driver into driver and see if it’s beneficial. Perfect. We might need to add a little bit of weight because this will feel a little bit lighter. But Thrive is basically driver with a three-wood shaft. Something something that Ping have done really quite a lot, isn’t it? So instead of having like a mini driver head, they’ll use a higher lofted head with a much much shorter shaft. Y and it’s called Thrive. Yeah. Let’s have a go. Will we be Thriving? There’s only one way to find out. Looks like they’ve got the US kids bag next to us. Ping Moxy Prodigy. Feels comfy actually. Good. Other than ball flight, it definitely feels comfier. Yeah. Yeah. 240 258 3500. Yeah. Mhm. Tell you what, you’re almost catching up with mini driver, guys. I think there’s something in the length. Most professionals will be playing a driver shorter than what you’ll pick up off the shelf, won’t they, James? Definitely. Yeah. I think like driver lengths are like the wild west. Yeah. Yeah, there’s some manufacturers that their stock length is 46 in, which is as which is really as long as you can go these days. It’s borderline illegal on a PGA Tour. Yeah, this is it. But then other other golfers will then play things at maybe like 44 in 44 and 1/2 in. Sometimes it’s kind of cited for a bit more control, but it’s it’s definitely a kind of feel thing, especially when you’ve got speed to burn. Oh yeah, definitely. Like myself. Yeah. Let’s find fairways first, then we’ll figure out how far it’s going to go. That was good. That last one, was it not? Yep. Yep. Definitely fairies more now. 3,300. And I’ve not flipped the weights here yet either. I haven’t tried to flip the weights. I’m not even sure if we need to flip the weights. I think we need just put another heavy one in the front to balance it back. I’ve got a we five gram out here. It feels good actually. It looks good. Look at that. You could talk to that by the way. Look at that. Right. There’s something in that. Maybe I’ll be young. Let’s have a we look. Lovely flight’s nice. Definitely higher than your mini driver. So you see the issue with that one and this is always the case that see when I hit a drive that looks good knowing you play golf and your playing partner says good drive. Nine times out of 10 it isn’t. Secretly you hate it. It’s high it’s spinning and it’s actually not going anywhere at all. Yeah. That was like mini driver numbers that one wasn’t it? That would kind of been longer. Yeah. Mini driver spin went up. Yeah. I think the flight the flight was really nice. It definitely launches higher. Yeah. But if it’s not quite doing it, I’m not bothered about how high adequate apple on the ground as long as it goes straight. I’m taking a three g weight out of the front. Okay. And I’m putting a five I’m putting an eight g weight in. So we’re adding adding five grams of mass all into the all into the front. To the forward. Yeah. So we’re looking at like an optimum number. Is it launching high? No, not particularly. It’s just spinning a little bit. Yeah. So launch angle and peak height are actually okay. Spin loft is a fraction high. Spin rate’s too high. I think because I always spin it too high. I think that’s why I always like seeing it launch low and I almost try and counteract one bad. But I try and fix a bad with another bad. But at least I know what I’m getting. Sometimes two wrongs can make a right. You’re right there. Or an okay. Or okay. How did that feel? Better flight the neck. Going forward, it actually feels more appealing to look down on than the mini driver. More appealing. Oh, good. I actually quite like the look of it. So, do you like for you part of the reason that you like mini drivers because that shorter shaft you maybe feel like you’re a bit more in control? Yeah, probably. Fits in the car boot a bit easier as well. Off the toe, but it’s in play. So, certainly it’s certainly more in play than what the longer shaft would do on a bad one. Yeah, we’ve calmed down with the losing golf balls bit. Uh, definitely playing out rough the rough there, but you’ve found your ball. All right, totally. At no point am I walk I’m happy to walk off the tea after that. I’m not I don’t count fairies. I count retrievables. So, is that one that goes a bit higher? Looks a bit spinnier. And that’s be interesting to see what that does. See, when I hit the fade with a mini driver, it still spins at 3 and a half thousand. That looks higher. 42. Yeah. Let’s see that, Scott. Hey, B. So, we’re going to take that to pieces. We’re going to put your shaft back in your head because we still seen the spinny one. So, we’re going to go We’re going to flip it. Flip it on its head. I’m going to give you a low spin. Can we have the low spin head with my shaft still? Can we try that? I can. I’ll keep your shaft out. Let’s just do one variable at a time. That work? Yep. Let’s do that. Let’s go the opposite. Let’s try and kill spin with a head to begin with and see what happens. For whatever reason, that shaft feels smooth and feels good. Nine. Do you want a lock down? Ah, let’s do that, James. Let’s go to town. There we go. So, what have we got here, Aaron? This is 9° Qi35 LS. Mhm. It’s on the lower setting. So, exactly the same setting we just hit. It’s just a change of head. Still in Scot shaft. Still in Scotch shaft. Yeah. It sets amazing. Like I feel like I can leather this all day long. Oh, give me a bit of that. Ball speed spiked up a wee bit. Mhm. It looks amazing. Spin 3,400. Right in the middle of where you need it for that attack angle. What is the attack angle? Sorry. Uh minus five. So I think that is relative. And I think that’s one thing that people even from a fatting standpoint, everybody wants to spin it low, but you can you can only spin it low relative to your attack angle. Yeah. Yeah. So 3400 if you hit 5° up and it’s a disaster. 3,400 at 5° down and it’s actually quite a good number cuz your peak out there is still 70 ft. Yeah. That’s flat. That’s a flight I want to see. You need some spin because you’re not using launch. Correct. You need to keep it in the air. Yeah. Yeah. That I like that. It’s good. Bad one. Yeah. So the shorter shaft definitely feels like the bad ones better. No different to a skinny mini driver there. Totally. And that is and that’s that’s where I want to get to. If that’s bad, we smile, we nod, we pick back up and walk after. Put your head cover back on, walk down the fairway. Nothing’s gone wrong. Yeah. Can we go into the bigger head with the 90° and can we get swing weight up, please? It feels light. I like the concept though. It feels good from a length standpoint. Like I feel like I can actually do what I need to do with it. Yeah. It just there can’t feel where the head is. So, I’m going to give you It almost needs like two 13s in it. It needs to be Yeah. at this length to get somewhere in that kind of swing weight number. 9° lower as well. Yeah. Cuz we only hit the 10 and a half lower in your shaft. Yeah. So, I’m going to check the swing weight of this now. Now, you’d never put this kind of head weight into a 45 in shaft cuz No, it’s going to feel way too heavy. And it’s not just as simple as let’s just take your driver and cut it down. You need to adjust the head weight. So that gets us to D3.6. Pretty much what you asked for. That can play. Now we have a chance. There we are. Let’s see what this bad boy does. It’s amazing how I don’t know if it’s because it’s the head’s so big. So mini driver at exactly the same swing weight doesn’t feel as heavy. I know it sounds really strange, but you look at a bit more subconsciously it feels a bit more. Yeah. Maybe just the last dozen shots of it have been really light. So I wait. That’s amazing. No. Hello. Now you can top to that. That spins at 32 tops. 27. Yeah. If I could hit it like that, then I would have a driver. When was the last time you got 30 yards a roll on someone? Top one earlier than not. If we if we sort of circle back around on swing weight, I had a a customer um a few weeks ago and he had made his driver shorter, but he’d also put like a he’d also kind of put a jumbo size grip on on his driver. So, at the beginning of every session, like we weigh and measure everything, and his swing weight was utterly non-existent. It was like C C1. Yeah. Um and he wondered why it wasn’t going anywhere. he really preferred the feel of of the shorter driver, but because the swing weight was so light, he couldn’t then feel it at the top of the swing. So, when he’s initiating down swing, he doesn’t have anything to pull on from the top. So, the really easy fix with that was for us because we build golf clubs, we can add hot melt to the head. Yeah. As soon as we then added that weight back in again, all of a sudden had awareness of where the head was and it got a lot better really quickly. So, it’s definitely not just a case for people watching this video to Scott lop a wee bit off the end of the driver. It needs to be built the correct way, doesn’t it? That was better than the first one, by the way. That was really good. 270. Well, the the trajectory is still there as well, though, isn’t it? Like the flying straight. We’ve managed to kill a little bit of the spin as well. Yeah, the right trigger, James. I told you this. It’s all about trage. So for a typical Scottish condition, your spin being at the lower end of your optimal and your ball speed being at the higher end is a very good recipe for I am fine with that. Yeah. And by the way to anybody else 63 fp like what the hell is that? Like to me that just moves forward like that’s not getting any bother. So it’s like this was amazing before but it shows you can have the right shaft, the right head, the right grip. Everything the wrong swing weight is a waste of time. Yeah. So the whole thing has to be a package. Like this has went from being okay maybe arguably competing with the mini driver to like those two are enough for me to say everything has to complement each other straight in my basket. Yes. I feel like with it being slightly heavier I’m less likely to fling it over the top as well. I can feel where the head is. Oh Scott, here we go. Would you say that previously spun at 44 when we tried this? That’s got to be in the threes. It has to be 37. Yeah, that’s the spinny one now. That’s mini driver good numbers. Yeah. Yeah, that’s the spinny one now. So, we can live with that. So, that’s what I get to. If I’m going to have a bad drive with this, does it do what the mini driver does in a good one? And the answer to that is yes. Whereas previously, the bad drive with this was worse than a bad drive with a mini driver. Oh, baby. Scott’s putting a show on for the viewers here today. It’s a clinic. I was actually balanced and everything. It never fell over. I thought you were, James. You’re not going to buy that. 277. Are you what? 278. That’s the thing of beauty. Like, you don’t have that with Mini Driver. All right. It’s true though. He’s not being harsh. Yeah. You don’t have that with Mini Driver. If you’ve like And that goes dead straight as well. And it’s the flight you like. Tell you what, I can even see a smile for the cameraman there, lads. If we peg it back like what what are we trying to do? We want to give you a driving product that you can find fairways, you can do all the things that you like to do. Yeah. But can we squeeze a little bit more out of it, but give you the consistency that you’ve had with a Mini and we’re very much on the on this right track. Is it worth playing over this is the big thing. So far, I’d say 100% it is on on demand. Just half a dozen drivers and smiled for the first time in history. Should we ask Should we ask for the hydro yet? Go for it. Let’s see. Is it in the tank? Ah, it didn’t come back. Oh, I feel like it’s trying. Give me one more. It tried. All right. So, even if you do that on the golf course, that’s fine. It’s absolutely fine. What does it spin at? 36. 3522. Yeah. Spot on. Carry 245. 241. 241. Finish at 262. It’s all right. Right hand side of the fairy. Aok. Okay. And then if we circle back to the start of this video, what were we trying to achieve? That is what mini driver does. All right. All right. All right. There she is. There we go. And if we got a bit excited downhill, downwind, you got your lucky pants on. Can we hit it a little bit further? Only if you look the defiill out. How do you know what pants he’s got on? Well, right. Bombs away. High at the face. Bombs away. Tell you what, whack in the stance of be here just for that height of the face. Oh, that should have been a snap hook every day of the week. That had no right to go there. So that with a 45 in shaft goes left, left. Ah. Yeah. Whereas that now you’re smiling. Way you go. Right guys, the big question. Could you beat the mini? Is it worth me investing? What does it look like? Yes is the answer. Yes is the absolute answer. So your own mini um average carry 228 yards finishing at 255. Yeah. You’ve got your peak height that you like to look at. So averaging 64 feet and bar a couple that are just off the fairway we bit to the left hand side. They’re finding fairways and they’re forward. Yeah. So objective of this is can we give you a driver that’s really really forgiving that gives you the same playability as your mini and the answer is yes. And what have we done? We go into all we’re doing here is changing the heads. We’ve kept your shaft so it plays shorter, plays comfortable. We’ve added a little bit of weight to the head. So there’s an extra think there’s an extra 13 g in this. It’s 20 It’ll be 207 gram without an adapter on it which is really heavy, but that’s just because of the length of the shaft. The swing weight then So it’s only heavy relative to a standard length. Exactly. Um it’s still the swing weight is D3.6, six, but you get an extra 10 yards out of it in terms of total distance. Your carry goes up 11 yards, and we’ve kept that same peak height. You like your standard deviation between your kind of highest and lowest is actually a fraction tighter as well. So, your highs aren’t as high, your lows aren’t as low. It’s more efficient. Everything just ticks the boxes of this should go in the bag. How about dispersion? Is there much in it? It’s the same. It’s the same. Can we change screen? Same. It’s just further up. It’s actually a little bit better. Good. Um I was being modest, but it’s a win. It’s a win. Let’s get that head changed. Thanks for your effort, guys. Thank you very much. So, is driver versus mini driver? Which is the which is the best one for you? In this case, Scott, we’ve managed to beat it with a driver and we’ve given you an alternative off the tea. H that’s given you the same sort of cons same that’s given you the same sort of consistency as your money. I would say my big take from it is it’s not for me Trackman’s great, but the orange box isn’t relative on the golf course. It’s more I actually feel confident with it. Like if you’d given me a driver that went 20 yards further, but I still didn’t fancy it. I’m not really bothered what Trackman says. Yeah. Like Trackman’s great to back up what you guys have said there, but the proof’s in the pudding. stand in the driving range hitting golf balls here. I can see where the ball was going and every time I hit one, it goes a we bit left, a we bit right, and it stays there. You can tell how stable the head is and how much more I get out of it. And and as I said, it’s not necessarily about it’s not a distance game. It is, but the little bit extra gain’s good, but standing on that tea under the gun a we bit pressure or if it’s into the wind, I think that’s where I maybe struggle with the mini driver. Strong wind into your face, I feel like I want to squeeze it. Whereas with this, it looks user friendly that even on the days that you’re not swinging it great, I still feel like I have a chance. Yeah. And it’s it’s an unusual way of getting there. We’ve kept your shaft. And it’s it’s less about the fact that this goes 265 instead of 255. It’s more about the fact you’ve got an eight iron instead of a six or a seven iron. That makes the game a lot easier in different parts of the game. Um, that bit is, as I say, that bit’s great, but for me, it’s that I can stand on that hole and stand and hit this without that fear. Yeah. of where it’s going to go. And then when I start steering drive around, I’d be as well having the mini driver. That’s it. So for for people watching, it might not be this length of shaft. We could maybe achieve that kind of distance even with yourself, Scott, with a 45 in lower spinning shaft, but it just wasn’t comfortable for you, was it? Yeah. There’s so many different right ways of doing it, isn’t there? Yeah. Thank you very much, guys. No, we’ve really enjoyed doing this video today. It would be absolutely fantastic to have you over to a studio and just test these things. Does a shorter driver work? Do we need to chop and change things? How can we make life easy for you?
