- Team TaylorMade's Rory McIlroy was up at The Kingdom in Carlsbad earlier this year where he came to test some new clubs for this year. During that testing session, he saw and hit the BRNR Mini Driver Copper for the first time and gave his honest thoughts and feedback. He even shouted out that he might put it in play at Harbour Town, which is exactly what he did this week.

He seems pretty consistent. This dude could play professionally.
😂
How original 🙄
...World class trajectory.... I can't believe those tracers.... that was goddamned beautiful.
pretty standard
This man would pure it with a shovel
“It’s nice” as he pumps EVERY single drive straight down the middle 300 yards! 😝
but he wont put it in his bag.....
@@cchsiao817 just doesn't fill a role he needs. Sometimes these guys want a spinny 3w that they can hit into greens. Scheffler specifically has a spinny setup with his because he plays a 3i instead of a 5w. Drivers you want to go as far as you can get them (accurately), pretty much every club is filling a role other than that. The mini driver doesn't do what these guys are looking for often, that's why you see few of them on tour.
I'm sure there are specific players and courses where they're useful, but it isn't common.
He’s the best driver of a golf ball I’ve ever laid eyes on. It’s absolutely breathtaking how well he stripes his driver.
These guys must have seen Rory hit a lot of balls, but the expressions on their faces after each shot suggests he still amazes them with every shot. That was a ball-striking master class.
Screw the ball rollback. Mini driver size should be the standard for the driver
Dude, i was literally just thinking the same thing….why mess with the ball when you have tech now to solve it. A lot of pros complain about how forgiving drivers are these days..this would solve it all
That is a brilliant idea!
I've got no problems with that. Im playing an old TaylorMade 320 driver anyway.
naw.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Seems to be a lot easier fix.
His driver swing is a thing of beauty!
Hope you made this one to last longer than 4 years! Sim was garbage cracking after 4 years. Hello Ping!
Older golfer here who never became completely comfortable with today’s larger 460cc head shoebox size drivers. So I went to the 11.5 degree TM BRNR Mini Driver and it’s smaller 304cc head this year. I am hitting the ball as far but with much more confidence in accuracy. It is now fas a permanent place in my bag, replacing my former TM Stealth2 Driver. And it looks awesome as well. Luv it!!!
I'm a fellow older golfer Barry and, like you, struggled for a long time to wield one of the modern driver heads. Even though they were lighter than our old 1-woods, they look like they are hard to swing. I remember thinking, the first time I tried, that it looked like I was about to swing a VW Beetle over my head. I've eventually gotten used to my current driver but still prefer the slightly smaller 430cc heads that some brands offer. I'm very keen to give the min driver a go, if only they were more available.
@@rufussthoo4083 Even the 430cc driver was too much. I was hitting the Stealth2 Max okay, but inconsistent to the point I’d hit my 3 wood more often on some of the tighter courses. I got lucky early in the season the local golf warehouse store had one remaining BRNR Mini Driver with stiff shaft. I hit a small bucket and knew this was the driver for me. My driver accuracy has significantly improved and with no loss in yardage.
I still have my old Power Built Citation persimmon 1 wood. It used to be my favorite club. I’d hit it off the tee and deck. I played that for many years even when everyone was moving to the titanium’s like the Ti Bubble, and winning some local long drive contests. Now I take it to the range once in a while and I can’t hit the darn thing😂
I can't hit a driver. I've tried everything except hippnosis.
Hit my Ping 3 wood 240/250ish.
The mini should give me a few extra yards without losing confidence.
I like my 905r for that reason
Do you have the heavier weight in front or back? I just ordered an 11.5.
Rory driving a golf ball is just ridiculous! What a talent ………..
Just got home from the range with my burner mini. Absolutely love this club. Picked it up the day they dropped, since I had been looking for last years model used. I was so excited when the notification came through about the release, that I left work and got one immediately. Set mine down to 12.5. Such and awesome club, now if only I could hit it as far as Rory😂
The ball flight on these shots is incredible. So neutral
Unbelievable ball flights. So consistent.
Got the first rerelease of the BRNR. It’s my driver and I love it. Please keep making them for years to come.
honestly sounds amazing
I feel like this would be perfect on links course for British open when it’s windy.
You could give Rory a Dunlop Loco and Rory would crush it. Comment section "i gotta get me one!" 😂😂
That noise, sounds awesome. Mine arrived this week.
Good Luck, bud. Rack it and Smack it!!!
I love my mini burner from last year!
This id my favorite video you guys have ever posted
i ended up getting the new 2024 copper version and i LOVE it went with the 13.5 degree and the MCC +4 midsize grip I am 59 years old and a 8 handicap off the fairway is awesome and off the tee glad i went with it to go inbetween my 9 degree driver and my 17 degree Hywood then my Qi10 Max 7 wood 22 degrees Knock on wood off the deck i have been blasting it it works great for me cheers from Canada
So its back to the titamium head afterall 😊 sounds way better than carbon head
I believe the crown is Carbon and face is titanium
It's the carbon twist face, not titanium.
The swing looks incredible here
Genius to have Rory in such casual clothing for this video.
? Genius
More of these, I still go back and watch the Sim range session LOL
Recently played my first round with it Wow it’s phenomenal, it feels and looks incredible, beats my normal driver hands down
He is playing a different game than me. It's awesome to watch.
You can see him drop his arms and how that keeps him swinging inside!! Awesome
Man alive how straight was them shots . Just wow 😮
What I would give to just have that swing for a day, pure joy to watch
I feel like if you put any club in Rory's hands, he'll hit it real nice.
Please provide the spec, curious of shaft length.
Wow, he murders this thing. Definitely a weapon to consider
I bought mini not even a year ago, cracked the face on it a month ago, got the replacement and within two weeks the face cracked again. I'm currently wait for the second replacement within a month. Not sure what issue is but it does not seem well constructed, especially when my clubhead speed on average is 96-98 mph.
Played my first round today with the mini driver (stiff-stock shaft 11.5 degree with the heavier weight in front) and wow, didn't miss a single fairway. Very easy to hit and made me feel super confident off the tee. Lost around 8 yards compared to driver but didn't missed any fairways 😂. Very impressed overall. I would definitely recommend this club if you want a fairway finder that gives you pretty much the same distance as driver. 10/10
Nice try taylormade
What is your swing speed? Wish they had an x stoff
Man I need one 😂
that sound... woahhh
Rory's hot take: Nice. 10-15 more than 3-wood. Bish bash bosh! Refreshingly simple golf advertising 👍
If you want to know what poetry looks like... this. This is what it looks like! 🤯
Mine gets here tomorrow 😂 I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve or something
I got mine last week, played with it 3 times since; you’re gonna love it!
You’ll still shoot 100 with it pally
@@heatgrimm8664 I’m not some hack. First two rounds 74/76 from 7300 yards and the 76 was basically a greens keeper revenge round with all the pins 3 yards off the green. I get most people on the internet probably suck but not everyone
Sooo pure
Love my BRNR. Fairway finder on steroids. Not much of a distance loss vs. the big stick. Now Titleist is in the mini game and Callaway was showing off its new AI Smoke mini at The Masters.
Sounds a 12/10 absolutely amazing. I'm considering switching for the sound and look alone. Not to mention it preformed so good.
Performed good for a player who is probably the best driver of all time with the most natural swing of all time.
Rory's very first swing is exactly why driver head size should have been capped at 400cc. The ball, iron grooves, etc aren't the "problem", the large face size of drivers to flex and generate speed is the issue. USGA should be watching this video.
The number 2 player in the world not having tees, so relatable
I removed my 3w for the miniD 2 years ago and no regrets. Can hit the mD off the deck no issue
That's my divet pattern from a driver fitting
He is roasting those golf balls
Just absolutely destroyed that patch of grass LOL
That is a beautiful driver!!!! Love to own one
Good work - nailed it off the deck...Phenomenon. needs to practice the shorter clubs the woods have never been an issue
smooth
How good is that 👏
fucking sick! I bought one of these because they had just come off of demo last year the first model and I was shocked. it is incredible.
I have so much more confidence hitting a more minor driver's head. As weird as this may sound, I get tentative with the 460cc drivers, but with this mini-driver, I can actually step on it. So the mini driver goes farther, and I never had 3 wood, just 17 degrees 4 wood, so this is great to fill that gap of trying to reach 260 yards 2nd shot into par 5. But before completely committing to it, I am waiting for the Callaway version, as I know they are about to launch one, too.
best swing in golf
That swing is perfect.
I absolutely love the TM acoustic (maybe more than my backup TSR3 woods). I swear TM's carbon crown coupled with that ZA Ti face has such a nice muted pop to it and the ball speed and trajectory can't be compared. Debating these days if the 2W category is going to expand into the market by other OEMs or if TM will be the main one.
If there's money to be made they'll all be at it soon
Hit mine 260 Straight out of the rough today !!
Must be nice to show up to The Kingdom and just get anything you want. 🤣
That's pretty impressive.
Now I want to see that new 4 iron "proto" being tested by Rory!
He just makes it look soooo easy😮
With Ernie Els, Rory has some of the golf swing I like the most. Crazy stability and easiness.
I’ve had an aero burner mini driver when everyone was wondering why the club exists… now everyone wants to try a mini driver 😂
Keep grinding kid you might be pretty solid someday 🤣!
"It's a 2 wood" is a great way to sell this
Amazing swing. Great looking mini driver. What kind of shaft is it? Ventus Blue 7X or 7S? Any tipping? Love to order one just like it.
7x tipped
so sick.
Love mine cracking ball flight and looks , pity mine only goes 215 to 225 😂😂😂
But does exactly what I want it to
I was a caddie back when the original Burner came out. Just about every member had one too. 😅
his swing is so outrageously balanced
just casually driving the green like yeah ok lol
"Its a 2 wood!" sums it up perfectly
Literally in awe of Rory off the tee.
I think that went " ok " 🤣🤣
Was he using the shorter shaft that comes with the BRNR or was that a standard length driver shaft on the BRNR head?
Can't tell for sure but it didn't look like the shorter shaft.
If it wasn't the short shaft, I would have liked to see his thoughts on it as well.
i know rory took the 3 wood out of the bag for this at the heritage but i would be thinking at places like augusta where its more about accuracy he takes the driver out for this and plays a way spinnier 3 wood his driving accuracy would be great and he still hits it a mile with this
TM media team took a note from the Masters broadcast with the fake bird sounds
Oh, to be able to hit one 300 of the deck. He is awesome
Damn Rory !!
The only choice of player for the DRIVER👍
didnt even let the video play and liked this, wish i could afford this mini driver...just wish i could hit like Rory too though lol awesome stuff TM! 👍🏼
there's nothing like that. It's so beautiful.
Best swing in the game by a country mile. Robotic perfection. Numbers are just the exact same every time.
I like how he straight up calls it a 2 wood.
What shaft is he using I’m getting fitted for this Friday!
Great shots. I wonder why Rory can't hit the balls so straight in a competition. The performance of the mini driver is outstanding.
Same as we amateurs cant. My performance on the course compared to range is like 30% worse. Imagine on the golf tournament...
We waiting on you, Kendrick
I find it interesting that Rory only looks at the target once or twice before he hits the shot. However, I noticed at this week's tournament in Charlotte he is looking to the target and back to his ball somewhere between 8 and 10 times. Curious, a most pros are religious on practicing the same routine that they take to the golf course. Before anyone attacks this statement, Rory is my favorite player. I just found it curious is all
Scottie's caddie out earns Rory 😂
He's got right dress code for liv golf and use that driver to win every tournament
If the Dicks’ had a lefty for me to demo I would probably have the new Brnr in my bag!
How were the weights placed.
Nice
When scottie puts it in the bag .. ill consider it.
I almost don’t* see a need for it in his bag. He’d have to replace the clubs he is money with. I could see him testing it but I don’t know what he would switch it out with. He’s great with his woods already and doesn’t need a shorter flying tee club but what do I know 😂😂😂
Meanwhile, Trottie in the background filming for his channel for us mortals.
Freaking golf robot on the range, this guy
so if i buy this club ill be able to hit it just like that right?
