TaylorMade introduced the first steel-headed woods in golf, and they have been on the leading edge of technological innovation in the golf industry ever since. TaylorMade also had the first titanium golf driver in the winner's circle of a golf major (Mark O'Meara, 1998 Masters, Ti.
The TaylorMade SLDR Mini Driver is a new breed of driver that can be beneficial to golfers of every skill level. It was designed to give players a choice between Driver and Fairway when on the tee box. This 'Driver' has some of the same design features as the SLDR metalwoods, while including the distance-enhancing patented Speed Pocket. A TP version of the AeroBurner Mini driver also will be available in 12- and 14-degree versions. It will have the same size head with a longer hosel. The lie angle is 2 degrees flatter, and its. The 12° Mini probably requires an above average swing speed to be effective from the fairway, so if that is not you then the 14° would still be a good choice as the larger head and slightly longer shaft should still go further than the equivalent fairway.

What we say..
Technology
Having discovered amateurs hit their 3-wood off the tee more than they do off the fairway, TaylorMade created a deeper-faced, 260cc “mini driver” with a Speed Pocket technology for faster ball speeds, higher launch and reduced spin. Comes in both standard and TP shafts. The standard model will have an RRP of £199 and is equipped with a Fujikura 57 shaft. It is the same shaft used in the SLDR driver, but at 43.5 inches, two inches shorter than the SLDR driver. The TP model with have an RRP of £249 and is equipped with Fujikura’s Motore Speeder 7.3 shaft and is built to a heavier, D5 swingweight for improved control. Lofts in both models range from 12°, 14° and 16°.

Looks
The grey head with black detail at the back really works. The contrast between the crown and the face certainly helps alignment.

Feel/sound
Generally hot on a wide area from heel to toe. The stock shaft is light so an upgrade to the TP may be required for fast swingers to gain more stability and control.

Forgiveness
Impressive given how small the face is over a driver. Shots struck low on the face launched higher than expected.

Performance
It sits almost directly between the driver and 3-wood in size and you need to do the same in terms of tee height to get the best results. The higher the loft you use, the lower you need to tee it.

Reviewed by Equipment Editor Joel Tadman: “I found the 12° degree model travelled too far off the tee, totalling around the 270-yard mark, which is only a few yards short of my driver and it launched a little low off the deck. My preference would be the 14° head – it sits more between my hybrid and driver but boasts a stronger flight than my 3-wood. The thing that stood out for me was how easy it was to hit once I had the right shaft – accuracy and distance was achievable effortlessly. Initially it’s just a case of working out which club, if any, it’s replacing in your bag. Proven to be more accurate than a driver off the tee but longer than a 3-wood with a more penetrating flight.”
