Mini Drivers: A Game Changing Option for Amateur Golfers

The argument is that Mini Drivers offer a powerful middle ground:

- More forgiving than a 3 wood

- Easier to control than a standard driver given shaft length

- Ideal for golfers who struggle with consistency off the tee

While you won’t see many tour pros using a Mini Driver, there’s a simple reason why: they’re already elite with a 460CC head. They don’t need the added forgiveness or control that amateurs often benefit from.

But here’s the stat that may surprise you:

You are only 0.9% more likely to hit the fairway with a 3-wood than a driver.

That tiny difference surprises most golfers but it can be where the Mini Driver excels. You ensure minimal drop off in distance but get all the forgiveness that the larger head brings in comparison to a 3 wood.

So, if you're looking to improve your tee game without overhauling your swing, a Mini Driver might be the most underrated upgrade you can make.
