Mini drivers are everywhere right now.
They are one of the hottest equipment trends, both on the professional tours and with club golfers, but are far from a one-size-fits all type of club.
A hybrid mix of a traditional driver and a fairway wood, they’re primarily designed to be as accurate as a three-wood and as long as a driver. On the hole, mini drivers are built to strike that perfect balance between control and distance.
Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose are just a couple of the world’s top 10 golfers to have one in the bag. In fact their popularity is quite astounding.
One in four professionals at the 2025 BMW Championship chose to have a mini driver in play. Whilst, 25 to 30% of the field at the 2026 Masters also utilised one.
It’s fair to say then, that the mini driver has carved out a unique space in the market. Yet there still seems to be a bit of confusion as to who should use them.
