Just found this thread. I've been hitting the mini 14* since September. Was just using it off the fairway with fair results 7/10 were acceptable shots. Since Jan I have been using it as my driver. Off the tee I'm out about 235-240 yds, only 15 yds off what I used to hit my driver - if I hit it well. I've learned to hit it low or high by positioning the ball in my stance. What I love is that sweet "thack" sound, almost no feel in my hands when I hit the "sweet spot" and straight ball flight. Love it! Since using this as my driver I'm consistantly shooting in mid to low 80s. Last three rounds have been 81. Now just need to learn the sink those 6 ft and in putts. I'm more likely to make a 20 ft putt than a 4 footer, LOL. Now I'm looking to fill the gap between the mini and my 3 hy. Any ideas?
Maybe a 4 or 5w? I know TM makes a HL version of some of their woods.

I haven't read this whole thread, but it seems like the general consensus is: rubbish off the deck, but great off the tee.
I don't need a driver replacement, were getting along very well right now. I'm more interested in finding something to get more distance on long par 5's, and I can't stop wondering about something like this. Maybe some of the newer 3w's would give the extra distance I'm looking for?
I'll have to check those out, thanks. I still like my FL3W, but I always seem to overdraw it when trying to get a little more. It's still pretty great with a smooth swing, but I figure there has to more available from a newer club.BBB - there are quite a few long fairways out there right now that are going to be a little better suited to shots off the turf, assuming you are decent at that shot.
XR, AeroBurner, and TEE E8 would probably the first that come to my mind.
Thanks, I'll have to drive down to green bay this weekend and check some out. I'm sure I'll have to try this one as well, just to scratch that itch. I'm also pretty sure it's going to be just as you and Hawk are describing. LokIt's not the easiest to hit off the deck. I can do it, though it's not something I normally try with it. Off the tee I like it quite a bit. If you are looking for something off the deck that could give you longer distance, I would look elsewhere because this just doesn't seem like a match for that. Plenty of good FW's out there between this and last year. The tour edge stuff always seems long from the turf, Callaway has thrown on some good FW's in the past year too. Good budget find would be Jetspeed. Won't break the bank and the fairway was pretty darn good.
You gotta get outside or anywhere away from the computer man. This behavior just isn't healthy.
I just played my 1st round with mine yesterday. Only played it on one tee shot, hit the ball a little thin, but still went about 235 and straight down the middle. Once I play it a bit more I will come back and add to my review. SO far I lvoe the feel, feels like a little heavier swingweight than my driver, which I like!
I've had this club in 14 degrees for about 3 weeks now. I love it. I've been very inconsistent this year with my driver, so i was looking for something to get me down the fairway and keeping it in between the lines. For me, this club has done that. I'm still working on finding the appropriate ball height on the tee to get the best trajectory, but overall I've been very impressed. Quite honestly with this club in hand, i dont really need a driver because i get decent length and much less dispersion.
How do you like the Fuji 57 Speeder shaft? I have only hit the Mini TP model and it has a different shaft.
