Mini drivers have carved out an interesting spot at the top of the golf bag. They offer more size and forgiveness than a traditional fairway wood while providing a shorter, potentially more controllable alternative to a full-size driver.
But what shaft should you put in one?
It might seem logical to take your favorite driver shaft, cut it shorter and install it in a mini driver. In this edition of Shaft Boot Camp, Jason from Kinetixx Golf explains why that isn’t always the best approach and why a fairway wood shaft may actually make more sense, especially theirs.
Of course, there isn’t one shaft setup that’s going to work for every golfer. Swing characteristics, desired ball flight and how you plan to use the mini driver all matter. The important takeaway is that a mini driver shouldn’t automatically be treated like a shorter driver when it comes to the shaft.
What type of shaft do you have in your mini driver? Let us know in the comments below.
