Today, Ian and Mikey are reviewing a replacement driver. But is just a remake of a classic old driver? Drawing inspiration from the iconic late-90s BurnerTM drivers, the all new BRNR Mini Copper offers a twist on a timeless design. It’s distinctive copper styling, retro logos, and meticulously crafted components blends heritage and modern innovation.
Will it replace Ian’s 3 wood? Good chance the answer is yes!

I'd like to see a test comparing these with a 460cc head, with all other specs (length/shaft/weight/loft) the same
Same thing different graphics..Big deal.
Excellent review and you have convinced me to compare my 10.5 Burner driver to this mini Burner. I don’t need more distance I simply want tighter dispersion. Do you do fittings?
I'm shit at golf and tried this the other day. Out drove my driver by 20 yards
I bought the OG Original One when I was struggling with driver a little while back and love mine. Have a G430 Max in the bag now so it doesn't get the workout it used to but still roasting it off the tee on shorter par 4's and off the deck into longer par 5's so absolutely no need for a 3 wood anymore either.
Yep this is the same release as last year, only difference is the logo. This doesn’t make sense.
Get a old burner bubble 3 wood for Mikey to try
I'd like to see you get Ronnie in there to test the Mini Driver off the tee AND Off The Ground, maybe install a high launch shaft and, if needed, fiddle with the loft. Is this weapon suitable for lower swing speed players?
The 11.5 turned down to 9.5 is lethal. I tried that combo from the previous Taylormade offering and it was so much fun to swing out of your shoes and still find the fairway around the 290 yard mark.
Would love to see how the 13.5 performers off the tee + head to head w previous models
There are different driver swing speeds: very low to low, medium, fast and freak speed. Mikey would be medium, Ian fast. It would have been nice to see Mikey hit this, rather than just there to ask questions.
Would you use the 11.5 instead of a driver if your swing speed is around 90 mph and you normally get fitted with a shorter shaft?
We called it a Thriver
I love mine! Can you do a video trying different shafts?
Most amateur and weekend golfers should game this club. Yes, nice to hit the odd bombs with big dog and feel that they are missing out if they don’t, but it’s fairway finder all the time for me and only 10-20 yards in it. Work on the other parts such an around the green a putting. Drive for show putt for dough 😊
Mine comes tomorrow and I can’t wait!!!
Jake Knapp has one in play this week
95g TX T1100 Hulk @ 5 wood length. Imagine trying so make that flex!?!?!?!? 😂
My 13.5 showed up yesterday – super excited to get it dialed in. I struggle with dispersion (distance is not the issue) so I "think" this could be a weapon for me.
Well over priced
if you teed up one level get higher on the face you might add twenty yards on carry
I still think there's a massive gap in the market for a 3 wood in the 220 – 250cc range and we just dont see them. Ive tried this off the deck and im a pretty decent player, and its TOUGH. Im just not buying it when people say this works off the deck, unless you're swinging well, it's way tougher than a 3 wood.
Still have the OG Driver with the original Ti bubble 2 shaft, the blades that Ernie and Retief rocked (I have the with the original Rifle's too), including a 2 Iron that is so thin and sharp, it's outright impossible to launch it unless you have 115+ clubhead speed. Really a trip down memory lane whenever i see them in the storage. I still have the original humongous staffbag in leather as well. Almost to large to put in a car.
To think 300cc drivers were once considered huge.
"and It's not green."??? Go Rangers!!
I can't hit driver and end up hitting 3W off every tee. Should I be looking at the mini drivers?
Most golfers would benefit from a smaller driver that’s easier to miss hit.
But why……? I just can’t see a legit reason to put it in a bag of 14
I swapped out my 3 wood for a BRNR mini @ 11.5, and I love it! It’s just straight, it’s my fairway finder on tighter holes or when the driver acts stupid. My 3H I hit great off the deck so I had no purpose for a 3W, use this as a tee only club and it’s made a huge difference in my game.
You haven't lived until you've re-gripped multiple Bubble shafts in a sitting. Special grips and a special tool required.
I'e got a 9* driver and tour spoon bubble in my closet right now.
Ive got 2 of last years i play links in Northern England, if its really windy I drop driver turn the 11.5 down to 9.5 heavy weight in the front with a driver shaft and no tee its an absolute stinger launcher head head bullets 280-90 carry 🚀
The only way these make any sense is, if its as easy to hit off the deck as each persons best 3-4 wood!!! Otherwise, driver head is more forgiving because of more real estate, and if you like the 3 wood length shaft, then just choke down the driver grip 2 inches (BOOM). AND, keep your much easier to hit 3 wood (off the deck) in the bag! Best of all worlds!!!
Mini driver ,utility iron, seven wood for tee shots with a decent short game can shoot some good scores. If I could just hit my mid irons and lag putt better 😭
Which one to buy? 11.5 or 13.5?
Tiger is using the new burner in practice round at master
Should have made an updated bubble shaft too!
I want to buy this Mini Driver, even if I would like a 9.5 or 10 degrees TaylorMade Burner Mini Driver.
I play a Mini Driver and I find it is very predictable for distance. I there is any trouble past 250 (common) it is mini driver every time. Regular driver when free to go further. SO MUCH more forgiving than a 3 wood! I play it 13.5 turned up to 15 degrees
