Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!

I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.

I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!

On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.

If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

The reason its selling out is the same thing you mentioned. You enjoyed hitting it. That is what its all about. I love mine from last year I use it alot on Par 5's and off the tee on short par 4's. I absolutely love the flight on it.

You hit it 310 and straight. Try using it on Break 75 or when you play your matches against Tour Pros, it might actually surprise you.

I don't understand you, Rick. Far better results with that club than both your 3 wood and Driver. No huge left or right misses. You would probably break 75 finally with that club.

Never have understood Rick's bias with the mini driver reviews on this channel and was hoping to see something different here. Finishes the video with a 310yd bomb and doesn't see a point in the club lol. For a decent mid-handicap like myself this club is a godsend. My biggest struggle was always getting off the tee box and I had resorted to teeing off with my 3wood as I couldn't get more than 220-230 out of my driver if I wanted to hit a fairway. With the shortened shaft and smaller head (compared to today's driver monstrosities) I can swing this thing full-speed and consistently get 250 dead center of the fairway with CONSISTENCY. There is ABSOLUTELY a market for a club like this and more manufacturers should consider bringing a 2W or mini-driver option to market.

Hi Rick. Love your show. I am part of a large market segment that hit their drivers quite poorly and benefit massively from a more lofted, forgiving head and a shorter shaft. I bought mine before the start of last season and have played over 50 rounds with it. Its not a gimmick. Its a great club.

Rick, reviewing a club that would help him with some stuff that’s lacking in his game: “I don’t get it, why do people even want this?!” Rick, reviewing the thinnest, most difficult-to-hit irons: “I think I might add these to the bag!”

That's the most fairways I've ever seen rick hit in a video.

I got mine, and was able to order it in custom specs... absolutely the best addition to my bag! I'm a decent length player, and play a lot of shorter courses with my dad, and driver is too much on a lot of holes, so this has come in handy! Tested off the fairway, so when I do play longer courses, off the deck in to crazy long par 5s, is also a go! Struggled for years finding a consistent and good feeling 3 wood, this bad boy is replacing that! I have it at 13.5, down to 13, 1/2 inch short, x flex Kaili blue shaft, and my Z grip (non cord) grip. Absolutely LOVE it! Plus had a burner titanium back in 99, so the retro vibe is strong!

Dude you literally saw how well it performed, how well it does off the deck and everything and didn’t even give it a chance to go into the bag

I am the latter of the 2 you mentioned, I play a links course and my driver goes quite a distance. Since having this in the bag it has become my go to on tight narrow holes. Been a game changer.

Love my mini driver from 2022. Just one suggestion instead of making up scenarios in range mode of the simulator, why don’t you pick a specific hole and course in the system with a tight fairway and landing zone? Would make for much better visualisation! Cheers!

Just bought one in 11.5 degree about a month ago. Always had problems with my driver I had. Just didn't like the look of a big headed driver on my tee shots. I have a burner superfast 2.0 3 wood I was hitting better than my driver so I figured why not try the 11.5 mini driver. Finally got to hit it yesterday and kept it at factory setting. All I can say is it was the best money I have spent lately. Hits way straighter and farther than any driver I have opened. Just have so much more confidence over it too. Nobody was out driving me at the range that day. It is a good setup if you have problems with coming down on your driver swing like I do. Love it

I am overall a 15hdcp, but a 30ish hdcp in driving. I've been playing for 30 years. Have taken years of lessons. Tried so many drivers. Currently playing the Ping G425 Max (very forgiving driver, first 10K MOI). Still lose ~5 balls per game from my drives. Zero confidence with the Ping. I have no idea where it will go. Bought the TM Mini Driver (last year's model) and it has completely changed my game. Same ball speed, with a bit higher spin and higher launch. I lose about 5 yards from my "average good drive", but haven't lost a ball yet. Saved me so many strokes. It is much easier to hit than a driver. I love this club so much!

Been using it for a year as I don't hit a real driver very well. Excellent club. I didn't know about the headcover trick though: will flip it out today! Cheers Rick!

I’ve been intrigued by the mini driver through many of its iterations and they have nailed it in this and the previous version. The weight forward option was the difference maker. By way of background, I’m one of those that can hit their fairway wood further than driver. This is because I can consistently “hit down” with my clubs. I can hit my driver high on the face and get max distance that exceeds the mini driver, but I’m not as consistent hitting up than I am hitting down, hence the variable distance with driver. Unsurprisingly, my average distance with this is in between my driver and 3w. However, I have so much confidence with this that I can reach my driver when I really start swinging freely. I terms of gapping, my next club is a 17* super hybrid that replaces 3 wood, then a 19* hybrid. Basically, at the top end of my bag I have gone with the shortest shafts possible opting for consistency, and relying on doing pushups, or other exercises, for strength and speed. We’ll see if this works out.

Played my first round with it today. I am playing around 21, still pretty new to golf, but it fills me with confidence from the tee box. Didn't feel like i needed my driver today to be honest. For a weekend warrior like myself with very limited time for practice, this just works.
