TAYLORMADE SLDR MINI DRIVER GOLF WOOD + HEADCOVER in Team Valley Trading Estate, Tyne and Wear for sale
As new, bought September last year, used 3 times and received a driver off santa so no longer need this club Product features Technology Having discovered amateurs hit their 3-wood off the tee more than they do off the fairway, TaylorMade created a deeper-faced, 260cc “mini driver” with a Speed Pocket technology for faster ball speeds, higher launch and reduced spin. Comes in both standard and TP shafts. The standard model will have an RRP of £199 and is equipped with a Fujikura 57 shaft. It is the same shaft used in the SLDR driver, but at 43.5 inches, two inches shorter than the SLDR driver. The TP model with have an RRP of £249 and is equipped with Fujikura’s Motore Speeder 7.3 shaft and is built to a heavier, D5 swingweight for improved control. Lofts in both models range from 12°, 14° and 16°. Looks The grey head with black detail at the back really works. The contrast between the crown and the face certainly helps alignment. Feel/sound Generally hot on a wide area from heel to toe. The stock shaft is light so an upgrade to the TP may be required for fast swingers to gain more stability and control. Forgiveness Impressive given how small the face is over a driver. Shots struck low on the face launched higher than expected. Performance It sits almost directly between the driver and 3-wood in size and you need to do the same in terms of tee height to get the best results. The higher the loft you use, the lower you need to tee it. Tested Reviewed by Equipment Editor Joel Tadman: “I found the 12° degree model travelled too far off the tee, totalling around the 270-yard mark, which is only a few yards short of my driver and it launched a little low off the deck. My preference would be the 14° head – it sits more between my hybrid and driver but boasts a stronger flight than my 3-wood. The thing that stood out for me was how easy it was to hit once I had the right shaft – accuracy and distance was achievable effortlessly. Initially it’s just a case of working out which club, if any, it’s replacing in your bag. Proven to be more accurate than a driver off the tee but longer than a 3-wood with a more penetrating flight.” Deeper Face than a traditional 3-Wood Low forward CG Inverted cone technology Fujikura Speeder 57 Graphite Shaft Have you ever struggled with a driver off the tee and decided to take out your 3-wood for added accuracy but sacrifice distance?

The TaylorMade SLDR Mini Driver has a low-forward CG like the rest of the TaylorMade SLDR metalwoods, and a Speed Pocket too, which promotes more ball speed and less spin to give you more distance when you loft up
