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 SLDR Mini driver is equipped with a Fujikura 57 shaft. It is the same shaft used in the TaylorMade SLDR Driver, but at 43.5 inches, two inches shorter than the SLDR driver. The TP model 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 TaylorMade SLDR Fairway 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.
My preference would be the 14° head – it sits more between my TaylorMade SLDR 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.
