The mini driver that all golfers should try

Mini drivers have taken a more prominent position in the golf equipment market in recent times as manufacturers seek to provide players with a greater variety of options in their bag.

Bridging the gap between a three-wood and your conventional driver, mini drivers could help golfers to hit more fairways without giving up substantial distance. Modern drivers these days will typically have a head size of 460cc, while these mini drivers are usually sized between 280cc to 340cc. They also have a shorter shaft than what you would expect from a standard driver and are even starting to become popular among tour players.

Golfshake's Equipment Expert, Ryan Rastall has previously explained what these clubs are all about, including a comparison between two of the finest models that we've seen, the TaylorMade R7 Quad and Callaway Elyte.

However, now there is something new that could even surpass them. 

Cobra's KING TEC Mini Driver was engineered to offer golfers a reliable club for both off the tee and fairways that combines superb distance, accuracy and versatility. Golfshake Ambassador Matt Holbrook is among the golfers who have gleefully adopted this new release into their bag.

But how does it compare to the TaylorMade R7 Quad, which remains arguably the high point of this category?

In a new video, enjoying the sunshine at Howley Hall Golf Club in Leeds, Ryan has described the emerging popularity of mini drivers, what they are supposed to do and what you could expect from them. He also puts Cobra's latest through testing on Trackman and on the golf course, discovering just how it measures up to the R7 Quad.

Could this be the mini driver that all golfers should try?
