New 300 Mini driver launched

TAYLORMADE Golf, the company with a proven history of products that changed the landscape of golf, have announced the arrival of the new 300 Mini driver.

First released in 2000, the 300cc family of drivers was sought after by players at all levels, and in homage, Taylormade have unveiled the new 300 Mini driver with design cues and aesthetics that create immediate nostalgia for golfers who recall the originals.

The 307cc head delivers a blend of distance, forgiveness and control, relying on advanced multi-material construction to provide the optimal combination of low-centre of gravity performance and high moment of inertia (MOI) forgiveness.

It is a unique design that is powerful off the tee box and also playable “off-the-deck.”

“It’s been 20 years since we last made a metalwood this size,” said Tomo Bystedt of Taylormade’s Product Creation, Metalwoods. “It was only natural to call it the 300 Mini driver to acknowledge what the 300 Series meant to our brand and the game.

“We blended the throwback look with a modern carbon, titanium and steel construction to produce a club that speaks to Taylormade loyalists, while delivering distance from the tee box and the fairway.”

Off the tee, the 300 Mini driver obtains optimal properties of a high launch with low spin, thanks to its low centre of gravity and mass that is distributed across the sole, from front to back.

What this club lacks in stature, it makes up for in speed, using the combination of a high-strength titanium face and Thru-slot Speed Pocket to deliver good ball speeds.

The proven corrective performance of Twist Face adds another level of playability, while a reinvented V-steel soleplate adds to the low centre of gravity properties and promotes improved turf interaction and versatility when played off the deck. The 300 Mini driver comes in lofts of 11.5 and 13.5 degrees, and retails for RM2,650.
