“Sometimes smaller is better.”
That’s the lesson Drew Stoltz learned in the latest episode of Emergency 9, presented by Cobra, when he took the Cobra KING TEC mini driver out for a spin.
What benefits can a mini driver offer you? The smaller head can help eliminate your big miss, leading to more fairways off the tee — and as a result, better approach opportunities and potential looks at birdie.
“Take, for instance, you’re a guy who struggles off the tee with his driver,” Stoltz said. “I’ve seen people switch to this mini driver and immediately become infinitely better at driving the golf ball than they were before.
“It’s easier to hit. It’s easier to get up in the air,” he continued. “If you’re a guy that fights a big slice, I see this thing straighten it out all the time. You can still tee it up off the ground.”
While you may sacrifice a bit of distance off the tee with the mini, Stoltz says it may well be worth it.
“You’re gonna be in play way more often than you would if you tee up driver every time and spray it,” he said.
Another benefit of the mini? It can replace a difficult 3-wood, which can be a tough club to master for some players.
“If you’re a guy that doesn’t like his 3-wood much, scared to use it off the tee, maybe hates it off the ground, any of the above, this is a quick fix for that,” Stoltz said. “You don’t have obviously quite as much distance as you’re gonna get with your with your regular driver, but it’s so much easier if you get 303ccs on this head [compared to 460ccs in modern driver heads], which makes it so much more forgiving, optimizes your speed, your dispersion. It’s just a lot easier to hit and get off the tee than the 3-wood.”
Stoltz said he likes Cobra’s KING TEC mini specifically because it’s built with Cobra’s PWRSHELL H.O.T. Face technology, which enhances forgiveness, straightens ball flight and tightens dispersion on off-center hits.
“You got two adjustable weights, one near the face, one towards the back. You got the FutureFit33 technology. You can move it up in loft, down in loft, go more upright, go more flat,” Stoltz said. “Whatever type of swing you have there’s a fit that’s good for you.
“It’s the most versatile mini driver on the market.”
