In this video, 2nd Swing's Drew Mahowald is joined by Emma Carpenter for a driver vs mini driver head-to-head test. The goal of this driver vs mini driver test is to highlight the performance differences of a driver vs mini driver if each was set to the same loft. Despite the loft being equal, there are other variables such as clubhead shape and size and shaft length that will dictate performance.
