Should You Buy A Mini Driver or 7-Wood?

Mini drivers and 7 woods are two of the hottest clubs in golf right now, but do they actually belong in the average golfer’s bag?

Charles and Roy break down why mini drivers have surged in popularity, what they are really designed to do, and why buying one may not solve your driver problems. Then they dig into the 7 wood boom, why more tour players are using one, how it compares with long irons and hybrids, and which golfers could benefit most from making the switch.

Later, they react to the biggest controversies from The Open, including Bryson DeChambeau’s penalty, Scottie Scheffler’s free relief, and whether golf’s rules are being applied consistently.

To close the episode, Charles and Roy draft competing golf bags from a limited pool of clubs. The result includes aggressive strategy, questionable selections, a chipper, and one host attempting to use a 2 iron as a putter.
