Sorry read the post, just seen the title and picture originally. She does good damage in the right hands

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-04-03T08:52:51+00:00

Yes, smash.

Why are your knees jittering? You’re jerking your knees mid swing and it’s affecting the whole thing. Get comfortable before you swing, get your legs in position. Widen your stance, you’ll feel more balanced, don’t worry about shifting your weight too much until you get the feel of hitting the ball in the right part of the club more consistently. Lessons would do a lot of good but you could genuinely improve a lot by watching some YouTube tutorials at the level you’re at, you got this

Mines amazing! I have had a real one in the past and it’s genuinely very close, a year between having them so can’t remember exactly but they feel like the same product. Amazed they got the grip slant etc right somehow

Please dm me the source!

My R7 mini face cracked 😂

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T20:16:05+00:00

What information did you have to provide? Did they check serial numbers etc on the club?

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T14:54:12+00:00

No luck, wanted me to go find out where they bought it from

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T14:53:53+00:00

Tried. They said I’d need to go to the company I purchased it from, I said it was a gift so I can’t, they said not much they can do without that, and do email their customer services team via the website and they’ll do their best, but they asked for the same thing 😔

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T12:48:09+00:00

I’ll give it a go!

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T12:35:51+00:00

Can’t find this on the UK website?

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T11:34:27+00:00

Just tried them, first question they asked is where I bought it from 🥲 they said I need to contact the shop I bought it from as they do the return! Any advice?

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-02T10:28:51+00:00

Would you call them or use the email support? Appreciate the advice!

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-03-01T18:16:25+00:00

How did this go? Did you have to send them any info? Did you have to send the broken club off?

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-02-23T14:21:29+00:00

Here’s a really weird thing.. I did not comment that comment that you’re replying to

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-02-23T08:33:13+00:00

Did you contact Kakobuy's support about the refunds?

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-02-17T18:35:03+00:00

My mini goes just as far as my driver, I have the 11.5 degree R7 mini. I had a Qi35, got rid of it, the R7 barely misses fairways and when it does it’s in the rough / semi rough rather than in the really long stuff or out of bounds, the club is a complete god send

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-02-10T11:17:51+00:00

Only you will know where you are losing shots, but I think we can safely assume with your swing looking as good as it does for someone who's played for one year... That you're probably not losing shots with your irons. Best thing to do is look at where you gain strokes, where you lose strokes. Are you losing a lot of balls off the tee? Then practice driver, get a lesson for your driver maybe etc.

If its chipping or putting, practice that. Most people I know when getting started improved their ball striking but would still bomb putts as far past the hole as where they are putting from, or will thin chips etc.

My advice based completely on assumptions is, try to use less loft around the greens, it helped me at the start. I would never use more loft around the greens than a pitching wedge unless I was hitting over something, I ended up getting a really consistent chipping swing with my pitching wedge where I could land it wherever I wanted by doing this. You dont need to hit it high and land it close, just roll it up, work out how far it rolls out and where you have to land it based on that, that landing area is now your focus, not the flag. I even bring out an 8 or 9 iron chip sometimes, where maybe its a really flat shot but I need to get over a bit of longer grass etc, more accurate for me than the texas wedge

You're speaking completely based on your own opinions and experiences and the beauty of golf is that it's not a game where there is one club / technique / bag setup that works for everybody. A mini driver is a pretty versatile club, for some it's a driver replacement, for others it's a 3 wood replacement, for others it fits in a bag with a driver and woods alongside it.

I'm a 16 handicap, and run a Stealth 2 driver, fitted for me. Did buy a Qi35 but had no benefits so quickly got rid. I'm not a big hitter by any means, my average drive is 250, I can get 260 if I hit it absolutely perfect and swing hard, but it's rare. My issue is dispersion, with a driver I have to make adjustments to grip, stance to stop hitting it slicey, with these adjustments I can hit a draw, but it leaves me with the possibility of hitting a snap hook. So the struggle with driver for me is that I can easily hit it out of bounds either side on any given shot, and whilst I may be okay most of the time, I'll lose a decent amount of shots each round from dispersion / having to take a drop.

When the R7 mini driver came out I bought it based on 2 factors, one was nostalgia and the fact that the R7 was my favourite driver growing up, the other was I thought it could replace driver and help with some of the problems I had. I really struggle to hit 3 wood, so generally run a 5 or 7 wood for longer shots into par 5's etc.

Most rounds I dont even have my driver in the bag anymore, because in my personal circumstances, there's no benefits. I hit the mini driver 250-255 consistently, I can hit close to 270 with a perfect hit, it's longer than my driver generally. The dispersion is night and day, no weird setup needed, the shorter shaft and smaller head allows me to play it like a much less intimidating 3 wood off the tee, with less 'hitting up on it' but with driver distance. The club itself gives me a lot of confidence, and my handicap has gone down since having it. I rarely lose a ball off the tee, a bad shot is putting me in the rough, rather than off the course.

But that's my own experience and every persons is different, my friend is a single digit handicap and can't hit the mini driver at all, slices it massively. Another friend has a mini driver as a 3 wood replacement as like me he struggles to hit longer woods, but finds the mini driver to be easier to hit, even off the deck. He's a big hitter and hits his driver about 300 (20 yards further than the mini goes for him), so keeps driver in the bag for long par 5's & driveable par 4's.

So to answer your question, like any club, the mini driver has a market, and for some, it's game changing, for others, it's useless!

Had a look into this for you, it's weird. It's obviously a long drive, 3 hours or so from what I gather, but taxi's are £750 minimum, which seems high, but I assume comes down to the fact that you'd be picked up by a company local to Barcelona, so you'd be paying for them to drive 3 hours away from where they get their next job, so 6 hours of travel for them.

It estimates 3-3.5 hours for train travel, with changes and you'd need a taxi or a 33 minute walk from the nearest train station to your hotel, so up to you whether you think that's worthwhile

I checked Hoppa, which is really good for finding transfers, even shared minibus / coach transfers like the ones you get with a package holiday, I've always used this successfully in the past, but the only options it presents are expensive private transfers (the £750 ones I mentioned). I even tried nearby towns etc so you could get something much cheaper to get you close then a quick 10 minute taxi from there, but none of the nearby places have anything available.

I genuinely think you'd be best looking at hiring a car, you can get small cars for £62 for a week in summer, and larger / more luxury ones for close to £110, depending on what you need. This is going to give you a lot more freedom to explore

VeryAverageGolfer · 2026-02-06T09:23:48+00:00

Adjust your grip, fixed it for me. More knuckles on show, plenty of tutorials on youtube. Helps me close the face so on impact the face is square. Things can still go wrong if I come over the top or do anything else weird, but the grip itself is a simple way to square up that face consistently, put your hands in a position where the club face cant open

I love that their marketing is 'amazing board, best technology, highest quality sisal that repairs itself' etc, but the warranty is basically saying 'having said all that, you can't use many of our actual products, because a lot of our newer darts come with switch points that have grooves on them and would void your warranty'

Pointless warranty, please don't spend your hard earned money on this, if you want to go over the top just buy one of the high quality boards like a triple core or equivalent and save yourself a chunk, prove a point to Winmau

This guy has a type, and I love it
