Acer XV Thriver Mini

The Thriver Mini plays as two clubs in one: a controllable tee ball on short holes and a go-to option to reach a par 5 in two. The compact titanium head carries almost as much volume as a mini driver, so mis-hits stay forgiving.

The Acer XV Thriver Mini is built for two jobs at once: a controlled tee shot off a short hole, and a fairway club with real distance when you need to reach a par 5 or a long par 4 in two. The head is titanium and shaped like a mini driver more than a traditional fairway wood, with a footprint big enough that if you stood it at driver height, the volume would be close to a 380cc driver head. That's a lot of forgiveness in a club this compact.

Being titanium instead of steel does two things for you. Weight sits low in the sole, which gets the ball up higher than the loft on the head would suggest. And the face is thin and lively, so shots come off fast whether you're teeing it up or hitting it off the deck. It carries the same internal chamber and port design as the matching Acer driver, which is part of why it performs more like a small driver than a conventional fairway wood.

The Thriver Mini is for golfers who want one club that covers a short tee shot and a long approach, with forgiveness built in for both.

Liking it!

Pretty sure it's going to replace my 3-Wood in my bag. Great feel and distance

Works great

This mini driver works great. I am able to use it to drive off the deck with good results. Sure does help on long par fives! I was able to get on the green with two strokes on a long par five (which was downhill). BIRD! Big Monster Smile!

Great club!

This thing is easy to hit and goes straight. Can't ask for much better for the price!

Acer Thriver Mini

As a senior I needed a club for tight tee shots and off the deck on long par 5's. This club fit the bill. It looks great and plays really well. Better than my factory 3 wood. I will be playing this club for a long time

Very well made

Love the way the ball feels off the face... takes a little practice hitting a mini driver, but looking forward to being more consistent with it

I�m enjoying my new club. It gives me better control and hasn�t taken away too much distance.

It works the same as a fairway wood off the tee.

Great club! Nice sound!

I bought this as an affordable version of a Mini Driver due to my regular driver lacking in more than one way. WOW! Very forgiving even on mis-hits and I get almost as much distance as a well hit Driver. For about $100 altogether, you won't find a better deal!

Great club

Played 18 holes with it and it was impressive. If golfers are struggling with large drivers, this mini is your answer with a lot more distance than your fairway wood. Solid club

Good fit for most golfers

Mini Thriver hits straight with very good distance without overswinging

Great club

Very versatile. Off the tee as well as a fairway wood.

Great driver it has a purpose

I like the driver. It took me a while to figure out how to hit it. I definitely use a short, low tee and put it where I would a longer iron. I can hit it about 200 yards sometimes longer. I saw a video which said you can hit it off the ground like a 3 wood too. Still haven�t quite mastered that just yet ? but it does work. It would be nice to have a utility club like that in the bag.

Solved my issues on the tee

I am a 70 year old guy who has played most of my adult life, and I have always struggled with my driver. I have difficulty hitting up on the ball as most would agree is necessary for an effective drive with a conventional club. I cannot express how great this club is for me. I am hitting it consistently around 200 yards, usually right down the middle. I have found that the most critical part of being successful with this club is making sure you get the tee height right. I have the best results with the ball teed up so that about 1/4 of the ball diameter is above the club. I am using 1 1/4 inch height tees, the ones most would use with irons on par threes

Thriver mini

I like the size and weight and the looks. I can hit it well

Pleasantly Surprised

I recently tried a mini Thriver to compare to my TaylorMade M4 3W and I officially benched the M4 and bagged the Acer after a week of getting used to it. I'm finding the center of the face very easily and keeping up with my group from the tee box while they're swinging drivers. Highly recommend if you're in the market for a budget friendly 3W or looking for a fairway finder from the tee. The results showed for themselves once I got a few buckets in with it

Great Club

I was looking for a substitute for my driver. This club fits the need excellently. Not to large but not too small. I have found success from the tee from the start. Still working with it, but it has met and exceeded my expectations. Great substitute. Distance as good as my driver but straighter

N
Nick
Great Fairway Finder!

Great weight and footprint, wish the face was a little taller, sets up more like a fairway than a driver. Solid and consistent performing club!

Good in theory, not so much on the course

I liked the idea of this club but after a number of buckets of balls and about 10 rounds on the course, I have taken it out of the bag. Not even as good as my three wood on the tee or fairway. For me the biggest waste of money for any golf equipment

R
Rob
Good choice

The Mini Thriver plays really well. Accurate off the tee and it looks good too. It's also easy to work a draw or fade. Excellent value!

Acer's Mini Thriver is the best in field!

This is my second Acer Thriver. I now have 200 yds off the fairway again. As I age, this club fits my swing very well

Easy to hit

The club jumps off the face with good distance and accuracy

Wonderful

The wider face is just right for mis-hits and little loss of distance. Flight path is ideal and extremely straight

Fantastic Great Club

Absolutely the best golf product I have purchased in years. Flight trajectory is ideal off the fairway and tee

What a Great Club

Love this club. It's titanium (which is great) and it has a good weight. Even though it's a shallow face the sweet spot is pretty big. When it's hit on the nut it's got a great sound. From the tee to the fairway this club rocks and will remain in my bag for quite some time

I recommend this club to Seniors.

I�m pleased with this club off the tee but have yet to be successful hitting it as a fairway club

Acer XV wood

I recently purchased a 15� 3 wood that reminded me of my old persimmon clubs that I hit well because of the location of the weight, so I decided to go small. The 13� Mini fit my senior swing perfectly because the weight is the same as a larger club but more concentrated and lower

Was having problems with my standard driver. The Thriver was easier to hit with more control. Have not lost and distance with the Thriver

Incredibly disappointed

Listen- i suppose you get what you pay for, and its really hard to argue with the price. But this is a below average club. It looked great, but when the rubber meets the road, it is NOT as good as big name brand clubs. I'm sorry to say it- but its true. I struggle to hit a driver like most of us who bought this club. And while it didnt slice or draw uncontrolably, the sweet spot was a crapshoot to find. There was zero consistency to the length of shot you would get on this club, and the slightest miss hit felt like a foul tip with a broken aluminum baseball bat. I took it to my golf shop, along with my 5 wood and a garage sale 7 wood. I consistently hit the ball farther with each of those clubs. I could rarely cross 185-190 yards with this club. And those were the good shots. I dont have the answer to our collective driving problems... but i know this- its NOT this club

Mini Driver - Major hit

Replaced my existing three wood. Found the larger club very easy to hit off a tee or off the ground. It's more like a 2 wood. Not as long as my driver but easier to control. Glad I got it

Very good Club

Club is easy to swing and hit...distance is less than driver...but I can't hit driver consistently
