Small Wonders: Mini Drivers
Deciding between a 'mini' driver and a fairway wood
Share story
ADAMS BLUE
The sole slot helps the face flex, but this oversize 3-wood's key is a thin-diameter shaft that helps launch the ball high. Rear weighting boosts carry distance, too.
PRICE:
$200
CALLAWAY BIG BERTHA MINI 1.5
Its driver-like qualities include an adjustable hosel and flexible face, but the smaller head (235 cubic centimeters) provides the control of a 3-wood.
PRICE:
TAYLORMADE AEROBURNER MINI DRIVER
It's about 50 percent larger than most 3-woods. A slot the width of the sole and a large face area provide distance and forgiveness.
PRICE:
$280
TOUR EDGE EXOTICS CB PRO F2
A light titanium face wraps around the crown and sole so it can flex more. The slimmer waves in the ribboned sole plate help this 3-wood glide through the turf.
PRICE:
$400
