2nd Swing Golf
Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“This dispersion, frankly, is just disgusting”
Ridiculously consistent in testing: roughly 2,300 rpm spin with only 41 rpm average deviation, tight carry windows, and real usability off the deck.
+ the facts · 7 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Very low spin (around 2,300 rpm) with tiny deviation across strikes
- +Carry distance held between 271 and 275 on the first five tee shots
- +Hot face with 1.46 smash out of the gate
- −Feels dead off the face with little feedback, a matter of preference
- −Feels bigger off the deck than off the tee, more so than other minis
For: Anyone shopping mini drivers who struggles with spin and wants the confidence of a bigger 340cc head

“the big tech piece of the story is that it has the Tri-Force face”
Podcast walkthrough of Callaway's third-straight mini driver: not a huge tech story, but the Tri-Force face trickling down and a 340cc head make it a credible tee-biased driver replacement.
+ the facts · 4 pros · 3 cons− the facts
- +Tri-Force face (titanium, bonding layer, carbon fiber) brings more COR at a legal CT
- +Bigger 340cc head means higher MOI than the 300-305cc industry norm
- +Step sole carried over from the utility wood and fairway line
- −340cc is bigger than the 300-305cc the hosts consider the sweet spot for off-the-deck play
- −Now takes a fairway wood shaft, so driver shafts from the previous mini are not compatible
- −Mini driver tech in general is just driver tech shrunk down, so limited new story
For: The golfer who wants a driver replacement or second control driver, hitting it roughly 90% off the tee
