Depends on how much smaller you want.  TM has a 430cc SLDR and Titleist 915D3 is 440cc.   If you want something the size of the TM SLDR Mini take a look at the Callaway X2Hot Deep or the yet to be released XR Deep

I've put them side by side, and the Callaway Deep woods look so much smaller than the Mini Driver, to the point where I feel like there's a joke that I'm not getting. The Deeps look smaller than most 3 woods I've hit. I don't see what's confidence inspiring about them. I say that as a Callaway nut who wants to love the 3Deep.

Dom's Sticks:

Callaway X-24 10.5° Driver, Callaway Big Bertha 15° wood, Callaway XR 19° hybrid, Callaway X-24 24° hybrid, Callaway X-24 5i-9i, PING Glide PW 47°/12°, Cleveland REG 588 52°/08°, Callaway Mack Daddy PM Grind 56°/13°, 60°/10°, Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter w/SuperStroke Slim 3.0 grip, Callaway Chev Stand Bag, Titleist Pro-V1x ball

The face shape is different, more driver like, but the head is relatively small.  I suggest you give them a test, you might be surprised by the distance gain you see over the standard Cally 3W.

I've been very much dying to try them. Problem is that most stores near me don't have demo versions of it, and I feel bad asking the guys to tape a retail one up when I don't think I'll be walking out of the store with one. Hopefully Callaway ships more demo Deep clubs with the XR range this year.

I don't really "get" the Mini Driver craze.  When I first started playing, I gamed a 2W (Callaway "The Deuce"), and now I game both an r7 Superquad 460cc driver and a Ping TiSI Tec (323cc).  323 is "mini" compared to 460cc, and I didn't have to pay $279.99 for one.  It was sitting in my garage the whole time.

why?  its their job.  and a lot of the big box stores dont work on commission so it makes no difference to them.

Most guys wont care about that. Just depends on the personality i guess. each time you visit the store talk to these guys and start building friendships with them. I stop by Dick's so often, all theguys know me and actually frequently give me advice and tell me to try out some of the new clubs. Only takes a few seconds to throw some tape on one. Plus those should be pretty cheap now with all the new taylormade stuff

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
