So I have been struggling with my driver a lot this year, was at my local pro shop and found a Callaway Bertha mini 1.5 that I put one of my shafts on( elements Crome + cut to 44.5" regular flex) I was hitting almost the same as my driver for distance but I was able to keep it in a tighter group. Felt like I had more control over it, so this Sunday the driver stays home and I give the mini a go. I'm thinking more Fairway and a little less distance is better then missed Fairway and rough

I have one. I liked it a lot for a while but it didn't solve my biggest problem with my driver, which is clubface control. It's a better tee option than a 3W but the driver is more forgiving simply because it is bigger. What I ended up doing is taking the shorter shaft out of the mini and putting it into my driver so now it just sits in the basement.

One of the guys I play with carries one.   He switched to it from a Big Bertha and likes it better.

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
