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.

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
