Mini Driver suggestions?
Has anyone swapped out their 3-wood in favor of a mini driver? My current driver setup is heavily fade-biased because I absolutely hate missing left. I’m playing a Callaway Quantum TD with a Ventus Black TX at 8°, set up as fade and low launch-biased as possible ( always windy where I play). My 3-wood is a Qi4D with a Ventus Blue TR, and I have it set up with a draw bias. I like keeping my driver to one shot shape, but there are certain holes that really call for a draw, and that’s about the only time I pull the 3-wood. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever hit it off the deck—I usually won’t hit anything longer than a 7-wood from the fairway. My question is: would I be better off replacing the 3-wood with a mini driver that’s set up with a draw bias? If so which isn’t best bet for an anti right mini driver? I don’t mind hitting the 3-wood off the tee, but I can really turn it over at times. Mentally, the way it sits behind the ball just makes me feel like I’m going to hook it left. Visually I prefer the look of a mini driver over a 3 wood for a tee shot. My driver is a very consistent low fade that carries about 285 and gets a ton of rollout. My 3-wood carries around 265 on average with a much higher flight. I like the idea of a mini driver, but if it’s going to add another 10–15 yards, I don’t want to end up with a driver and mini driver that carry almost the same distance. Has anyone made this switch? If so, what were your results? Any advice would be appreciated!
