Quantum Mini driver launched by Callaway

Mini drivers have become more common across the golf market in recent times and the new Callaway Quantum Mini is ideal for those players who wish for a more forgiving, versatile option off the tee.

Designed as a fairway-finder or 3-wood alternative, it delivers confidence-inspiring launch and control in a compact shape. This generation adds a Step Sole for improved turf interaction and playability off the deck.

What You Should Know About The New Callaway Mini

Zack Oakley - Sr. Manager, Global Equipment Strategy, said: "This is a product we’ve had in the works for a while now. Mini Driver is a category we’ve seen a lot of success with, the market has seen a lot of success with. It’s certainly not for everyone but for those players that do find it in the bag, it is what we call sticky.

"There are two types of players that we’ve identified who gravitate toward the Mini Driver. There are players that are maybe not very good at hitting a driver, that are looking for something that’s a little easier to hit, maybe a bit more consistent due to the shorter build length.

"Then we’ve seen players on the other end of the spectrum who are better ball-strikers, that hit fairway woods probably too far and it’s a club where you’re already going to be hitting fairway wood off the tee because you already hit your driver far enough, why not go to something that’s a little more forgiving and that’s easier to hit off the tee than a fairway wood? So having that extra bit of versatility on the Mini Driver is something we were looking at there. We’ve seen a lot of early Tour adoption with Quantum Mini, so it certainly spans a wide variety of golfers."

Evan Gibbs - Sr. Director, Woods R&D, commented: "The Quantum Mini features all the core technologies of our drivers. The Tri-Force Face, which as we saw with the drivers added ball speed, improved the spin consistency, and made these a lot more forgiving. We’ve added the Step Sole from our fairway woods to make Mini even more versatile.

"They’re probably still primarily used off a tee, but for those who do want to use it off the deck having the Step Sole allows them to get under the ball a little bit easier and help them launch it a little bit higher."

Let's take a closer inspection at the innovations behind the making of this mini driver.

Tri-Force Face

Engineered for speed, distance, and spin consistency - even on off-centre hits - made possible by a breakthrough Tri-Force Face that layers ultra-thin, high-strength Titanium, Poly Mesh, and Carbon Fiber into a fully integrated speed system - a combination never before used in a mini driver face design.

New Step Sole Design

For the first time, Callaway's Step Sole Design makes its way into a mini driver. This design reduces how much of the sole meets the turf for smoother interaction, while the refined shaping helps the head sit naturally behind the ball at address.

Next Generation Ai-Optimised Face Design

Consistent performance across the entire face, thanks to smarter face flex unlocked by Ai that now accounts for how Ultra-thin Titanium, Poly Mesh, and Carbon Fiber work together.

Every part of the face is precisely tuned through advanced Ai modeling to optimise speed, spin, launch, and accuracy based on real impact patterns.

Ball Flight Optimisation

Adjustable front-to-back weighting and the OptiFit 4 hosel dial in start line and shot shape - set the heavy weight forward for a flatter flight or back for more launch and forgiveness, then fine-tune loft and lie across seven hosel settings.

Compact, Confidence-Inspiring Shape

Smaller than a traditional driver, the Mini Driver offers a confident look at setup and versatile performance. It provides the power off the tee and the control to go for it from the fairway.

The Callaway Mini will be available to purchase with a RRP of £489.
