The Big Guide To Mini Drivers: Every 2026 Model Compared

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times: mini drivers are here to stay—and they serve a real purpose for a lot of golfers. But just because they’re all called “mini drivers” doesn’t mean they’re all built the same.

Like irons, wedges, and putters, every manufacturer has its own design philosophy in the form of shape, weighting, loft packages, and playability off the tee and turf. So here’s a look at the mini drivers currently on the market, and how each one stacks up in terms of function, features, and specs.

TaylorMade R7 Quad Mini

Like the original namesake R7 (and now the Qi4D Driver), the R7 Quad Mini features 4-way adjustable weighting—but the similarities stop there. It also features an infinity carbon crown and brings with it all of the other standard technology features of previous generation minis, including a 4-degree adjustable hosel sleeve, speed pocket, and twist face.

At 305 cc the R7 fits right in the middle of the pack for size, but still skews to be used more off the tee than off the deck at an estimated 70/30 split for most players. Although a new 15.5° opens a whole new world of possibilities.

It comes in lofts of 11.5°, 13.5°, and now 15.5° (right hand only) and a standard length of 43.75”.

Price: $480

Callaway Elyte Mini (Midnight Edition)

The Callaway Elyte Mini Driver takes everything you know and love about the Elyte driver and, as the name suggests, makes it mini. It comes with a three-way adjustable weight along the rear of the driver to fine-tune ball flight, plus an adjustable hosel to tune lie and loft independently.

I made this for Callaway's last mini-release, and this gives me a great excuse to share it again (just replace AI Smoke with Elyte).

At 340 cc, the Elye mini is the largest of the mini drivers on the market by more than 10% and is, by design, the most forgiving and easiest to hit off the tee. Unless you’re a golfer who possesses a lot of club head speed, the Elyte mini is best reserved to be used primarily as a secondary tee option.

It comes in lofts 11.5° and 13.5° in right and left-handed and a standard length of 43.75”.

Price: $520 (Midnight Edition)

Titleist GT280

The GT280 was a long time coming for Titleist, and unlike the rest of the minis on this list sits firmly under the 300cc size at (I’ll give you one second to guess…too late) 280cc. This allows it to occupy a very unique space in the mini driver category because it was specifically designed to be used as easily off the deck as off the tee.

As far as features are concerned, the GT280 comes with Titleist’s SureFit hosel adapter to adjust lie and loft independently, and front and back weights to help dial in ball flight and spin.

It only comes in one loft: 13°, but is available in both right and left-handed, and a standard length of 43.5”.

Price: $500

PXG Secret Weapon

Until the Cobra King Tec MD came along, the PXG Secret Weapon was the most adjustable mini driver on market.

The PXG features 4 way adjustable sole weighting to help fine tune ball flight, with the heel and toe bias weights located along the most perimeter compared to the other models. It also has PXG’s adjustable hosel which can adjust loft by 1.5° up or down.

At 300cc, it’s just a hair smaller than the TaylorMade but from a profile perspective has a flatter leading edge that moves towards the heel and toe to increase lower face forgiveness.

It only comes in one loft: 13°, but is available in both right and left-handed, and a standard length of 43.75”.

Price: $450

Cobra King Tec MD (Mini Driver)

The King MD mini driver is big driver tech in a mini driver package, with some fairway wood magic thrown in for good measure.

It was designed around the concept of offering a secondary tee option without giving up potential playability from the fairway when required. The carbon crown helps to push the center of gravity lower in the head, with the weight savings used to create adjustable sole weighting for fine tuning.

The feature that truly separates the King TEC-MD from others in the mini driver category is Cobra’s Future Fit 33 hosel because it allows for so much fine tuning or lie and loft. This is particularly helpful for adjusting the lie angle, which is a critical spec in helping reduce fairway wood dispersion and improving turf interaction.

It only comes in one loft: 13.5°, but is available in both right and left-handed, and a standard length of 43.75”.
