April may be Masters month but at GolfBox Custom we are calling it mini driver month.
New mini drivers from Callaway and Titleist are now in the fitting draws, along with a couple of niche Elyte Triple Diamond models that were a most welcome surprise.
Here’s what’s new in the GolfBox Custom fitting matrix this April.
TITLEIST GT280 MINI DRIVER
The new GT280 is Titleist’s first official mini driver (the previous TSR was technically a two wood) and its 280cc head volume is the most compact in the mini driver category.
Its design mimics the GT4 driver's front/rear adjustable weighting configuration. But its face design is inspired by Titleist’s GT fairway wood range.
The forged L-cup face includes a new insert that wraps around the bottom of the face to boost the performance of low strikes. The leading edge is also lower to automatically raise the strike location higher.
It’s arguably the most capable mini driver off the turf but that’s not to say it won’t hit accurate bullets off the tee.
The Titleist GT280 mini driver features 13° of loft and is fitted with Titleist’s SureFit hosel for additional loft tuning.

CALLAWAY ELYTE MINI DRIVER
Callaway’s new Elyte mini driver sits at the opposite end of the category to the Titleist GT280.
At 340cc, it’s the largest mini driver by a fair way and is essentially a shrunken down version of the standard Callaway Elyte driver.
Like the rest of the Elyte range, it features Callaway’s Ai 10x face, lightweight thermoforged carbon crown to promote a high-launching, low-spinning ball flight, and three discrete weight ports to create a fade, neutral or draw bias.
The Elyte mini driver is skewed towards accurate tee ball performance. However, it offers decent performance off the deck despite having the largest head.

CALLAWAY ELYTE TRIPLE DIAMOND MAX
The new Elyte Triple Diamond Max driver is a bit of a contradiction, but our Master Fitters already like what they see.
The Triple Diamond has always been the compact, low-spin, low-launching model in the Callaway driver range.
The new Elyte TD Max model, however, is a higher spinning version of the low-spin Triple Diamond model. And it also features the full 460cc head volume, although it’s disguised to appear like the more compact Triple Diamond model at address.
Confused? It is a niche performance profile. But don’t worry, our Master Fitters can determine if it’s the right driver for your game.
The Elyte TD Max is already one of the most popular drivers on tour, which suggests the niche performance profile might match up well with faster swing speed players who are seeking a little more forgiveness.

CALLAWAY ELYTE TRIPLE DIAMOND TOUR DRAW
The new Elyte TD Tour Draw came about after frustrated tour pros kept moaning about thier inability to hit a draw off the tee.
The stock standard Elyte Triple Diamond is fade-biased, which makes it difficult for players to turn the ball over when they need to hit a draw.
The TD Tour Draw is essentially the standard Elyte TD driver with additional heelside weight, which helps the head close faster to produce a drawing ball flight.
Again, it’s a niche low-spin driver offering from Callaway. But if you like hitting draws, it might be the perfect match for your swing.
