Alex Etches Golf reviewed the 2025 Callaway Elyte Mini Driver and found an exceptional smash factor up to 1.47, an 88 score median, and incredibly tight dispersion alongside a preferred matte finish. However, the reviewer noted that the club is difficult to hit off the fairway for golfers who struggle with woods and produces a muted feel and sound on off-center toe strikes.
