guys guys, some update,

 

I finally picked up wishon fairway/driver.  Built to specs about 43 1/4" length (my driver is 44.5").  I only hitting it 10 yards shorter than my driver.   My only complain the shape of the head at address.... it looks smaller than the tmag mini driver and it's not a pear shape.   I will try to put it in my bag for the rest of the season. 

Nice! Glad to hear.

I was hitting the Mizuno JPX EZ 13* and was very impressed. Anywhere on the face it took off with the same flight.

I still game the SLDR mini 14* for when the driver goes south. Pretty darn straight and maybe 20 yards short of a driver. Can't manage it off the deck though thus the 4 wood in the bag.

I have the X2hot 3 Deep in my bag and it fits what I need. Hit the 2 Deep today at my club and it was impressive. A touch harder to hit off the deck than the 3 Deep but it is manageable. Makes me want to go check out the Callaway mini 1.5 now.

I just started playing the 16* sldr mini driver.  I picked mine up on ebay for 50 bucks.   I hit it roughly 40 yards shorter than my driver, and have no trouble hitting it off the deck.  For me: it's primary function will be for long par 5's, and for when my driver isn't cooperating.   It will rotate in and out of my bag based on the course I play.  In my opinion it was a fantastic purchase.

I used to go this route myself. I used a 3 deep for a couple seasons. I found that it fantastic off the tee, and on my good swing days, pretty good off the deck into par 5's. Problem I had off the deck was launch angle. Just not high enough to carry obstacles. So I spent some time with my driver hitting 3/4 shots and knockdowns, got to the point where I didn't really need the 3 deep anymore and moved on to conventional 3 woods again. My gapping is better now, and my ability to go after par 5's with confidence is back. So while I do like those mini drivers, I feel they limit your ability to score.

I just picked one up for $89 shipped, from tee2green6931. It came in the mail yesterday, got her in 2 days.  Can't wait to try it out tomorrow afternoon.  Actually had a $50 ebay coupon and $22 left in my PP account from selling some old clubs so I basically only paid $17 for the club....What a Deal!!!

Find a Taylormade V Steel tour spoon 13°on ebay and put a mid/high launch shaft in it. I put a UST Proforce in mine and it took off. Easy to hit off the deck and tee. Ball goes where you want it and plenty of distance.

Similar experience here Zeff. I no longer carry Driver and play 2 iron off fairways.
