The hugely popular 340cm³ Driver is now available in a significantly improved ELYTE version.
Last year's mini-sized Driver, which garnered attention both on tour and in the market, has evolved even further with the 2025 model. The "ELYTE MINI Driver" maintains the same 340cm³ volume as its predecessor and features the latest Ai 10x FACE. The number of control points (locations on the face that correct for optimal trajectory) has been significantly increased. Like other Driver in the ELYTE series, it incorporates an aerodynamic form and a thermo-forged carbon crown that is easy to mold as designed. Three new weight ports are placed at the rear of the sole, contributing to a lower center of gravity while allowing for trajectory adjustment. A screw weight of approximately 5g is also installed at the front of the sole. Two loft options are available: 11.5 degrees and 13.5 degrees, and it also features an adjustable hosel.
【Features & Benefits】
■ Significantly increased control points
The "ELYTE MINI Driver," like its predecessor the PARADYM Ai SMOKE Ti 340 MINI Driver, is Driver with a compact head size of 340 cm³. Of course, it has also evolved in various aspects. The face uses the Ai 10x FACE, which has a significantly increased number of control points. In addition, the Ai 10x FACE of the "ELYTE MINI Driver" was developed using AI input from the same players as the ELYTE Driver.
■The shape reduces air resistance, increasing swing speed.
The "ELYTE MINI Driver" also utilized a 3D printer capable of handling titanium, which was introduced through new investments. This allowed prototypes to be produced in 1/90th of the previous lead time, enabling the creation and testing of numerous head shapes. The shape ultimately adopted is slightly shallower than the previous model and significantly reduces air resistance, greatly contributing to improved swing speed.
■ Thermo-forged carbon also contributes to the excellent sound of the ball hitting the clubface.
The "ELYTE" series Driver now feature a new carbon material in the crown: thermo-forged carbon, which is also used in the aerospace industry. This same material is also used in the "ELYTE MINI Driver." In addition to being lightweight and strong, it is easier to mold than conventional triaxial carbon, allowing for more precise manufacturing according to the design. The adoption of this new material optimizes weight distribution, resulting in more ideal spin rate and launch angle. Furthermore, the use of this carbon material also contributes to the "ELYTE MINI Driver" producing a more pleasing sound upon impact than its predecessor.
■ Weight port with adjustable trajectory
The "ELYTE MINI Driver," like the ELYTE Driver, features three new-style weight ports at the rear of the head. These ports offer draw, neutral, and fade positions, allowing for trajectory adjustment by changing the placement of approximately 13g of weight. Furthermore, the weights can be mounted closer to the ground, and the carbon material of the crown can extend to the outer edge of the head, significantly contributing to a lower center of gravity. The "ELYTE MINI Driver" also features an approximately 5g screw weight at the front of the sole.
■The loft is 11.5 degrees and 13.5 degrees, and the club length is 43.5 inches.
The "ELYTE MINI Driver" comes in two loft options: 11.5 degrees and 13.5 degrees. It also features an adjustable hosel that allows you to adjust the loft and lie angles. The club length remains the same as the previous model at 43.5 inches.
