Blue height for me as well.

I like mine but the sldr 3 wood is a lot longer off the tee and i mean a lot, easier to hit off the fairway and personally i find it a lot more forgiving, mini is now redundant.

Which seems to be totally against other impressions of it, certainly the professional reviews anyway.
Which Mini did you actually purchase, and which SLDR are you comparing against?

Picked a 14 stiff up last night. Had a knock down the range. Quietly pleased, encouraging and hopefully are the feelings I've come back with. Not all were good but not all were slices, and that can only be a good thing

Tried one of these the other day in 16 degree, regular shaft. Felt very nice, my bad shot was a straight push which wasn't too far offline. The only problem was that it didn't seem very long to me from my viewpoint at the range it looked like it went the same distance as my 20 degree hybrid. Perhaps the 14 degree is worth a try

is the sldr mini adjustable? can you crank open the face? how does it sit at address?
I find the ball flight deceptive. Have hit many that I thought went too high but when I walk to the bal I realise I'm in the place my driver would be.

No adjustability on the mini.

Yes it is deceptively high, some of my drives with the 16 degree version have been longer than I anticipated, at first I thought they would be well short but when you catch a good one they go for miles.

If they do, then don't expect the same price point .... we were given explanation that SLDR to SLDR S cost differences was mainly down to adjustable hosel not being included in the SLDR S.

absolutely no excuse for no adjustability these days. I can put the same swing on a club. one with a closed face and the other open and the difference is night and day.
for the sake of cranking it open, I might have to adjust my whole swing to accommodate this club. this was the case with Cleveland classic woods. beautiful heads until you looked down and found out they are monumentally closed.

When I was fitted for my SLDR at the Belfry I had a hit with the mini but was advised by the fitter that it wasnt suited for me as it currently set up
Pretty sure it was a price point v adjustability argument and that they have jumped in a hole in the market (better than the competitors who came first did), be very surprised if they dont add the adjustable version down the line. In an optimal world theyd want to offer a cheaper non adjustable model and a dearer fully adjustable one

did it go left?
a few people on here witnessed what I could do with the Cleveland classic woods. it involved a ball turning at a 90degree angle left. amazing to watch. not great for my scorecard.

Yep it went left lol.
When I was fitted I was hitting everything hard right to left. With the SLDR he set it up weighted to the toe to eliminate the left hand side, sadly was unable to do so with the mini. That said Ive been working on neutralising my swing path and have now moved the SLDR weight back neutral so maybe theres hope for me yet lol
