The biggest difference is how they look and what they're for. The Elyte Mini is a compact version of the 2025 Elyte driver, and testers say it gives up surprisingly little distance to a full driver. The Quantum Mini has a large, tall head that looks like a small driver at address, and testers place its carry between driver and 3-wood.
Testers agree the Quantum is very forgiving, while most found the Elyte forgiving and one called it firmer on mishits. The Elyte's crisp sound gets consistent praise, but opinions on the Quantum's sound are split. Both have 340cc heads, 11.5° of loft and adjustable hosels. The Quantum adds front and rear sole weights to shape flight and is slightly longer at 44 inches, against 43.75 inches for the Elyte.

Choose the Quantum Mini Driver if…
you want the most forgiving second tee club, with a large driver-like look at address, high launch at the default setting and sliding weights to bring the flight down.
