Why are you worried about your calves? If you have longer legs, they will look smaller. I have the same thing happen with my arms. I have shorter legs, so they look bigger, but a longer torso/arms, so they don't grow as fast as big. To me, it's all a matter of strength. If I am hitting my lifts, then I don't worry what they look like.
If you want to really work them, well just remember that appearance follows function, so what do your calves do, primarily? They flex your feet down, so IMO, the best way to work your calves hard is not to lift with them but to jump with them. Whether that means you are doing hang cleans, power cleans, or just jumping from the floor onto a box or bench, any of those will work, and give more overall power/strength to your calves.
Or you can always go the Johnny Drama route and get calf implants
Anyway, heavy back today, so deads, lat pulldowns and finished up by rowing.
