Try 75's.

Use a weight that you can get 75reps out of with as many sets as you need but only taking 10sec breaks between each set.
ex.

Set 1 30reps
10sec break
Set 2 15reps
10sec break
Set3 9reps...... and so on until reaching 75 reps.

I just started this, trying to switch things up a bit because I also have trouble getting my calves to grow.

I've found best results when using real heavy weight and when you get to failure, just do static holds...just the pressure on the muscle should shock it to grow...try doing barbell calf raises in the smith machine...

arnold claimed he had bad calves until he cut the leg out of his pants and began training them aggressively.
