The left-bias is noticeable in looks and in flight also, I missed the first fairway I played to the left, then the first green left. Like my FlightScope data suggested, distance-wise they were side by side however the Callaway did always seem to be hugging the left side of either the fairway or the green. Outdoor PerformanceĪfter some heavy testing on the range, I then took these for 9 holes alongside the TaylorMade Stealth trying them in different scenarios including: off the tee, from the fairway and out of the rough. Therefore in terms of performance, if you're looking to buy either the Stealth or the Rogue ST - it will be all down to looks and personal preference. ![]() The DataĪll data in this test was captured outdoor in temperatures of around 3-4 degrees.Ĭompared to the Epic Speed Fairway Wood it had similar ball speed but more spin and more launch so it flew around 10 yards shorter.Ĭompared to the TaylorMade Stealth Fairway Wood which I also tried on the same day they were exactly the same in yardage, spin and ball speed. So for those of you struggling with a push or a slice this could be the ideal club for you. I found it to launch high off the face and like most Callaway fairway woods I have tested in recent years - it feels quick.Īs I mentioned, it looks left at address and therefore feels it at impact. Feelĭuring my testing I found the Rogue ST Max felt very easy to hit, the club slides across the turf and gathers the golf ball - it had great turf interaction when hitting from a variety of different lies on the golf course. One thing I will say here is that at address, like the Callaway Rogue ST Driver it looks like the face is slightly closed to target, the head is slightly toed in and draw biased. There is also the small Callaway triangle on top of the crown to aid alignment. ![]() What I also like is how the grooves on the face are painted white which makes lining up the ball in the middle of the face much easier, I also found that inspired confidence at address. The name Rogue ST is also stamped near the hosel insertion a little like you can see on the TaylorMade Stealth Driver and Fairway Wood and the club face is light grey to contrast the black crown. This may put some golfers off but I quite liked it - it felt modern and shaped the ball well. ![]() Again like the driver, it features a matte black crown with a dash of burnt red/orange and white on the rear of the head for extra detail. The Callaway Rogue ST Max Fairway wood looks great. Callaway Rogue ST Max Fairway Wood Review Looks The head is less toed in than the draw biased Max. The LS head has an added feature of being more compact in shape with even more weight forward in the head to reduce spin and workability. This Flash Face Cup also allows for speed and spin for off centre strikes also. ![]() There is a customised face for each model and loft to increase speed, launch and spin off the face.Ĭ300 Maraging steel is used in the face which is high strength whilst being very flexible. designed Jailbreak system has two new batwings pushed to the edge of the head which provides extra stability on a high flexing face.įor the first time in a fairway wood, the 27g tungsten cartridge sits low and forward in the head to lower the spin on the ball and so increase ball speed. I took the Max 3 wood to Denton Golf Club for a few holes and to grab some numbers on the Flightscope Mevo+ Launch Monitor. Funnily enough they said that last year when the Epic Speed was released also. There are two heads available in the line-up: Max and LS which Callaway are stating are their fastest fairway woods ever. Last year I voted Callaway’s Epic Speed Fairway Wood as my favourite 3 wood of the year so I was looking forward to seeing where Callaway went with their new Rogue ST range. Rogue is back for 2022 and if the driver is anything to go by, these woods could become your new fairway finders.
