Callaway Rogue ST Fairway Wood
We tested: Rogue ST Max: 15°, 16.5°, 18°, 20°, 21°, 24°, 27°; Rogue ST Max D: 16°, 19°, 22°; Rogue ST LS: 13.5°, 15°, 16.5°
Our take: Not every golfer uses a fairway wood for the same purpose, but nearly every tester had one of Callaway’s three models in their list of top performers. The Rogue ST Max was high launching and insanely forgiving for golfers who needed more height, the Rogue ST LS showed prowess in knocking down spin without losing accuracy, and the Rogue ST Max D helped slicers experience a high draw ball flight.
The details: To enhance both stability and speed in its Rogue ST fairways, Callaway designed two Jailbreak structures that sit behind the extreme toe and heel portions of the A.I. optimized faces; it’s called Batwing technology. The winged design helps reduce speed loss on mishits, but maintains speed by keeping the faces flexible. Also, a heavy Tungsten Speed Cartridge sits in the sole near the face to move weight low and forward, helping golfers lift the ball higher off the turf and increase speed on shots hit low on the face.
