I'm still loving my Rogue ST Max. 😍  As for distance I don't see much if any improvement over my Epic Flash. The Flash is a bomber and hard to beat on distance gained.

More of the same today. I think it’s time to move on. I love the look of the head but it sets up closed to my eye and I really need a more open face.   

The only thing you could do is lower loft to open the face. Are you sure it’s not the shaft? I tested a lot of shafts and one shaft I had the case of snap hooks but with my current set up it’s soft fades all day long.

The joys of self fitting and/or tinkering. Trying to find the right feel and the performance. Lowering loft with current head or getting a lower lofted head to start with and then doing the same.

not sure what shafts you have tried other than the rpg and the td but the Accra tz5 or 6 could be an option for what you want in a shaft. Potentially either tensei av raw white or the rogue white

I have lower the loft with a green dot adapter and it was still closed to my eye. I know the lefts are swing related but my biggest concern was ball speed being lower than normal for me even on centered hits.

You have launch monitor data?

I was getting good numbers with the Diamana ZF 50TX except ball speed. Feel was perfect with the shaft. Loaded just right and I was finding center face really well. It’s possible I just got a head on the lower end of the tolerances as centered contact and 110-113ss was only getting me 155bs.

Ball speed seems to be affected by strike location is my best guess. Your experience may differ, but with 110-113 I think it may help going heavier and shorter (if you’re playing stock 46ish length). 


i play LAGP AXS blue at 45.25 and it weighs closer to the 70 gram range. I find heavier helps me feel face more. I am surprised by the triple diamond looking closed, it looks very pleasing to my eye but that’s why we are all different. It may be time to try something else or try to get a new shaft to help center strikes more. 
 

out of curiosity which other heads are you considering?

From personal experience, I tried a Speeder TR 661TX recently for a few rounds, when it went well it was awesome but I had like 4-5 snap hooks and 3 went OB. Those are round killers. But if the head looks closed that will be hard to overcome I would think.

I just got a ST-G 220 to try out. Those numbers are from center strike via ball mark on face. I also play my driver at 44.75” normally. Anything over 45” and I’m all over the face. I never seem to get comfortable with 70g shafts for some reason.

Yeah I get that. I used to play at 44.5 then I went to 45.5 and didn’t notice much change in dispersion but settled on 45.25 after some more experimenting. That makes sense with weight, after going lighter I sometimes tinker with a tensei pro white 70tx and it is great until I need a nice smooth cut on 18 with the match on the line haha.

I recently purchased a used Autoflex 505x shaft with a Callaway tip on it from Cody and I put it on my new Rogue ST LS and lowered to 8 degrees loft and I have increased about 20 yards in carry but the biggest surprise is that it is actually more accurate, I can’t wait to see what it does when it warms up and the fairways get harder.

Just got fitted at CC for and ordered the Rogue ST Max with a VA Nemesys 65 R.  The dispersion was really quite something, nice and tight.  My swing is quite broken at the moment, but if I can consistently get to 95mph club head speed, this game is going to become a lot more fun.  Light blue (very old) gamer was all over the place.  Red for the win.
