LeftyMatt89 901 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Driver is in. Testing still right now but forgiveness has been great with the triple diamond. Looks awesome behind the ball.

Berg Ryman 5,637 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 So when I went for a spec check on my recently ordered CC irons and wedges I got to ask my guy at CC what he thought of the 2022 line of clubs in the wood space since I'm going to be going back at season's end to sure up the bag for the foreseeable future. Told me Rouge was the best performer out there, across all head styles. Note that he did work selling Callaways in the NYC/LI market before coming upstate, but said he could blow my current driver out of the water so I'm excited to see. 3 Quote In a Hoofer Lite bag ST180, 10.5, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S Epic Flash Sub Zero, 15*, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S CBX119 18* Hybrid, Project X Evenflow Blue, 6.0 JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro 4-P, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex Hi Toe Raw 48* (bent from 50*), 53* (bent from 54*), and 58*, Nippon 950GH Stiff Flex SIK Golf Flo-C Z-Star XV Divide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juspoole 3,326 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I've hit a couple of the Callaway Rogue ST's and have liked the looks and results have been pretty good. I have a full demo with a Callaway fitter next week that I am looking forward to. I think this one could go in the bag although I'm curious to give the Cobra a try. Also, I want to confirm that the dispersion and distance gains are large enough to justify. I may wait until fall until the new Titleist comes out. Just not sure yet. 2 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL85 668 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Well... that felt like a waste of time. I went to try the clubs today at a local course near my office and hit a little bit of everything. I ended up hitting the Rogue ST Max driver and hybrids well enough, along with the standard Apex irons. Of everything I hit, the Rogue ST Max driver felt the best and seemed to tighten dispersion a little bit compared to my current club based on the ball flight. I do have to make a small rant though. If Callaway and the course want me to get fitted and purchase new clubs from the course, then I suggest that a course employee doesn't take up the one launch monitor for the entirety of my scheduled fitting. I was basically just left randomly swapping shafts and heads to try things without seeing any real numbers. It was fun to hit some new stuff, it was nice to get out of the office for an hour, but none of those clubs are going in my bag based off this experience.

Also, I want to confirm that the dispersion and distance gains are large enough to justify. I may wait until fall until the new Titleist comes out. Just not sure yet. I went to a Callaway Rep fitting at my local course. They recently installed Full Swing golf Simulators so we were able to use those. I compared directly against my Mavrik SZ and I have to say I was let down by the results. I'm not sure what I expected to be honest. I should be happy that I have a great driver that fits me well currently. I was swinging the driver well, so my launch characteristics were good with my current and the new drivers. I noticed about 2mph more average ball speed with the Rogue ST Max LS, but carry, total yardage, and spin were all the same, if not a little better with my gamer. My longest drives were with my current driver. If I'm thinking back, maybe mis-hits had some discrepancy, but nothing that I would take away and think I need to spend that type of money on this driver. I think there are a lot of good drivers out this year and I just enjoy trying the new equipment so I'll likely try some of the others, but I think MGS has it right when they say you won't find major differences in driver for 3-5 years. 1 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ole gray 17,766 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 A friend of mine recently picked up the new Rogue Max LS and I saw first hand today how much it improved his tee shots. Impressive to say the least. I loved the sound of the driver and he was hitting it much better than several other drivers he's gamed over the last couple of years. Yea he's a bonafide driver ho. Looks like his ho ing days might finally hit a speed bump. 4 Quote Cleveland Launcher XL 10.5 Driver Cleveland Launcher xl halo hy-wood 18 Degree Cleveland Launcher XL Halo 7- wood Cleveland Launcher XL Irons 5 - PW Cleveland CBX 2 50 & 54 Degree Wedge Cleveland CBX Full-Face Wedge 58 degree Cleveland Huntington Beach SOFT Premier 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlow206 10,738 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I basically fit into any Callaway LS, well, at least last year the Epic Max LS and this year the Rogue ST Max LS. Both of these were from OEM-agnostic fittings. I just get a long with them. Naturally I have a Rogue ST Max LS on the way even though the Epic Max LS has continued to perform well for me. 5 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 11/13/2021 Driver: TSi 2 - Autoflex Fairway Woods: TSi2 3 wood, 5 wood - Aldila Ascent 60 S Irons: T300 5 to SW - LAGP AXS Red 85 Stiff double soft stepped Wedges: K-grind 2.0 58 wedge - Xcaliber RT Spin Wedge 100 Putter: SIK DW Armlock - LAGP 180 armlock shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyMatt89 901 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 16 minutes ago, Steven Wooldridge said: Any tangible results yet? Definitely. I should have reported back earlier. I was playing it at first with a tensei pro white 70tx until my AXS blue had the tip changed. My dispersion has shrunk since I started using it and I am placing myself in a lot of great places to score. If only my short game was on. Either way, once I put the AXS blue back in, holy cow the driver came alive. This past weekend I had multiple drives over 320 with hitting 12/14 fairways. The ones I missed, I still had serviceable shots just more of a me issue than the club. All my playing partners tell me don’t take that out of the bag and they have seen me play a lot of different drivers haha. They see what I’m seeing is my misses are better and I’m giving myself the ability to score when the rest of my game is working. 3 1 Quote Driver: Rogue ST 9 Ventus Black 6TX Fairway: TSi2 16.5 Accra RPZ Tour 472 M5+ Hybrid: G410 23 Ventus Blue 10X Irons: Apex TCB 5-AW Modus 130X T100 4 iron Modus 130X Wedges: SM8 54.12, 60.08 Modus 125 Wedge/60.10 LAGP L Series 120 Wedge Putter: Lajosi DD201 Pro V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
