Callaway Rogue ST Joins AFGolfStore

Callaway Rogue ST max LS

Callaway say its there fastest, most stable driver ever! The Rogue ST hits out shelves at AFGolfStore across all three sites on March 4th 2022.

There slogan is Think Speed, Go Rogue:

The new Rogue ST Drivers represent a breakthrough in driver performance. Callaway’s industry-leading innovations, including our Tungsten Speed Cartridge, Jailbreak Speed Frame, and an A.I. designed Flash Face are engineered for maximum speed with exceptional levels of forgiveness.”  ~ Callaway Golf

The new driver comes in four models to ensure there is a driver for every golfer:

MAX D – A dedicated draw model for players who need the most shot shape correction.

MAX – Our best combination of distance and forgiveness to fit the majority of players.

MAX LS –  Stronger trajectory, lower spin and more neutral ball flight compared to Rogue ST MAX.

TRIPLE DIAMOND LS – A tour proven compact, low spin head with a neutral-to-fade bias for better players.

 

Three key areas of improvement feature in the Rogue ST:

Tungsten Speed Cartridge – Increased speed, stability and forgiveness.

AFGolfStore Rogue ST

JAILBREAK A.I Speed Frame – Offering stability and speed.

AFGolfStore Rogue ST

A.I Designed Face – Increased forgiveness and lower spin.

AFGolfStore Rogue ST

Upon testing the product on its launch in January we found it to be a very solid, compact feel with incredible forgiveness. Ball speeds were as promised, an improvement on the previous Rogue model and certainly an advanced feel on Mavrik and Epic. We love the way it frames the golf ball, which does vary slightly dependant on the head you go for.

We have found it to be extremely popular in fittings already this year due to its wide range of models. In particular the better player seeing huge gains with the triple diamond ls. Our opinion is if you know you want to try Rogue ST this season, then ensure you try all four models out to find the right match for you.

We are certain you will enjoy hitting this driver and look forward to seeing how it performs this season.

Try it for yourself in a FREE fitting. Our three stores offer a FREE fitting service 7 days a week:

  • Cambridge – KINGSWAY GOLF CENTRE
  • Milton Keynes – 9 Peverel Drive, Bletchley
  • Peterborough – Eagle Business Park, Yaxley

AFGolfStore Milton Keynes FREE club fitting

Located in Bletchley, we are 200 yards across from Stadium MK in the Granby industrial park. Our indoor unit gives us the space to layout a spacious swing room, home to our Trackman system, which is used in every custom fitting and coaching session alongside our resident PGA Professional team.

Trackman is a tour preferred radar giving immediate feedback with ball and strike characteristics, making it very easy for us to identify your specifications, strengths and weaknesses allowing us to make swing changes or select the perfect new clubs for you.

Across from the swing room, you can find our putting green, with the same purpose, to improve your putting in a lesson or to identify the right putter in a fitting session with the use of SAM Putt Lab (the putting equivalent of Trackman).

Our fitting sessions are completely FREE as we believe all customers need to know their specifications to avoid getting the wrong clubs, which sadly happens all to often. Your expert fitter will work towards your needs, whether it be just a driver or the whole bag, stress testing a range of models to ensure we see performance gains with consistency. We have an unbiased approach to fitting so we can open your mind up to a range of models that give you the best results, not just your favourite brand!

We fit with and stock the leading brands in golf equipment including:

If you find clubs that work for you, depending on the brand and model, there may be the opportunity to skip the wait on your clubs being ordered and delivered, and instead guarantee them faster and built by us in our AFGolf Build Centre, located in our Peterborough store.

However, if new clubs isn’t your reason for visiting us, you will be excited to see our huge retail area offering your favourite brands in apparel, shoes, hardware and accessories.

Why Is Our Custom Fitting Service FREE At AFGolfStore

CUSTOM FITTING - CAMBRIDGE

At AFGolfStore we offer a range of services that we believe will help all golfers play their best. Golf lessons, honest advice and support, a wide retail selection fulfilling the needs of every golfer and of course our free custom fitting service.

The latter is a huge part of who we are, it helps our staff engage with customers and really become a part of their journey to better golf. In this blog we are going to explain why we don’t charge for our custom fit service.

CUSTOM FITTING PETERBOROUGH

Our custom fitting service is available over all of our sites and we strive to ensure our service in each store. Our fitting rooms come equipped with the following:

 

  • Trackman4 – The tour choice in radars when identifying key data from club and ball. Trackman helps us understand our customers specifications when looking to make technical changes or become equipped with new clubs.
  • A huge range of club choices and models. With access to all the leading brands and models in our studios, you will have no problem finding the right club for you.
  • Extensive choice in shaft and grips.
  • Indoor putting green with SAM PuttLab. A similar concept in Trackman for putting.
  • Most importantly, a friendly, honest member of our staff.

 

We take you on a journey to help you find the right clubs in an unbiased, honest manner. With so many in the industry charging for such a service with access to great technology, why don’t we charge?

We have 5 key reasons why we offer this service for FREE, all centred around our beliefs that everyone needs to be fitted when looking to get new clubs.

 

  1. KNOW YOUR SPEC! We cannot stress enough that everyone is different, from size to how you swing a club, so how can anyone be certain a set of clubs straight off the rack is correct for them? In some cases, they may well be correct, but we can only be sure by getting to know your swing characteristics and ensuring we know what clubs suit your game.
  2. RELATIONSHIP! It is important to our staff that we build a relationship with our customers. Buying a set of clubs is a big decision and we want to give our customers peace of mind that they have a contact point should they need advice or further information. Getting to know our customers allows us to ensure they are getting the equipment that will have performance gains in their game.
  3. TRUST! By giving unbiased, honest feedback we believe we can gain trust from our customers reassuring them that we are in this journey together and want you to have the right clubs.
  4. EDUCATION! Having a FREE service will encourage more people to take it. This gives us the chance to educate our customers and help them understand the game better. This is a huge factor when getting clubs, you must know what you’re purchasing.
  5. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION! We know that by having a fitting you will get the clubs perfect for your game. This will give our customers so much more satisfaction than gambling on a new set of clubs when coming to our stores.

Contact AFGolf Store Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Peterborough

So, if you are thinking of getting new clubs, but unsure where to begin, talk to us and get a FREE fitting. They are available 7 days a week with no obligation. However, we promise to give you a great experience that will educate you and leave you satisfied that you’ve found the right equipment to further your game.

Improve Your Impact Position

Improve your impact position with the help of AFGolfStore lead groups coach, Bruce Whitehead.

The Importance Of Impact

Bruce quotes PGA Tour Professional, Jim Furyk when explaining the importance of the impact position; “A good impact position makes up for any amount of supposed swing errors on the backswing and downswing” – Jim Furyk

Every golfer we teach is different in size, strength, ability and so on. So naturally the way we swing a golf club will differ, however if you look at the best players in the world, although their swings all look very different, their impact positions all share common similarities, hence why they all share similar outcomes and results.

 

 

This week when coaching our learner ladies group class at Kingsway Golf Centre in Cambridge, we focused on how to improve impact, which led to this tip. A common fault at impact, particularly in new golfers, is to help the ball in the air by scooping the ball upwards. At impact this will be evident with the hands closer to the back leg (right leg in a right hander) whilst the club head is already past the lead leg.

In this image you can see how the players hands are ahead of the club head through impact, creating a powerful strike position. This was achieved in 3 steps and thus here is your tip.

Tip Of The Week: Improve Your Impact

  1. Without taking a backswing and using a bag (golf smash bag) as seen on the left side, press the club head into the bag and push the hands to the left. This is a feel drill and will help you understand where you want to feel at impact.
  2. Now repeat step one, only this time we will be taking a swing and hitting the bag. The acceleration will press the hands forward at impact.
  3. Now lose the bag and try with the ball! Remember to focus on the feeling of hands ahead at impact!

For more help and support, we run a weekly ladies and beginners group class, with multiple options. The first lesson is FREE so you can gain some support from Bruce and see how you get on before committing. You can check out more information here:

How Can Lie Angle Improve Your Shots

These blogs will break down specific areas of the fit process and educate you further into the world of custom fitting. Today we begin with lie angle and how it can improve your shots.

What is lie angle?

Lie angle is defined as the angle between the shaft and the ground line when the club is measured in normal playing position with the centre of the club is touching the ground line.

The most important thing about measuring lie angle is how the club is interacting with the ground at impact. The angle of the club when you address the ball is not necessarily important.

Two areas to look out for when not fitted correctly:

  • Club too upright. This occurs when the toe of the club doesn’t make contact with the ground at impact.
  • Club too flat. This occurs when the heel of the club doesn’t make contact with the ground at impact.

 

 

With an upright club the ball will tend to start left and when too flat the ball will start right. We will be able to identify this with strike tape on the club face and sole of the club, getting the player to hit shots and see where the strike marks are located. From here we can begin to make the necessary changes to the club set up, adjusting the lie of the club to create a straighter start line and more consistent shot outcome.

Factors to consider are the loft and club selection as well as the branding, as most brand specifications vary, another reason why custom fitting is so important when buying new clubs. The following video will go into more detail on the importance of lie angle. BOOK A FREE CUSTOM FITTING HERE
