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.

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

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

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.

20 years of development marks the end of the titanium era. TaylorMade have now launched the new Stealth driver, equipped with the all new 60x Carbon Twist Face. A big change since last year’s SIM2 driver.

afgolfstore taylormade stealth driver

Noticeable with the stand-out red face, the new driver is 44% lighter than the equivalent titanium face, whilst also being 11% larger than the SIM2 and SIM2 Max. The face is made up of 60 layers of carbon fiber, which have been strategically designed to optimize energy transfer to deliver fast ball speeds over a large area, resulting in optimal distance and forgiveness. ~ TaylorMade.

What Are The Key Benefits?

  • 60x Carbon Twist Face | Creating more efficiency, increased ball speed and more forgiveness.
  • In the core Stealth driver, the weight has moved as a result of the new material weight loss. Moving lower and further back in the club. The centre of gravity has therefore changed, increasing the MOI by 15% in comparison to the Stealth Plus.
  • TaylorMade’s most flexible Speed Pocket design engineered to maximise ball speeds and produce additional forgiveness with low face strikes.

The Stealth comes in 3 different heads:

  • STEALTH | The core driver offering most forgiveness
  • STEALTH PLUS |  The Plus+ has moveable weights. 10g sliding weights, designed to help golfers control shot shape by shifting mass on the sole to create the desired ball flight.
  • STEALTH HD | HD standing for high draw. Due to the carbon twist, TaylorMade have created the highest MOI in the stealth family of drivers in the HD to promote a draw bias, right to left ball flight.

OUR VERDICT

AFGolf Store’s Jack Yetton, tested the product, focusing on the STEALTH driver. We did a straight comparison on the SIM2 with the results showing a ball speed increase of 3mph on average with an average of 10 yards distance gain. This was to be expected due to the efficiency of the carbon.

Here is what Jack had to say:

“It feels great and I love the results. There is clear forgiveness when I don’t catch it in the middle. What I enjoy is the traditional sound of titanium even though it is a carbon face. Overall a club I would feel confident in hitting under pressure.“
