Watch
Rated highest for distance and feel; its softest dimension is forgiveness.
You're a faster-swinging, better player who wants one of the longest, lowest-spinning, fade-capable fairways of 2022 in a compact, deep-faced head - yet with surprising forgiveness.
You need maximum forgiveness or a draw bias (the Rogue ST Max or Max D), easy launch, or genuinely tour-low spin (the LS spins more than its name suggests).
Pros
- One of the longest fairway woods of 2022 - ~151 mph ball speed and ~251-yard carry, tied with the TaylorMade Stealth Plus
- Surprisingly forgiving for a compact, low-spin head - jailbreak batwings and tight dispersion (2nd-smallest on test, 3rd-best at protecting ball speed)
- A compact, deep-faced, fade-capable shape with a 28g forward tungsten cartridge for the lowest spin in the Rogue ST line
- The only Rogue ST fairway with an external, removable weight for some adjustability
Cons
- Labelled 'low spin', but it actually produces only marginally less spin than the Rogue ST Max - and more than the Epic Speed
- Less forgiving than the Rogue ST Max (rated 'High' vs 'Highest') - better players only
- No adjustable hosel - just the single removable sole weight
By dimension
Forgiveness
SolidSurprisingly forgiving for a compact LS - it is surprisingly forgiving for such a compact, low-spin head, the titanium cup face and jailbreak batwings holding ball speed on misses, ranking 3rd-best at protecting ball speed into the 2nd-smallest dispersion area on test, its forgiveness rated High versus the Max's Highest. Strong for a better-player head, if short of the Max.
Distance
StrongOne of the longest of 2022 - ~151 mph ball speed, among the fastest on test, and ~251-yard carry, tied with the TaylorMade Stealth Plus for one of the longest fairways of 2022, among the top ClubTest performers. Elite, low-spin distance.
Workability
SolidThe most fade-capable Rogue ST - a 28g forward tungsten cartridge and a forward weight screw give a low, forward, neutral CG, making it the lowest-spinning, most fade-capable Rogue ST fairway, the only one without a draw bias. A genuinely workable better-player head.
Feel
StrongFast and solid - a powerful, lively strike off the deep titanium cup face, a solid, energetic feel. A hot, premium sensation befitting the LS's speed.
Sound
SolidMetallic but controlled - a fast, metallic note off the cup face, a sharper acoustic typical of a low-spin titanium fairway. A more controlled sound than the louder Epic, if still firmly metallic.
Looks at address
StrongCompact and clean - a compact, deep-faced footprint suited to better players, a clean, understated shape with a carbon crown. A confidence-inspiring better-player look.
