Rogue ST Max

GI-class head with new perimeter-braced 'batwing' Jailbreak bracing plus 27g forward tungsten cartridge — weight retained in the rear of the head maintains a reasonable amount of forgiveness alongside the speed gains. Independent testing notes the head creates a ton of ball speed across the face — wide effective MOI sweet zone. Editorial TrackMan testing called it an unexpected contender for the best all-round performer when testing 2022 releases, and more accurate than a peer flagship. Strong GI-class forgiveness profile that outperformed peer 2022 GI fairways.

Independent TrackMan testing produced 152.7 mph ball speed (the highest of any club on test), smash factor 1.48, total average distance 247.3 yards. Editorial coverage notes the standard head as an unexpected contender for the best all-round performer when testing 2022 releases. The 27g forward tungsten cartridge — first use in a brand fairway — pushes CG low and forward for lower spin and higher ball speed. AI-designed Flash Face plus perimeter Jailbreak bracing engineered as the brand's fastest-ever fairway. Top of the GI fairway distance class for the era.

Mid launch, low spin with a draw bias. Independent reviewer notes the main consideration for some users is the draw bias — the head imposes a left-leaning shape that limits fade-on-demand workability. Editorial corpus consensus: GI head designed for forgiveness, not shape control. CG is low and forward but rearward perimeter weight is neutral-to-draw, not configurable. Below-average workability — buyers should pick a different sibling if they want a different shape bias.

Reviewer commentary: on pure feel, the ball does seem to come off with a lot of energy transfer and punch to it. Editorial review notes a solid feel for an overall experience that's more akin to a players club than a game-improvement club. Additional reviewer describes a punchy, energized impact sensation. Tour-grade impact feedback through a GI-class head — better than the typical GI feel signature of the era.

Reviewer commentary describes a deeper sound, a muted hit, compared to the metallic ting of the prior generation — like a muted whip crack with a drawn-out sizzle after the initial pop. Editorial review: quiet, but it effectively conveys how hot this face is — a muted, understated sound that gives you a sensation of ball speed without screaming it. AI-optimized sound profile across the family is a material acoustic upgrade versus the predecessor.

Mid-size GI head with classic pear-shape silhouette, sleek matte black crown, no aggressive aero graphics. Reviewer commentary notes the address profile sits between the compact and oversized siblings. Editorial review describes a clean, confidence-inspiring look that frames the ball nicely for GI players. Premium presentation appropriate to the gold-medal industry-awards positioning.
