Callaway Rogue ST Max OS

Rogue ST Max OS took the crown of 2022 Most Wanted Super Game-Improvement Iron + placed 1st overall in this test. Very forgiving + stability in mis-hit areas is superb. Larger sweet spot and greater forgiveness on off-center hits through the combination of wide soles, enhanced offset, and precise tungsten weighting. High strength 450 AI cup faces capable of flexing nearly as much as a titanium driver face (0.825 COR). 4.9/5 (98% recommended) Callaway store rating + 2022 Golf Digest Hot List Gold. Top-tier forgiveness — #1 in 2022 MGS SGI Lab Test, the most authoritative SGI ranking of its year.

Ball speed potential within 1 mph of the standard Rogue ST Max for the short and mid irons. 28.5° 7-iron loft (1° weaker than standard Max 27.5°) — trades a bit of carry for stopping power. Same 450 A.I. Flash Face Cup tech as standard Max for class-leading ball speed. Sacrifices some carry distance but improves stopping power vs standard Max. Shares 62g tungsten heritage and hollow-body construction with standard Max. Above-average distance for SGI category — matches standard Rogue ST Max ball speed within 1mph in short/mid irons.

Wide soles, enhanced offset + longer blade length than standard Max. OS stands for oversize + explicit SGI/mid-high HCP target. SGI design with thinner topline than standard Max (acoustic) but bigger overall profile. 28.5° 7-iron + tungsten low CG + high launch + enhanced offset. Below-average workability — explicit SGI oversize design with longer blade + enhanced offset + wide sole + tungsten low CG = high-launch straight-flight bias.

Impact feel is solid, pure and hot + a hair more clicky than standard Max. Urethane microspheres pushed further up the face (up to the 6th groove) to enhance sound and deliver pure feel while maintaining fast ball speeds. Callaway Rogue ST irons sound and feel outstanding at impact — line-wide character. 450 steel face + urethane microspheres + tungsten weighting damp through the cavity. Above-average feel — solid pure hot impact via urethane microspheres pushed to 6th groove + tungsten damping.

Nice swoosh that is quite muted and is not too low or high-pitched. Urethane microspheres enhance sound. Fine-tunes sound for a pleasing result every time — Rogue ST line acoustic character. Above-average sound — quite muted swoosh acoustic with balanced pitch (not too low or high). Quieter and more refined than standard Rogue ST Max's piercing click.

OS stands for oversize + longer blade length than standard Max. Topline is considerably thinner than standard Max + enhanced offset. SGI category silhouette with mixed cues (thinner topline good, bigger profile + offset less good). Chrome finish + traditional Rogue ST cosmetic family. Below-average looks for category — SGI oversize shape with longer blade + enhanced offset is appropriate for the target buyer; the thinner topline is a positive surprise for SGI but the overall profile is visibly bigger than the standard Rogue ST Max.
