Tour Fairway Wood

The Rogue ST Max LS is the low-spin driver in Callaway's 2022 Rogue ST family, built for players who put too much spin on the ball with a standard head. LS means low spin, and that tells you almost everything about who it's for. If your drives balloon, climb, and fall out of the sky short of where they should land, this is the head that flattens that flight and gets the ball running.

What makes the 2022 version different from older low-spin Callaway drivers is that it doesn't punish you for the privilege. Low-spin heads used to be small, unforgiving, and reserved for tour pros who never miss the center. Callaway loaded this one with a heavy tungsten weight deep and low in the head, which keeps the forgiveness respectable even though the center of gravity sits forward for less spin. You still want to find the middle of the face, but a slight miss won't leave you scrambling the way a true tour head would.

This is a fast-swing, low-spin tool, not a game-improvement driver wearing a costume. If you already hit it long and just need to control launch and spin, it fits. If you're fighting a slice or need every bit of help getting the ball airborne, the standard Rogue ST Max is the better call.

• Faster swingers who generate too much backspin and watch their drives climb and stall out.
• Better players who consistently find the center of the face and want a flatter, more workable ball flight.
• Anyone stepping up from an older low-spin driver who wants the same controlled spin with far more forgiveness on mishits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Rogue ST Max and the Max LS?

The standard Max is the higher-launching, more forgiving head aimed at the widest range of golfers. The Max LS spins less and launches lower thanks to a more forward center of gravity, which suits faster swing speeds and players who deliver too much spin. If you're not sure, the plain Max is the safer default. Choose the LS when spin is your actual problem.

Is the Rogue ST Max LS too much driver for a mid-handicapper?

It can be, depending on how you swing it. The LS rewards center strikes and enough clubhead speed to launch a lower-spinning head. If your speed is moderate or your contact is inconsistent, you'll likely lose distance because the ball won't launch high enough. Mid-handicappers with fast, repeatable swings can absolutely play it, but many are better served by the standard Max.

How adjustable is the Rogue ST Max LS?

Plenty. The OptiFit hosel adjusts loft and lie so you can raise or lower launch and add a draw or fade bias. On top of that, there are front and back weight positions that let you shift mass to tune spin and stability. Forward weighting gives the lowest, most penetrating flight; moving it back adds forgiveness.

What lofts does the Rogue ST Max LS come in?

It's offered in 9 and 10.5 degree heads, and the adjustable hosel lets you move roughly two degrees in either direction from there. Most low-spin players start at 9 degrees, but if your launch runs low or your speed is on the lower end for this head, the 10.5 with the hosel dialed up is worth trying on a launch monitor.

Will the Rogue ST Max LS help me hit it straighter?

It'll help you control spin and flight, but it's not built as a slice-fixer. The Max LS has a neutral to slightly workable bias, which means it lets you shape shots rather than automatically pulling the ball back to center. If straightening out a slice is the goal, the Rogue ST Max or Max D with more draw bias will do more for you.
