What some may not realize, Callaway has been consistently at the top of the game in terms of sales when it comes to both hybrids and irons, and the Rogue/Mavrik release cycle has always been a significant reason for that. However, as is the case with the drivers and fairway releases of the Rogue line today, don’t make the mistake of thinking this is any kind of filler release, this has all the technology and then some which Callaway possesses.
Speed is the name of the game here, though there are some twists which are sure to surprise.
This is what Callaway is calling their fastest family of hybrids yet, and it’s done with some very cool internal technology.

First, each model is using the new Jailbreak ST which is entirely different than that used in the Rogue drivers or fairways. As the hybrids have unique shapes, A.I. showed that so too should the Jailbreak applied. These clubs actually have two jailbreak speedframes pushed to the far perimeter of the heel and toe versus being located in the middle. This was done because Callaway found it would maintain the vertical stiffness they desire, but also stay away from the Face Cup to let it flex more, which means more speed while keeping stability.
All of the hybrids in the line also have up to 18g of MIM’d tungsten, of which there was none in the Mavrik hybrids previously. This has actually been placed internally because it is towards the toe and externally might draw some question and preconceptions, when in reality, it is there because that counterbalances the elongated hosels of the hybrid to keep things in balance.

Finally, all three models have unique A.I. face optimization with the new 455 high strength Face Cup. But not only that, every loft has a unique A.I. face making for thirteen totally one-of-a-kind faces through the three hybrid designs. These are created to optimize spin robustness (how much spin is maintained) and have done such via Callaway’s testing about 130 RPM’s and a whopping 1.5° of launch.
Best yet? All three options, well, technically four, do independently unique things.

Callaway Rogue ST MAX Hybrid
This is the longest of the hybrid options, it has slightly stronger lofts and will fit the golfer who is looking for speed, forgiveness, and all around performance. The ST MAX does have the squared off toe and lower leading edge which many have become accustomed to from Callaway, and it also has a more iron like face groove design as well.
The ST MAX will be available in 3H-6H (18°, 20°, 23°, 26°) loft options.
Callaway Rogue ST MAX OS and MAX OS LITE Hybrids
Want maximum forgiveness in your hybrid? Then this is your ticket as the MAX OS has the largest shape of the three with the most mass moves to maximize launch while offering tremendous speed and playability. There are also the most loft options here, along with the most draw bias.

This is also why I mentioned there being four options, as Callaway is offering the OS version of the new Rogue hybrids in two different types with the LITE version being higher lofted and lighter weighted for women and amateurs who could benefit from such.
Both the Max OS and Max OS Lite come in 3H-8H (OS – 19°, 21°, 24°, 27°, 30°, 33°, and LITE – 21°, 24°, 27°, 30°, 33°, 36°).

Callaway Rogue ST PRO Hybrid
Finally, there is the Pro. Obviously, this is the most neutral CG of the line, and it is meant to offer more workability as well as fighting against the dreaded left miss (for righties) of better players with hybrids. The Pro also has a more fairway wood shape to it with a rounded face absent any square toe and a significant amount of camber on the sole for turf interaction a lot of better players look for in a hybrid.
The Pro will be available in 2H-4H (18°, 20°, 23°) options.
Why of course there are irons! In fact, right in line with the hybrids there are three (technically four with the LITE) different options which Callaway thinks they allowed them to hit all ranges of golfers. The irons are “Speed Tuned” and are one of the most advanced Callaway has created.

That claim starts with the industries first 450 A.I. Face Cup. This is not a new material to irons, but it is new to the Face Cup application, and its strength means even more speed and speed consistency is now possible for Callaway. Similar to the hybrids, every single face in every single set here is totally unique thanks to the A.I. design supercomputer, meaning every club is optimized for the specific way most amateurs use it (and miss with it too). This new material in the Face Cup has also allowed more spin, speed, launch, and a 13.2% tighter dispersion, not to mention Callaway is actually weakening the lofts in the longer irons because of what is has done.
Additionally, there is a lot of Precision Tungsten Weighting in each of the models with up to 62g in a single head, and 250% more overall than was used in the Mavrik irons. That is a lot of tungsten, and yes that matters a lot in club design. This added weight means more precise placement is an option which helps optimize every single iron.

Finally, the witchcraft which are Callaway’s patented Urethan Microspheres are not only here, but there are more of them than ever before as the company worked to make sure they reach higher up the face (6th groove versus 3rd/4th previously). Because of the way they deform with no resistance, the face still gets maximum flexion while keeping the dampening which makes them sound/feel good.
Rogue ST Max Iron Rogue ST Max Iron
Callaway Rogue ST MAX Irons
These are the “core” model of the three sets, and Callaway is calling them their longest ever despite actually making the lofts weaker than the Mavrik irons in the longer irons. These offer that in-between realm of offset, topline, and sole width which will work for the biggest segment of golfers. These look like a Callaway iron, through and through.
The ST MAX irons will be available 4-PW, A, G, and S.
Rogue ST Max OS Iron Rogue ST Max OS Iron
Callaway Rogue ST MAX OS and OS LITE Irons
The biggest and burliest of the offerings, the OS and OS LITE are also the most forgiving with the widest soles, enhanced offset, and overall profile that will help golfers who need launch and playability. These are aimed at the mid to high handicap golfer and the OS LITE option is a lighter swing weighted version that also has 3° more loft through the set to further maximize launch for golfers who need it.
Set makeup for the MAX OS is 4-P, A, G, S and 4-P, A, S in the MAX OS LITE.
Rogue ST Max Pro Iron Rogue ST Max Pro Iron
Callaway Rogue ST PRO Irons
Finally, the Pro, and this is a Pro which actually looks as such. This one is sure to turn heads as it looks very similar to the Apex Pro and is likewise a hollow body design with all the bells and whistles packed into a tidy little package. This is a players shape with stronger lofts offering more workability but still a maximization of distance. For those curious, it isn’t as forgiving as the Apex, but it is stronger lofted than the Apex Pro, sitting it right in the middle.
The Pro’s will come in a 4-PW, A option for set orientation.

Yesterday we played in a benefit for a neighboring fire department and they had a dummy sitting 200 yards out right where the dogleg left starts. Closest to the dummy won a cooler full of beer. I decided the 4 iron was up for the task and I literally hit a dart that bounced just past the dummies head. So I didn’t win the beer but I left myself a pretty awesome second shot that…. 220 yard 3 wood that bounced up onto the green. Can’t tell you the last time I hit that green in two….not sure I missed the eagle putt (about 20 feet) but I got the birdie.
It’s just such a fun weapon to have in the bag. Been totally happy with the Apex DCB’s but these Max Irons have me salivating and wondering a bit.
I really need to spend more time with the hybrid. You are about the 10th person that have told me its the best ever and I think upon my return from the GOAT Cup, I will give it a shot.
I had a good 9 tonight and had a couple great shots with the ST Max OS 3 Hybrid one resulting in a Birdie. I chose the OS with some specific holes at my course in mind where i wanted a specific distance and i wanted to hit it straight and take trouble out of play. Im a 12 and should be in the single digits but not a bad ball striker. A guy i play with is a two and wanted to try it, hit it and liked it a lot. Not sure how much of a difference the standard is but for a 3 hybrid i think people may overlook it as just a game improvement club but i really think it is more than that.
I build a set up in 6-P/A/G with 85g reg flex MMT. Quite a bit different than my 5-A Rogue ST Pro with 6.0 PX LZ build. But with my injury and weakness, I needed something more forgiving, where I could regain some distance lost due to swing speed, and have less abrasion using lighter graphite shafts.
for reference, my swing speed prior to my strokes with a 7 iron was 88-90mph. Right now I’m topping out around 75-76 mph.
Distance wise, I feel relatively even club-for-club with my Pro setup to the Max setup. By that, I mean I’m getting the same distances I would roughly expect with my Pros out of this Max build. Given the Max is 3* stronger at the 7 iron, I’m not too too surprised.
They do feel a bit chunkier at impact though, and not quite as soft. Coming from Apex last year with the forged feel, into the Rogue ST Pro this year with the urethane microspheres, I’ve been used to the softer feels.
The trade off though is that these Max irons perform incredibly. I’m hitting mid-trajectory balls that just want to go right at greens.
I think I hit more greens this past week at the GD Reunion in Myrtle than I can remember in most other rounds this year.
You are a human highlight reel with these things. @xThor stripe show with the Max irons is a sight to behold.
I love this so much. ?
I need to go read the other thread in detail on this!

Isn’t it funny how quickly we can get things in budget when we really want them
Well once they hit cpo it was game on. 400 bucks less than retail
Awesome shot!
This.. the Rogue Pro 3 hybrid has produced shots for me on course between 220-237 (using Arccos). That was 3 wood territory for me previously
it’s hard to find much fault in them. The ball just launches off the face, great height and spin, forgiving as can be. The only thing I’m not completely sold on is the feel. Things just feel a bit toe-y. It’s not a bad feeling at all, but I’ve been spoiled with forged heads, and there is a difference between these and Apex in that regard.
But where these make up is just point and shoot play. For the price point, these irons have been impressive and enjoyable.
Some great head to head comparisons here from Wunder.
they are soooo good
I have never been a hybrid player. I carried a MP 33 2 iron until 2019. Was that club versatile? Haha, that would be a strong NO. It was my fairway finder and wind beater, and I eventually replaced it with a Titleist U500 3 iron for some extra forgiveness without sacrificing distance, but it was somewhat redundant because I used my 3 wood as my fairway finder on tighter holes. What I needed was a club for 2nd shots on long par 5s, and I ended up with a Rogue ST Pro 3 hybrid.
This club has vastly exceeded my expectations. I was skeptical at first because of my past experience with hybrids. This hybrid is painfully easy to hit. If I need to hit a ball 250-260 to find a fairway, it feels like I can place it on whatever third of the fairway I want. That is STUPID levels of confidence. I know that I am going to have a good chance of putting on my next shot when I hit it into a green on a par 5. It is so good. Unlike previous hybrids, I don’t miss it left or struggle with overdrawing shots. The sound is phenomenal, which is consistent across the entire Rogue ST line. You know when you hit a good shot, and I could listen to that all day because it is so pleasing. The matte crown is a winner, and I hope will stick around for the foreseeable future. I like that Callaway didn’t try to add the gold accent around the back edge because it would’ve made the head way too busy. Like the fairway wood, the chevron is a perfect alignment aid. The one thing I noticed about the profile that I wasn’t sure I would like is that it almost seemed to have a reverse C top line (if that makes sense). It’s not a straight topline like the Apex UW, which is what I thought I’d prefer. I went into the Grandaddy thinking I’d end up with the 21° UW, but I really wanted to try the Rogue ST Pro first to give it a fair chance. It won me over almost immediately. I still remember the look @JasonFinleyCG gave me after I hit my last shot of the fitting.
This club has a ton of versatility on the course and is so forgiving. I can hit if off the tee and get it to run out without problems or I can hit it high with plenty of stopping power into a green. It’s incredibly easy to shape right to left or left to right and doesn’t seem to favor one way or the other. It just does what you want it to do. It actually got me looking into a club for the 230 yard par 3s, and I REALLY wanted to get the Rogue ST Pro 4 hybrid, but I thought it would go too far. I ended up with the Apex Pro 5h hybrid with a Ventus Black 10TX (+1/2"), which has been pretty good, but I’m super curious to see how the Rogue ST Pro 4h would work if I took that Ventus Black and went a little shorter instead? I’m wondering if I may end up with a 2nd Rogue ST Pro from CPO over the winter… I’m sure this experiment will be documented in a separate thread lol
You can hit them tomorrow ?
