These appear to be an upgrade to last year's.
Will be interesting to see how they can improve upon the Apex. I'm not gaming mine at the moment but they have probably seen more action then anything else I've owned over the last 24 months. Such a solid iron that fits a lot of different golfers.
Looks like the X-Forged irons are live on the Callaway site now with a 10/20 release date.

The X-Forged page is gone but I’m sure will be back by Thursday. Can’t wait to hit these. May get to hold over for CF18 next summer. From what I’m hearing from folks that have hit these they are more forgiving and have an extremely soft feel. No cupface so I would imagine a bit of distance loss over the CF16. I’ll have to hit them first, but this is the 1st offering since the CF16 that has even begun to peak my interest.

F-ck Yeah Baby!
Fairway and hybrids with jailbreak tech? I am super intrigued. As for the Rogue driver, it only makes sense for them to insert Jailbreak tech with the success the Epic has had. Can't wait to give these a try.
I'm interested in the fairways. If the rumors are true about the gains with these across all levels then it's a no brainer to have them in the bag

I hope that is true - I'm a 3 FW's and 1 Hybrid in the bag kind of guy.
Yeah the chatter around the FWs is very much like what people were saying about the Epic last year. Regardless of what happens in December, these are on my radar for sure. No brainer indeed!
As far as driver goes, I'm really hoping for something more XR16-ish. If they manage to add jailbreak or whatever to make it better, more power to them. Can't wait to hear more and get some cuts with all the new gear.

Latest rumour that I've heard is that they'll be shown at the PGA show but wont be released until May/June 2018. Now, the source is reliable, but it's still early yet. Does make sense though given the X-Forged release.
I've done some digging and asked a few friends who have seen the product (no pics released yet as per the embargo) and from what I have been told:
1. Epic will continue as the flagship driver
2. Rogue will be replacing the XR line with a similar color scheme to current Epic but with dark blue instead of green
3. Rogue will be fixed hosel, non-adjustable
4. Rogue will not have a slidign weight - instead will have 2 versions - one with a front/back weight (SZ) and one with a back and heel weight (Std)
5. Apex hybrids will be dropped
6. Jailbreak tech will be carried over into the FWs and the HYBs
7. The major focus of the release will be the FWs (A la Rocketballz??)

I think this is true for the Fairways (bonded) but the Driver is adjustable (hosel) from what I've been hearing.
That’s good because I have about negative interest in a bonded driver anymore.

Just to help adjust some of the rumours.
The only issue I see is that Jailbreak makes the Epic driver feel very firm. It will probably do the same with fairways. As opposed to, let's say, the G400, which has such a sweet, soft feel. I think the current fairway line is excellent, but the Big Dog must keep moving.

Jailbreak is being adjusted some as well for the Rogue line. Won't get into it too much, however that feedback has been heard by the sounds of things.

I think you'll both be very happy with this line up then

What about sound? Ive only hit the Epic a few times, which I liked, but I've heard the sound for some wasn't up to snuff. Any changes to that with Rogue?

I haven't hit it, so I'm not sure how the adjustments would effect sound.
God I can't wait for these to be released. I think alot of people will be happy with it.
