Any driver above 7,000 MOI is considered “forgiving.” Company testing also shows the Rogue produced 16% tighter shot dispersion. The marketing attention this year will be focused on the titanium rods inside the Rogue, but the face design of the new Rogue is also worth further explanation. The X-Face with VFT has raised ridges, in the shape of a large X, in the middle of the inner side of the face, with varying thickness in strategic areas. The result, in addition to producing a minimum thickness overall, helps ball launch numbers and allows the areas of the crown, as WELL AS THE SOLE ÛANGE NEAR the face to be thinner, while still lowering energy loss from vibration. Callaway’s research and promotional material states, “X-Face with VFT technology expands the area of the clubface that delivers faster ball speeds to promote more distance from off-center hits, and more consistent ball speed and distance overall.” In addition to the standard CONÚGURATION OF THE 2OGUE there are three models from which to choose. One that promotes a draw, an anti-slice CONÚGURATION PLUS AN UPRIGHT lie, with an offset between the head and the shaft. The Rogue Sub Zero for better players is a low spin model but still has a high MOI, with two weights in the sole. Each Rogue driver model is priced with a MSRP of $500.00. The Rogue fairway woods have the “Jailbreak Rods,” although they are steel not titanium, as in the driver, and they also feature Callaway’s face cup design. There are two models, the standard and the Sub-Zero, both priced at $300.00. Ohio Golf Journal
