I'm 74 soon to be 75. My 7 iron has been about 150 to 160 all my life. I am an 8 HDCP in my senior league. Also, had my shoulder replaced 3 months ago . I was down to 130 yds with my 7 iron a Ping G710. Struggling to get back to even 130 with my 7, even with the best Ping clubs made perhaps. I go to an indoor practice facility hit off a trackman so I am seeing the numbers. The pro is a Callaway rep so he has new Callaway irons laying around. I picked up a demo he had Rogue ST max with reg flex Cypher shaft he had laying around, and after a few balls was hitting around 140 to 150 yards! Then hit one 155! It seemed like that the Project-X "Cypher" shaft allowed me great feel to square up the face in the slot. Going to sell my pings!

ST Pro is now on the must try list

95+ mph club speed with 7 irons is very very impressive.. I'm jealous lol. Great video!

Low spin isn't an issue when you consider the distance it is going. From my testing these are about 2-3 clubs longer than sets from 6-10 years ago. Based on that you need to compare clubs that hit the ball the same distance. If this 7 iron is 20 yards longer then you would probably be hitting a 9 iron versus a 7. With the 9 your launch and spin would be similar to an older 7 iron. However, hitting a 9 iron will be way more accuratenthan a 7 iron.

Very nice Break down I have 82 MPH with 7 Iron think the Rogue ST MAX OS is the best fit for me. Also always do Steel Shaft for Feel and feedback. give up a couple of yards of difference but more feedback when hitting.

Guys it would be interesting to see the lite thanks.

Thanks for the great review ...although I was looking forward to the testing of st max lite version as well

Thanks for the Review Guys, the roll out on the MAX & MAX OS Irons would worry me, I would hate to hit the Green but roll off into the rough. The PRO Irons look much nicer, though the chrome is a little too shiny (I prefer a matt finish). But I'm looking forward to an opportunity to hit the Pro's to see how they perform.

Question☝️ - what do you thinking, these irons (St-Max and OS)are fore? Hcp 15-beginner ? With these lofts, they can play max, the iron 7 and no chance, to stop the ball on the green🤷🏻‍♂️ I didn't see the sense, to wright the wrong numbers on the clubs🤔 Ohhh my 7 iron is sooo long...💪 realy!?🙄

I'm coming off of my beginner Wilson Ultra XD package set. Currently handicap 23 and dropping rapidly. Would you recommend the Rouge ST Max for a player like me, who are they aimed at? Thanks!

Crazy lofts on these irons. Maybe its time to swap out the 5/6 iron from my set of TM Speedblades and put in a 7/6 from this set?

Why not hit the Lites too?

That was very educational.

What a great swing!

Great video guys. I am a right handed golfer. I have g710 8-s. I was considering the g425 or st max for a six and seven iron. I am hitting all my clubs to the left except for my g425 six hybrid. It keeps going right on me and my G425 nine wood is laser beam straight for me. I noticed how far left Drew is hitting these st irons. I want a club/clubs between my nine wood and eight iron that will just go straight. No workability. Just straight consistent distances (on good hits of course) and hold a green. Any recommendations?

I play xrs os. I love them but I don’t like the offset to the left. How does the offset compare with the st max os and the st max? I just ordered at max but I’m scared they won’t hold the green. I’d really appreciate some input. I know i should get fitted but I don’t have a lot of money.

Excellent

Slightly higher handicapper but love the rogue pro look. 7i swing speed is 80mph. Would you recommend a regular or stiff shaft

I'm getting fit for first time next month. Sadly no 2nd swing where I'm from. Ready to ditch my chunky Wilson D7s which were great to start. I'm a 16 handicap but been steadily improving every year. Goal is to reach 12-13 this summer. I'm having trouble narrowing down my options. Looking for more spin and stopping power for sure and wanna ditch super strong lofts. swing my 7 iron at 90 mph. Apart from i210 or a ZX5/ZX7 combo set what else should I consider?

I'd be curious with the talk of distance all the time now, why wouldn't better players get fit for something like this? Looks like in this video you give him a flatter lie angle, he is hitting "tour distances" with his swing speed and straighter.

Would you compare Apex 21 and rogue pro, I want to change my Apex CF16, Any suggestion

I’ve got a little faster swing speed than drew but his 95mph swing is so damn smooth. Looks like he’s barely trying

No Thomas today? Did you break him yesterday?

Which other clubs are similar to the ST pro? Is it same category as jpx or is jpx on the more game improvement side?

Did Drew play any sports? His SS is not too much different from pga tour players. What's the secret behind?

Callaway seems to be using the term “AI” rather loosely in their marketing. Artificial Intelligence has been developed for computers, and machines that use computers or chips containing code, to make decisions in solving problems. Things like the best chess moves, self-driving cars, etc. The term has been expanded loosely so that people will be impressed, or intimidated, into thinking if it’s AI, then it must be the best. Not really sure how this applies to the manufacturing of a golf club. There is physics involved, but with physics there is no decision-making needed. It is what it is. Good club design or not so much. I think Callaway is just using the term AI as a marketing tactic, just like using the name “Rogue” might catch someone’s interest. Personally, I think the name is quite misplaced. If one looks up the definition of that word you would see that Callaway could do better when naming their products.

208 carry with easy 7 iron...Mmmmm you need 5 wedges in the bag !

All manufacturers are doing the same on game improvement irons the key is distance apparently. When they going to realise it's just a club number change 7 iron loft is now a 6 iron loft which is cheating way of doing it, they would do better changing it the other way 8 iron loft on a 7 iron..and hay ho you might get back to 31° which is still strong but less chance getting a bullet ball out the rough and will give you better spin numbers and not 3500 - 4000 spin.
