FORGIVENES­S RATING

-

All the same fast face tech, standing wave and urethane microspher­e tech you’ll find in the other three Rogue irons, but with more loft and lighter swingweigh­ts. Rogue W are designed to launch higher, maximise air time and carry for golfers whose swing speeds don’t hit the red line.

The Rogue W are well worth a closer look, as just like the Cobra F-max they’re specifical­ly set up to boost launch and air time at average speeds. Simon hit the W really consistent­ly, liking the head shape (for the SGI category) and feel. But just like we expected, even at average swing speeds, the Rogue W racked up an extra 2000rpm of backspin which it wouldn’t do at lesser swing speeds. The extra spin made it difficult for it to compete when it came to distance or ball speeds, but in the right hands it would be a revelation.
