Callaway Rogue Draw

www.callawaygolf.com X Lofts: 9° / 10.5° / 13.5° X Shafts: Aldila Quaranta (40g), Aldila Synergy (50g), Project X Evenflow (60g), Project X Hzrdus (70g/80g) X Adjustable hosel: Yes (-1°/+2°)

TECH: From looks alone most golfers would have no idea the Draw isn’t a standard Rogue. Callaway says there are seven yards more draw bias than golfers could get from the adjustable Epic, which not only helps keep shots away from the right side of the golf course, but also improves ball speeds for heel strikers.

WE SAY: The Rogue’s wider, streamlined shape, bigger footprint, looks friendlier than the Epic; it’s a huge step forward in our opinion. The Draw head has seven yards more draw bias than the Epic (in a draw setting) and it’s worth remembering Rogue’s lower spinning, too, so you’ll want to move up a loft for 2018. The Rogue Draw posted a ball speed 1mph slower than the M4 for Simon, but on average exactly the same carry (as backspin was reduced). With shaft options from 40g to 80g; the Rogue Draw can be set up to suit almost all swing speeds.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

Think forgiveness, think confidence-inspiring big wide head shape, think muted sound, just like the Epic... oh and it’s a draw driver that doesn’t make you look like a hacker. In our opinion there’s never been a better time to look at a draw driver.
