Callaway Golf Rogue Drivers and Fairway Woods Preview

Riding a wave of momentum into 2018, Callaway Golf has released their new Rogue Drivers and Rogue Fairway Woods.  Both clubs feature the company's proprietary Jailbreak Technology made famous in last season's Epic drivers, but Callaway claims the Rogue drivers and woods are more forgiving and deliver even faster ball speeds thanks to an updated face. 

 

Improving on the best selling driver of 2017 is no small task, and I'll give you my full impressions next week at the PGA Show.  In the meantime here are few key details about the new line, and some comparisons for perspective to last year's Epic. 

ROGUE DRIVER 
Jailbreak Distance with Increased Forgiveness 

 

New Jailbreak Shape and Weight
Jailbreak bars that connect the crown to the sole are now shaped like an hourglass and 25% lighter, which adds stiffness to the body and minimizes the amount of energy loss at impact. 

 

New Optimized Face 
Redesigned X-Face VFT Technology makes the face lighter, thinner, and faster, which promotes higher ball speeds and longer distance. 

Triaxial Carbon Crown and New Head Shape for Increased MO
The large Triaxial Carbon composite crown surface area and new high-MOI shape with larger address footprint combine to increase stability and forgiveness.  It's still a 460cc head, but shallower and deeper than the Epic. 

 

Boeing Aero Package 
Callaway worked with Boeing to improve Speed Step technology by redefining the geometry of the leading edge to improve airflow to promote faster head speed. 

ROGUE FAIRWAY WOODS
The First Fairway Wood with Jailbreak Distance Technology 

 

Jailbreak Technology and Face Cup for the First Time in a Fairway Wood 
Jailbreak Technology and Face Cup work together (for the first time) to promote fast ball speed across a large part of the face for consistently long distance.

Easy to Launch on a Strong, Straight Flight 
Ultra-low CG location and high MOI make Rogue fairways easy to hit and exceptionally accurate. 

 

Triaxial Carbon Crown for Distance and Forgiveness 
Weight saved by the light, strong Triaxial Carbon crown is repositioned in the head to promote high launch / low spin and increased MOI.
