I like to golf. I am still bad at it, but I spend around 14 hours a week golfing, so I am good enough to know what to look for in a golf club. 

When my old driver cracked and it was time to buy a new one, I was very excited. My dad agreed to pay for half, and I couldn’t wait to test out many golf clubs and find the best one for the right price. After I had tested many different clubs at the pga superstore, I narrowed it down to the Callaway Rogue ST and the Ping G425. 

Initially, I was leaning against the Rogue because of its steep price of $600. Most new drivers compare at about $540. I quickly learned why the price was higher, though. It has been designed, tested, and revised for over 2 years to make sure it performs at the highest level in every category imagineable. 

The Rogue is constructed beautifully with a titanium club face and carbon fiber club head. It’s versatility is unmatched, enabling you to change the loft and face degrees with ease. The premium lightweight materials allow for increased club speed and further distances. 


As amazing as this all is, I wish it was a little more accurate. Instead of my usual rare miss left, I missed the ball in both directions with this club. Now—that isn’t the driver’s fault, it is my own poor ability. But it does reflect upon the fact that it is a more difficult club to hit well with than other drivers on the market.


That being said, there are few drivers that give the golfer as much feel and versatility in their own swing. A lot of the drivers that compare to this one are even more expensive than The Rogue is. 


Taking everything into consideration, the Callaway Rogue ST is, in my opinion, the best driver in the world made before the year 2023 for experienced golfers who are looking for increased distance.
