I think I’ve already made myself quite clear on the fact that I deem the Callaway Rogue as one of the most forgiving drivers made to date. As a result, it increases energy transfer to the ball on impact and the ball goes a good distance and at a great speed.Įverything is a lot lighter with the Rogue driver, be it the hourglass-shaped titanium bars that make the sole and the crown stiffer, or the VFT face which is a lot thinner and faster in this model. The sole is joined to the gorgeous Triaxial carbon crown. If you are the kind of golfer who craves great distance, ball speed along with a lot of forgiveness, the rigid structure of the Rogue might be exactly what you are looking for. The Epic lineup also utilizes the same technology, but the titanium bars of Rogue are 25% lighter. Let’s break down what this Jailbreak technology is and how it works. Path-breaking or not, that’s for you to decide. Many seasoned club experts have gone on record calling it a path-breaking technology. Well, let me tell you straightaway that Callaway has made a far better use of this technology in the Rouge line-up.
#CALLAWAY X HOT DRIVER ADJUSTMENT SERIES#
One of the most distinguished features of the Epic series drivers that made club experts go gaga over it was the use of Jailbreak Technology. The makers also claim that it leads to dropped CG and 16% tighter shot dispersion. The result? Saving 15g of weight which is then cleverly repositioned at the lower side to promote more forgiveness. Unlike the Epic drivers, the Rouge doesn’t feature sliding weight tracks at the back of the head. As it thickens the strategic areas of the face, you get a consistently high ball speed and a decent distance, even on off-center strikes. This, combined with the X-face and VFT architecture, results in minimal loss of energy on impact. However, it is glaringly shallower and thinner. The head of the Rouge driver is nearly 10% larger than that of Epic. The Rouge features some significant design upgrades that make it more forgiving on mishits and even make off-center strikes take off perfect center strikes. The Rouge series, as I might have already stressed earlier, is a successful spin on Callaway’s already popular Epic series of drivers.
