We’re most excited by the significant weight savings, which have allowed Callaway to make the club lighter and faster to swing, as well as more stable off-centre to aid distance and direction across the board.
Some of this weight saving comes from Jailbreak Technology tweaks. In Epic two titanium bars stiffened the crown and sole so the face could absorb more impact-load to create faster ball speeds and in Rogue these two bars are hourglass-shaped to save 25 per cent of their weight. The majority of weight savings, however, come from the removal of the Epic’s adjustable weight track.
While adding another premium driver to the range so soon might seem like a risky move, when you realise one driver is highly adjustable and the other is light and forgiving, you’ll see Callaway has cleverly joined the likes of TaylorMade and Titleist in offering multiple premium options aimed at different players. The Rogue Sub Zero also comes in a Draw and a more forgiving standard model, which arguably makes the loss of the weight track less of an issue.
