Callaway Rogue ST Max Review: Still Worth It in 2026? (Then vs Now)

Research review: based on manufacturer specs and cited independent testing. How we test

The Callaway Rogue ST Max came out in 2022 [1]. Its headline idea was a 26g tungsten weight low and back for stability. That was 4 years ago, so the questions now are different: is it still worth buying used, and how far behind is it compared with the Callaway Quantum Max?

Key takeaway: The Callaway Rogue ST Max (2022) is 4 years old, has an adjustable hosel, and a 460cc head. Our verdict: a strong used buy.

The Rogue ST Max in 2022: what it was

The Rogue ST Max was built around a 26g tungsten weight low and back for stability. It sat on the forgiving side of the lineup, for players who wanted help on off-centre strikes. The 460cc head is the same size limit drivers are built to today.

Is the Rogue ST Max worth buying in 2026? A strong used buy

It is recent enough that the face and shaping are close to current models, and it is fully adjustable. For most club golfers, a well-kept Rogue ST Max at a used price is better value than paying full price for the Callaway Quantum Max.

Who should still buy one?

  • Buy it if you want a forgiving club on a small budget and can try it before you pay.
  • Skip it if you can stretch to a recent used model (the last three or four years) — the forgiveness gap is bigger than the price gap.

Buying a used Rogue ST Max: checklist

  1. Sleeve and wrench: make sure the adapter comes with it and that it fits the Callaway system you have. Ask the seller which setting it is in.
  2. Face: look for cracks, dents or a caved-in look at the centre. A cracked face can't be repaired.
  3. Crown: sky marks and paint chips are cosmetic; dents are not.
  4. Shaft and grip: check the flex label. A worn grip costs little to replace; a shaft that is too stiff costs you carry.
  5. Price check: we could not verify current used prices, so compare recent sold listings before you buy (eBay sold listings).
