Callaway adds Rogue Driver to Callaway Customs platform

Published

on

Just like the GBB Epic last year, Callaway is adding its centerpiece driver, Rogue, to the Callaway Customs platform, allowing golfers to customize two different zones with nine color options (and 81 possible color combinations).

All three Rogue models — Standard, Sub Zero, and Draw — are available for customization.

Callaway Customs allows golfers to create detailed personalization. using Callaway’s interactive configurator. In addition to the Rogue drivers, golfers can currently customize Mack Daddy 4 and Mack Daddy Forged wedges, along with Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X golf balls.

With the Rogue driver, Callaway made a departure from the technology that made GBB Epic the best-selling driver in the U.S. last year. Callaway enhanced the Jailbreak technology the company debuted with Epic, turning the titanium bars to a hourglass shape to reduce weight and minimize crown and sole deflection at impact. The resulting thinner face allows for better energy transfer and higher ball speeds. This yields 0.6 mph more club head speed compared to the GBB Epic, according to Callaway, and a 16-percent tighter dispersion.

Rogue drivers also feature X Face VFT technology that uses variable face thicknesses across the face to boost ball speeds on off-center strikes. The triaxial carbon crown, Callaway’s largest carbon crown ever, allows the company to redistribute weight lower and farther back in the club head. Rogue driver also feature the Boeing Aero Package (speed trips on the crown and an overall more aerodynamic shape) which the company introduced in the XR 16 drivers.

The Customs Rogue retails for $599.99 and is available now.

    Uh, who cares….., so now I can have PINK PAINT on my driver? Can I put a unicorn on there too?? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????. Golf equipment is TOO expensive. Every damn year “the new driver that helps you get laid and adds distance”? I can buy used for 1/10th cost. Like that idiot/racist spike lee said “don’t believe the hype”
