Head to head

Callaway Rogue ST MAX vs MAX OS irons

Choose the MAX OS if you miss the middle or hit it heavy.

Choose the MAX for the stronger lofts and a less bulky head.

Both are game improvement irons from Callaway's Rogue ST family, with the same steel face cup and stock shafts from the same families. The MAX OS is the more forgiving: Callaway's chart rates it Highest against High, with a wide sole against a moderate one and an oversize head against a moderate one, and its offset at the 7-iron is 6.6 mm against 6.1 mm. The MAX has the stronger lofts (a 27.5° 7-iron against 28.5°) and Callaway called it its longest iron. It scores 3.5 of 5 here, the MAX OS 4.
