IntroductionMy recent review of the Callaway Rogue ST MAX fairway wood, revealed that it has good reason to call itself Callaway’s “fastest fairway wood ever.” For players that want to take advantage of that speed but also need less spin, there’s the Rogue ST LS fairway wood. LooksThe Callaway Rogue ST LS fairway wood is the most compact FW in the line. While it’s clearly smaller than the Rogue ST MAX, the difference is not night and day. I found the shorter front-to-back length most noticeable. This club also sports a taller face than its brothers, making it a more appealing option off the tee. Finally, the LS sits square at address where the other two Rogue ST FWs sit somewhat closed. Beyond the differences in shape and size, the Rogue ST LS is identical to the other fairway woods. They all share the matte black/carbon fiber crown. All three have a white chevron alignment aid and some thin design elements at the rear of the crown. Flipping the club over, your eyes will be drawn first to the gold Tungsten Speed Cartridge. Those with an eye for detail will notice that the LS model also has a round, removable weight just behind that. This differentiates the LS from the other two Rogue ST fairway woods. Sound & FeelI described the sound of the Rogue ST MAX fairway wood as a “muted whip crack.” The Rogue ST LS fairway wood is similar but even more muted. It’s slightly quieter – though the difference is minimal- and the sound has a little less pop to it. All of this is in line with what I expect from a “Tour” style club. The feel of impact is more solid than fast – though, as I’ll discuss, this head doesn’t lack for speed. I found that the muted sound made audio feedback fairly minimal. However, I was able to feel the impact location precisely without much effort. PerformanceAs I’ve written many times before, no one will ever confuse me for Henrik Stenson with a 3W in hand. Hitting consistent FW shots has never been my strong suit, so I had some trepidation about how the Rogue ST LS would work for me. It turned out to be a much better fit than I expected. Looking at the Rogue ST LS FW at address, I had mixed feelings. The face is a bit taller than the MAX, which is typically not helpful for shots off the deck. However, I loved the smaller head and square face. Those two factors were clearly more important than the taller face because I made very nice contact and elevated the ball quite easily. The “neutral” bias of the Rogue ST LS also worked in my favor, keeping shots right on line. One thing that was consistent between the LS and MAX fairway woods was the exceptional ball speed. Both are flamethrowers when you hit them on center. The LS does give up a little bit more speed on mishits but not much. If you prefer a smaller head or hitting a fade, don’t be afraid to give this a try. All three Rogue ST fairway woods were tested in one session, so you are welcome to compare the launch monitor numbers. You may note that the LS launched higher and spun more than the MAX. This is a result of the LS flying straight as opposed to the draws and pulls produced by the MAX. The LS is a lower launching, lower spinning head, but that’s confounded by the difference in face angle and flight bias. Comparing the Rogue ST LS fairway wood to the other models in the line, it has the most compact footprint and the tallest face. All three share the Jailbreak ST technology and AI Designed Flash Face. The LS model is, of course, the lowest spinning and the lowest launching. It’s also the only model with an external weight and the only one without a draw bias. Callaway rates the forgiveness of the LS as “High” compared to “Highest” in the Rogue ST MAX and Rogue ST MAX D fairway woods. ConclusionThe Callaway Rogue ST LS fairway wood is a versatile long game tool with ball speed and distance to burn. For a compact FW, it packs a surprising amount of forgiveness.

The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green shaft, AKA “The Hulk,” is designed to handle the fastest, most aggressive swings. Produces low, penetrating drives. Very accurate. IntroductionThe second generation of Project X’s HZRDUS line, HZRDUS Smoke, has raised the bar for dropping spin. The HZRDUS Smoke Black, has proven to be a favorite among strong, aggressive players seeking more control. With the release of the HZRDUS Smoke Green, Project X is taking that to even higher levels. Billed as the stiffest HZRDUS yet, “The Hulk” promises to keep up with the fastest swings. LooksUntil now, every shaft in the HZRDUS line has been pretty tame in terms of looks. If you like that, the HZRDUS Smoke Green is available in a traditional Smoke Grey. For those seeking more flash, check out the Gamma PVD finish seen in these pictures. As cool as it looks on your screen, I guarantee it’s better in person. The majority of the shaft is a shiny green, but near the tip you get blues, purples, and even a hint of orange. The branding on the HZRDUS Smoke Green is in line with the rest of the family, but with bolder colors. I love the bright green that “HZRDUS” and “Smoke” are written in. The hazmat placard near the butt gives the shaft’s specs. This model is also one of Project X’s Small Batch family, so that branding is there too, in an iridescent silver. FeelJust a few swings with the HZRDUS Smoke Green had me turning to my thesaurus to look for synonyms for “stable.” Solid, steady, secure, strong, stout, sturdy, substantial, and, my favorite, immovable, all apply equally well to The Hulk. This is a shaft that is simply not impressed with your puny swing. If you think that sounds like the HZRDUS Black, you’re not wrong, but The Hulk takes it up a notch. I could not get this shaft to bend or kick noticeably no matter how aggressively I swung. What makes The Hulk appealing is that, as strong as it is, it doesn’t feel harsh. Paradoxically, this uber-stiff shaft had me swinging within myself because I knew that even my most violent efforts couldn’t make this beast kick. I felt very connected to the club head and knew that I would get whatever result my swing deserved. PerformanceHaving tested most of the HZRDUS shafts, I had a pretty clear idea what to expect from the HZRDUS Smoke Green. I anticipated low spin, low launch, and excellent accuracy. The Hulk delivered on all counts. What stood out right away was the low trajectory. I’ve been driving the ball well lately and getting back to my higher launching ways. The Hulk knocked several degrees off my launch angle and flattened the trajectory. If you play in heavy wind or on fast fairways, this is absolutely the shaft you want in your driver. I was able to adjust my swing to launch some drives higher, but this shaft’s default is low bullets. Due to the low spin, the HZRDUS Smoke Green likes to hit straight shots. There were some pushes and the occasional pull, but my drives curved very little. With considerable effort, I could hit cuts, but I could not get this shaft to draw. ConclusionThe HZRDUS Smoke Green does exactly what Project X claims: it handles the fastest, most aggressive swings and allows golfers to hit low launching, low spinning shots. No matter how angry you are when you swing, The Hulk can keep your drives in the fairway. Purchase includes head cover shown in pictures measures about 42 3/4"
