Which to choose

The main difference is ball flight. The Rogue ST Max D is built to turn the ball over. It uses extra heel weighting and a more upright 60° lie to help golfers who fight a fade or slice. The Rogue ST Max LS has a neutral bias and a flatter 57° lie, and it is aimed at players who spin the ball too much. Most testers found it the lowest-spinning head in the Rogue ST family.

Both are 460cc heads with titanium faces and adjustable hosels. Testers called both forgiving. The Max D is built around maximum forgiveness and a large, confidence-inspiring look. The LS rewards a controlled delivery from a golfer who can already square the face.

Choose the Rogue ST Max D Driver if…

you lose drives to the right with a fade or slice and want the most forgiving head with a built-in draw bias.

Choose the Rogue ST Max LS Driver if…

you're a faster swinger or a lower handicapper who spins the ball too much, can square the face on your own, and wants a neutral flight.

Common questions

Which has more draw bias?
The Rogue ST Max D has more. Its heel weighting and 60° lie help turn the ball over, while the Max LS is neutral and won't help you square the face.
Which is better for a slicer?
The Max D, since its draw bias helps straighten a fade or slice. The LS does little for slicers.
Which suits a high-spin player?
The Max LS is the low-spin model of the family, built for golfers who spin it too much. One tester saw only a small spin gap compared with the standard Max.

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Shot Shape: The Max D Turns It Left

Reviewers describe the Rogue ST Max D's draw bias in different strengths. One article called it subtle and said shots mostly drew. Another called it strong: with that author's swing, every drive finished left. One testing video called it a draw machine rather than an anti-slice club, while another tested it in a neutral hosel setting and noted you can add draw. Reviewers describe the Max LS as neutral. One tester said it doesn't push shots right, but it gives almost no help closing the face, so you have to work it yourself. Others saw a few left misses or a controlled draw. The Max D actively helps the ball turn over, while the LS leaves shot shape up to you.

Launch and Spin: The LS Spins Less

Testing videos describe the Max D as high-launching. One tester called its draws high and soft, with enough spin to keep the ball in the air, and another called it mid-spin and high-launch. One article had no Max D launch or spin results. Two sources found the Max LS to be the lowest-spinning Rogue ST head. One video, though, said the gap to the standard Max was so small that most golfers may not notice it. Opinions on launch are split: one tester said the stock loft launched too low and suggested adding loft, while another saw it launch higher than a rival head. The Max D is tuned for a high, carrying flight, while the LS aims for low spin and may need more loft to launch well.

Forgiveness: The Max D Is the Safer Bet

Reviewers praised the Max D's forgiveness consistently. One article said ball speed stayed high on deliberately poor swings. Another said forgiveness stood out even while the author struggled with the club. In testing videos, the head stayed stable on hard swings and avoided a big block to the right. For the Max LS, opinions are split. One article saw little drop in consistency on mishits, and one video recorded a tighter dispersion than a competitor. Another reviewer expected its high MOI to make it friendly. On the other side, one tester said its smaller head adds no forgiveness or slice help, and another article ranked the standard Max as more forgiving. Forgiveness is a key strength of the Max D, while for the LS reviewers saw it as more conditional.

Feel and Sound: Muted Max D, Livelier LS

Reviewers described the Max D as solid and stable at impact. One compared it to a hammer or anvil, and one noticed the heavier head in the backswing. Two reviewers liked its muted, woodsy sound, while one tester found it too muffled and wanted crisper feedback. The Max LS was described as solid but quick and fast off the face. One tester called the face grabby and sticky. Reviewers were split on its sound: one called it very quiet and low-pitched, so it was hard to judge strikes by ear, another heard a crisp 'clink', and a third said it sounded great. Overall, the Max D comes across as heavier and more muffled, and the LS as quicker and livelier off the face.

Looks at Address: Big Max D, Compact LS

Reviewers said the Max D looks much like other Rogue ST models. One article noted a larger profile that makes the face look big. Another noted it is slightly longer from front to back, with some offset and a heel weight port. One video called it big and meaty behind the ball and said you need to like how it looks at address. Reviewers liked the Max LS's matte crown. One article called its shape rounded, nearly symmetrical and of typical size. One tester saw it as compact, and another called it one of the best-looking drivers, with a more pleasing shape than the Max. The Max D looks larger behind the ball, while the LS has a more compact, traditional shape at address.
