Which to choose

The biggest difference is spin and shot shape. The Rogue ST Max is the forgiveness-first model. Its weight sits low and back for an easy high launch, and most testers saw a slight draw tendency. The Max LS is the low-spin version with a neutral bias. Most testers found it spins the least of the Rogue ST heads, though one saw only a small gap to the standard Max.

Both are 460cc heads with titanium faces, and testers praised the forgiveness of each. The Max is described as one of the most forgiving drivers of its season. It has a 59° lie at 10.5°, against 57° for the LS. The LS rewards a controlled delivery and a player who can square the face. The Max suits golfers who want help finding fairways.

Choose the Rogue ST Max Driver if…

you're a mid- to high-handicapper who wants maximum forgiveness, an easy high launch and a mild draw tendency to help you find more fairways.

Choose the Rogue ST Max LS Driver if…

you're a faster-swinging mid-to-low handicapper who spins the ball too much and can square the face yourself, so you'd rather have a lower-spinning, neutral driver.

Does the LS really spin less than the Max?

Side by Side, Aspect by Aspect

Launch and Spin: The LS Spins Less

Reviewers expected the Max to launch high. One comparison rated its launch high, and one testing video saw it fly noticeably higher than the LS because the weight sits back in the head. Opinions on its spin were split. One reviewer called it a good mid-spin zone and another found it lower than expected for a max-style head, but two testers felt it ran a little high for them. The LS was built for lower spin, and two sources found it the lowest-spinning Rogue ST head. One video, however, saw only a very small gap to the Max. One tester felt the stock loft launched too low and added loft. In short, the Max favours height, while the LS gives up some launch for a lower-spin flight.

Forgiveness: The Max Is the Benchmark

Reviewers named forgiveness as the Max's headline quality. One article called it the most forgiving driver tested that season. Several sources described steady ball speed and direction on off-centre strikes, and one video showed a run of tightly grouped drives. Comments on the LS were more mixed. One reviewer saw little drop in consistency compared with the standard Max, and one test video found its dispersion tighter than a rival low-spin driver's. Another source credited its high-MOI design but did not rank it above the Max. One video warned that the smaller-looking head will not rescue a slice. Both heads are forgiving, but the Max is the one reviewers singled out as the most forgiving.

Shot Shape: Mild Draw vs Neutral

Most sources noted a slight draw bias in the Max. One article said shots curved left but none missed right. Another found the draw too strong for an anti-hook swing, and one video liked the small draws it produced. One tester, however, said his slight left start came from his own swing rather than the club. Several reviewers described the LS as neutral, and one called its flight more workable. One video said it does almost nothing to help square the face, so players have to work it themselves to hit a draw. Another saw a controlled draw late in a session. The Max nudges shots left, while the LS leaves shot shape up to the player.

Feel and Sound: Fuller Pop vs Quiet Click

Reviewers consistently described the Max as solid and stable at impact, though one noted that the heavier head can be felt in the backswing. Its sound was praised in most reviews. One article heard a deep, woody tone, another heard a louder pop than the Epic Speed, and one video called the sound the driver's standout quality. The LS also felt solid. Testers described it as fast off the face, and one video called it grabby at impact. Opinions on its sound were split. One reviewer found it very quiet and short, which made strikes hard to judge by ear. Another heard a crisp clink, and one video simply said it sounds great. One video comparing the two found the Max's sound more powerful.
