Which to choose

The biggest difference is who each head is built for. The Rogue ST Max LS is the low-spin member of Callaway's 2022 Rogue ST family. It's aimed at faster swingers and mid-to-low handicappers who spin the ball too much, and its neutral bias won't help you square the face. The 2023 Paradym is Callaway's standard full-size driver and suits a much wider range of golfers, high handicappers included.

Both heads are 460cc with a 57° lie at 10.5° of loft, and testers called both solid and stable at impact. The Paradym has a rear sliding weight for draw or fade tuning, and testers praised its forgiveness and tight dispersion. The Max LS relies on an adjustable hosel instead. Price is a recurring complaint with the Paradym.

Choose the Rogue ST Max LS Driver if…

you're a faster swinger or a lower handicapper who spins the driver too much and can square the face yourself, and you want a stable, neutral, low-spin head.

Choose the Paradym Driver if…

you want a very forgiving driver with tight dispersion that suits a wide range of skill levels, plus a sliding rear weight to tune the head toward a draw or a fade.
