This is Golfer Geeks’ Callaway Rogue ST Pro irons review.
I’m an avid golfer, a 9.2 handicap on my way to a 2 (been a 5.6) and frequent tester of golf clubs and equipment since 2015.
I tested the Rogue ST Pro irons during one range session and one round of golf.
Summary: Callaway Rogue ST Pro irons are a dream to hit, hold, and just look at. Soft & solid at impact. Good forgiveness and the ball jumps off the face. Get your hands on them and hit them… you’ll know. All at an unbelievably good price for premium player irons. You need to be testing these if you’re in the market.
In this review of the Callaway Rogue ST Pro irons, I discuss my experience with the clubs, unique features and benefits, as well as customer reviews and potential alternatives.
- Easy launch & Explosive distance
- Superb feel & Just enough forgiveness
- Flight & Work the ball easily
- Incredible price
- None

They’ve got the look of low handicap player irons with ALL Callaway’s tech hidden inside a hollow-body design. They pack tons of forgiveness and distance in a compact player clubhead.

Features & Benefits
1) High Strength 450 A.I. Designed Flash Face Cup
- “An industry-first, we combined high-strength 450 steel with our A.I. designed Flash Face Cup. This delivers more ball speed and better ball speed consistency.”
2) New A.I. Face Optimization for Speed, Launch and Spin
- Fancy pants artificial intelligence is used to dial in loft and spin rate across the face for individual irons. The ball launches and lands better on the greens.
3) Precision Tungsten Weighting for Optimal Launch
- Better use of tungsten weighting for better launch and more speed over a bigger area of the face.
4) Patented Urethane Microspheres for Pure Feel
- Now moved higher in the face for better sound, feel, and added ball speeds.
5) Compact, Workable Shape
- ALL that tech hidden in a compact hollow-body iron. Nothing not to love
Testing the Rogue ST Pro irons
1 range session – I hit a couple buckets and flushed a lot of shots with the ST Pros. I figured they’d hit well and they didn’t disappoint. Luckily for me, my swing was good to go during my testing.
1 round of golf – I’d LOVE to play many more rounds with the ST Pros, but all I needed was one to know they are insanely good irons.
My Experience with the Callaway Rogue ST Pro Irons
My very first iron shot on the course was a 7-iron into the opening par 5.
My drive found the right center of the fairway. I had 175ish yards to the pin and I pulled the 7-iron which has the same loft as my everyday 6-iron (Ben Hogan PTx Pro).
I expected to be about pin-high with a good shot.
I flushed a high draw right over the flag about 12 feet past the pin for eagle (didn’t make it). It couldn’t have felt better or been a better result.
The Rogue ST Pros consistently delivered about half a club more distance than the loft played. The ball launches easily with a high piercing trajectory and lands soft around the pin or around the green.
Rogue ST Pros are minimal-effort irons. Put a decent swing on it, hit somewhere around the sweet spot and your ball will jump off the face, high into the air, and carry forever.
But, they are consistent too, which is crucial for scoring.
The lofts are about a club stronger than my everyday set. I just grabbed one iron less for all my yardages. So, no surprises once you figure out your lofts.
I would own and play these in a second.
Review of the Callaway Rogue ST Pro Irons
Looks (A+) I’m smitten. I love the looks of the ST Pros. Compact head. Thinish topline and sole. Beautiful design.
Sound/ Feel (A+) Fantastic. I love the muted “click” at impact and the feel is soft as can be.
Distance (A+) These lofts are jacked, to be sure. But the ST Pros are packed with features making it easy to elevate your ball and get good distance with less than great contact.
Forgiveness (A+) Outstanding for a player iron with a compact clubhead.
Flight / Playability (A+) Any trajectory or shape you want to dial up.
