Enjoy!

P.S.:

Rick Shiels and Mark Crossfield are not at the table yet...

Why didn't they use rouge for the colour?? Ugh.. Missed one, Cally Mktg.

The Rouge Rogue. You're welcome.

Meanwhile those channels joined the party:

...and finally Rick came to the table with 2x3 shots...:

Everytime they say "larger footprint" I get more turned off.

nice large footprint

In person the size looks good, very reasonable.

Rogue looks interesting.

Do you consider the Epic reasonable?

Love the looks better vs. the Epic. Looking at the reviews, doesn't look like anyone is really gaining anything vs. the Epic/their gamers?! Might be a bit more forgiving, but that is about it?!

We need a Shiels review...

You are probably kidding?

Because I already posted that link:

"...and finally Rick came to the table with 2x3 shots...:

He hit 3 shots each, and 1 out of three shots were OK...

...now we shall wait a few weeks until he is hitting some more shots, that are hopefully OK?

I rather watch this:

He is a far better ball striker than Rick, and also delivers the numbers and strike locations - in the same video.

Are they build in a Shithole Country?

Surprisingly quiet on the Rogue front, am I missing something? Not a huge jump from the Epic, just more expensive? I was thinking about getting fit for a Rogue, but maybe it makes more sense to get fit for an Epic and save the money?

Any word on a price yet

Why? To see how far he can miss a fairway with it?

Rick said after one of the shots " that probably just missed the fairway." 20 some yard off line and assuming he was aiming down the middle of the fairway and he thinks a 20 yard hook just missed the fairway? WTH does he normally play?

Interesting how the regular Rogue is much more longer looking than the SZ. The SZ reminds me a lot of the shape of the 917, much more circular and rounded looking.

Rick said afyter one of the shots " that probably just missed the fairway." 20 some yard off line and assuming he was aiming down the middle of the fairway and he thinks a 20 yard hook just missed the fairway? WTH does he normally play?

Trackmanitis. Some of these youtubers are so blinded by Cinema screens and laptop data, they forget imo real golf.

One of the reasons I like to see reviews also actually out on a golf course, where they are designed to be played.

That was pretty disappointing. Seems pretty clear that Shiels felt like he had to throw some Rogue content out there to keep up with other reviewers but didn’t have time to do a proper job of it.

I used to buy and sell clubs constantly. The garage was always full of golf boxes. I finally realized that for the most part new clubs don't make THAT much of a difference (unless you are playing something quite old).

For me to purchase something new now, it has to have a real WOW! factor.

Not seeing anything to indicate that it's an upgrade to epic.

Well, considering average fairway width is about 35 yards, I can certainly see why he said that.

35 divided by 2 is 17.5. He was 21 yards offline. He has 35 yards ( your number to hit it in and still missed by that much and used the word "just". He should know his shot shape by now which gives him the majority of the FW to hit. I like Rick but he has a bad habit of downplaying his bad hits.

"Thats crushed! A little fadie." 25.3 yards offline.

"My usual shots, a little draw a little fade"

Those arent "little" misses. My handicap would skyrocket if that was my "little miss".

I’ll continue to play my 16 M2, no driver can seem to beat it.

Just checked out Rick S reviewing the XR16 2 years ago and getting it 10 yards further out there than this, or the Ping g400.

Starting to sink in.....

hard to determine if you’re arguing for or against your original statement with that math. if he’s got 17.5 yards left and hits a 20 yd hook, by my math he’s about 2.5 yards off the fwy. that sounds like “just missed” to me....

In person the size looks good, very reasonable.

 

Do you consider the Epic reasonable?

I do

This is how he is doing all of his reviews now. Said so with the Taylormade drivers. He is basically stretching out as many videos for one product line as possible.

Is the Aussie dude a long drive guy? He absolutely smashes the ball, pretty accurately too.
