I wonder what those "9T" and "10.5+" loft designations mean.

What is the triple diamond 'S' supposed to be vs the 'LS' which we know is Low Spin?

[Gtyler14]

Not a huge callaway fan but that stuff looks good. Curious to know what 9T and 10.5+ along with triple diamond S

440cc

What are those dots on the face? Checking them for compliance?

[AdamStoutjesdyk]

Ok Callaway has waaaayyy too many head options to keep track of this is a little ridiculous

Not really.  The retail options are 4 models.  All these other ones are tour only or prototypes which probably won't be available to the general public.  TM did this years ago also to get their driver count up on tour.

∆∆∆ S 10.5° looks pretty sweet. 

[noodle3872]

Max LS T looks sweet. And the standard Triple Diamond too. So nice!

[Barefoot_Golf]

Those fairways look fantastic.

[DuckHook02]

Standard triple diamond looks good.  I also like the matte carbon crown better than what TM is doing with their Stealth.

According to Johnny Wunder at Callaway

 

💎💎💎S (440CC, lower spin, deeper face)
💎💎💎 (450CC, similar to ES 💎💎💎profile with higher MOI)
MAX LS T (Same as retail except for more face progression and .75 more loft)

what do you mean by more face progression in the Max LS T?

The face is more onset or pushed closer to target if you are standing behind the driver at address. Think of it as the reverse of what offset is in irons and woods.

 Correct -  COR, coefficient of restitution testing.

Are most of the Callaway moving from the Epic to the Rogue?  Based on the WITB pics and what I've seen, it looks like they are.  That is saying a lot.

Appx. 80% uptake amongst staffers, which is is quite high this early, and lots of interest amongst non-contracted players. I've had one in play for about a month and have been very impressed. Looks, sound, stability, playability all noticeably improved over what was already a really strong line of stuff.

I agree.  I thought the Epic Speed was solid.  Might not be the longest, but performed.  What was your previous driver?

[bcflyguy1]

Played a Mavrik Max Diamond head for much of last year. Didn't like the sound/feel of either of the Epic Max heads, and Epic Speed was a little too round for my eye (excessive appearance of bulge/roll puts me off).

This one has my eye. Rogue Max LS "T" head same as retail except for more face progression and .75 more loft. Start line will be touch right vs the standard and will attract Ping driver players. 

 

Higher MOI and low spin performance of these LS heads seem to be making buzzz with fitters and testing. I am surprised they aren't getting more play on tour vs all the triple diamond variants. I predict we will see a shift as the year develops. Same thing happened to the Ping 400 Max and TM M2 heads. The higher MOI heads tend to make more bags as the year develops. 

 

[easyyy]

9t

 

[BagofToast]

I wouldn't hit that LS 3w very high 😅

[Studliness]

That triple diamond LS head is sweet.

Has anyone seen a Triple Diamond surface for sale?

Not S or LS, just 🔷️🔷️🔷️.

It calls to me something fierce.

 

Cheers

I've seen a few on Yahoo Auction. You need a japanese proxy like Buyee to buy from there, though.

A few on eBay just the prices are stupid

@JohnnyCallaway @JohnnyCallaway what is the difference between the adjustable triple diamond fairways in the Rogue ST (and previously Epic Speed) and the retail models? Besides being adjustable - are they shaped different or have different spin profiles? Are they comparable to the even older Mavrik Sub Zero adjustable tour only fairways - or higher spin?

 

Also are the 'T' models just for players who hit down on their fairways?

1) The adjustable 💎💎💎fairways have the same basic shape as the old sub zero fairways or bonded 💎💎💎's. Mots of the players on our staff prefer bonded because you can use the 10+ grams of the cog and put it somewhere else. 10+ grams heel side is not great for some. We did figure something out going forward though:) 

 

2) The Rahm head has camber in the sole to get through the turf, it looks like a deep faced three wood but essentially its not as the angle going to the back is quite substantial. It works well for players that beat down on fairways, really hard and its a mid spin head (in a general sense) I only really like it in the 5-wood as my AOA is steeper.

@JohnnyCallaway don't you keep saying that tour pros only get slower heads from the tour van?? Those heads look pretty spicy to me based on the CT stickers shown 🤔. Based on that, retail heads would have to be closer to CT250+ which I'd be very surprised with.
