Tips for buying one used
- A higher-lofted 3-wood (15° to 16.5°) is much easier to hit off the fairway.

- Look for dents in the crown. Sole scratches don't affect how it plays.
Common questions
Is the Callaway Rogue ST Max 5-wood good for beginners?
Yes. It's one of the most forgiving 5-woods you can buy, built for beginners and high handicaps.
What handicap is the Rogue ST Max 5-wood for?
Beginners and 20+ handicaps. Best with slow to moderate swings (most drives under 240 yards).
Is a used Rogue ST Max 5-wood worth it?
For most golfers, yes. Club technology moves slowly, so a 2022 model at a big discount plays close to this year's clubs. Check the face and grooves, and make sure the shaft flex suits your swing.
