Lofts differ on 8 of the 8 clubs the two sets share. A lower point is a stronger loft.

What the differences mean

At the 7-iron, the Rogue ST Max is 27.5° and the Rogue ST Pro is 30.5°, a 3° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the Rogue ST Max should carry roughly 9 to 12 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the Rogue ST Pro. Across the 8 clubs both sets share, the Rogue ST Pro averages 2.2° weaker, with the largest gap at the 7-iron (27.5° vs 30.5°). The pitching wedges are 41° and 43°; the stronger one leaves a 9° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the Rogue ST Pro 7-iron sits 0.5° flatter (62.5° vs 62°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.

The sets are built differently: the Rogue ST Max runs 4-iron to SW (10 clubs), the Rogue ST Pro 3-iron to AW (9 clubs).

The Rogue ST Max is a game improvement iron and the Rogue ST Pro a players distance iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The Rogue ST Max is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 10 to 25 handicaps. The Rogue ST Pro trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head.

The Rogue ST Max is listed as investment cast, multi-material and the Rogue ST Pro as hollow body with a cup face and tungsten weighting. The Rogue ST Pro's hollow body lets the face flex more and moves mass low and outward, usually giving higher launch and more ball speed on off-centre strikes than the Rogue ST Max, at some cost in feel. Both use tungsten weighting to lower the centre of gravity and steady the head on off-centre strikes.

Both sets were introduced in 2022, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Callaway designed them to sit side by side for different players.

Which should you choose?

The Rogue ST Pro is the weaker-lofted set — up to 3° weaker than the Rogue ST Max. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.
