I’ve had my forged MacGregor VFoils for I believe about 13 years. Felt it was time to try something new. I got some new Callaway Rogue graphite S 5-P and the 2 and 4 Rogue Hybrids in stiff. I’ve only played nine holes, today, but right out of the Gates I’m very impressed. My MacGregor's, when I hit them pure we’re a pretty sweet feel... but not consistent. The Rogues have a totally different feel and sound.  Consistent but more forgiving I’d say. And they seem to fly a tad further. I like the feel of graphite. Light and something very forgiving about them. As for the hybrids— dare I say they’re easy to hit? Yes. And I’ve never said that about a club. Especially the 2H. It’s a rocket. In only two hours I can tell the hybrids will def be a game changer for my 18 HC game. They looks great. The feel great. They seem very easy to swing and play. I think I’m in store for e very happy relationship with my new stocks. Just thought I’d share. These clubs compliment my Epic driver, Ancienr Rossie putter and Vokies 52/60 and Cleveland’s 49/56. Hit em straight!

Congratulations on the new clubs.   Very exciting.   I've hit the Rogue irons during demo days and really liked them.

Super UB! Congrats mo. Lots of birdies, eagles upcoming with that Pic set.

You kept your old wedges too ai? What grips did you opt for Golf Pride half cord or ?  

 They are awesome sticks aren't they. Prior to my decision to update, I hit my buddies out of his bag on a 5 round weekend outing to Weaver Ridge. After that I could not resist getting ordering mine. UB I'm sure its the same with yours, with mine the ball flies so much higher and 10-15 yards further with that new technology than with my 10 year old Callaway graph Fusions i.e. 5 iron near 200 where I was getting 180's prior.

I haven't had a change to play a round with them yet but I'm confident you and I will be pleased with them. Myself I opted for the 60* graphite as well on my Xs with two wedges, where I opted to go black flat finish on those and updated the Rescue as well.

Holy smokes guys, they weren't shy about the price either @ $1400.00. Add their Driver at $400 and its like they saw me coming. NP its in the budget...

I'm sure it's going to take a little time at the rockpile crushing grapes to hone in on the new yardage with them for you as well. Thanks for pic and post.

 Enjoy'm and lots of luck with them.

I went wirhnrhe stock Lamkin groups but may change over to Winn DriTacs which I really like. My sons got me a 52 and 60 Vokie... amazing wedges. Will be replacing the Cleveland 56 with another.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
