This driver measures about 44 1/2" The Callaway Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS driver is well-designed for the better player. Lower launch and spin. Compact head. Sacrifices some forgiveness. Introduction For the last couple years, Callaway’s Triple Diamond driver heads have come to retail late after strong consumer demand. For the 2022 Rogue ST line, Callaway is launching the Triple Diamond LS driver along with its three brothers, the Max, Max LS, and Max D. True to its Tour nature, the Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS is designed to be the lowest spinning model with a neutral-to-fade bias, and a smaller 450cc head. I tested one to see how it fares in the hands of a decidedly non-Tour golfer. Looks At a glance, there’s nothing about the Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS driver that sets it apart from the other Rogue ST drivers. It has the same matte black, carbon fiber fade crown with a thin band of gold at the trailing edge. The focal point of the sole is a golden Tungsten Speed Cartridge near the back of the head. A second look at the sole reveals one notable difference: a weight near the center of the face. The major difference between the Triple Diamond LS and the other models is the size. Standing on its own, the Triple Diamond LS looks compact but not scary small. Next to the Rogue ST Max LS [review HERE], it’s a bit shocking that it’s only 10cc smaller. The Triple Diamond LS is noticeably shorter from front to back. Also, the face looks taller and more tapered toward the bottom. Aesthetically, this is absolutely the driver that better players are going to want. Sound & Feel I loved the whisper-quiet impact of the Rogue ST Max LS, and I found that same sound in the Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS driver. Contact creates a “thump” which is a stark contrast to the metallic tones many drivers produce. Your hands are going to receive most of the feedback on strike quality with this club. Because it’s so quiet, you won’t hear obvious differences between pure strikes and mishits. Thankfully, the Triple Diamond LS communicates impact location very clearly through feel. Performance The Callaway Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS driver met all my expectations while still impressing me with how much forgiveness is packed into a smaller head. Per Callaway, the Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS is the lowest spinning model. They also state that it’s slightly higher launching than the Rogue ST Max LS. For me, the Triple Diamond LS was slightly lower launching and lower spinning than the Max LS. Neither difference was huge, but together they created a more penetrating ball flight. The Tungsten Speed Cartridge in the Triple Diamond LS is the lightest of the four Rogue ST drivers at 20 grams. This savings is put into a round, adjustable weight near the face which optimizes the CG while detracting slightly from the forgiveness. For a smaller, Tour-style head, the Triple Diamond LS does an impressive job of retaining ball speed on mishits. That said, it was easy to see in testing on my Foresight GCQuad that it is not as forgiving as the other Rogue ST drivers. My one other note is that this driver felt more workable than the other Rogue STs. Callaway sometimes refers to the Triple Diamond LS as Neutral, sometimes as Neutral-Fade. For me, it was definitely the easiest Rogue ST to fade. That said, I’m happy to acknowledge this could be a placebo effect from looking at the smaller head. Either way, the results were clear. Players who want to shape their tee shots should give this driver a try. Conclusion For faster swingers who value looks and workability over maximum forgiveness, the Callaway Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS driver is a great choice. Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green shaft The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green shaft, AKA “The Hulk,” is designed to handle the fastest, most aggressive swings. Produces low, penetrating drives. Very accurate. Introduction The second generation of Project X’s HZRDUS line, HZRDUS Smoke, has raised the bar for dropping spin. The HZRDUS Smoke Black, has proven to be a favorite among strong, aggressive players seeking more control. With the release of the HZRDUS Smoke Green, Project X is taking that to even higher levels. Billed as the stiffest HZRDUS yet, “The Hulk” promises to keep up with the fastest swings. LooksUntil now, every shaft in the HZRDUS line has been pretty tame in terms of looks. If you like that, the HZRDUS Smoke Green is available in a traditional Smoke Grey. For those seeking more flash, check out the Gamma PVD finish seen in these pictures. As cool as it looks on your screen, I guarantee it’s better in person. The majority of the shaft is a shiny green, but near the tip you get blues, purples, and even a hint of orange. The branding on the HZRDUS Smoke Green is in line with the rest of the family, but with bolder colors. I love the bright green that “HZRDUS” and “Smoke” are written in. The hazmat placard near the butt gives the shaft’s specs. This model is also one of Project X’s Small Batch family, so that branding is there too, in an iridescent silver. FeelJust a few swings with the HZRDUS Smoke Green had me turning to my thesaurus to look for synonyms for “stable.” Solid, steady, secure, strong, stout, sturdy, substantial, and, my favorite, immovable, all apply equally well to The Hulk. This is a shaft that is simply not impressed with your puny swing. If you think that sounds like the HZRDUS Black, you’re not wrong, but The Hulk takes it up a notch. I could not get this shaft to bend or kick noticeably no matter how aggressively I swung. What makes The Hulk appealing is that, as strong as it is, it doesn’t feel harsh. Paradoxically, this uber-stiff shaft had me swinging within myself because I knew that even my most violent efforts couldn’t make this beast kick. I felt very connected to the club head and knew that I would get whatever result my swing deserved. PerformanceHaving tested most of the HZRDUS shafts, I had a pretty clear idea what to expect from the HZRDUS Smoke Green. I anticipated low spin, low launch, and excellent accuracy. The Hulk delivered on all counts. What stood out right away was the low trajectory. I’ve been driving the ball well lately and getting back to my higher launching ways. The Hulk knocked several degrees off my launch angle and flattened the trajectory. If you play in heavy wind or on fast fairways, this is absolutely the shaft you want in your driver. I was able to adjust my swing to launch some drives higher, but this shaft’s default is low bullets. Due to the low spin, the HZRDUS Smoke Green likes to hit straight shots. There were some pushes and the occasional pull, but my drives curved very little. With considerable effort, I could hit cuts, but I could not get this shaft to draw. ConclusionThe HZRDUS Smoke Green does exactly what Project X claims: it handles the fastest, most aggressive swings and allows golfers to hit low launching, low spinning shots. No matter how angry you are when you swing, The Hulk can keep your drives in the fairway. Purchase includes head cover shown in pictures driver measures about 44 1/2"
