Along with the regular game improvement irons in a range Callaway Golf always launches a better player’s set for golfers with mid to low handicaps.
In the case of the Rogue range the Rogue Pro irons continue this trend and offer a slightly more forgiving option of irons for better players with slower swingspeeds, with the biggest emphasis of these irons on distance.
Many of the design features found in the already reviewed regular Rogue irons have been carried through to the Pro version, however there has been some minor tweaks to the clubheads that makes them more suited to the better player ensuring you get both the distance and control necessary to shoot low scores.
Callaway Rogue Pro Irons
Our Assessment
This is a seriously great set of workable game improvement irons. This category has always struggled to garner much popularity due to many better players choosing to go the forged iron route, however this set provides enough feel and control while also offering some extra distance per iron especially for those who don’t possess what these days is considered ‘tour level’ swingspeeds.
It’s also great that the Rogue Pro irons are available as a traditional set of 3-PW with the option of also purchasing a matching gap wedge for the set.

Callaway Rogue Pro Irons Detailed Review
Design & Appearance
As explained above the Rogue Pro irons use many design elements taken from the regular Rogue irons that are there to improve the distance and forgiveness of these clubs.
In the case of both sets these elements do make a big difference making them some of the best performing game improvement irons on the market.
However, when it comes to being a better player’s clubhead design the Rogue Pro irons aren’t what you would really consider as compact.
They are still quite chunky compared to many other mid to low handicapper game improvement irons.
Build Quality
Rogue Pro irons are packed with technological design elements that enhance the playability of the set for mid to low handicappers.
As mentioned before these irons feature many of the same design features as the regular Rogue irons, but in a more compact clubhead with small adjustments made to allow for more workability.
All of the materials used in the construction of the Rogue Pro irons are premium grade to ensure great performance and durability.
Control & Performance
Rogue Pro irons make use of 360 Face Cup technology and Variable Face Thickness, the same features found in Callaway Woods.
These two design elements combine to create a larger sweetspot across the face area with thinner sections around the edge to improve consistency on extreme mishits.
It also improves the rebound ability of the face to increase ballspeed at impact and produce greater distance.
Internal tungsten weights have been used to place the CG in a strategic area so as to launch the ball higher with less spin to also help improve distance. Callaway has then incorporated Urethane microspheres into the clubhead that help to create a softer feel and sound at impact, which is said to give these irons more of a forged feel at impact.
The compact design of the clubhead with a thinner sole, topline and less offset makes these irons more appealing to a golfer looking for more workability.
Value for Money
You would have to consider the Rogue Pro irons to be on the slightly higher end of the game improvement irons price scale, but are still a few hundred dollars less than a forged set of better player’s irons.
And if you are in need of some added yards while still wanting some workability the Rogue Pro irons must be considered for testing.
