Sub 70 659 CB from a high handicappers perspective Hello all, a little background on why I chose to purchase and use irons that went against the trend of high forgiveness, larger iron heads for high handicap players. 2 years ago when I started playing golf I used an excellent set of ping eye2+, now I think most people who are golf iron nerds know that the ping eye2 is an excellent precedent of old irons that offer forgiveness and durability. I decided to get something new about 8 months ago and settled on getting DTC clubs to save some money. Sub 70 offered a wide variety of iron products from forged iron heads like their 659 offerings, or hollow body designs like their 699 series. This variety offered me the same flexibility that major pro line brands in type of club I wanted so I decided to do some digging on product research and really compare the pros and cons of different iron types. The first controversy I stumbled across was the issue of "loft Jacking", which depending on perspective isn't necessarily a problem. Still this issue is illustrated when comparing a seven iron of the 659 CB to say a Callaway Paradym X there are 32 and 27.5 degrees of loft. But differences in head types like this don’t end there, materials and construction also differ, these differences tend to center around offering high handicap golfers more distance and forgiveness, and in the case of (the 659 CB shot shape and feel towards low handicap golfers). This is obviously a big claim, more of all the good stuff, so naturally I am became skeptical. I will pause here to give some context to my golf game in particular. Like I said I am a high handicap golfer, but that doesn't mean the same thing for everyone. I don’t struggle for distance with my irons typically (7 iron distance is 164* based on arcoss data with 659 CB), by no means the longest hitter but not short either. Now the yardage I gave assumes good contact, so it includes mishits but not shots that were extremely thin or fat. Of course as a high handicap you have the right to question the rate at which good contact is made, but I personally felt my game with my irons I made consistent enough contact to allow me to choose any club I wanted. With that about my game in mind I wanted to find information on how loft impacts forgiveness, and possibly how club type affected distances. Based on what I found despite the increased moi club size of the high forgiveness clubs the lower lofts mitigated their increased forgiveness, while a players cavity club with higher loft offered better forgiveness sacrificing the distances. Also hollow body type designs had a wider front to back distance based on strike location compared the players CB. https://txg.ca/are-strong-lofts-better/ --- This video by TXG makes both points for and against the delofting of clubs but one thing that stuck out was that with a player with high ball speed the land angle decreased, and that wouldn't improve with lower swing speeds. https://www.golfwrx.com/143743/iron-lofts-alone-dont-create-more-distance/ --- an article on golf WRX advocating for adding loft. I will try to update with more evidence as I try to retrace my product researching steps Based on what I had looked into I settled on the 659 CB, so onto the actual review of my experience with these irons. I purchased a set from 5 to PW in a raw finish, I used the fitting tool on their website and it suggested 2 degree uprights and +1 length which agreed with some fitting data I had received while at a store, I opted for a stiff dynamic gold 105 shaft with midsized grips. The set was delivered in nice packaging with lots of goodies and a kind message from the sub 70 CEO. The performance of these irons are of course the question at hand. Have, I hit more GIR, or do I have more consistent Gapping? Possibly I will have to do more testing potentially on a simulator where I can export data slightly easier than looking at my arcoss app. But based on my last 5 rounds there has been about a 5 to 12% improvement depending on club for GIR. As far as feel of this club goes it is excellent, feedback can be harsh on my mishits but the sweet spot feels effortless when struck well (go figure). Turf interaction is excellent, I typically play in medium to soft courses in the Midwest and have had no issues through most turf aside from the deepest of roughs. Moving forward I would like to test out swing weight to know where the set stands and how it might be able to be tweaked. Additionally getting a simulator or getting a fitting would greatly help in comparing clubs. As it stands I feel that even as a high handicap golfer the Sub 70 659 CB is a great club choice.

Date 05/26/2023 Course Name Stone canyon golf club Gross Score 102 Course Handicap 29 Gross Strokes over/under par 30 Net Score to Par 1 Net Score 73 Net Birdies or better 1 Longest Drive 295 Absolutely stunning course. Stone canyon is an awesome course, and my favorite since moving to kansas city. Decided not to walk this round as the loop would've been just under nine miles! Greens and fairways were in excellent shape and pins were in a very challenging spots. Most of the par 5s are very gettable but a variety of hazards around the course make not making a fairway punishing. Hole 3 not shown is the feature hole. Overall fun round and I'm sure I'll improve my next round here.

Another new course for me. Good takeaways are that my minions were good. However my putting was very bad I had 10 3 puts and a four put this round.

Date 05/16/2023 Course Name Saint albans Gross Score 93 Course Handicap 19 Gross Strokes over/under par 22 Net Score to Par 3 Net Score 74 Net Birdies or better 4 Longest Drive 290 Played st albans a country course in Alexandria ohio walking 18. Overall I think this round went well considering I was traveling and had never played this course before. I played from their back tees which wernt too long a little over 6500 yards. Driving and some of my wedge play were strengths but putting and hitting more gir is a must for me to improve

I've been playing them for two rounds I haven't had many issues with mine in particular I do have one scuffing pretty badly but it just seems like the paint and not really the cover itself

Arccos is nice ... but is expensive In my opinion. I have the link and the club sensors initial setup and pairing is easy I've had a harder time swapping clubs out and repairing the clubs. The app is nice and I use it in place of a range finder it takes a lot of things into account and will give good context to your game and provides pretty accurate shot tracking with an occasional edit needed.
