Bought a 5 wood and 3 hybrid for my wife.  She decided I shout send them back and she would keep he 10 year old warrior golf clubs.  They kept their word and gave a full refund.  However, Sub 70 is really a golf club clone assembler (Diamond Tour Golf  https://www.diamondtour.com › golf-components.) , who has their own heads made for them somewhere.  I have decided that buying last years clubs of amazon or hurricane golf to be a much better choice for the budget minded.  BTW I play cobras which are always on sale for  1/2 price when they are one year old.  I have found this company to be reputable but not a name brand club.  Just like Snell golf balls I am sure they have a few fans.

 

 

 

 

 

Clones of what? There designs are unique.

While misplaced/not true, I believe he was suggesting that because Diamond Tour makes clones, Sub70 is a clone maker by association.

This of course ignores the fact that many of Sub70’s clubs look like nothing else on the market. For example, the 659s are unique and fantastic looking (as opposed to unique but often gaudy looking irons produced by the DTC that uses the used car salesman for its ads).

I do take some issue with the idea that the 659's in CB or TC are completely unique though they certainly have some characteristics that help differentiate them from being a direct clone of anything. The similarities here may be purely accidental, but was something I noticed right away. The good news is that it just makes me want the 659's even more!!! I love these bridgestones and would love them even better with a pocket cavity in the long irons which is exactly what Sub70 offers in the 659CB!

I cant even lie. I ordered these new sub 70 irons last friday along with a fairway wood, and a putter. I feel like a kid on christmas eve. I keep refreshing my orders screen lol. I know they had said it would be closer to two weeks from order time, but a guy can hope right?!

I personally think this is the case across most OEMs.  While there are some unique designs as you get into the muscle back, players, players distance, and maybe some game improvement they tend to blend together from a look perspective.  I notice this quite often during most wanted testing when we are asked for subjective feedback When I think about looks my comment is they look the same.

Fair enough. Those did not come to mind when I saw the 659s…

They also look alot like the taylormade P7MC irons. The cavity looks very similar, but i wouldn't think that means that they completely clone. I mean, you can only make so many different looking cavities in the back of a club with limited room to work with.

I wouldn't have even known if I didn't game these J40's right now. Like others have said, it's not uncommon for irons in the players CB and MB space to share similarities. Without introducing tungsten into the equation, I'd imagine it's difficult to move weight around while maintaining feel and sound for a subset of golfers who are often very particular.

I'll also make note that some of Sub70's other designs are definitely more unique. The 659 MB is unlike anything I've seen previously which was also the case with the 639 MB, 649 MB Tour, and the TAIII's (which are right there with the 659 CB/TC's in terms of what I'd like to put in the bag from Sub70).

Going through the same thing. Went in and got fitted for a hybrid and fairway wood last week. I live close to them so as soon as I get the email I’m on my way. I check my email maybe twice a day but it’s a little more now even though it’s just over a week. I’m hopeful too.

The 949x 4 wood with the Sub 70 Project x shaft and the 949x 4 hybrid with the same shaft. I’m hoping to have them by my birthday next week.

I currently am rolling with Circa 2001-2002 Taylormade V Steel fairway woods and have been considering something newer including the 949x. Please report back once you have had a chance to swing them!

I absolutely love my pro in 3H goes dead straight and I can get that thing to go LONG!

I ordered the pro tour 5 wood and wondering if i should have gone with the 949x version instead.

NVM, now i remember why i went with the tour version. Flatter lie angle and toe weight. I hate the left miss with anything, especially a fairway wood/hybrid. Carry on

Just rcvd an email this morning that my shipment is on the way.

Just ordered the 949x pro 2 hybrid with even flow riptide shaft. Really looking forward to it since I’ve had a really difficult time the last 6 weeks with my 3 wood vs my 3 hybrid.

If I'd have known you were looking, I have that in my basement, hit 6 times and I just didn't get along with it. I really should throw it up here to sell.

Just got back from a Trackman sesh with the new 659CBs, hit them great, unfortunately the bozo at Golf Galaxy set it up wrong so the data didn't upload into my account for comparison but the 6 iron to 6 iron from my fitting looked to be a few yard longer on the 659s than the Srixons.  No complaints the clubs felt great and performed and felt very similar to the Srixon 7 and Apex Pro 21s I was hitting at my fitting a few weeks prior. The guys at Golf Galaxy were drooling over them a bit and asking a lot of questions about Sub 70 after watching me hit them (pretty slow day in there).    

No issue on dispersion either, saw a couple flyers that looked more like trackman data issues than real life, and the toe hits (my miss) only lost a few yards and generally looked playable.  Hopefully I will be able to get them out on real grass here soon.  But all indications as of now are these are the new gamers.

How long for delivery?  I just ordered my first JB Satin wedge today and was planning on a 2 week build. Is that about right?

The more I see of Sub 70 Golf, the more I see to like.

Spend sometime browsing the site and you will see what appears to be very nice looking clubs...in all categories.   And at very good price value. 

Also take note of the demo program.   I know many members here are always asking about such programs from companies.   Sub 70's looks very solid.  It's all laid out in plain language how it works and what they offer.  

Seems well worth the $20 to try out some clubs to see what you think.  

Here's a link to the whole site.

new level demo program charges $60 for a 7 iron that you keep. which i much prefer. a week isn’t long enough for a demo. i’m busy. i want to hit the club 3 separate sessions, with no pressure to make up my mind nor the stress of return shipping.

Correct. This Friday would make it 2 weeks from order date.
