Hey @GolfSub70  We are hosting a demo day at our course in a few weeks, from what I understand one of the first in the entire area to do so.  We'[re excited abou tit.

Just in the two days since it's been announced on our FB page, I have had more people ask me "What is the Sub 70 all about" in that time than I have in 5 years.   So that's exciting, to be able to share the store with them.

And to help promote and build the hype around it I figured why not go ahead and orde my very first "senior age appropriate driver"  LOL.....Looking forward to putting this to the test in my CG2 Driver Shootout thread.

 

Awesome! Thanks for talking about Sub 70 and what we're doing. If you need anything for the event or otherwise just let me know.

I was one of the MGS testers for the Sub70 Fairway woods last year, and remain very impressed with the 5-wood I tested.  I'm considering changing out my 5-year old driver, and have just ordered a Sub70 849 Pro driver through their demo program.  I'll have 10 days or so to evaluate the club.  If I send it back, the total cost to me will be $20, if I keep it its just $200.  I haven't read this whole thread, and haven't heard a lot about their drivers, so I'll so my best to report back my impressions.

And just like that, the driver showed up on my doorstep this afternoon.  It looks like I'll have a decent week or so of weather to play on the course with it, and there's a nearby indoor Trackman facility if I decide I want to see numbers.  New toys are fun!

That is exciting, new clubs, especially a driver, are always a fun thing.  Let us know what you think and how it performs.

I posted this on the Sub 70 Facebook Page but I figured that I would share it here also.....

Ladies and Gentlemen….and anybody else that cares….I had my fitting, with Neal Golyshko, last night. What a majestic experience!!!!!! Neal is so friendly and puts you at ease. God knows that he’s seen plenty of good swings and plenty of bad swings….and it’s probably hard to keep dealing with hacks like me…yet keep a smile on his face.

The Seventy is as professional as it comes with regards to location and ambience.

Anyway….what I really appreciated is the fact that Neal tried to help me, instead of just selling me something. He saw two fairly minor things, in my swing, that I had just gotten lazy with over the years. I made those two small corrections and I am now ready for Q School (that is sarcasm, by the way).

Seriously….by identifying two small flaws, I improved things all around. Now I just have to remember them.

I also had the opportunity to meet Cody Varga…and put a face with a name. Cody has been helping me, over the last year, via phone/email but he actually gave me a one on one tour of the business side of Sub 70. Got to see the warehouse, where the clubs are built, etc., etc

An absolutely outstanding experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering the trip.

Thanks for sharing your experience.  If' I'm ever in the neighborhood I'm certainly going to go by and get fit, whether I need anything or not

I have my first Sub70 club (849 driver) on the way to me, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Couldn’t agree more. I have had 2 fittings with Kevin and it was a great experience. He took his time and helped me with my swing and all 4 clubs he fit me for have worked out great. The only drawback was only one of those fittings was at the Seventy. What a great job they did with that place.

I received my new TAIII wedge over the weekend and I am super excited to try it.  The first time I will use it is this week playing at Bandon Dunes! How is that for a first round?  Our group is playing all 6 courses in 3 days so I should get a really good feel for it over this week.  I ordered it hoping it would make it in time for my trip to Oregon this week and it is here, thank you Sub70.  It looks a as good as advertised.  The grooves look great and the initial feel and sound around the house are great. Can't wait to try it out.

Congrats! Sub70 wedges for sure look good!

Have my 699u in hand. It took 12 days from confirmation to delivery. Very happy with the price, looks and customer service.

Now to go get some swings with the thing and see what it's all about.

I purchased one of those a back in January and I have been able to play a few rounds with it and I love it and I am sure you will as well.  Congrats on the purchase.

If I love it too much, 699 pro black 6i-PW may be in my future. I think they look really sweet.

3 days (yes! 3) ago I saw a set of P.O. clubs on Sub70 website that match what I had wanted to custom order. Enticed by the 20% off on pre-owned clubs and apparel for Masters week, I jumped on them hoping to get them by Easter and pondering how I'm going to sneak out of brunch for 3 hours.

It is 3 days exactly since they got my confirmation (@8pm est) and not only did I receive them, they came 11am today so I gave them a wire brush bath and am already home from getting them dirty.

That smile on my face is a happy customer. Shot my personal best at the course I played today. The praise that sub70 receives is understated, imo. Above and beyond.

That is exciting to hear, glad to have you as part of the Sub70 family and fan club.  Just curious, which irons did you purchase?

[richk9holes]

@scubahoops I had a 699u 24° in satin finish with kbs tour v 90 black pvd steel R shaft already and 20 swings in I fell for it.

I added 699 6i-PW in the same finish, KBS black pvd steel R in a heavier tour 110 so I can try a slightly heavier shaft. I have Call. Apex '19 with the stock Elevate vss shafts and don't love the trajectory from the 90g shafts.

I had looked at buying these KBS black shafts and having them put in my iron heads, but it would cost about $350-450. 

The red/blue/white ferrule are a nice finishing touch.

Those ferrules are sweet. Like that hat as well!

K going against the grain a bit here.... 

Been trying a few different irons, and wanted to find out about Sub 70's supposedly upcoming new release of a new GI model .. the 749, I think. Been checking the website .. nothing.

Emailed customer service - got back a really bland, uninformative, generic and possibly auto-robo-generated response .. "thank you for your interest in our products etc blah blah etc".

Nothing about my question nor about the new product

Sorry Jason / Sub 70 .. moving on....

I looked over there and did see these on their website. 

Like you, I didn't see any news of an upcoming release. I think the newest thing as far as irons go was the updated (and very sexy) 699 pro.

Thanks for the message and sorry to hear that. In all fairness there is really nothing for our team to share on that product at this time. We don't have a release date, pricing, etc and our customer support team doesn't have a full overview of the product. If you reached out to any OEM and asked them about a future product they aren't going to share anything. I promise you if our customer support team had information available they would be more than happy to share that with you and help determine if it is a good option for you. We DO appreciate your interest in what we are doing but there just isn't anything to offer on that at the moment.

With you being a 20 handicap and what I have experienced with the original 699's, I think you should give the 699 V2's a look.  They are brand new and look fantastic and they may be a good fit in the GI area but still have a bit of playability.  The 799's are listed as Super Game Improvement and at the 699 V2's are Game Improvement.  

Just a thought from a Sub70 fan.

Thx for that! Did check the demos available for the 699 V2 but only .. currently, I presume? .. had options for Stiff, X Stiff .. I'm a Regular or Senior guy...

What that probably means is that the other shaft options are out being demoed right now but they work to get them back quickly.  You could message them and ask to let you know when they get the regular shafts back from a demo. Also, I know shafts make a big difference but you could try a stiff and see how the club head feels or even try a 600 Pro V2 with a Regular shaft.  Last, other than the feel of the demo clubs and the great service I received up to that point, one thing that sold me on buying from them was the 60 day guarantee.  

I promise I am not being paid by Sub70, though I wish I was or getting free stuff, but I really believe in and love the small companies and Sub70 is one of them that definitely does it right. That why most of my clubs are Sub70 or a smaller brand and even some of the balls I play are from the independent guys.

I second this. 

Just for reference...I am 53 years old and in pretty good shape, thanks to a career in the U.S. Army.  When I was playing regularly...I got down to a single digit handicap.  Now...getting to play less...I am just trying to break 90, when I get the opportunity to play.  

Played the original 699 Pro for a year.  Because of my satisfaction with that iron, I was immediately interested when the 699 Pro V2 came out.  I was so interested...and previously had such good luck with Sub70...that I decided to treat myself to a trip, up to Sycamore, and get fitted at Sub70.  The 699 Pro V2 is an outstanding club and works out just fine for me and sounds like you should consider it over the 799.

If you have the opportunity....take a trip to The Seventy, in Sycamore, IL, and let Neal Golyshko fit you.  He won't let you down. 

For me...that 8 hour drive, up to The Seventy, was well worth it.

[cksurfdude]

OK... @GolfSub70 - I officially eat my words from my earlier post!

Thx also to @sirchunksalot and @scubahoops and now @hawkdriver too for your posts ... so I went back to the Sub70 site and tried the Chat .. a short time later got an email that was *informative and directly answered my query* .. to which I replied back .. followed a short time after that by a phone call from a very friendly and very helpful live human person ... and so a demo 699 V2 with a Regular flex shaft is now on its way to me!
(..95g steel shaft which is not quite right for me but close enough for an in-hand demo!)

Humble apologies to Jason/Sub70 for my earlier whining and complaining - guess i was having a bad day and frustrated after a few other big customer service fails within a few days.... So thx to your people for helping make it all good again

So glad it worked out to get you some demo's.  I didn't want to sound too preachy, but I believe in Sub70 and I wanted you to get a chance to try it out for yourself.  The great thing is that you were able to get in touch with someone in both a chat and on the phone and they made a demo set happen for you, not really something you can get with the big guys.  

The same applied for me on the shafts, my demo set came with a different one from what I ordered but I got a good enough feel for the clubs that I knew how well they played and then I purchased a set with the correct shafts.  

I hope you enjoy the demo's and I am curious to know what you think.

Yes they are. We won't have it on the website unless there are heads available

[Golfspy_CG2]

So we had @GolfSub70 out at our course for a demo day yesterday.  
 

I hit the 699 and 699 Pro. To my surprise and much consternation I hit the 699 Pro better.  And boy what a great feeling iron.   I think I’f I had them built to my specs, they would be really special 

There was a steady stream of people stopping by to check them out.  As expected most had not heard of the brand.  And as expected most left very impressed. 
 

The rep took an order for a set of irons and a couple wedges I believe.  

[cksurfdude]

Got the demo irons today - 2 days after ordering!

First visual impression - these are much more GI-looking vs what I'd previously thought; eg that they are more "players" irons .. but for me this is a good thing.

Unfortunately the stock shaft is not quite right for me - TT Elevate 95 vs 60-70 gm graphite I play - but still excited to try them out!

Results TBD .. will report back....

[WaffleHouseTour]

Making the trip to Sycamore next week (8 hour drive but I’ll break it up w a round or two over two days so I don’t arrive all stiff).  

So much I’d like to see/try. I’m torn about what is right for me so have to just let someone fit me to what works best, not what I think might.  I’m ready to move off my single length clubs and figure this is the way to do it. Get fit for everything at once.  Thinking about two sets of wedges- regular bounce for playing at home, and low bounce for when playing at my home away from home at the Prairie a club and Landmand - the lies are so tight there.  But will wait and see what the fitters say…
