Popular Post TxTwinDad+2 98 Posted August 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 I hope its ok that I keep updating I just wanted to keep those interested in Sub70 informed through my experience of my LH 699 Demos. 1. Ordered LH Demos 2. Received RH Demos 3. Sent email to Sub 70 expressing how disappointed I was blah blah you know the drill. 4. Received a call the next morning as well as email apologizing for the mix up and they assured me they would correct it at no cost in fact they will be refunding total amount when clubs are returned. 5. 3 days later received the LH clubs 6. I've played 4 rounds with the clubs and the bag and went to the range about 6 times. made a spreadsheet with the avg of the top 20 shots didn't see much diff. from my F8 to the 699 on distance except that the 699 were shorter on the 9i but longer on the 6i. Today I received a call from Jason on the way to work we spoke about my questions concerns the dispersion of the 699 was much better than the F8's but I was still concerned about the distance loss on the shorter irons. After explaining that the 9i would climb and then seem like it got caught in the wind Jason asked me to try to get some more info Club Head speed and Spin rate of the 4 clubs. He mentioned we may need to go with different shafts between Long and Short irons. So I guess you can say I have gone from being ready to ship these back and stick to my F8's to reconsidering buying the 699's. The service after the mistake is exactly what I had hoped for when I began this process of demoing the Sub70 699. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AcesAndHoles 31 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Had a thorough hit with the 699 demos Sub 70 sent me today. I have to say I had a similar experience as @TxTwinDad+2. I placed an order for the 699s and the 739 to test the difference. I received a call directly from Jason and he was kind enough to take the time to chat with me and answer questions about what I wanted to get out of a new set of irons since I'm in the market. Great experience there. Next I received a call from one of the staff to confirm my Order details which was really a nice touch from their customer service department. I happened to get some data earlier that day testing some player distance irons and decided to cancel my 739 demo order. No problem, they were on it. Voila, my clubs arrive beautifully packed in a snazzy custom Sub 70 box. Excitement ensued. The clubs were wrong . I received a complete mish-mash of clubs ranging from a 739 Pitching Wedge, to a 699 4 iron. No big deal. Wrote a quick e-mail and got a call back within 24 hours discussing what I ordered and saying they'd make it right. Well, the good news is they did. A new box arrived in under 48h (amazing) with brand new, wrapped and custom labeled irons. They threw in a really awesome Sub 70 hat as a thank you (I'm definitely rocking the hat). This was followed up by an e-mail saying that I could take my time hitting the clubs due to the mixup and just let them know when I was returning them for the appropriate shipping label so that it wasn't a box bonaza at the post office. Customer service 10/10. Really appreciate that they took the time to make things right even if we had a rough start. Initial impressions: Clubs are beautiful. Really nice style, simple and clean. I'd rock these in my bag any day and twice on Sunday if they were in black. If I bought a set, I would spring for the pros just because they look so good at address. How did they hit? Not bad. I really can't complain about the 699 clubs they sent. I was not a fan of the 739. Unfortunately I could not pull any data from the launch monitor today since there was way too much interference at the range with people walking around and crowded bays. The 739 pitching wedge had less distance than I'm used to and very little feel off the face of the club. My typical P goes 130-150y depending on whether I take a shoulder-swing or a full swing. I love hitting wedges but with the 739 the best shot I hit, perfectly square in the sweet spot went for about 135y. I found that I did not have a feel for the club through impact and where/how it would land. The perks of the club are that it's hard to chunk it due to the larger sole, and that the dispersion was pretty tight. If I played this on a course I'd be finding the green pretty consistently. The 699s on the other hand had a nice feel and decent ball speed off the face of the club. Launch was in a similar trajectory as my AP1 irons with a bit less distance. Feedback on the club was much better than I expected and I knew when I hit off center loud and clear. Forgiveness was there though even on intentional heel/toe shots. That's not to say the clubs aren't duck-hook proof. Swing poorly and you'll find some scary ball flight. Overall I liked the shorter clubs they sent but could not find a rhythm or consistent ball flight with the 5 and 6 irons. I didn't have the same feel and feedback that I had with the higher number clubs but that could be attributable to the 130g shaft I'm not used to playing. Based off this first hit, the irons definitely could be a fit for someone, but were not for me. I can't hit woods off the deck to save my life so I'm very much reliant on my long irons to get in scoring position. Without confidence in those mid to long irons my game will tank. I may give the longer irons another smack and report back, but otherwise it was overall a really fun demo and a huge thank you to Sub 70 for stellar customer service. 5 Quote Driver: Callaway Epic Flash SZ 9* w/ Hzrdus Smoke Black Irons : Wilson D7 Forged 4-P Putter: Odyssey Stroke Lab V-Line AKA the #FourPuttPrince.

ejgaudette 1,386 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It was great to see a review like that since they have not really gotten into sending clubs to YouTube reviewers. I know they have been getting into some MSG testing but it was fun being able to see some actually hit them. It confirmed what I think most of us have seen. They are a great option for budget conscious golfers that still want some top performance. 3 Quote Follow My Super Speed Progress Here Cobra Speedzone Extreme 9° Mitshubishi Tensei AV Blue 65 Stiff Flex '07 Burner 15° Reax 50 Stiff Flex 816 H1 18° Fujikura Speeder HB 8.8 Stiff Flex 816 H1 21° Mitsubishi Diamana S+ Blue 70 Stiff Flex I500 5 - UW Red Dot Dynamic Gold S300 Equalizer 52° (at 54°)/ 56° (at 58°) KBS Tour V 110 Stiff Flex Cleveland SOFT 11S Super Stroke Mid-Slim 2.0 Hoofer Bag Right Handed Link to post Share on other sites
mooremikea 448 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 TXG had a lot of good things to say about Sub70. All the clubs performed very well especially for the price point. If I were in the market for new clubs Sub70 would be on my list. When I replaced my irons last year the 699 pro was not yet available but if it was, they probably would have been in my bag. 4 Quote Driver - Ping G410 Plus 10.5 - Ping Tour 65 Stiff 4 Wood - Callaway Rogue - Project X Evenflow blue 6.0 Hybrids - Titleist 818 H2 - 3(c-1) and 4(c-4) - Tensei CK Blue 70 stiff Irons - Callaway Apex CF 16 5-AW - True Temper XP 95 Steel Stiff Wedges - Ping Glide 54 SS, 58 TS Putter - Edel e1 Torque balanced Indianapolis 5.5 Index Link to post Share on other sites

I asked because I ordered the regular 699 demos a few months ago and the finish on the back and top line was dull and inconsistent. Of course, being demos, there's no telling what abuse they had suffered. 1 Quote 14 of the following: Ping G400 Max Cobra King F9 Speedback 3 wood Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees Taylormade M4 5 hybrid Callaway Mavrik Max 6-GW PXG 0211 5-GW PXG 0211 sand wedge bent to 53 degrees Maltby M Series+ 54 degree Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree Ping Sigma 2 Anser Link to post Share on other sites
