What Bridgestone clubs are you talking about?  Interested in the brand....

I had the Tour B JGR irons that I tested for MGS. I'm now playing with Wilson D7 forged, also tested for MGS. But, I'm looking at the 699's.

You should let me love those D7Fs when you move on. Ironically I was just looking at a set of used JGR H2s locally!

Kicking tyres and dreaming at the moment, but they're on the wish list.

My list of irons NOT on the wish list is shorter at the moment. Haha

I've still got my D7F's in the bag, but I do have a couple 699 Pros and some 639 CB's that I made a spilt set out of as my spare set. The biggest difference for me, is really probably the shafts. Having Recoils in the D7F's makes them smoother than the Sub70s with modus 105's. But I could easily game either.

Yes it was. My wife likes it, its an easy walk and there's only maybe two holes I would need a driver on. I loaned it to my buddy in the group behind us. 

Ha nice, I saw the Oregon location so I figured I'd take a shot in the dark.  I live in Wilsonville so I play there a lot.  I really enjoy that course and usually only bring iron's with me to work on my ball striking. Are you in the same area? @rbsiedsc is another local boy who I've played with. We should get a round together.

HAHA I am in Sherwood, rbiedsc and have chatted before on messenger.  Yes we should set something up we are close as I think he is in Beaverton.

I'd definitely have mine shafted with the same Catalysts I have in the D7F's.

Without rereading all 32 pages, is anyone gaming the utility irons, or 699/699U combo?

I have a 699/699 Pro combo set, but ran into someone with a Pro Utility at the range the other day. Looked like a nice club. I took a few air swings with it - he had a HZRDUS Black shaft in it.

I think the 699 Pros are quite forgiving themselves. The difference between the 699 and 699 Pros really comes down to offset, I believe. My 4-6 699s have considerably more offset than the 7-AW 699 Pros.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd go Pro 4 Utility, 5-AW 699 Pros.

Thanks @edingc I suppose I should just fire off an order on a demo set. 

I haven't been fit, and do not really know my swing speed so I guess I should just order the same flex that I am currently playing?

 

Edit: Nevermind, no regular flex demo 699s currently.

I have a 3U that I really like as a fairway finder.  I had the standard graphite Sub 70 Project X shaft and actually broke it twice.  They replaced it for free both times and we eventually settled on a Project X U-steel.  Its a great club and pretty easy to pick the ball off the turf, but it's best off the tee.  

I played 9 last night and it was incredibly windy.  I ripped one about 260 and out drove three of my playing partners (they all hit driver).  Highly recommended, but it is a bit of a specialty club.

I play the 699 Pro 3-iron. Bought it in the spring this year and subbed in the Modus Tour 120 shaft to match my irons. Course I play regularly is hazardous (putting it mildly) so keeping it safe off the tee is a must. 699 Pro works great and the feel is awesome. I've hit it off the fairway and out of the rough as well without issue. Really can't say enough good things about it.

Just call the owner Jason directly and ask him all the questions you need about shafts. One of the best things about Sub70 is the personalized customer service. Plus the clubs are great too.

I want to try out the new 799. I'm not exactly new to golf, I just started playing a lot more this last year. I think I could really benefit from a game improvement iron rather than my 716 AP2s. The price for a complete set is pretty amazing, but I want to swing them a bit before a purchase. It doesn't look like the 799s are even an option to demo at this point. I live in Ohio and have 2 lil kiddos, so making the time to take a trip to Sub 70 is out of the question (although it would make for a fun dudes trip).  Anywhere else I can give those bad puppies and try or anyone hear if they will be doing demos for them anytime soon? And any suggestions for a game improvement iron or SGI is much appreciated. I hit some TM SIM2 Max OS this week and thought they were okay, just a bit more expensive and not as many no-cost customizations as the 799.

As was mentioned above, email Cody.Varga@GolfSub70.com he's the demo guy there and may be able to hook you up.
