Sub 70 799's, for my high HC wife?

Tess · July 5, 2022

Hello MGS Members,

Looking for any comments, advice and hopefully a review or two regarding these super game improvement irons from Sub 70. They have no reviews on their website so I'm reaching out to see what I can find.

My wife golfs infrequently and needs help getting the ball airborne with her irons. I've been looking at Cleveland Launcher Halo's, Cobra T-rails etc. but recently stumbled onto Sub 70 through MGS hi-lights and am intrigued with these 799 irons. Sub 70 has a Canadian office in BC so it would be nice to avoid the duty charges as well.

Anyway, I'm not sure how the 799's would hold up in comparison to the runner up in the Super Game Improvement category this year, Cleveland Launcher Halos. They are pricier than the 799's but I'm more interested in forgiveness at this point.

I look forward to all replies and I thank you in advance. If any MGS staff have inside info on these, it would be helpful. Maybe this is a good topic for future Most Wanted, "Womens SGI equipment?

Sub70 makes great products and I would say they are basically at the same level as any major OEM. The biggest drawback would be resale value if you decided to sell them. I’d reach out to Sub70 directly, they should be able to answer any of your questions and based on forum feedback they have great customer service. SGI clubs are all designe for forgiveness.

you probably won’t get a response from the MGS HQ staff as they aren’t very active on the forum. As for Women’s most wanted, it would probably be difficult to get enough women to participate in the testing. They probably aren’t against it, but would need more than 2-3 testers.

I believe Sub-70 offers a demo program on most of their clubs - you could have them ship out a 7-iron (for instance) and then bring that into another store that has irons to hit and directly compare it against the Halos/T-Rails, etc. I've not hit Sub-70s (in any iteration), but based upon the feedback here in the forum and the few folks I've met playing them (I can't help myself but to ask how they like them), it's straight-up raves, so might be worth the cost of the demo.

Just a thought! Hope you both get out there and play together - my wife and I hit up a pitch-and-putt right after we found out we were going to have our first kid, and she's not been out since, lol. She said she liked it, but we've just not found the time to get back out yet. I'm LONGING for the day she says she's ready to try again.

Good luck, and let us know how your search goes!

I would order the demo and bring it to store like the previous poster said. I did that with my current irons. They weren’t thrilled at the store but they let me do. I would also talk to their customer service and let them know it’s for your wife so they can get you a good set up for her.

Haven't played the Sub70's. Pinemeadow has a knock off of these hybrid irons, if you are looking for a lower cost option. The new Launch Pad's feel really good too.

Check out the Maltby KE4 Max irons.

I wouldn't shy away from the Sub70's. My wife will be going there sometime this fall to get fit into some clubs. She currently games the Adams whatever golf Galaxy had on sale 10 years ago. She has a Sub70 7 & 5 woods and love them. She was fit at their facility in ILL.

Good luck in your search.
