panhndl Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 SGI Utility iron even a thing? I can’t hit my 3/5/7 woods but do ok with my irons. I was thinking I might get a utility iron 20-22* area since my 5i is 25*. Anyway, I would prefer the easiest to hit over any other aspect. I’m a lefty so some options aren’t there for me and it makes it very hard to test clubs. My driver speed is about 95 mph or so.

Thanks I don’t know of any SGI specific utility irons, but you could just try an SGI long iron; they typically are lower lofted and might fit the distance gaps you are looking to fill.

GolfSpy_APH Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Taylormade has a few. The main one I am thinking of it is the Gapr. They had 3 versions the low, mid and high. All different shapes and varying flights. Good clubs overall. Cobra and Srixon have them as well, and not to be forgotten the Ping Crossover (I have 2 of these) all of which can be found in lefty. Hopefully that gives you a bit of a starting point! GolfSpy_SHARK, 202 and panhndl 3 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

None of these are hybrids. The gapr hi is more in line with one but the rest are all driving iron or large iron like clubs. panhndl 1 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

richk9holes Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) I'm about to take a 5i from TM burner plus irons to the range. I'll report back my findings. 20+ mph wind today should be a good chance to see how it penetrates vs. My 6i. It's a little older than what you're probably looking at, but the style might be close. Added: also, see if you can find a ping g700 or g710 in an individual iron at the loft you're seeking. I've hit my dad's before and think they are so buttery for the category. Update: hit 15 or so with the Burner plus 5i. Unfortunately it was going right on par with my Apex '19 6i that is shorter length and 1.5° weaker. Even pure strikes were short of where I can reach a solid 6i strike. The uniflex shaft is partly to blame and a slower swinger might have better distance results. To the guest bag with it.

I looked at the gapr club in the hi looked pretty much like a hybrid and that sort of reminded me to mention that hybrids just haven’t worked that well for me. The DHY looks interesting, too.

berkeleybob Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Heyo, I wrote this up over the weekend. Sub 70 699-U Review Sub 70 makes a utility club for lefties in the loft you’re looking for. You could try contacting them and seeing what’s possible in terms of demoing the club. richk9holes and panhndl 2 Quote WITB 2024 DRIVER AEROJET 10.5° | FAIRWAY ROGUE ST MAX 3/15° HYBRID G410 21° | UTILITY 699 V2 U 5/23° IRONS 699 V2 6-PW WEDGES CBX 2 50°, 54°, 58° | PUTTER KS1 BALL MODEL | PRO | SUPERSOFT BAG 3.5 LS | PUSHCART RV1S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richk9holes Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I was checking out now and see they sold. Sorry bout that.

When Sub 70 first hit this site a couple years ago, I remember commenting that they don’t have clubs available in LH, and they replied back stating as soon as sales were up they’d introduce it. They’ve been true to their word, and then some. But yeah, the used market is has been limited it seems.

richk9holes Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Had this thread in my mind, searching the sub70 site I noticed pre-owned sets of 699 irons in LH, a couple of them. From what I hear they're responsive to customers, might be worth reaching out and seeing if they'll sell you the 5i from one of the sets @panhndl Edited March 18, 2023 by richk9holes Added photos Quote Finding a way to turn birdies into bogeys since 1992. #TeamChunks '23 Forum Tester: Elixir Golf Ball WITB:TS2 10.5° @ 11.25° Tensei blue AV 55 R graph•917f2 15° @ 16.5° Diamana blue x5ct dialed 70 R graph•Stealth 22° Ventus red 6 (non-velo) R graph• 699u 2i 17° tgi 70 R graph•24° Tour v 90 black pvd R steel•699 6i-PW Tour 110 black pvd R steel• SM8 50°/08° @ 52°/10° SM8 stock steel• Jaws Full Toe 56°/12° DG Spinner TI steel • c series DW 2.0 slant neck stock steel•Phantom 2 gps•Tour v3 rangefinder•Elixir golf ball• Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richk9holes Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Or I know you said the irons are OK, but at that price maybe try out a new set for kicks. They have a trade program I think it would give me $215 for my Callaway '19 Apex 6-AW, to give you an idea of trade values.

panhndl Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 I contacted Sub 70 about demoing one of their utility irons. They don’t have a lefty one for demo but reminded me they had very customer focused “buy and try and return if you don’t like it” policy. 60 days to try and return if you don’t like it. At $130, it’s still one of the more affordable clubs on the market. richk9holes and berkeleybob 2 Quote Driver: Ping G425 Max 10.5 Fujikara Speeder NX 50r #3, #5, #7 fairway woods 1 Iron Golf 5-LW irons 1 Iron Golf Scotty Cameron Del Mar Lefties Rule!
