Sub 70 Clubs

Well, I had my first Sub 70 experience this morning. Thanks to the Canadian Rep who drove out to meet me in -2 C / 40 F to hit balls with me off the frozen tundra into 50kpm winds!!

 

Tough to fully evaluate the clubs because I need shafts +1”-1.5” and 2* up, and these were standard, and the shafts were also too light.

 

First impression though was that the clubs all look better in person than in pictures, and they all performed pretty well considering the circumstances.

 

My favourites were the 639 CB and the 939 X 3-Wood, but unfortunately didn’t get to try the 699 U Pro Driving Iron that I’m very interested in as well.

 

Honestly, they didn’t beat out my TM P770’s, and the Srixon ZX5 would still be at the top of my list if I was buying new clubs today...but they are great value for the money and I love the service I’ve received so far.

 

The 3-Wood I like enough to order, and the 699 U Pro is very appealing too. All products good enough to give a hard look at for sure!

Did the 939x beat out the Pro fairway or did you only try the 939x? Curious if you hit both and how they compare.

Unfortunately the rep that I met with today didn’t have the Pro Fairway, so didn’t get to compare head-to-head.

 

The last 3-Wood that I had success with though was the Callaway Rogue, and the 939x has almost identical specs and feel. I also like the fact that it’s adjustable, whereas the Pro Fairway looks like it isn’t.

It isn’t. Some of us don’t like adjustable clubs.

 

speaking of... just ordered.

Anyone test the MB v the MB + ?  Is there that much of a difference.  Thinking of going with a cb/mb combo just not sure which MB to get

Have one and a visor on it's way to me now! Went with a 3h to replace my old 18 degree Adams... Ironically, I was striping my hybrid in the simulator today... I'll put them head to head and toss it up here soon!

Pulled the trigger on my first Sub 70 purchase last night!

 

I've got the 939X 3-Wood with Hzrdus Smoke Black 70 on the way!

 

Got to speak with Jason yesterday and really appreciate that the CEO took time out of his day to chat about iron shaft options, and the Canadian reps have been awesome too.

 

Really appreciate the service and time Sub 70 has provided so far, and can't wait to bomb away with my new 939X soon! Will definitely be looking at other Sub 70 products to fill holes in my bag in the future...especially if the 939X performs like I think it will and never goes right (no pressure)! 😉

Great experience with Sub 70. I ordered the 699U and love it. Actually had my first eagle of the year with this club. 2nd shot on a par 5 from 212 out. Hit it to 5 ft. This was only my 2nd round with the club. 

 

Unfortunately this happened during the 3rd round. Totally my fault. I was in some pine straw and didn't see the rocks and roots underneath. Doesn't seem to affect playability but dammit it sucks to be boogered up after 3 rounds.

That's a bummer...

 

I'm pretty excited to get my new hybrid in...

Yeah we do have some .355 taper heads in the 639 CB and MB models for anyone that is interested.  If you need those you would just have to give us a call or email us since they are not on the website.

 

Our head club builder has been steadfast that he does not want to shim people's irons for the reasons you stated.  While they would certainly work the large majority of the time, we don't want anyone to have issues with their irons due to the shims.  As far as I know we'll always try to keep some taper heads of the forged stuff on hand though for anyone that prefers shafts that only come in the .355 diameter

 

 

Any news on .355 taper tip 649 MB Tours?

[RyKnocks]

So I just got back from a range session to try out the 699 demos and here’s my takeaway:

 

- Current Gamers: Callaway XR Pro w/ KBS Tour 90v Stiff

- Demo: 699 with KBS Tour 90v Regular (my swing speed has slowed down a little)

 

- The 699 were a lot more forgiving across the face. Toe and thin shots weren’t as penalizing, and still had a soft feel to it. 

- Comparing pure shots on both, the XR Pros launch a bit higher and I get 5 more yards out of them. 

- What sold me was how much easier the 6i was to hit over my current 6i gamer. I’m far from a good golfer (I’m a competent golfer), and long irons give me the most trouble. The 6i was far better than my XR Pro 6i in terms of ease of use. It was confidence building to say the least. 

 

I’m sold at this point but wondering if you guys could offer some advice. 

 

I’m a tweener that fits right in between regular and stuff. Could you recommend a shaft that fits into that tweener category that could also make up for the loss in height a little? I’m eager to hear your suggestions.

Have them extra tip trim the regulars?

I am like you. When I went for a fitting at Sub 70 Jason decided to hard step my irons. It has really worked out for me. When I’ve tried my old irons since I got my Sub 70s which are a  regular but aren’t hard stepped I definitely don’t like them as much as I once did.  I’m sure if you contact Jason he could explain better than me how it works.

Which shafts did you end up going with?

I switched from the Callaway Mavriks to 699 Pros, and I found the Pros even just as forgiving as the frickin' Mavriks, but so much more controllable.  I've also lost about a half club in distance vs. my Callaways, but that's a sacrifice I was more than willing to make because I'm hitting more greens than ever.  It's amazing how easy these Sub70s are to hit on-target.  I'm getting GI iron-level forgiveness with player's iron control.

 

I'm also a "tweener," and after talking to the guys at Sub70 they recommended going KBS Tour 120 with a soft step for me.  Give them a call and talk to Jason, and he will be more than happy to talk you through the right shaft for you.  I'm guessing something like the KBS Tour 105s R flex with a hard step, but they're the experts who will be able to get you dialed in.

Like others have said just email Jason he is great at getting the best shaft for you. I have KBS Tour 90s in my irons and 669U I picked up recently. I need lighter shafts because of some physical issues but that may not be best for you. Don’t worry about about emailing Jason because he’s the owner. Just put as much information as possible in the email and usually fairly quickly he will give you a call.

Any word on new lefty options from Sub70? I know they offer the 699 irons for lefties, but have never seen anything else available. Just wondering if I’ve missed anything, or if there’s any news on more lefty options coming soon.

[jmagri78]

@eric61As a fellow lefty, I had the same question. I talked to Jason last week to discuss specs on the 699 irons I ordered and he said more lefty options probably won't be in the product line until next year. The good thing is there are plans to expand the lefty selection, so I guess we will just have to wait. I would love to add some more products from Sub70 to the bag as well

[JoeFrigo]

played the 639 MB's 2 summers ago and loved them...... just ordered the new 649 Tour Raw!!! 

 

As long as you dont care about resale value (which you shouldn't), it makes so much sense to go with sub70. The irons are as good as anything out there. $644 for forged irons is a steal. Also a nice bonus is the golf pride align grips are only additional $35 for 7 clubs

If you liked your demo I would just stick with it.  A too stiff shaft is never fun to play imho.  Stick with the regular if your trying for more height or perhaps a hard step.

@JaySub70Thanks for the clarification Jay. That's some really good news for the LH community. I'm sure it will be well worth the investment to offer a full line of product offerings in LH. Lefty's are pretty loyal to companies that listen to their needs. Looking forward to seeing what comes out.

[kylesilk]

Got some 639 mb+ and a 699 pro in the 4 slot en route.  Also 286 50,56, and JB 60.  Raw on 56 and 60.  Mb+ won the demo against 639 mb and 639 cb.

Right now we have the LH 699 irons and 286 wedges.  The 286 wedges are pretty much out of stock I believe but we should have more LH heads in the next couple of weeks.  We should have LH drivers, fairways, hybrids and putters in the next couple of months as well.  As far as irons, we are planning on making most future iron models available in LH from the start.  Unfortunately any new iron models at this point are likely going to be 2022 releases...but we're getting there and planning on expanding the LH stuff when possible.  Thanks!

 

This is great news, thank you for the update. Any chance the 699U becomes available for lefties? I'll order one the day it becomes available, if so.

[jmagri78]

@eric61@JaySub70Same here with the 699U 19.5, so that makes 2 sales before they’re even release, lol
