Smaller than my Forged TECs for sure, especially in the long irons. You don't see the cavity at address of like the 3,4,5

 

Slightly bigger then Apex Pros from 2016 or 2019.

 

Maybe the best comp would be the Mizuno JPX forged series. They remind me a lot of my 850 forged.

My 8 iron is starting to get some small rust spots----i'm more excited than a kid in some kind of a store!

[Barfolomew]

Does the 649 mb have the lowest amount of offset in the Sub 70 line?  How do you guys like it?

 

Ordered a test 8 iron from Arias zero offset and thinking of getting a 649 8 iron to put up against it....

Thought I'd throw mine up here as an update.  Purchased a 5-AW set of the 659 CB a couple weeks after they came out.  Played the 699's before.  Added the driver, 3W, 54 & 60 wedges quickly after based on many of the solid reviews.  Just ordered a putter so now it will be all but one club in the bag will be Sub70.  Couldn't be happier!

Bridgestone might not be considered a major OEM from an equipment standpoint anymore (Very sad since they made outstanding irons) but the older J40 irons are the perfect comparison iron.  They look alike and they feel very similar.

Can I bug you to post more pictures of the LH CB’s? I really want to get a set of these and more LH pictures might force me to buy them haha.

[localpar3guy]

Going based off the pictures above, they look just slightly long heel to toe. Not by much though. I’ve been on the fence of doing a full CB set, TC set, or a combo set. Only thing throwing me off is that the TC irons have a thicker top line but shorter heel to toe.

I demo’d the tc and didnt like the top line or amount of offset.

Question for the group: purchased this utility iron and wondering why when soled and hanging naturally it’s sitting dead shut? Just wants to rotate closed. thoughts?

Haven’t had a chance to hit anything from Sub70 so curious if anyone can comment on the feel of 659 CB/TC in comparison to, say, the Zx7’s?

Weird. I just did that with mine after seeing your post and it didn’t do that. I have a steel shaft in mine but I don’t see how that might make a difference.

[Rbsiedsc]

Is the 849D vs the pro driver really that much draw biased? Was wondering if the upgrade in forgiveness doesn’t sacrifice performance. 

[BostonWRX]

I ordered up a set of the 659 CB to try out. Did anyone else notice the weird offset in the mid/short irons? Long irons hardly have any but the middle to short irons look like they have a lot of offset. Stinks because I love the irons I would probably keep them instead of my srixons but dont think I can get over the look.

The website shows diminishing offset as the irons get shorter.

Certainly does not look like that in person

I ordered the 659 TC this week to have as a back up/winter set for my Blueprints.  If I don't like them my brother gets a new set of irons.  

[Bizzle80]

I am expecting a set of 659CB in black this weekend. was waffling between the TC and CB, but they didn't have the TC in stock so went with CB. Kind of worried about the offset now, but guys from Sub70 said it was only minor and pics on their website I couldn't really see the difference.

 

I guess ill see how they roll on Sunday.

Here are the 4 7 pw. To me there is more offset in the shorter irons compared to long irons. May just be the hosel transition. The irons tho are awesome. That’s my only issue

Anyone know how the 659CB compares to the Srixon ZX7 size wise? Blade length and top line thickness?

[Barfolomew]

Just ordered a 649 8-iron to test.  0.5mm offset thru set.

Have a Arias zero offset 8-iron enroute too.

 

Anyone put these up against each other? Heard good things about both... 🐈

DHL screwed up the Arias delivery from Canada..... I got some disc brakes being returned to Rock Auto in Illinois and Im in Cali.  So not sure when Im getting my club now lol just talked to Arias and might be a while

[statepgm]

Two questions. 
 

Anywhere in the Seattle area that fits for these? Maybe just Club Champion?

 

Assuming not, I’m playing the Apex CF16’s with Modus 120s in them. I’ve hit other irons since then but nothing that makes me want to take them out of the bag. I used to be pretty solid and could game a more players iron, but between work and kids that style of iron keeps me a low-ish single digit HC.  The only real issue is that they spin slightly less than optimal.  Any recommendations on a demo combo to try?

Always best to contact their customer or even shoot Jason the owner an email. They’ll steer you in the right direction.

Sorry the pics are terrible. I borrowed my friends ZX7 right before he teed off

 

[Bizzle80]

Just received new 659 CB set in black finish w black AMT shafts. They Look so sick.  
 

Can’t wait to hit them but going to have to wait til Wednesday. 
 

I was worried about offset on the CB vs the TC but doesn’t look off to me coming from AP2s. 

 

 

[drumdude96]

Those 659CB's look awesome. Too bad they don't have any shafts that are worth a dang. Will they sell just the heads?

[BostonWRX]

Any 659 cb vs 699 pro comparison/pictures? 

[Rbsiedsc]

I can’t stop building a set of CBs. They look awesome. I just can’t pull the trigger yet. I actually built out a whole set from 7w to 58* and it came out only $200 more than what I paid for my current irons. Someday I’ll pull the trigger.
