GolfWRX Spotlight: Sub 70 Golf

Published

Direct-to-consumer, or DTC, companies have thrived in the social media age. Sub 70 Golf fits into the DTC category, but in a way that companies selling razors and mattresses just can match—every single Sub 70 product is built from scratch entirely custom for the end-user!

The Sub 70 Story

Sub 70 is the brainchild of Jason Hiland, a golfer since his earliest memories, and someone who has been around the golf industry long enough to know that customer service is just as important as dialing in club specs. For Sub 70 Golf, it is just as much about the experience as it is about the performance.

Sub 70’s goal is to provide the highest quality clubs at the lowest possible price while also creating a community of golfers that love golf and identify with the idea of getting value from the people they are working with. Sub 70 operates on a slower product cycle because they believe fitting is more important than attempting year over year innovation at the sacrifice of having quality clubs sit on a rack for half the price they were originally sold for. As it has been discussed many times before, if a club has the proper specs, and was fit for the golfer, what is there really to gain year over year?

The Product Line

Sub 70 offers a full line of products from drivers to CNC milled putters. If you want a full bag of Sub 70 gear, it’s available to you. The driver is comparable to other models on the market by offering full adjustability, and the fairway wood line has both adjustable and fixed hosel options—to appeal to tinkers and players looking for a classic setup. The Sub 70 Pro Fairway is a standout thanks to its clean looks and hot 455 carpenter steel face, and although they haven’t pursued professionals for the sake of advertising, it has seen action on the PGA Tour Champions.

The standout in the line is really the 699 irons that come in both a standard and pro model (featured below) with reduced offset and black finish. They offer an extremely thin TPU supported face to provide maximum ball speed and feel, while also coming in at under $500 for a 4-PW set—a price point that no other OEM can touch.

The Sub 70 Guarantee

Even though they might not be “local” in a geographic sense, Jason and the entire team at Sub 70 golf want to hear from customers about how their clubs are performing and want to build relationships. They offer a 60-day, 100 percent satisfaction guarantee

“If for whatever reason, the player is not satisfied with any aspect of the clubs, the company stands behind its product and will issue a full refund.”

Each set comes delivered with a handwritten note from the individual club builder who assembled them along with a phone number to call if you have any questions or concerns about the clubs.

If you are looking for clubs that offer both value and performance, Sub 70 Golf should be very high on your list of must-tries.

It’s too bad the big guys have likely got patent lawsuits headed their way. Trying to kill them with legal bills.

Was in the market for new irons in September of last year and learned about Sub70. I went to pga store to get fitted for proper specs and then called Sub70 owner Jason. He helped me pick out everything with the proper specs and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I ended up ordering the 699 irons and a couple of wedges. I was so impressed with the service, clubs and price that I ended up selling my driver, fairway wood and putter and replaced them with all Sub70 clubs. I now have a full bag of Sub70 and saved a ton of money. The 699 irons are incredible. All of my future purchases will be from Sub70. Great company.

Another satisfied sub70 golf customer here. I love my 699s so much. They helped me go from a 10.2 to a 7.3. They are pretty much aim and shoot. They are so good I just gave up my RTX4 wedges and added 3 sub70 wedges to my bag. All I can say is phenomenal. Jason and the team are awesome & easy to communicate with.

I have the 699 4 iron, 639 CB 5 iron, 639 MB Plus 6-PW. Such a variety of good looking irons that range from game improvement to serious player’s clubs so it was fun to create a set of irons with a little bit of everything. It was easy to do, Jason was easy to talk to and very helpful. He answered emails and calls quickly, even took an order on a sunday morning which was awesome for a anxious impulse buyer like myself. I haven’t tried their hybrid/fairway/driver….yet…so I can’t speak to those, but the irons are top notch. Trying to convince my buddies to ditch their love for PXG and taylormade and play some serious irons that’ll save them some serious $$$.

I had the chance to meet Jason at the Chicago Golf Show this past winter and ended up buying three wedges. Sub 70 is the real deal and they really care about the customer, and their clubs are comparable to others from the big names. Hope to get fit for irons this summer, if we’re ever allowed outside again…

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
