Game Improvement Driver

Sub 70 doesn't sell clubs the way the big names do. The Sycamore, Illinois company ships direct, skips the retail markup, and answers the phone when you call with a fitting question. The 859 is their 2023 game improvement driver, and it follows the same playbook: a full 460cc head, no adjustable hosel, and a price that makes you double-check the listing.

That missing adjustability is the honest part of this driver. Most golfers set their adjustable hosel once, usually in the parking lot, and never touch it again. Sub 70 skips the mechanism entirely. You pick your loft when you order, the head gets built to that spec, and you go play. For a mid or high handicapper who wants forgiveness without a settings menu, that trade makes sense.

It won't have the tour presence of a Callaway or TaylorMade, and Sub 70 isn't pretending otherwise. What you get is the biggest legal head size, a fixed build done right the first time, and money left over for lessons or a better shaft.

• Mid and high handicappers who want maximum forgiveness at the full 460cc size without paying flagship prices.
• Players who set an adjustable driver once and never move it again, and would rather not pay for the mechanism.
• Golfers comfortable buying direct who like the idea of talking through specs with an actual fitter instead of guessing off a retail rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Sub 70 859 driver adjustable?

No. The 859 has a fixed, glued hosel, so you can't change loft or lie after purchase. That means you need to get the loft right when you order. Sub 70's fitting team will help you choose based on your swing speed and typical ball flight, so call or email them before checking out if you're unsure.

Who is the Sub 70 859 best suited for?

It's built for mid to high handicappers who want forgiveness first. The full 460cc head gives you the largest legal footprint and the most stability on off-center strikes. Low handicappers who like to shape shots or tinker with settings will probably want something else, and this driver isn't aimed at them.

Why is the Sub 70 859 so much cheaper than drivers from TaylorMade or Callaway?

Sub 70 sells direct to consumers, so there's no retail middleman taking a cut, and the company spends almost nothing on tour endorsements or big ad campaigns. Dropping the adjustable hosel also removes an expensive component. The savings come from the business model, not from cutting corners on the head itself.

What loft should I order in the 859 if I can't adjust it later?

As a rough guide, slower swing speeds and golfers who struggle to carry the ball benefit from more loft, often 10.5 degrees or higher, while faster swingers can go lower. Since the 859 locks you in, don't guess. Sub 70 offers fitting advice by phone and email, and getting a launch monitor session before ordering is worth the hour.

Can I try Sub 70 clubs before buying?

Sub 70 has run a demo program that lets you test clubs before committing, and their return policy is friendlier than most direct brands. Availability changes, so check their site for the current program details on the 859 specifically. At minimum, get on the phone with them, since their staff is direct about whether a club fits your game.
