Players Distance Hybrid

Sub 70 doesn't spend money on tour pros or Super Bowl ads, and the 939X is a good example of where that money goes instead. This is a players distance iron from a direct-to-consumer shop in Sycamore, Illinois, sold at a price that undercuts the big brands by a wide margin. The pitch is simple: comparable construction, comparable performance, no retail markup.

The 939X sits in the players distance category, which means it's built for golfers who want a compact look at address but still need help with ball speed. Sub 70 pairs a thin, fast face with a body shaped to look like something a low handicapper would bag. You get distance without the shovel profile that usually comes with it.

What you won't get is adjustability or a big-brand resale market. What you will get is a company that answers the phone when you call, builds to your specs, and lets you test clubs before committing. For a lot of golfers, that trade works out fine.

• Mid-handicappers who want a cleaner look at address than their current game improvement irons but aren't ready to give up ball speed.
• Value-focused golfers who'd rather pay for construction and custom fitting than for marketing budgets.
• Single-digit players who've lost some swing speed and want distance help in a shape they can live with.
• Anyone open to a direct-to-consumer brand and willing to skip the big-box demo day experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Sub 70 939X compare to irons like the TaylorMade P790?

The construction concept is similar: a compact head with a thin, fast face built for distance. The 939X won't have identical numbers to a P790 for every player, but it competes in the same category at a fraction of the price. If you're chasing the last yard or two, test both. If you're chasing value, the 939X makes a strong case.

Is the 939X forgiving enough for a mid-handicapper?

Yes, within reason. It's more forgiving than a true players iron thanks to the perimeter weighting and fast face, but it's not a max game improvement club. If you regularly miss the center by a groove or two, you'll be fine. If your misses are all over the face, look at something with a bigger footprint.

Can you get the Sub 70 939X custom fit?

Every Sub 70 set is built to order. You pick shaft, lie angle, length, and grip when you order, and the company will walk you through options by phone or email. They also run a demo program so you can hit a head before buying a full set.

Is the Sub 70 939X adjustable?

No. Like nearly all irons, there's no adjustable hosel or movable weighting. Fitting adjustments happen at the build stage, where Sub 70 sets your lie angle and length before shipping.

Where are Sub 70 clubs made?

Heads are manufactured overseas, like almost every golf club on the market, then assembled and built to spec at Sub 70's shop in Sycamore, Illinois. The direct-to-consumer model is how they keep prices well below the major brands for comparable construction.
