Sub 70
699 Pro
The Sub 70 699 Pro is a players distance iron released in 2020, designed for mid-handicappers (typically 8–18 HCP) who want the look and feel of a players' iron with added distance from a hollow or partially hollow construction. These irons bridge the gap between workability and forgiveness. The 2020 model's 7-iron is lofted at 31°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

Technology
About the Sub 70 699 Pro
The Sub 70 699 Pro features a hollow or semi-hollow construction that allows for a thinner, faster face and lower CG while preserving a players' address profile. Technology from the game-improvement category meets the aesthetic of players' irons. At impact it delivers energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer.
Loft Analysis
The Sub 70 699 Pro's 7-iron is lofted at 31° — near-traditional — close to the classic 32–34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 147–157 yards. The 5-iron (24°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 44.5° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50–52° gap wedge.

- ✓Golfers currently in game-improvement irons who are ready to step up
