Sub 70 built its reputation on skipping the middleman, and the 799 is where that pricing model does the most good. Super game improvement irons are the category where big brands charge the most for the least metal, so a direct-to-consumer set aimed at the same golfer changes the math considerably. If you have been shopping max-forgiveness irons and flinching at the number on the tag, this is the set worth a look.
What you get is an iron designed around one job: getting the ball airborne when your strike is nowhere near the middle. That means a wide sole, a low center of gravity, and a head that does not punish a thin one the way a compact cavity back would. Sub 70 slots the 799 below the 699 in their 2026 lineup, and the gap between them is real. The 699 asks for a decent strike. The 799 does not.
The honest framing is this. You are trading shot-shaping control and a clean look at address for height, distance, and a much wider margin for error. For a mid-to-high handicapper who mostly wants the ball to land softly on a green instead of running through it, that is a good trade. For a low single digit who likes to work the ball, it is not.
要点
The Sub 70 799 (2026) is a maximum-forgiveness iron for slower swings and higher handicaps. It carries a $540 MSRP.

About the Sub 70 799
Everything about the 799 head is oriented toward launch. Weight sits low and back in the sole, which pushes the ball up faster off the face and helps the long irons behave less like long irons. Sole width is generous, so the club glides through rough and soft turf instead of digging when your low point drifts behind the ball. Expect visible offset and a topline with some thickness to it, both of which come with the territory in this category. At address the 799 looks like what it is, and Sub 70 has not tried to disguise that. The head is larger than the 699, the sole shows more from the top, and the profile sits confidently behind the ball. Purists will not love it. That is fine, because the golfer buying this set is not looking for a blade silhouette. Sub 70 also does custom builds at no upcharge on most shaft and grip options, so the length, lie, and shaft you actually need are part of the standard order rather than an add-on.
Who Should Play the Sub 70 799?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers who lose more shots to thin and heavy strikes than to direction.
- ✓Anyone whose 6 and 7 irons come off too low and run out on firm greens.
- ✓Value shoppers comparing max-forgiveness sets from the big brands and wondering why the price gap exists.
- ✓Slower swing speeds that need help getting the long end of the set in the air.
- ✓Senior players moving out of a set they bought when their swing was faster.
よくある質問
How is the Sub 70 799 different from the 699?
The 699 is a players distance iron with a thinner topline, less offset, and a smaller head. It rewards a reasonably consistent strike. The 799 is a full step further into forgiveness with a wider sole, more offset, and a lower center of gravity. If your misses are scattered across the face rather than clustered near the center, the 799 is the right side of that line.
Can I try the Sub 70 799 before buying since there are no retail stores?
Sub 70 sells direct and handles this with a trial and return policy rather than a shop demo bin. You order a set built to your specs, hit them, and send them back within the trial window if they are not right. Check the current terms on their site before ordering, since the length of that window and what counts as a return has changed over the years.
Are the lofts strong enough that I will have gapping problems?
Super game improvement irons generally run stronger lofts than a traditional set, and you should assume the 799 follows that pattern. The practical effect is that your pitching wedge will not fit neatly under the gap wedge you already own. Sort your wedge lofts at the same time you order the irons rather than after, and get the bottom of the bag mapped out in one go.
What shaft should I order with the 799?
Match the shaft to your speed, not to what your friends play. Most golfers buying a super game improvement iron are better served by a lighter graphite or a soft-stepped steel than by the stiff steel that comes standard in a lot of stock sets. Sub 70 lets you pick from a wide list at order time, so use that. If you have any recent launch monitor data, send it along with your order and let their fitting team weigh in.
Will the 799 actually add distance, or is that just the stronger lofts?
Both, and it matters which one is doing the work for you. Stronger lofts add yards on center strikes. The low center of gravity and the face design add yards on the strikes you actually make, which is the more useful gain. If you are coming from a ten year old set, expect a meaningful jump. If you are coming from a current game improvement iron, expect a smaller one and more benefit in launch height and consistency than in raw number.
