Sub 70 built its reputation on a simple pitch: club quality that hangs with the big names, sold direct so you skip the retail markup. The 699 is the iron that made a lot of golfers take that pitch seriously. It sits in the game improvement slot of their lineup, and by 2021 it had become the default recommendation on golf forums whenever someone asked how to get a modern distance iron without spending eight hundred dollars on a set.
The 699 uses a hollow body construction with a thin, fast face, the same basic recipe as clubs like the Titleist T300 or PING G710 that cost considerably more. You get strong lofts, plenty of ball speed, and a topline that looks manageable rather than intimidating. It is not a compact players iron and it does not pretend to be one. This is a club built to get the ball up, send it far, and keep your misses in play.
What makes it interesting is the buying experience as much as the club. Sub 70 runs out of Sycamore, Illinois, builds sets to order, and the founder has been known to answer customer emails personally. For a mid-handicapper who wants custom specs without a fitting cart upcharge, that combination is hard to beat at this price.

About the Sub 70 699
Hollow body construction is the core of the design. The face is thin and unsupported from behind, which lets it flex more at impact for extra ball speed, while the hollow cavity pushes weight low and back to help launch. The head is on the larger side with a forgiving sole, but Sub 70 kept the shaping cleaner than most clubs in this category. Less offset than you would expect, no bulky badges, just a satin finish and a simple back design. At address it reads more like a players distance iron than a chunky game improvement club, which matters if you are improving and do not want equipment that looks like training wheels. If you want something even more compact, Sub 70 sells the 699 Pro with a smaller footprint, and plenty of buyers combo the two, Pro in the short irons, standard 699 in the long irons.
Who Should Play the Sub 70 699?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers who want distance iron performance without paying big-brand retail prices.
- ✓Players who like the forgiveness of a game improvement head but want a cleaner look at address than most clubs in the category.
- ✓Anyone interested in custom-built sets, since Sub 70 assembles to order with a wide range of shaft and grip options at little or no upcharge.
- ✓Improving golfers who plan to blend sets, pairing these long irons with the more compact 699 Pro in the scoring clubs.
Câu hỏi thường gặp
Is the Sub 70 699 forgiving enough for a high handicapper?
Yes. The hollow body, wide sole, and perimeter weighting put it firmly in game improvement territory. It is more forgiving than it looks, and the cleaner shaping should not scare you off. If you struggle badly with contact, the larger 799 model offers even more help.
How does the 699 compare to the 699 Pro?
Same hollow body concept, different size. The Pro has a smaller head, thinner topline, and less offset, aimed at lower handicaps or players who prioritize looks and control. The standard 699 is longer and more forgiving. Many golfers combo them, with the 699 in the 4 through 7 irons and the Pro in the short irons.
Are Sub 70 irons actually good quality for the price?
The heads come from the same class of overseas foundries the major brands use, and build quality reviews have been consistently strong. You are mostly saving on marketing and retail margin, not materials. The tradeoff is you cannot walk into a shop and hit them first, though Sub 70 offers a demo program.
What handicap range is the Sub 70 699 best suited for?
Roughly 10 to 25. Better players tend to prefer the 699 Pro or Sub 70's forged options, and golfers well above 25 may benefit from the max forgiveness of the 799. The standard 699 covers the wide middle of the market.
Can I order the 699 with custom shafts and lie angles?
That is the whole point of the brand. Every set is built to order in Illinois, and you can specify shaft model, flex, length, lie angle, and grip when you order. Most stock shaft options carry no upcharge, and turnaround typically runs a week or two.
