Sub 70 TAIII v2 Forged 挖起杆

Versatile2026

Sub 70 built its name on selling clubs direct and skipping the retail markup, and the TAIII v2 Forged is the wedge that makes that pitch hard to argue with. It is a forged wedge in the versatile grind, which means Sub 70 aimed it at the widest slice of golfers who buy a 54 or a 56 and expect it to work off tight lies, out of fluffy sand, and on the half-shot pitch from 40 yards. The v2 is a revision, not a reinvention. Sub 70 kept the compact tour shape and tightened up the sole and the face.

What you notice first is the feel. Forged carbon steel gives you that soft, slightly muted sensation at impact that cast wedges struggle to fake, and it tells you a lot on partial shots where you are trying to judge how much ball you caught. The versatile grind sits in the middle of Sub 70's bounce options, so it is not the razor-thin low-bounce option for firm links turf and it is not the wide sole built for soft sand and steep divots. It is the one you order when you do not want to think about it.

Sub 70 is a small operation out of Illinois, and buying from them means no fitting bay and no wall of demo wedges. That is the tradeoff. You get a forged head at roughly half what the big brands charge, and you give up the ability to hit it before you own it. Their return policy takes some of the sting out of that, but it is still a leap of faith the first time.

简而言之

The Sub 70 TAIII v2 Forged Wedge (2026) is a versatile all-around wedge that suits most swings and turf. It carries a $150 MSRP.

About the Sub 70 TAIII v2 Forged Wedge

The versatile grind on the TAIII v2 uses moderate bounce with relief ground off the heel and trailing edge, which is the standard recipe for a sole that can rotate open without the leading edge climbing off the ground. Lay the face open for a flop and the wedge still sits low. Square it up for a full shot and you get enough bounce to survive a slightly fat strike. The leading edge is on the straighter side rather than heavily curved, so it slides under the ball on tight lies if your low point is reasonably consistent. The head shape is compact with a fairly thin topline and minimal offset, which is what you would expect from a forged wedge aimed at better players, and it looks smaller behind the ball than a game improvement wedge. Grooves are milled and the face gets additional texture between them to help friction on partial shots and wet lies. Sub 70 stamps its wedges conservatively, so the finish options stay clean rather than loud.

Who Should Play the Sub 70 TAIII v2 Forged Wedge?

  • You already play a forged or players iron and want a wedge that matches the look and feel at address.
  • Your home course has average turf conditions and you need one grind that handles both firm fairways and normal bunkers.
  • Buying direct appeals to you and you are comfortable ordering without hitting the club first.
  • You open the face on short shots and want the sole to cooperate instead of fighting you.
  • Skip it if you take deep divots and play soft, wet turf. A wider, higher bounce sole will serve you better.

常见问题

What is the difference between the versatile grind and Sub 70's other TAIII grinds?

Versatile sits in the middle. It has moderate bounce with heel and trailing edge relief, so it works square or open on most turf. Sub 70's lower bounce options are ground thinner for firm ground and shallow attack angles, and the higher bounce, wider sole options are for soft conditions and steeper swings. If you are unsure, versatile is the safe pick and it is the one most people should order.

Is a forged players wedge like this too much club for a mid handicapper?

No. Wedges are not like irons, where a blade will genuinely punish a 15 handicap on full shots. You hit wedges shorter and slower, and the miss on a wedge is almost always fat or thin, not off the toe. What matters more is bounce, and the versatile grind gives you enough of it to be forgiving on a slightly heavy strike. The compact shape is a preference thing, not a difficulty thing.

What lofts should I order?

It depends on your pitching wedge, which is the number most people forget to check. Modern game improvement sets have pitching wedges as strong as 43 or 44 degrees, so you might need a 48 or 50 first, then a 54, then a 58. If your pitching wedge is a traditional 46, you can go 50 and 56, or 52 and 58. Keep the gaps to four or five degrees and do not leave a ten degree hole between your set wedge and your first specialty wedge.

How does the TAIII v2 compare to a Vokey or a Cleveland RTX?

The gap in performance is smaller than the gap in price. Titleist and Cleveland have deeper grind catalogs, more finish and shaft options, and a fitting network that lets you test bounce combinations in person, and that is worth real money if you are picky about sole geometry. On feel and spin off a clean lie, a well made forged wedge is a well made forged wedge. Sub 70's argument is that you can buy two or three of these for the price of two of theirs, and replace them more often as the grooves wear.

How long will the grooves last?

Expect the same lifespan as any forged wedge, which is softer than cast. If you practice a lot from bunkers and off range mats, spin starts dropping somewhere in the 60 to 100 round range, and the wedge you use for full shots wears fastest. Sand is the real enemy. The upside of the direct to consumer price is that replacing a worn 56 does not feel like a major purchase.
