  • The label 'Direct to Consumer' on golf clubs comes with a few stereotypes: like they are cheap, poorly made and just cant compete with the big dogs. The Sub 70 TA III Irons are here to prove that theory wrong. Are these some of the best better player irons of 2024?

    Sub 70 659 TC Forged Black Irons from 5 iron to A wedge! Just got them this summer and they’re fantastic! Plus they look cool! Great review as usual Al!

    Better player? Yes, these were designed for Tommy Armour III to play on the Champions Tour. They're beautiful and the one downside of DTC brands is that I can't hit them to see if I have the game to put them in the bag (I'm betting I don't since I'm playing off 14 right now). The 659 Tour Cavity are also a great looking set that I might be able to hit. Sub 70 is a great company and I've been playing the 699 irons, a hybrid, and two woods from them. On top of the heads, the available shafts give you the ability to create any flight or shot shape you want.

    sub70 wedges, putters and irons are top notch. Putters are carbon steel with adjustable weights and are about $200 cheaper than comparable putters from "other" brands. I used the 949x 4 wood this year with smoke black 70. It was unbeatable off the tee with a penetrating trajectory. Off the ground not so much for me but it's a little more shaft than I can swing without teeing it up. This company has amazing customer service. Unless you want 50 grams of tungsten in your irons, they're as good as anything IMO.

    Completely agree, DTC are not dead. Got fit into Mizunos, went online and purchased New Level 401 TC with the same shafts, same specs and same swing weight for a third of the price. Absolutely love what DTC brands are doing to the industry.

    Play the Sub70 699U 2 iron, 17 degrees with an Aldila NV shaft and it’s a rocket launcher. 250 yards off tee and forgiving, great driving iron for only $80. Friends call me crazy for playing a 2 iron 😂

    I had a set of takomo 301’s. They’re absolutely sick for the price. I’m not good enough to play them so I switch back to Mizuno hot metal pros. That being said they’re still REALLY high quality clubs for the price.

    Someone else mentions it in a comment but I'll say it here too direct to consumer isn't dead but it is oversaturated. There are brands at pretty much every price point, some of which are better than others, that all claim these amazing things and yet at the end of the day most people aren't going to give them a chance and are either going to play with their grandpa's old clubs or with one of the major brands because they've heard of them. The other problem with direct consumer is that people can't try them out but I know some brands (possibly sub 70 included) let you basically rent clubs to try them out.

    DTC brands are trying to price like big brands nowadays... Since thats the case, theres no benifits to buying DTC anymore, just buy in store and play same day. Also, trade in value on brands like PXG & Sub70 is trash, clubs are like cars, holding value is important.

      @@RobSquare good one you steal that from your local 3rd grader? DTC brands are flourishing at the moment and there is all the reason to buy from them. Quality is just as good and sometimes better for half the cost. You're telling me Sub 70 and Takomo are trying to price like big brands? PXG started off as a luxury club and we're always marketed as more until recent years so they are a different story. But seriously you're braindead if you think buying big box retail is better

    Traditionally I've never liked a chunky top line, I like the clean line like what clubs had when I was a kid.
    But nowadays I'm so used to clubs giving me a bit more help, that shot of the top of the blade literally made me gasp, and not in a good way....there was definitely teeth sucking going on...🫣
