Why we like it
It’s fitting that Sub 70’s main headquarters outside Chicago features a full-service bar because the feel of these irons is like a happy hour waiting to happen. Thin-face irons can feel harsh, but thanks to a thermoplastic urethane inside the head, the thin (just 1.7 millimetres) 455 Carpenter-steel clubface feels syrupy at impact without any unwanted noise. The thin topline, reduced offset and sole design combine to offer the kind of workability sure to bring out the inner shot-maker in you – provided you don’t over-indulge at the bar first.

“Almost has a sturdy, full look to it but isn’t bulky. Feels sharp and springy off the face. Consistent distance.”
