Sub 70 Introduces New 749 Irons
You may have missed the announcement over the weekend, but our friends at Sub 70 Golf unveiled a new game improvement iron: the 749 iron series. Billed toward players who need more forgiveness and distance in an easy-to-hit iron shape, the 749 irons are sure to catch the eyes of many players in this category.
Here is what we know so far about the new Sub 70 irons:
Sub 70 749 Irons Technology
Launch and ball speed are the name of the game for the 749 irons. Fitting comfortably within the game-improvement category, you’re going to find a slightly thicker topline paired with a wider sole to promote optimal launch on every shot.
From Sub 70:
The 749 sports an ultra thin 450 carpenter steel face that provides maximal ball speeds. Further, by lowering the center of gravity and increasing the width and camber on the sole, the 749 provides best of both worlds: forgiveness and length. The 749 is a must have for those seeking consistent reaction on off-center strikes and added carry.
As you can tell by the specifications sheet above, the 749 irons are slightly stronger-lofted but not overly so. Additional weighted along the back and sole of each iron is important to promote higher launch coupled with the stronger lofts. This is a technique seen in other leading brands and competitors in this iron category.
We are still learning more about the newest offering from Sub 70 Golf, so stay tuned to this space for updates as they are received. For now, it appears that the Sub 70 749 irons are optimal for players in the mid-to-high handicap category who are looking for a bit more distance and forgiveness while maintaining an iron profile at address.
