TOUR LEVEL Irons From A DTC GOLF COMPANY (Sub70 TAIII Review)

so right here in my hands I have probably the best looking player irons I've ever seen from a DTC golf company these are the t3s V2 version from sub7 golf designed by two-time PJ tour winner Tommy armor the third they even came in this really nice kind of Premium custom luxurious ta3 branded box I've got a cbnb combo set and in today's video I'm going to dive so deep into these irons the look the feel the performance the play the numbers everything and try to answer the question can we get tour level premium performance player irons from a DTC golf company so this is it literally straight from the box these things are ran spanking new i' like to start a warm-up session with a pitching wedge or warm up with a pitching wedge I opted for the satin cuz there is a raw finish there is a kind of a black finish but I feel like I just got my avodas in a black finish raw seemed cool but satin classic oo that went through the turf nice we're going to talk about the tech and all of that of the club the shape the design kind of what ta3 and and sub7 are wanting to achieve with this blade but first and foremost we're just hitting it that feels nice little thin there but that's still you know I didn't feel like I lost a lot I mean it's a muscle back blade but it's definitely not like such a thin Top Line that it's scary looking but there's certainly some some beefiness and forgiveness in there okay we'll move up to the eight iron it's an interesting Leading Edge it looks like straight on has a bit of a a point if you will but when you look down at at it it it doesn't it like Blends in perfectly behind the golf ball we'll clip that on little heavy but man man that got some pump some pop these are KBs tour 130x kind of the uh the standard offering with most dtc's nowadays but this is the shaft that I gained jeez since 2018 so the last couple years of my career I was still gaming these and I had a middle switch of modus 130s but I played these before so this is a shaft that I'm very comfortable with I use obviously it's a kind of a generic shaft if you will nowaday days but gives me the numbers I I need and want so it's great for testing oh wow that felt awesome and eight iron is where you can start kind of shaping it flighting it obviously a muscleback blade is where we want a lot of that playability let's hit a little low low draw yeah so I went seven to pitching wedge in the MB and six iron is where I started the CB back in the day I would start my CB at five iron 3 four five I don't play a three iron anymore so why not add a little bit more meat and forgiveness at that six iron kind of that 200 yard range that looks good really compact head this is where I'm going to get a little bit more forgiveness little bit more pop wow little active with the hands but man that felt solid I'm dead straight wow these feels so good oh man that's really good so we'll go to the four iron and to me you know this is the club that I want to be able to hit hard it's not really a a tea Club a fairway Club but I find when I test four irons I like to see just how hard can I hit the off the tea and not lose it left this is such a classic I mean yeah it's modern with the Angles and and the weight ports and that but just to me this is just like your classic CB looking head just hit this hard smack it doesn't go left yeah that's good then it's like that four iron let's say 225 into a par five you just hit a high nice good one hi because you chunk it I miss it see that was thin but man that got a lot a lot out of it not hitting this the best oh there we go wow yeah damn Color Me impressed so right from the box to the range they performed great like that first session was really great what really stuck out though was the feel like they felt so good I texted a buddy I was like I need to play golf in a few days because I want to take these out for a full 18 cuz they felt so good they're forged dt4 carbon steel and they're definitely on par with some of those just like softest butteriest irons that I've ever hit Srixon mauno come to mind those are some of the ones that are just like they feel so good off the face that's how good these felt and when you m hit it you knew exactly where you mis hit it when you hit it well it was euphoric how just soft and buttery they felt the the forging the steel is top of the line I said I was going to talk about the specs and yeah there's a lot in here these aren't just DTC blanks that sub7 put their stamp on they worked with a tour player one of their longest Partners in Tommy armor III they've already had a V1 version and they've refined them and one of the things they did in refining these is the sole the sole is a little bit wider than the V1 version but they also have great little cambering on it so there's a lot of relief on that Leading Edge and you don't see that in the DTC space you see just head iron heads that they pick and they put their stamp on and maybe they change a little bit of the aesthetic you see research and design in these irons and this cambered Leading Edge definitely was noticeable on that range session or during that range session some of those ones that I did catch a little bit on the heavy side it really got through the turf really really well the shape of the Leading Edge like I I said kind of like a it's not just a smooth rounding or a straight it has a bit of a peak if you will and that sat really well behind the ball pair it with that that camber on the sole perimeter weighting in the CB heads you added weight plugs you see you even have a weight port in the short irons 89 and pitching wedge just for better feel better forgiveness the design of these things is like right up there with what you get from the OEM to that point they're priced basically right in between what you get from OEM and like a cbnb set and what you get from some direct to Consumer $650 cbnb just forged irons they're offering the R&D the the forging the design the everything you get from the OEM even the customization the fitting experience you can get from OEM you can get that from sub7 the other DTC Brands you don't it's it's it's pick a head pick a shaft maybe a shaft or two they're not typical or I wouldn't qualif quantify these as DTC irons they're from a DTC brand but these are premium irons and you see it in their specs you see it in the feel or you feel it in the feel the performance they're they're not DTC irons even even though they're in the DTC category and the fitting customization like I said I use a KBS tour so I'm kind of using the generic shaft but if I had a shaft that was better fit for me better suited for me I could could use that I could get that option A Project X a dynamic gold a graphite shaft those are options you can get from sub 70 but you're not compromising the performance and the design and the feel in the iron I had to get these out on the golf course and yeah so so I that was a Tuesday that range session I played on the Saturday and they felt so good like they were so solid I could shape them I could cut them I could hit them high I could hit them low even in a bit of wind the performance was there the distance control was there the M hits I I floated one out to the right on the third hole it still got the distance I would have expected out of it so that was really really kind of encouraging even that second hole I thinned that five iron but I still got quite a bit out of it throughout the 18 holes these things did not let me down it was just like a seamless transition into the bag even the guys in my group when I hit a couple irons were like whoa that sounded awesome and the shot I hit out of the hard pan 149 a little downwind just such a great pitching wedge sounded so good I I hit it to this they performed so well on the golf course so they they kind of checked the box of that initial feel range session they checked the box kind of spec-wise build wise on the golf course they checked the box then it was time to come in here and just dive into the numbers and see if the performance I was getting out there translated or the numbers backed up the performance I was getting on the Range on the golf course so when I test irons I like to test pitching wedge seven iron four iron just get some good average readings 10 pitching wedges seven seven irons four four irons if I totally Duff it I'll hit another one like I'll get that out of there but I don't go for just like 10 perfect shots seven perfect shots I just want to see what these things do when hit you know well to really well not shitty shots like a shitty shot with any club is a shitty shot so 10 pitching wedges the consistency in the carry distance was really really like wow I mean we have an average of 141 but we never see it go less than 139 or more than I mean the 146 I pulled but what I noticed when I pulled and kind of closed the face the spin didn't drop down spin is a little on the lower side but the spin consistency coming in at 8,300 as an average but it never goes below 8,000 higher than 87 these are consistently precisely design clubs and you see it in that performance the spin is really consistent the carry yardage is really consistent and that's what you want out of a premium Forge muscle back blade iron numbers wise the pitching wedge it was really solid and then we move into the seven iron a little on the lower side of spin I'm definitely kind of a higher launch I get good height out of my irons but right in the middle of the bag let's say like eight 7 six I do fight the spin getting down a little bit like based on like ideal but the spin is a little low on the seven iron coming an average of 5900 carry of 181 that's exactly what I would want but again the same thing if I turned it over a little bit it didn't go considerably further and lose a lot of spin or if I held the face Square to a little open it didn't go considerably shorter and gain a lot of spin like you see the range of spin coming from 5740 as high as 6150 like only 400 RPM spin across seven you know well struck shots is really really impressive and the dispersion the flight really really good and consistent and that speaks to the design the Forgiveness everything that's in these clubs how they built them how they made them you're seeing it with the numbers and then we go into the four iron it's so impressive I it's weird I've always been a very strong long iron player four and five irons I fight with not enough spin in the middle of the bag but then I it kind of perfectly with the long irons and and just this is incredible what the four iron produced I had one that I kind of chunked so I had five shots but four were this within two yards of each other in terms of carry and then we look at the spin within roughly 300 RPM of each other 3977 average F I mean that's perfect the launch the height this this four iron was amazing and just like that perimeter weighting that they've added a little wider sole the cambering just makes it so easy to hit but it looks so good thin Top Line I mean look at that dispersion look at that little circle of landing and then look at the flight even when I turned it it didn't go considerably further and that's kind of that's what you want out of Premium irons players irons you want something that's going to do what you expect it to do on a good one and a bad one and a bad one for me can be a little turn it over but it's not going 8 n 10 11 yards further or if I kind of hold the face open it's not going seven eight yards nine yards shorter the range and how these things are landing because of the spin in the launch and the ball like just I would like a little bit more spin in the middle of the bag with these but my goodness the first range session was so good the looks of them are so good the feel is like I said probably one of the better feeling irons I've ever hit the good ones feel like perfect but when you Mish hit one you know exactly where you hit it and that what happens with it is exactly what you think or thought or expected to have happened with the m hit oh these are good irons and I mean they're DTC but I think sub7 is in a in a league of its own when it comes to the DTC space they're creating and producing irons with R&D with design with custom fitting options that the other DTC brands that we just get inundated with marketing about don't do they're creating and doing what the oems do but they offer it at you know 25 30 35% less at times as what the oems and I've seen comments in the videos oh the resale value isn't there the resale value in any golf club is kind of really tanking it's a it's a weird space but everything I've hit from sub7 from their their Fairway Woods their drivers and now their irons I I'm so impressed with what this brand is doing these irons are special irons I'm going to keep them in the bag for a little bit because I can do what I want to do with them they're for players that don't get it twisted these are not like game improvement these are irons for players and so if you're a player and you want an iron that gives you great performance incredible feel and feedback but good amount of forgiveness I I I look at these seriously look at these because they're going to turn some heads they're going to get people talking but they're going to perform for you so yeah sub 70 well done on these irons can't wait to hit more shots with them we'll see you in the next video
