About the Sub 70 699
The original 699 was the hollow-body distance iron that Sub 70, the direct-to-consumer maker in Sycamore, Illinois, launched in its first full model year — the product page was live by July 2019, and the head stayed in the range unchanged until the 699 V2 arrived in January 2023. A precision-milled 1.7 mm 455 Carpenter steel face sits on a hollow body injected with TPE resin to stabilise the face and soften sound and feel, in a modern head shape with a 7.6 mm topline. Lofts are moderate for a distance iron — a 31-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge across a 4-iron-through-AW chart with a 50-degree gap wedge closing the set. Sub 70's own model chart of the era filed the 699 as a players-distance head for mid handicaps, one step less forgiving than the 799; it is recorded here as game improvement to match its more offset, longer-blade role opposite the 699 Pro, the classification its successor 699 V2 carries. Every set was built to order from a no-upcharge shaft and grip menu, so no stock shaft or swing weight is recorded.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Sub 70 699 7-iron?
The original Sub 70 699 7-iron has a loft of 31 degrees, a lie of 62.5 degrees and a standard steel length of 37 inches. The 699 V2 that replaced it in 2023 strengthened the 7-iron to 30 degrees.
What is the difference between the Sub 70 699 and 699 Pro?
They share identical lofts and lengths, but the standard 699 is the larger, more forgiving head: roughly 60 per cent more offset (3.4 mm at the 7-iron against the Pro's 2.75), a wider 7.6 mm topline and a satin finish, where the Pro ran a thinner topline and black Tour PVD.
Is the Sub 70 699 forged?
No. It is a hollow-body iron with a precision-milled 1.7 mm 455 Carpenter steel face and a TPE resin-injected core for feel and sound.
What clubs came in a Sub 70 699 set?
The standard chart ran 4-iron through pitching wedge plus a 50-degree AW gap wedge — eight clubs — with every set hand-built to order in Sycamore, Illinois.
Finding a used set
The Sub 70 699 ran from 2019 to 2023 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.
- Sub 70 official 699 iron product page (golfsub70.com/sub-70-699-iron.html, archive.org capture of 7 November 2021) — full specification table for 4-iron through AW: loft, lie, offset in millimetres (5.7 down to 1.0, converted to inches here), head weights 249-297 g, standard steel lengths 38.5 to 35.5 inches (graphite 0.5 inch longer), 455 Carpenter steel material, 7.6 mm topline, 3.2-inch blade length at the 6-iron and .370 parallel hosel, plus the TPE-injected hollow-body construction copy. The same capture's model chart lists the 699 as 'Players Distance' for mid handicaps.
- Driving Range Heroes 'Sub 70 699 Irons Review', 11 March 2020 — corroborates the 31-degree, 62.5-lie 7-iron and the 4-AW eight-club set makeup.
- year_introduced 2019 follows the earliest archive.org capture of the product page (21 July 2019), consistent with MyGolfSpy's launch-window coverage of Sub 70's first lineup; the sibling 699 Pro and 639 CB pages date to the same year. Sub 70 was founded in 2018, but the 699 chart is first documented in 2019. year_discontinued 2023 is the 6 January 2023 announcement of the 699 V2, which MyGolfSpy noted carried stronger lofts than this original.
- Note: bounce is omitted because the original 699 page published none (unlike the V2), and no stock shaft or swing weight is recorded because Sub 70 builds every set to order from a large no-upcharge shaft and grip menu.
