These Irons Should Cost Twice as Much!

If you were to cover up the logo on these irons and tell me that they cost $1,500 for this set, I wouldn’t bat an eye because the level of detail, precision, and care that’s put into the design of these really is second to none for a direct to consumer club. They are beautiful. But on today’s episode, we’re going to test and see if these irons can perform. What I’ve got is the Sub70 TA3s, a highly requested iron here on the show. I’ve got both the muscleback version and the cavity back version. And like I said, they are absolutely gorgeous. So, let’s take them out on course to the first hole and get to work. Well, I pushed it off to the right a little bit, but it was hit fairly solidly. Let’s go see how far it went. All right, here we are just right side in the first cut. 197 is the number. So, it’s actually a great angle for this flag stick, which is 151 out. Again, being early morning, I want to make sure I get there because we got some water to cover here as well. So, we’re going to go eight iron. Now, these irons are really built to penetrate through the rough and get through the turf. We’ve got that face side relief. We’ve got that milling at the bottom, which I really love. Pretty amazing to see. Let’s see what we get out of it here. We’re going to need some forgiveness because I hit that off of the toe. But, we had plenty of distance. I don’t think we’re on the green up there on the right hand side. We’re probably on the fringe chipping. But I hit that club as I often do in the morning. It seems like every shot first time is right around there. It was actually a very, very forgiving result, especially distance-wise. That’s where a lot of clubs, muscle backs especially, you’re going to lose significant distance on offc center strikes, but we didn’t seem to do it there. I had my distance right. One thing I did notice though off those first two shots is the feel of these are exceptional. Of course, being a forged club, you’d expect that, but they really just have a nice soft feel at impact. Like I said, distance-wise, you can see we’re actually pin high here. So, distance was perfect. And this is a fairly easy, which may be the kiss of death, but a fairly easy up and down here. We got plenty of green to work with. Let’s see if we can convert. See if I got the weight of that shot right. Pretty good. Roll down a little further than I wanted, but looks like six feet here to save our par. All right, baby. Let’s roll one in. I didn’t give it enough. All right. So, early bogey, but not the iron’s fault
