Jon,

There’s a non-Pro model which might be a better choice for high handicappers, but I haven’t tested that one yet.

Is this driver workable for high handicappers with slower swing speeds (80-85mph)?

Randy,

Yes, the weight placements make a big difference, and the C725 has more optionality for weight placement.

I know you have reviews on the c725 from TE. I don’t want a link to that review but your personal comparison between them. Is one better for a certain player than another? Does the difference in where the weights are placed make them play differently?

Jason,

Absolutely. The weighting won’t get this driver to strongly bias left or right, but you can get a small draw bias.

Matt,
When you were playing with the settings and weights, were you ever able to turn this into a more draw biased driver? I know the Pro model is supposed to be more fade biased, but I’m curious if with the proper weight and hosel setup if it could become a more slight draw biased / slight left falling driver. Thanks.

Well done review.
Nice to see a quality driver from a direct-to-consumer brand that performs great.
The adjustability sounds good, and having all the weights included is a perk.
It even has quality shaft options.

Adam,

As always, we do not recommend comparing numbers from different reviews apples-to-apples. That said, I do think the GT3 is more aerodynamic and allows for more club and ball speed creation.

Best,

Randy,

Easier one first: yes, I think this is one of, maybe the, best DTC driver.
I don’t think there’s anything more or less unique about Sub 70’s face tech, but it’s good.

Best,

Matt

Matt,

Nice review, always appreciate the information and analysis of the clubs. After looking at your GT3 review, I noticed you were swinging that faster and had about 6 mph more ball speed than the Sub70. Do you attribute that to the design of the GT3 allowing you to swing it faster, which you mentioned in the review or just swinging a little slower that day with the Sub70? Just trying to decipher if the GT3 is much faster than the Sub70.

Thanks for the work you do,
Adam
