TOUR LEVEL Performance With An AFFORDABLE PRICE TAG!

so while some DTC golf brands have been shanking it these days sub7 has been puring it every Club of theirs that I've tested in 2025 has been fantastic and right here I have their JB V2 wedges I've never hit a sub-70 wedge so it's going to be my first experience with their wedges and I want to find out if they can keep puring it with this release the look The feel the numbers the play everything you want to know about these wedges I hope to answer for you and we're going to find out is sub 70 just continuing to cement themselves as the premium DTC golf brand in the space so enough talking let's go to the course first things first when you get wedges when you're testing wedges you need to do it around the greens this is where you're going to use your wedges in bunkers in the rough into the grain with the grain shots on the Range are great numbers are great but when I get a set of wedges that I'm testing or a new set that I've used over the years I get it around the greens and I want to see you know how does it interact with the turf but can I get creative with it will it do what I want it to do how does it feel so it's it's always nice to just grab the 60 and just hit your your range of shots low medium high see how it reacts spins nice little firm firmer off the face but can you can you slide it open I mean that looks really good just like laying it flat it doesn't look like I'm going to Blade it it looks like I can kind of slide it underneath and yeah it pops underneath really really well the grind on this I don't know doesn't have like a letter to Define it the grind is really good and that's kind of what this V2 version of the JB wedge is just a more refined Sole for more versatility around the greens but it really interacts well with the turf here on some tight you know March Florida Bermuda wow that has some spin yeah so that's with the 60 but then you know you grab the 56 you grab the 52 can I open the 56 and get under it that's the versatility we're looking for because that's kind of the test I like to give can you get cute with the 56 how's the grind can you slide it underneath off a tight lie could you even do it with the 52 like how did the how's the bounce how's the grind I mean that was the 56 that thing slid under so well I mean the 52 it's a challenging shot but can we do it didn't execute that too well can we slide it underneath yep you would never hit that shot on the golf course but what this is allowing you to to feel and experience is is that versatility is that Turf interaction that bounce on the grind throughout the set most people when face with this shot would probably grab the 56 put it back in the stance just kind of mid height it so can I execute just a really straightforward basic pitch little thin they're definitely definitely firmer off the face played my whole career with tailor made wedges maybe they're a bit softer comparatively firmer feeling but it doesn't it's not offputting but now let's uh let's go on a bunker and see how it works morning here so the Bunker's a little bit wet and I actually love practicing out of wet bunkers because it just it's more of a challenge can you use the bounce can you can you really execute that went through really nice came out a little faster but that's kind of what happens in a wet bunker but that went through really nice I felt the heel go through because that's sometimes when you are a little not so sharp in the bunkers the heel digs the heel I I felt it get in there but it really went through nicely that was much better more spin it's fine a little bit far not the best shot there Andrew definitely goes through fast want to hit a couple more all right we'll go where there's a little bit more sand still on the The Damp side but let's see if we can kind of slide this under get a bit more height on it see if this wedge allows me to do that yeah that went through a little bit softer for sure yeah coming out a little lower with spin but it's going through nicely I'm just not hitting great shots that thing had a little bit of bite on that down slope ah hand through terrible so in the bunker it feels good it's going through nicely my execution not so good but the wedge is still doing what I would want it to do in the bunker so check take that box this is kind of the next progression in my testing I give myself a hard shot that I don't like I grew up in Canada I didn't grow up in Bermuda grass this is Bermuda grass growing into me there's a drain right here it's always very soft which is very easy to dub this one a little uphill this is one where you need to use the bounce properly and and have the Leading Edge give you that relief so we're going to see if we can execute here kind of a little pitchy let it skid in there with the 60° 52 is just too much run 56 kind of too low so this is one where you need some height but you need to execute the strike and you need a wedge that's going to allow you to do it so this is going to be feast or famine oh yeah I mean I goose it cuz I wanted to make sure I struck it well but that was good because it's so easy to just go like that you want that bounce to do what it needs to do but you want the Leading Edge to still help you there we go drive it it's got a little bit of spin still releases but then you could even go all right can I go higher and still have the bounce and just there's just enough relief on that Leading Edge to help too so can we go higher and not embarrass ourselves so I chunked that that was actually a great example I kind of Lo let hung back hit behind it but the bounce saved sa me the grind saved me so that's really again that's super encouraging stuff let's see if we can execute a little bit more just kind of get to that left side and have this golf club help me hit a really good shot oh yeah I got to the left side comes up high soft little nervous hitting the shot but we this passes this test so kind of the fourth and final little short game area test I would recommend for anyone wanting to put a new wedge in the bag is like that 40 45 yard shot but this is the shot that's like the third shot on a par five or you've been out of position on a par four you need to get up and down for par so this is the one that you need to practice a lot a but B you want to be able to have a club that's going to do what you want it to do in terms of trajectory spin Turf interaction all of that knowing what I've learned through a little bit of testing and around with these definitely feels like it's coming off the face faster we'll we'll dive deeper into that when we get into the garage and test the numbers to see if the ball speed is a little up so I just need to take that into consideration it's coming off the face a little bit fast F I don't think it's compromising spin or anything but just a little firmer off the face maybe a little more ball speed but can I hit this like 43 yard shot with a little spin to give myself a makeable putt yeah it definitely comes off the face faster just not as soft as what I love in a wedge but it's definitely not off ping oh it's gone yeah see that's hammered it just hitting a little too hard okay let's use a little more bounce see if we can get under it a little bit more straight into the sun I think that's a good shot though yeah I really like the grind it really interacts well with the turf my tendency is I like to kind of Drive these with some spin I would need a little more practice with that but the fact that I could just do that and kind of float it that's encouraging let's try to really execute here yeah that had more spin that was clipped greens are a little bouncy but that was good just it's just coming off the face faster than what I would like but it's still gosh a really solid solid grind so coming in at 130 bucks these JB V2 wedges are certainly priced more than what you see in the kind of drop ship DTC space but they're still 3040 $50 less than what you're seeing from OEM a big differentiator that kind of puts them perfectly in the middle is first and foremost the head design is design it's not just a DTC blank the giveaway for a lot of these DTC wedges you're seeing for $89 99 the Leading Edge has so much curve to it especially in that heel to my eye it's very off ping the Leading Edge on these is quite straight I personally really like a straighter Leading Edge and that thing sits really well behind the ball we don't see a lot of curve at the heel it's more of a players looking wedge you also have three finishes satin raw and black I went with the raw this time and it's certainly added some Rust over the last couple weeks of being used and washed and just just living in the golf bag it's also the same forged carbon steel that we saw in the ta3 wet irons so it's that soft really nice forged carbon steel grind it's playable my goodness it's playable you have a low bounce option in the 60 but you don't have like bounce options to choose from let's say or degrees and you don't have numbers or letters for your grinds you just have the grind that they've designed and it's a good grind it allows a lot of Versatility you can kind of hit it straight face close it down and it doesn't feel like it's going to dig little bit of relief in that Leading Edge is going to allow that shot to be executed but then opening up it really sits nicely behind the ball and then before I took it out for that practice session I played with them they really performed well and when I was playing it was thin not nice Turf conditions I didn't didn't leave any in the ground didn't dub any didn't blade any it performed well launching a little bit higher I noticed during that round when I did have to hit let's say slightly less than a full one but I had to hit some kind of half flighted ones and they performed really really well really well the distance control was there they just felt like a really good players wedge and they look really good looking down at it the Milling just everything about it was was quite impressive but then it was time for some numbers so typically my testing I'll do hit all the shots myself and share the numbers num with you but in this instance I want to do it a little bit live so I want to hit some of these shots talk about the numbers and then then we can talk about averages after the fact but when I test wedges I really want to make sure it can hit the launch the ball speed the spin the distance of like a flighted 3/4 one so with a 60 that's 90° with a 56 that's 105 and with a 52 that's like 120 so I want to hit like a flighted controlled 90 yard shot here with the 60° and let's see what we're working with so that flew 92 little long launching 30° Club ball pretty good spins good nice flight I like to kind of feel like I'm drawing a wedge a little far though couple yards too far obviously we want to be able to really control our distance that felt a little better 90.9 Club at 78 ball at 78 just launching a little high for my taste maybe that's me a little bit but I'd love to see the launch 28 29° also trying this with a different shaft than I've ever used this is just a regular Dynamic gold s300 really nice Peak height nice spin just launching a hair High the ball speed and the spin and everything pretty solid now just get a little average so the averages with the 60 were solid it was a pretty predictable club we see a little bit of variance in the spin but with a 60° that's going to really come down to what that face was doing at impact was it held a little bit open was it closed down a little bit launching definitely higher than what I want out of a 60° hitting that 90 yard shot so maybe it's more just that shaft I play KBS tour tour V actually gives me my best launch with the wedges through all of my testing the dynamic gold just straight up this isn't a tour issue this just launches a little bit higher for me it still feels really good but just take that into consideration but numbers wise we're seeing consistent spin we're seeing really good spin for that 90 yard shot but not ballooning yes the launch is high a big thing you want to fight against and this is what my playing career why I struggled in my playing career was I launched wedges around this around 30 31 but they weren't spinning enough so that became really difficult to control distance they could go high and fall out of the sky the fact that yeah it's launching higher than I want it to but still maintaining really good spin that speaks to a really great Club head really well designed the launch is higher but everything else is really really good and that ball speed that I thought maybe felt like it was coming off faster it wasn't it's just really good ball speed for the club head speed so now we roll into the 56° and this is a 105 yard shot this is a shot where you really want to control height control Spin and and ultimately control distance because this is uh this is one you want to hit close 106 launch was a little bit better I caught it a little more on the toe side you see a little more draw that launch is a little bit better spins good club ball everything's quite good 106 yards I mean we hit our number roughly with really good launch characteristics and numbers same thing here with five solid 105 yard 56° launching a degree higher than I wanted to but pretty great ball flight pretty great control spin is a little bit tighter so that's that's just what you want you want predictable spin based on your launch and your and your Club head ball speed really really good stuff there ball speed really really consistent I mean it varies by one mile which is really really nice so just great with that 105 yard shot so 52° that's 120 yards I mean this is basically a fairway shot this isn't necessarily like a a finesse shot but it's still a shot you want to be able to execute not balloon not spin too much or too little you want to control the spin you want to control the launch and ultimately your distance so 120 yards pulled it a hair 121 that's really good launch obviously I pulled it so the launch came down down a little bit so when you pull it the spin should come down but didn't come down too too much it feels a little softer off the face in here than it did around the greens the other day yeah nice stuff let's just get an average now and you see the same thing with the 52 launch coming down a little bit this is almost pretty good but I think I could still do for about a degree less of launch the height is consistent the ball speed is consistent like really consistent again we see just over a mile variance in trying to hit these yardages and and to get these five it really probably only took me like I think six with each it was easy to hit these numbers and a little bit like you're feeling good with your swing but also if you have a really well-designed Club you can hit your numbers more frequently so testing them like across the board I'm just experiencing really good things if I were to put these in the bag I would need a different shaft the look The feel just on the golf course for whatever reason maybe is the turf maybe that thinner not a lot of grass under the ball this time of year in certain on certain golf courses so maybe that's why they felt a little bit firmer off the face but these could go in the bag I would just need a different shaft you know I test with different shafts just to get a good understanding of what they can all do I would just need probably my gamer shaft to bring my launch down a few degrees just to help me control the golf ball more but the fact that I was getting really great spin with these in spite of of slightly higher launch that's super encouraging because that's going to allow you to hit your yardage more frequently and with wedges we want to be able to hit our yardages when we're hitting them full half 3/ quarter but then like you saw around the greens these things perform they interact really well with the turf I'm a big sub7 fan they're cementing themselves in a category of their own yeah some people are commenting their prices are a little bit higher so maybe the resale is not great but they've got a great trade-in program prog that they run in house but their pricing is higher than the typical DTC offering because they're offering more they're offering options and and finish they're offering more head choices they're offering more shaft choices grip choices you can fully dial in these wedges to perfectly match your game and still save 30 40 50 bucks a club from the oems while not compromising performance whatsoever some of the other DTC Brands I think you compromise a little bit of performance if it's not exactly fit to you based on the options they offer really really impressive stuff we said at the beginning they continue to Pure it and yes they're puring it with these wedges they look great they feel great and they perform really really well you saw it across all testing this video so sub 70 you keep killing it can't wait to test uh what you roll out next so we'll see you in the next video
