Sub 70 Pro V2 Fairway Wood: Long Bombs and Looks That Kill
Looking to add some distance and precision to your long game? The Sub 70 Pro V2 fairway wood might be your new secret weapon. This fairway wood isn't just about aesthetics (although it is a sharp-looking club!), it's packed with technology designed to help golfers of all skill levels launch rockets off the deck.

Dual Threat: The Power of Two Faces
The Pro V2 boasts a unique Dual Face Technology. Here's the deal: the club face is actually made of two separate pieces. The front face is constructed from high-strength U.S. Custom 455 steel, which is known for generating explosive ball speeds. This face is strategically thicker in the center (2.1mm) and tapers down to 1.8mm on the edges. This variable thickness helps create a larger sweet spot, so even mishits tend to fly off the face with decent zip.
But that's not all! Behind that first face lies a hidden weapon: a TPE resin layer. This resin absorbs impact, leading to a more forgiving feel at contact. Think of it like a trampoline effect – the resin flexes at impact, transferring more energy to the ball for extra distance.

Looks Matter: Classic Design, Modern Performance
The Sub 70 Pro V2 isn't all about technical jargon. It's a beautiful club to look at. The clean address profile with a pear-shaped head inspires confidence, and the tour-matte black finish reduces glare so you can focus on a pure strike. You won’t find any adjustability here, and that’s OK. While adjustable hosels are commonplace among new club releases, Sub 70’s approach with the Pro V2 is to keep things simple while offering explosive tech in the dual face described above.
Who Should Bag the Sub 70 Pro V2?
The Sub 70 Pro V2 caters to a wide range of golfers. Here's how it can benefit different players:
Distance Seekers: The combination of the hot face and trampoline effect in the resin layer means this club is built for distance. If you struggle to find the fairway with longer irons, the Pro V2 can be a great alternative to get you closer to the green in regulation.
Lower Handicap Golfers: The Pro V2 offers the workability that better players crave. The classic design allows for shaping shots, while the feel provides valuable feedback at impact for precise distance control.
Value Hunters: Sub 70 is known for offering high-quality clubs at competitive prices. The Pro V2 delivers tour-level performance without the tour-level price tag ($209 at the time of this writing).
More Than Just Looks and Distance
While distance and aesthetics are a big part of the package, the Sub 70 Pro V2 also offers some under-the-radar benefits:
Playability: The club comes with a Fujikura Ventus shaft as a stock option, known for its lightweight construction and ability to generate low spin for penetrating trajectories. This shaft helps golfers launch the ball easily, even from less than ideal lies. (Other custom shaft options available)
Adjustability: While the Pro V2 isn't a fully adjustable fairway wood, it does come in a variety of lofts (from 15* to 24*) to fit your gapping needs and swing speed.
Customer Service: Sub 70 is known for its excellent customer service and generous return policy. If you're unsure whether the Pro V2 is right for you, they offer demo programs so you can try before you buy.
The Final Takeaway
The Sub 70 Pro V2 fairway wood is a compelling option for golfers looking for a long, playable fairway wood that won't break the bank. Whether you're a distance seeker or a lower handicapper looking for a dialed-in option, the Pro V2 offers a combination of power, forgiveness, and classic good looks that deserves a spot in your bag.
