“The 287 - refined grinds. Players/tour-milled.”
The 287 is Sub70's current-generation wedge, explicitly built as an 'evolution' of the MyGolfSpy-award-winning 286: a wider 4-way cambered sole for smoother turf interaction across more lie and shot types, CNC-milled grooves tuned for spin control, and the same forged DT-4 steel construction as its predecessor. Where the 286 proved Sub70 could compete on accuracy, the 287 widens the net -- Sub70 and reviewers position it as forgiving and playable enough for a broader range of skill levels while keeping the forged feel that built the line's reputation. Community feedback on MyGolfSpy's own forums treats it as the clear step up from the 286 it replaced.
It inherits the 286's genuine MyGolfSpy-tested pedigree and enthusiast-forum enthusiasm without any mainstream recognition -- a DTC wedge with real credentials that only the equipment-obsessed golf-forum crowd has heard of.
A broader range of players than the 286 it replaced, from mid-handicappers wanting help from tight/wet lies to better players who still want CNC-milled spin consistency. Anyone wanting the specific, well-documented 286 accuracy result should note the 287 is a different, newer, wider-soled head, not a re-release.
Released in 2022 as the direct successor to the 286, continuing Sub70's pattern of iterating its wedge line roughly every 1-2 years; sits alongside the 639 CB/MB irons and Sycamore putters as one of the three product families (irons, wedges, putters) that built Sub70's reputation as a serious forged-club DTC brand out of Sycamore, Illinois.
Sub70 explicitly widened the sole to a 4-way camber to broaden playability versus the narrower 286, framing the update as more forgiving for a wider range of skill levels -- a meaningful step up in forgiveness within the wedge category, while still forged and milled for feel rather than pure game-improvement bulk.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
As the current Sub70 wedge generation, resale is thinner since buyers tend to hold onto it or buy new direct; a clean private-party 287 runs roughly $60-$95 per wedge in 2026, higher than the older 286 generations given it remains Sub70's current product.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
