This is my honest opinion on the Takomo 101 irons which i have bought myself with my money, no sponsor.
How does an average golfer get on with the direct to consumer irons?
Only time will tell if they help or hinder my game. Takomo 101 irons let us see what you got.

Thank you for being an average golfer like me giving honest reviews. I’m about a 13 hcp and am in the market to replace my Callaway x-20s from 2006. It’s frustrating seeing all these low handicappers reviewing golf improvement irons and just kill the ball.
Hello mate. I'm so glad you think the same as me. It's great seeing the big guns doing it but it's unrealistic for us. Thanks for watching mate.
13 hcp aint average haha
I'm not a 13.. I'm definitely average
@@GOLFDAYS I should say my 13 comes with a big asterisk. Lol.
Haha 👌
First time viewer! LOVE your video, I can relate as a average golfer, GREAT tip! Money you save buying Takomo clubs you can buy some wedges!!! Brilliant!!! Keep up the videos! I subscribed
Thanks. That's what I was hoping to do, make videos people can relate to. Haha absolutely buy Wedges 😅
Thanks for the support 🙌
Love the channel. Bought these irons myself last summer. Wonderful clubs! I would recommend them to anyone in the 15+ handicap range.
Hello Aaron. Thank you so much for your kind words! Oh excellent, cool to hear you are still loving them further down the line. I absolutely agree with you they are incredible for the price! Thanks again for the kind words and thanks for dropping by for a chat 👍
Hopefully talk more as the channel grows
Love the “honesty”of you video with these clubs and your game. Got these clubs on order myself
Thanks Ken
I still love them. Great looking and performance. Thanks for watching 🙌
Love this video of the "average" golfer playing the irons. You play like the guys/gals I play every round. Thanks for the honest review of the irons.
Hey thanks John. Appreciate you dropping by. 🙌
Thank you for the video, strongly considering these over second hand, much appreciated!
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. I'm glad this video helped. After using them as average golfer I don't see what the benefits would be between a second-hand set and a brand new direct consumer set. They perform perfectly well you still got the premium shaft in KBS and premium grip The iron heads are great. If you do end up buying some please come back let me know how you get on. 👍
Love the detailed review and I've been looking at the 101 and 201 irons for a while now but still undecided, although your review has pushed me towards the 101. I agree they are great value for money compared to what the big brands charge. And from what you say they do appear to be very forgiving too. Thanks again for the review. Love the camera angles and the ball flight tracer. Hope to see your channel grow from strength to strength.
Hello Paul... Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It is a difficult decision, both sets look great. I based my choice on the ones I preferred the look of. Thanks again for your comments and for stopping by. 👍
Love the video mate been looking at these irons myself hence the reason have stumbled across your channel, seen all the videos from James channel but like you said they are very good golfers so that does not show me anything🤷🏻♂️ down side to these now is the extra charges on top with equates around 650sh for something I can’t try it’s a big risk sadly. Need someone who has these irons for me to try before hand haha.
Ps. Just subbed mate so looking forward to see more of your videos 👊🏻
Thanks a lot for watching! Yeah exactly they are great golfers and it's good seeing them try but we find it hard to relate. I totally understand what you are saying about prices etc. I took the gamble which on this occasion worked out but yeah I get what you mean..
Thanks for the support hopefully you will enjoy the entertainment 🙌
i don’t know if you’ll see this or not, but i ended up purchasing the 101s a couple days ago and have been watching reviews on them while i wait for them to ship. just want to say that i absolutely love your personality and just how positive you are throughout the video, also just the idea of doing this review as an “average golfer” is so cool. gives a more realistic feel to the review. awesome video!!
@@finessindem73 hey mate. I see and reply to every single comment. I appreciate them all so thank you.
Thank you for your really kind words, really nice to hear.
Enjoy the clubs mate, I'm still using them now.
Thanks again mate for the kind words, 🙌🙌
Thanks for this video, it tipped the balance into me getting them. They're in backorder though so have to wait for the time being.
Again thanks and indeed good to see what an average golfer thinks of them.
Thanks Lionel. Glad I was able to help. I still love them now 🙌 hopefully won't be too long until you get hold of them.
New subscriber - was talking to Tony from Triple T golf about these Irons and he recommended your review, great review.
Hello mate. Thanks for dropping by and commenting. I speak to Triple t a lot on insta. Nice fella. I appreciate your recommendation and kind words. Hopefully you'll stick around for more chats on videos 👌
Thanks for the support mate
Thanks! It's great to see a review by someone who golfs similar to the way I do. Turning birdie opportunities into bogeys is my specialty. Judging by this review, and several others, I think Takomo Golf may have something here.
Thanks David I'm so glad it resonates in the way I was hoping. An average golfer which is actually the majority of us. I said before it's great seeing the pro reviews but that doesn't resonate with me as I'm not their standard which is why I do occasionally make a video with my experience. Takomo have definitely made some decent feeling clubs 👌. Thanks again David, kind words 🙌
@@GOLFDAYS I told my brother about Takomo and he promptly ordered a set! Meaning, of course, that I'll have the pleasure of a free demo!
@@davidcunningham7432 oh perfect 😅👍... Takomo should be giving me a cut. (Which there not )
Im from finland and actually from town where takomo is based. So proud of on the company👍🏻
That's wkd ! Let's make them bigger. They are doing great stuff
Finally a review that is more realistic for the Takomo 101 clubs. Respect 🙏.
Thanks a lot Mat I appreciate you dropping by and leaving a comment. My thoughts when making the video, try and make one more relatable to us everyday golfers. 🙌
we've had two late blizzards in this part of Canada. Still waiting to get out and give my 101's their maiden voyage on grass. Hopfully, in another 2-3 weeks. They do feel great off a mat though!
Oh wow bad weather there! Yeah I bet you're itching to play. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for you. 🤞🤞 Thanks for dropping by and commenting. Let me know when you do actually get round to it how you get on.
Top video again mate and they look awesome irons mate.
Thanks mate. Appreciate the kind words. Yeah they are really nice looking and as the weeks go by they are becoming more and more comfortable. Happy customer 😅 thanks mate 👍
You looked very comfortable with the new irons. I have seen a couple of RUclips pros review them and they seem to like them. They look like standard grips? My Son has slightly thicker/fatter grips and they feel really good to me so am thinking of testing some out. Do you have any thoughts on grips?
Great video as usual. Played there twice yesterday agree, the ground staff do a fantastic job.
Thanks Barrie. For me being honest like I mentioned it took a couple of rounds with them but now feel very comfortable. I think it was a bigger transition as my last set were extremely light. You can have them made with mid size grips, that is one of the options when making a custom set. The grips personally for me feel fine though I am tempted to go down my local pro and test out some other grips maybe with a couple of layers tape underneath but to start with they seem fine to me.
I'm glad you're in agreement with me in regards to the ground staff absolutely superb.
Thanks again for all your support. Love the chats 👍
Have a good weekend Barrie
Hi, I bought 101 with mid-grip. It's great
@@jeanmichelligny8556 thanks for sharing. I was tempted by mid grip buy never tried them before so went standard
Really interested in getting a set of these irons they look great. Did you wait long for them to get delivered? Good luck with them mate 👍🏻
I waited about 4 months.. definitely worth it I've been super happy with them so far for 3 rounds.. I went with the 101's as well
I waited probably around 2 months. I was of the lucky ones as I have heard others waiting longer. Thanks 👍
Your greatest lesson given in this video is the positive attitude and moving on to the next shot. A good life lesson too!!
Thank you for the kind words. I try to stay positive and enjoy it. Thanks for sticking by 🙌🙌
Hi! Good review! Im thinking to buy those clubs. Playing now Wilson D200 with super light shafts. I got arm injury few years ago and im worried the feedback on mishits. Did you get bad vibration on mishits?
I had light clubs too. I went for stiff shaft with these which then ment the shaft weight is now 110grams. You should be able to get lighter shafts to help. I didn't get any bad vibrations unless I hit it terribly out of the toe. Mishits from the heel or bottom grooves didn't give me any vibrations up my arms. Thank you for watching. Hope this helps, If you need anymore advice just let me know.
You could go down the path of a graphite shaft to help eliminate the vibration on miss hits. The channel todays golfer has a good review of the kbs shafts and a pretty straight forward answer to why maybe a graphite shaft is better then steel. Give it a watch. I’ll more then likely be going down the path of graphite for the same reason as you.
Nice insight Trent, thanks for sharing 🙌
Hi great video I have ordered the 101 could you tell me how long it took to be delivered? I know they are waiting on KBS lite shafts cheers
Thanks for watching ✌️ it has taken me 6 weeks before but they are always on the ball. Hopefully you get them soon mate.. hopefully see you around here again 🙌
Smart choice. Amazing value irons.
Cheers mate. Absolutely right they feel brilliant!
Have you got some?
Purchased a 60 degree wedge an a 2 Iron. Can't😊 wait til next April !!!
Excellent 👌 enjoy
I’ve recently purchased the 101 irons and after a few rounds I can say I’m in love. The price, control, and forgiveness is what sold me.
First $500 includes 4-PW premium grips and premium shafts you can’t beat the price.
Second, these irons are very forgiving! Am a very average to below average golfer and my iron shots have never flown straighter. Of course there still is the possibility of a miss hit but much more limited.
I’d recommend these irons to any golfer trying to shave a few strokes off the game
That's fantastic news! What specs did you go for? Thanks for sharing your experience. So good to hear from other golfers 👏👏👏
@@GOLFDAYS I left all the lofts standard but I went with the KBS tour 120 shafts, and Lamkin grips!
@@christianwilliams5240 nice set up ! You can't beat it can you for the price. 👏
@@GOLFDAYS I 100% agree have been pushing my friends to look into Takomo
@@christianwilliams5240 yeah my mates are impressed too. Push your mates to subscribe to build the community 😅👍
Hopefully in the future I can try out other golf gear as an average golfer that will resonate with the majority of us
Maybe I missed it but did you go with the "Lite" Stiff or just the normal Stiff flex shafts? Thanks for the review! I am for grabbing a set, just a matter of when and making up my mind if I want to pay to get fitted first :D
Thanks for the question mate. At the time of my order they had KBS tour 105 shafts in stock so I got that in stiff which equates to 110 gram stiff shaft in the end. The tour 105 is the shaft between the KBS tour (heaviest) and KBS tour 90 (lightest) the middle weight shafts... Based on my experience I would suggest finding what shaft you play is important as when I was fitted I tried so many that gave me all different results (which was a surprise to me) the KBS shaft for me came out with the best ball flight and spin number. Hope this helps my friend. Anything else drop me a message 👍
@@GOLFDAYS Great, thank you! Big help
Thanks for the warning about import tax , I wasn't expecting that !
No problem. Glad you found the video useful 👍
I miss that bit when I watch your video the other day probably stuffing my face in the kitchen 😂😂
@@adygolf haha I'm guilty of doing that from time to time my friend 🤣
How do they compare to your previous irons, feel, control and distance (better)? What is your yardage for each iron? I have watched the reviews on the TXG and James R channels and they offered high praise but their swing speeds are up there.
Great question Rick.
I would say my speeds are not the fastest. 8 iron tends to be around the 140 yd mark just for some reference but I also need to be having a good day with strike 😅 (average golfer issues) it's difficult to compare to my previous set as they were a lot lighter than these so although I may feel these are heavier you may think in the hand there not. Distances are the same from first glance. The feel you get off them when you do hit one clean is nice. Mis hits there is some feedback but not to the point I would worry anymore than my last set. If I'm honest I'm not a good enough golfer to really say how much control you get. I'm just an average golfer that wanted a cheaper option to p790s that I love the look of. These allow to have similar looking clubs and I haven't seen drop off in performance.
Sorry the reply is long winded, hopefully this helps.
@@GOLFDAYS Do you know what their club make ups consists. I'm assuming 4-PW but can't find anything on their website.
@@rickcudmore8156 only 4 to pitch
Did you say you are at little channels? Is that the one at Chelmsford? I have just moved near by and am thinking about trying the course after using the driving range a few times (as well as getting some takomos!)
Yes that's right. Just outside Chelmsford. We are getting top tracer fitted in the range soon which will be incredible. Nice what irons did you get.. make sure stick around on here and maybe see you on the course 👌
Well done mate!!
Cheers pal. 16 degrees here today that's luxury for us 😅
Nice review. You mention customs duty in the review. Did you have to pay it before you received the clubs or get an invoice when they arrived?
Hello Jim.
I was notified when they were due out for delivery there would be payment taken upon delivery. It may not be the same for all but UPS arrived and then took payment at the door.
@@GOLFDAYS interesting. Mine arrive on Wednesday so I guess we'll see. UPS also. How much was it if you don't mind me asking?
@@jimwocha4949 it was £98
Let me know how you get on 👍
@@GOLFDAYS thought it might be something like that. Guess it would be cheaper if we were still in the EU. Hoping to get out on Thursday with them so will report back.
@@jimwocha4949 😅 would have been nice to buy before the break away
Great Video thinking of buying these myself?
Thanks mate. Hope this video was useful 👍👍
hi I bought these 6 rounds there good value not saying there a p790 but seriously value for money need weather too get better but shaft is a little heavy for me wedges are as good as anything very responsive
Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts. I don't have the wedges but good to know 👍👍
I agree if I had the choice then p790 would be a no brainer but based on current affairs etc etc.. I couldn't afford p790s but these are fantastic looking and could well be a stop gap for now. Thanks again 👍
@@GOLFDAYS there really good clubs hope I didn't come across as if said there poor there not I would recommend them for value all day think we get caught up as golfers with the big brand hype I'm very happy with them get the wedges hitoe stopping power great
@@celtickev1 not at all my friend. I agree the big brands have us all caught up and it's hard to break out. I however think one day I may be tempted again but for now I can not fault them. Thanks again for the conversation Kevin 👍
I'm definitely thinking about buying these irons just not sure about the import tax you were talking about me being in Canada and all I don't know how much more I'd have to pay
That's a great question. I honestly wouldn't know. It says on the website it is included for EU and US residents. Maybe try emailing them and see if they know.
Sidenote, we just got a Tim Hortons up the road from me. Love the coffee 😅👍
@GOLF DAYS that's awesome thanks for the reply
@@shonecornish no problem mate Thanks again for watching. If you do buy a set let me know how you get on 👍
@GOLF DAYS I can definitely do that bud
They are beautiful!!!
They are mate 🙌
What shaft did you decide to get? I don’t feel like getting fitted. I’m a high handicap playing a stiff shaft currently. My 7 iron swing speed is about 85. Off KBS site recommends KBS tour stuff or KBS tour Lite x stiff. Not sure which ones I should get
It's very difficult for me to answer as I can't give the correct information you need. I give maybe help with an insight to what I have. So 101 irons I have them in tour light stiff, swing speed 85mph 7 iron. I personally found them a lil too heavy for what I like so I now have kbs max in stiff which are I believe 15 grams lighter. I prefer the lighter shaft. Swing speed though I'm smack bang in the middle of stiff bracket. I hope this helps a little
‘This is not a hair stylist video’. More of that please!
😅 thanks🙌
Found myself cheering for you
Thanks 🙏
Just curious why you went with the 101 over the 201? I’ve been looking for new irons and these are high up on my list
Great question my friend. It literally was as simply as i preferred the looks. I love the p790 looks (taylormade fan boy 😅) and these look similar also neat and sleek looking. They also claim to be the more forgiving set which I am always looking to take 😅👍
@@GOLFDAYS much appreciated mate! Just pulled the trigger on the 101s I’m stoked
@@christianwilliams5240 excellent mate. Let me know how you get on. Make sure you come back here 👍👍
I ordered my 101 set with their Regular KBS shaft due to the stiff shafts were on backorder and looking at the KBS specs, my swing speed is NOT over 90. Your swing doesn’t appear to be that extreme either. I hope there’s not that much of a difference between the two shafts especially considering my swing speed.
I did not get fitted prior to ordering but I had to get an upgrade as I have been playing my very old irons.
Did you really need the KBS stiff shafts versus the KBS Regular?
I recently got re fitted and I am stiff shaft as my swing speed is bang in the middle of the bracket. I swing 7 iron 85mph and the stiff bracket they say is 80-90 swing speed. I was however playing reg shafts up to that point and they were still very functional. I now play the 101t irons in stiff and love them. My swing has changed a lot since this video One final note, my 3wood is still reg shaft and I love it so I don't think I will change that yet even though you could argue I should.
Thanks for the quick response! I can’t wait till my order arrives. Cheers
@@RockDrillSuite no problem my friend.. you will love them 🙌
good job mate
Thanks Dante. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always feel free to drop by and chat. Trying to grow the community where we can all chat🙌👍
Damn that 9iron ia good looking
They all look awesome 👌👌
I only see the option for different shafts when ordering the 101s. Were you able to customize anything else?
Hello mate. There is a button that says customise irons then you can select grip size. What else did you want to do?
@@GOLFDAYS Shaft length?
@@GOLFDAYS i also don’t see the button that says customize irons
@@FishHardGetLucky yeah you can do that under customise which in small writing underneath the add to cart button. (Just looked for you)
@@GOLFDAYS I see it now! Thanks so much! I’ve been wanting to get back into golf so much. I golfed a lot before I went overseas, But I’ve been struggling with bad neck issues for a few years. I can finally go out and play but my mobility and flexibility is not good. So I have to take it easy and have a club with some forgiveness. I hope that golf will help with my rehab! It seems promising! Just have to keep saving my money so I can buy some quality/forgiving clubs! Cheers!
What is the weight on your KBS Tour Stiff shaft?
Mine are the KBS tour 105 shafts which come up a little lighter than KBS tour. I believe stiff in KBS tour 105 is 120gram
Awesome. Thanks so much.
Any update on the 101’s? I’m torn among the 101’a, the 101T’s and Sub 70’s 699 or 699 pros.
What you mean update mate? You mean how am I with them further down the line?
@@GOLFDAYS yes. Seeing what you still think of the 101’s.
@@jeffpaul606 I have moved onto the 101t irons now and yes still loving them . Mesh uses the 101 irons now and he loves them. I had the 101t irons re fitted to me so now they are fantastic.
@@GOLFDAYS thank you for the update! Glad you’re liking them!
How do I choose between all those shafts?
😅 there is so many options. It helps of you could try some out in a golf store
A year on, would you say they have improved your game? Are you still use them?
Hello mate.. funnily enough I was going to do a follow up video on them.. yes I am still using them. It's hard to say whether it's improved my game noticeably or I have got better. Stay tuned for the follow up though. 👌
.😊
I'm a 58 year old man that is usually a bogey or double bogey golfer. Need distance and forgiveness. Do you think these will help me? What flex should I use for a slower swing speed. Thanks
Thanks for the question Ron.. I honestly do not think I'm equipped to give you that information. They are forgiving irons and that's what they are made for but in regards to shaft etc I couldn't say. I would get fitted and at least then you would know what specs you require. I am sorry I just don't want to say something that honestly I have no knowledge about. What I can say is they are strong lofted, designed to give you more distance.
@@GOLFDAYS thanks
@@ronpinkerton7012 sorry I couldn't help more
@@GOLFDAYS😊
what would u think is the highest handicap to play with these ?
hello mate. great question! I think it would be wrong of me to say as i have no idea. All i can say is, Mesh who plays on the channel is a high handicap golfer and he likes playing with them. If you get a chance if look at any recent videos that features mesh, he is using this model. I am sorry if this is no help at all.
What shafts were you using?
Hello mate... Stiff kbs tour 105
what shaft is on your irons?
I have swapped to 101t irons now
The 101 have kbs tour 105 which they don't make anymore. They are now kbs tour lite
The 101t irons have kbs max
How long did they take to come in?
Hard to remember this far down the line but maybe couple months
Is it just me or does he look like a British Tom Cruise?
👌😅 thanks I will take that. Best comment ever 🙌
What's the golf course??
Called little Channels Essex mate
Sub 70 has the same thing. Everyone copying whats popular.
Yeah you could say that for everyone can't you. I suppose if there is a good model or idea then everyone will always have their own I interpretation of it. Do you play any?
@@GOLFDAYS Sub 70 699 pro's
Cool. Did you go down to their fitting shop
@@GOLFDAYS I live no where near their fitting shop. Just used previous fitting specs. Worked out fine.
You should sign with Takomo😼👍🏻
I would love to if they would have me 😅 I am in discussions with them about wedges so hopefully get some of them to review 🙌
A friend bought these. I had the opportunity to hit them on the range. The top line is the thickest I’ve ever seen. Massive head, absolute cheap garbage.
😅 I suggest you don't buy them then. You obviously haven't seen my TAYLORMADE aeroburners. That's a thick top line
