- NEW GOLF CLUB EXPERT explains which irons YOU should use! When buying new golf clubs there are so many area in the market that are a minefield... should you buy the most forgiving gol clubs? the most forgiving irons are generally not the same for everyone... just like the best golf clubs aren't the same for everyone, the best irons for one golfer are certainly not the same for another golfer, maybe you need powerful golf clubs that go a long way, other golfers may need blade golf clubs to work the ball and shape shots... others might need budget golf clubs to match what they want to spend... in this video I take a look around Takomo HQ in Finland to speak to the guys and see which of their golf clubs would potentially be best for you... let's do it... and let's do it now!
When you first went down the shop I thought....wow they've got Tommy Fleetwood there....
100 years ago
I’m definitely that golfer, I play for pleasure (knowing when I stripe it) not for score . Can wait for the 301 mb/cb combo come out
No matter how many times I see those clubs, I can't get over how absolutely stunning they look!
Takomo success story…
Since replacing my TaylorMade Speedblade irons for the Takomo 101 irons I have dropped my handicap by 5 strokes.
I love them!
ive got the speedblades in my bag currently and am looking at these....
Love my 101's. The new heads look great, but I need the distance that my clubs give me. Plus, I kind of like the look of the old school 101s. Thanks, James and thanks Takomo!
really love my 101's irons. these irons are the real deal!
I ordered the 201’s. The specs are perfect for my game. Glad the lofts aren’t too strong. Right in the middle
Have you hit the 201s yet? I’ve been thinking of getting me a set and just wanna know how someone without a camera in their face feels about them
Loved this video! Thank you! I loved the 201s after seeing you hit them. Great irons! I have to say that the 101T looks really awesome though and from the info that Takomo showed on their new video, its going to be a hit I think as it ticks like every box: player's size head, great lines, normal lofts, reduced offset and still with the hollow body for some forgiveness. Looks like a winner! The 301s look great, but I have a feeling that 101T is going be a true hit with a lot of golfers. Cheers!
For UK and North American golfers Haywood Golf offer very similar irons!
TBH I think a lot of these DTC brand get the same mold for the hollow body irons and slap their logo on them.
Haywood, Caley, Sub 70, and the Tokomo 101's all have identical hollow body irons.
But luckily the more mid-handicap and player's irons have more variety and unique designs.
Great quality brands and glad to see them starting to get more attention, thouroughly deserved.
Love their clean design. Perhaps my favourite looking clubs.
Stunning looking irons the v101, remind me very much of the Mizuno MP33's
Welcome to Finland James. Winter was cruel for our golf courses, but hope that you will enjoy your stay.
201s always give a a mizuno mp56 I used to game that iron and the feel was amazing from the diamond shaped reinforced area in the cutout
I just wish they had more options for the lefties.
Yes we are limited to the 101 irons only which look great.
We miss out on all of these dtc clubs.
@@savingtruckertom I got fitted for PXG 0211 DC irons in Vaughan, ON.
I live in Saskatchewan.
@@savingtruckertom You can order the Takomo irons from their site online from Canada, either with their fits or if you know your fitted specs you can order from their custom page and choose lofts and lies. For PXG, from Saskatchewan, it might be easiest to actually go to PXGs headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona and buy them there. And they can fit you for what works. Cheers!
Hearing more and more about Takomo irons. So far all good. My game is changing and I may have grown out of my clubs so it could be time for a change….. Thanks guys.
101T - I’m excited to see all the changes that are coming to the game of golf and these guys are about to be at the forefront of that.
just think Takomo is the coolest company. Wish i had time to visit when during July 7 and 12 stopovers in Helsinki on way to Tampere. Own the 101 irons. Best i’ve ever used in 65 years of golf
More on the new 301’s please JR!!
Impressed with the looks of all there irons 101 look a lot like my p790s if they play aswell great value for money
101T I think is what I’m going to pull the trigger on. Currently play Hogan PTX and they seem very similar
I am seriously thinking of getting a set of these Irons. I have been really reading up.
me too. ;~))
Sweet looking! All models are jewel like.
101T they look wonderful
Discovered the Takomo irons thanks to you. Now I need to decide between the 101 and 201. Would like a light flex shaft (senior) if such is available. I'll be ordering within the next week so trying to get all the spec's I can. Thanks for what you do and how you do it. Mike in South Carolina
Takomo 101T irons look good to me and playable for my level of striking.
Morning from Bama! Cant wait to hit these 101T irons
Everyone on here.. ohhh I want to try, and save money too.. the price point is where it's at bc of the direct to the buyer option.
All I have to say is look at the club. They've put time and money into an awesome looking club, they look very premium! I would say you get more than what you pay for. They had no issue being sold out of the OG 101s for almost a year..
Would love it if they would R&D and develop a single length set from 4 to lob wedge traditionallofted and with lie and offset the same throughall the irons. More bounce with the wedges and the most with the sand wedge. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I have 201's love them now need the wedges
I was really close to buying these, but then found out callaway sold new last gen irons at discounted prices. Picked the Apex 19 at $600 over the takomo 201. I had tried apex before and that was a deciding factor. Not being able to test takomo in stores is a bummer.
Takomo irons all look great though, they're doing a fantastic job
You may have made a good choice. I bought the 101's sight unseen based on this channel recommendation and assumed the fitting would work. Wrong. I think the value of getting fit for irons carries more premium than you think. Another thing is feel - you better test out the feel of the clubs you are going to buy with the right shaft in them - otherwise you are screwed. The confidence you have from knowing you can rely on your iron shot in a clutch situation can make the difference between going for the long iron in your bag on a bad lie versus taking the layup route.
101T - send these down to Cape Town, hand deliver and make a couple of Vids in the area. 🙂
101T is where I would sit but they all look amazing.
They’re making some slick looking irons. Hopefully I get to try those 101Ts 😁.
Thanks for sharing James and the irons look awesome
Cant wait for my 102T come in!
Been tempted to pull the trigger on a set of these! Wish I was able to go somewhere and swing them first.
Don't - pls test the irons you want to buy with the right shafts in them. See me - stuck with 101's that i bought sight unseen and I don't like the way they play for me.
@@johnjacobson2010 That’s exactly why I’m hesitant on buying them. I’ll just stick with what I have.
The 201s remind me of the Z745s.
I’ve got the 101s and I love those irons.
Love the Batgirl
I just started watching your video and I hope when this is all done you guys do a still shot of all the heads and tell us what they are hollow body muscle back so forth a still shot so we can screenshot to save them I know how to order and what to order and white order
Any idea when the 301's will be available.
Would love to try out those blades, i'm exactly the guy who just wants to hit that 4-iron good once =DDD
I love the style of the irons and I’d love to see the irons smoked out so not black but a dark grey colour. I’m also looking forward to seeing hybrids or utility irons. Are they also going to do woods and drivers?
Playing the 201 now... The 101T seems interesting as do the 301MBs!!
Ross, do tell us, how are they? Agree with 101T
What’s your handicap?
Nice looking irons. I would consider these. I’d like to try them.
See if anyone in your local market has a set and have a hit at the range with them. I always ask to hit peoples clubs at the range if I see something new. I have the 201s and let people hit them.
The fact the club head attaches to the heel, not the middle of clubs causes momentum to twist the club open and closed - to the extent the golfer’s grip on the handle let it - which can be easily felt by simply swinging a club with one hand with the toe and face oriented up, down or sideways. If you do that same one handed swing drill with club heads of different designs - classic blades vs. perimeter weight ‘game improvement’ you will discover that the more mass the club head has in the toe relative to the heel the more the club will try to twist in the hand when swung.
That leads to the question of what is the ideal distribution of mass in a club head? Karsten Solheim asked himself that question in the late 1950s after taking up golf in his 30s using an old school Bullseye putter, a putter style which is so toe heavy that if balanced on a finger it hangs toe down. All that mass in the toe causes that style putter to try to twist face open like a swinging gate in the backswing and closed in the downswing. The face starts square to the SWING ARC but then deviates from it due to the excessive toe bias.
Solheim, who was a GE Engineer, understood the solution was to redistribute the mass on the club head heel-to-toe until went he swing it back on HIS natural swing arc and speed the balance of the mass in the club automatically stayed square not to the target but to that natural balanced swing arc. Bringing face back square to ball consistently became much easier because of that because the uncontrollable action of the club was no longer a variable!
If you balance a PING Anser style putter on a finger it will hang with face at about a 45° angle /. The same is true for his first PING EYE irons because it turns out that is the distribution of mass which is ideal for keeping the face automatically aligned to the natural rotary swing arc the golfer’s biomechanics.
I started in golf in 1983 with a set of Browning Premiere irons which today would be considered mid-handicapper “players” irons because they were blade style but heel biased. In 2010 I bought a set of custom fit Cobra S9s which were marketed as “game improvement” and found they did make shots more accurate because their club head mass distribution was similar to the PING EYE and for that reason “self-steering”. But compared to my old set they had les “feel” when I opened or closed the face and stance intentionally to hit a controlled fade or draw.
When a golfer gets to the point of having a very consistent balanced swing which is the prerequisite for shaping shots predictably they will be able to feel the difference between a MB blade, CB blade and High-MOI “ game improvement club from the feel of how momentum acting on the different distribution of mass in the toe tries to twist the shaft in the hands. That “feel” factor is what allows the most elite ball strikers like Tiger, Phil and Bubba Watson to have situational awareness of face angle during all parts of the swing and the uncanny ability to adjust it mid-swing to either correct a less than perfect swing or put spin on a golf ball to the produce extreme shot shapes they are famous for.
Yes, 201 hasnt got a story ir a brand itself...it should be more than "its a cavity back iron and very nice one"...i mean i feel they miss something. Is there enough technique in them? . I bet, but i feel mayde not.! You should brand them more..and better.! But just.my thoughts! And they are very g.looking
Hi James I really thinking of switching over to the 101T for 2024 I'm currently using 710 AP2 4-pw I love them but feel I need to change I'm playing off 12 and I'm 53 would you recommend these
Those are some great looking irons.
101T looks great
Love your videos James and Chris! I’m an 8 handicap looking to replace my old Speedblades. I’m looking at 790’s, T 100t and T 200. I would like a thinner top line. Would you recommend 101t or 201’s?
790s are trash. Domt waste your money. Lots of quality issues
James I live 20 miles from Pinehurst and you would think that I could find a place to demo those awesome looking clubs. I haven’t seen any yet on the practice ranges but if I do I’m going to be asking a lot of questions. I need to bag a combo of cb/mb just because I want the experience. Important question here, can I use the Ping fitting chart and be accurate with my specs? I’m 3 degree upright with +1/2” to the shaft?
Just a shame there's no UK sellers.. I've heard some get stung with import taxes?
Would you say the 201s are forgiving?
Clubs look fantastic
They look fantastic
I wish I would have heard of these irons before I bought mine
Just curious never saw an announcement of who won 101T clubs?
Come on the team James and be a Takomo Ambassador
David - i saw the 201's on your channel and ended up buying the 101's and i would say - no - i rather buy my mizuno's. The feel is sorely lacking on these.
@@johnjacobson2010 you should have bought the 201s I haven’t reviewed the 101s as I have the 201s and they’re fantastic 😊
Such a shame I can’t try these like we can with say sub70 or PXG. Really like the look of the clubs but no idea which would be best for me. Do they explain anywhere who each style of club is for.
James bring them over to the UK?
Otherwise how much is a flight? They are such good value, could probably fly over and try them cheaper than what some bigger brands charge.
They look almost identical to the Sub 70 699s and 659cbs. I would love to try them.
Good looking clubs. Are they available in the USA?
101T great irons
I love the look!
@James Robinson Golf
Hey James from the states...I greatly appreciate all your videos!!
Being a 22 handicap and hoping to shave a few more off this season...what do you think would be the best club for me...101, 101t, 201?
I'm 64 years old and a 20 plus handicapper looking for a club that improve my game and lower my handicap. Which Takomo clubs should I be looking at? Can I get these clubs in Australia 🇦🇺?
New clothing sponsor?? Nice!
Takomo make the best looking golf clubs me thinks
These heads look very similar to Sub70 699s and 659cbs!
Can you get a component catalog?
You got a new sponsor
i want to try these!
101t love the new clubs
101/101T combo set please.
When will you be adding graphite shaft options to your irons?
Graphite shafts are available for the 101's. (Fujikura's or something called Obsidian)
How's the offset on these beauties compared to a mizuno cb or mb thanks
101T 🔥 🔥 🔥
James ... is that a Rolex Batman GMT II ?
101T
Liked this video.
The 101 looks VERY similar to the caley clubs !?!?!?
Love how often you post James.
love videos. but i think it’s time to upgrade microphone
Hi James, I’ve received a message from you saying I’ve won a prize (I did enter for the 101T) but as I’ve never won anything like this before I’m thinking it may be a scam message? Could you confirm please 🙏 ⛳️. Chew mate keep up the great work.
Check where the message is from Tony. It certainly isn’t from me. Good luck in the actual draw buddy
101T for lefties?
I have a set of Titleist t300. Which Takomo is the equivalent?
Probably the 101T’s
I LOVE MY TAKOMO 101s! With that being said I wish I'd have waited a few months and gotten the 101T. I'm hitting my 7 iron 190yds right now which makes gapping very hard at the shorter end of my bag, but I'm super excited for them to expand into drivers/woods.
Get the Kirkland wedges set and you’ll be golden my man
@@Iamwrongbut I have 50,54,58 honma wedges they are excellent
@@How2HateYT oh well then you seem like you got the setup. If you’re hitting your seven iron 190 then your pitching wedge I assume goes like 145? If that’s the case then the 50 after that seems good for the next gap and so on for your other wedges
@@Iamwrongbut You're pretty much dead on. PW is 145, the 50 is about 120-125
James, I really like your content but I wish you could improve the sound levels in your videos. I have a hard time hearing you. Thank you.
Just another club that’s not in senior or ladies flex I suppose 🙃. Sure the looks nice.
Im that guy thats wants to hit a pure bladed 4 iron once!!!
My brother and I both tried our Dad's pure bladed 2 iron, what a train wreck. It went straight for a whopping 100 yards.
The 201 irons would be a lefties dream iron for me.
I kind of wish they would make a set for single length golfers
haych-queue?
Did someone mention, "Giveaways"???????????
Do you have a dealer in the philippines? Pls pm me. Thx
Nice batgirl :)
It's going left cuz the club is way to short for him
No lefties .
👍👍👍
These clubs have sisu!
The sound quality is so bad
