- If you saw my recent review of the Takomo 101T irons, you'll know my first impressions were good, but in order to game them permanently, they'll need to perform well on the course!
I took my Takomo's out at the beautiful hidden gem of a golf course that is Boomerang Golf Club - a course definitely worth playing.

definitely post the back nine...gotta see how the round ends!
That chip on 7 was delightful, and the wedge putt was cheeky!
You should jump in that new car of yours and get yourself down to Boomerang for a hit! 😀
Love Boomerang, thought that spot for the intro looked familiar! One of the great courses!
Small world! Yeah it was a great little track, loved it.
I was looking for a review on these irons and found this one which is on my home course! The 6th hole is one of two holes that I have birdied in my 20 years of golfing hahaha. This is awesome, thanks!
Brilliant!! Glad you liked it.
Just got these two weeks ago. Practice well and started to play a few rounds. Found I have to club down now because these clubs work so well.
Glad you like them! What did you change to them from?
@@JonPerkinsGolf some hand me down titleist APS2 716s that was set up for a scratch Golf pro friend of mine. I needed more beginner clubs
what shafts are you using on your 101Ts ?
I absolutely love my 101t set. I bought them as a backup set for travel but I can’t take them out of my bag. My gamers are the Mizuno JPX919 Hot Metal Pros, but I’m not sure which ones will end up as the backup set.
Good info. I liked hearing your thoughts on these. Would have preferred no background music in the video.
Thanks and thanks for the feedback
That 7th hole is a tricky one. Lost a ball in that water the other week
I figured I wouldn't be the first 😂 Fun little course.
I’m usually not one to have a 4 iron. I suppose with the price of these I could just not put it in the bag. Honestly would like to try these out because why not?
I did recently get some Ping i230’s - although not a distance iron the sound and feel are pretty amazing so I’m interested in comparing them
Sounds like you've got a great set right now, but hey, if you can test them both, why not!
Interesting video Jon. Also have your previous model in my bag (i500). Really curious if you are going to switch that quick to the Takomo irons! When are you going to decide?
That's a very good question! Really enjoying the sound and feel of the 101T's, going to get them onto the sim to test some numbers. Thanks for following along!
Hi Jon,
From watching your videos for a while, i suggest the 101 short irons launch higher and fly shorter - eg wedge and nine iron in particular - than your 525 regular distances. Might be worth checking the stated and actual lofts of those v your 525’s? Sim will be interesting too.
Same shafts, same length, lie angle and lofts as the 525’s?
Interesting pick up! I will look into that and definitely going to get them on the sim to look at numbers.
(In theory) the 101t's should be around 1-2 degrees more lofted but thats based on stock standard and not checked.
Same length and lie. Both stiff shafts but the weight of shaft may differ as different brands. I think the ones in the Takomo are slightly lighter.
Thanks for watching and following along!
Hi Jon I've enjoyed your videos for some time and they're improving all the time, well done. Quick question, where did you get the takomos? I was looking for new irons recently and wanted to try them, but couldn't find any here in Aus. Thanks mate.
Thanks Simon, I really appreciate that! That's arguably the downside of Takomo...you buy them online (their website), so can't try them first. It saves money but means you have to take a leap of faith on the fitting specs.
Realize this comment is from a while back, but I'll respond for general awareness.
If you read takomo's return policy, you are allowed to try out the set using the 7 iron only, if you don't like it, you can return them. All other clubs must have the factory plastic on them and be unused. I also believe there's time limit as well. Can't play half a season with their seven iron and then decide to send the set back 😂
Oh, also, it's for stock clubs only. If you customize shaft length, lie angle, loft, etc... they can't be returned
Great pick up@@andrewbock1575 thanks.
I would like to see a comparison between the 101T irons to the Takomo 201 irons
The 101T's are so good, it definitely has me wondering how the others all perform as well!
I shot my best score ever with my 101’s today.
@@sooners2win 🔥 great job, congrats!!
I have the 201's I bought heads only and had built with Project X LZ shafts. I don't have the 101t but have PXG Gen 3 P (bought at $99 a club when they closed out that model last year). I wanted to compare a traditional forged head to a hollow body with similar loft. I find the hollow body irons are just a slight bit more forgiving and noticeably gentler feeling on mishits. Both feel great on good strikes as do most well made irons. The 201 feels a bit more solid on good strikes and hollow body's feels a bit more effortless on good strikes. The 201's generate a bit more spin and I get more stopping power in the longer irons. Distance wise they are quite comparable. For me it comes down to what I find more pleasant. They both feel great and my scores are the same with either. It's great that one can get irons that perform as good as the name brands for much less cost.
what wedges did you use just the pw or did you use differnt?
I had my Ping Glide 3.0 54 degree with me for around the green. The Takomo set is PW-4, so I kept my Ping wedges in the bag (54 and 60 deg). Have you tried Takomo's?
@@JonPerkinsGolf thank you for the confirmation, and no but i am thinking about upgrading my current Wilson youth 2021 irons to tokomo 101 irons i don't know my handicap but i usually shoot around 90
@@samthecann good luck whichever way you decide to go! Enjoy
G'day , how do they compare to i 500 in terms of distance & feel , Do the 101 T's feel clicky ? cheers mate. Also can I ask how long to ship to Oz & cost in au $
Hey, thanks for the message. I prefer the Takomo feel and sound to my old i500's. The Pings were more clicky than these for sure.
In terms of distance, the i500's were pretty long from memory. I'd guess Takomo might be a fraction shorter than the i500's but I'm about to put them in the sim to look at actual numbers on the 101t's.
Believe they're usually around 6 weeks to get and in AUD maybe about $800 for the set?
@@JonPerkinsGolf Cheers for that.
These irons feel great at first, but they are very pooly made. If you don't pick it clean, the heads start bending back and then break off. They're good for about 12-18 months, but I've had them start bending in less than a month. I sent them back, thinking bad batch, it happens. Nope, replacements also bend and break. They actually had the audacity to blame KBS, which is the shaft that they come with. I let KBS know and they had a word with Takomo about throwing their name under the bus. Stay away from these clubs unless you want to be buying new clubs every year or two.
Wow, I can't say I've heard feedback like that before but thanks for sharing your experience.
see if there's any good feedback on them after 12 months of play. @@JonPerkinsGolf
This sounds like a bunch of make believe B.S. Thousands of sets of these have been sold and this is the only time I've heard this. Beyond that, the whole "I personally call KBS and they yelled at Takomo for me" story is not honest. Even if they did blame KBS (They wouldn't do that and tell you) and you did call KBS (you didn't) you would most certainly not be privy to what they discussed with thier customer. Your post smacks of a childs machinations. Where were they "bending"? You didn't say. On the hosel? The shaft? Where? Calling B.S. all around.
You might want to work on your ball striking. If this is true, which I don’t believe, you might be playing a lot of hard pan courses and coming in too steep.
@@Trainwheel_Time Ok, so I have the emails with both Takomo and KBS so let's just say we bet an even $1,000 and I'll send you the emails.
