Thanks

Good yeah so we hit that this morning right enough of that good morning all you lovely people today I’m going to talk about oh your bag nearly went your bag nearly went Zach jeez right today we’re just going to go through as a high to Mid handicapper after a year of using Tacomo

101 tons will be staying in the bag this year and what do I think of them after a year of using them so we’re going to try that today hope you enjoy it hope G to enjoy if you do do all the light stuff I keep forgetting to say that so if you

Can can you do that that’d be great but let’s just see so yeah Toom 101 T’s after a year of using them what am I really thinking let’s get into it I’ve got a Tacoma wedge in my hand wind is downhill um down up wind sorry the wind

Is up wind down wind wind is into our face right I’m also using a new golf ball it could be in the bag it might be a two in one video today right just get one off nicely just one off nicely come on good strike let’s go didn’t see

It did you see it yeah okay so it was it was left but maybe not as bad as it could have been tugged it basically so good morning all of you lovely people it’s a Grim Day miserable Winter’s day still win but we’re trying to bring you some sort of content to

Enjoy I did try and get mesh down but mesh he’s just a busy man but we are going to get mesh back cuz he is missing it is just so busy of work at the moment but we will have him back soon so we will have some more light-hearted fun

With mesh soon we are going to be bringing you more break night this year but we’re just waiting for it to get a bit dry cuz there’s no point doing it in the boggy mess is there do all the like and sub stuff I keep forgetting I get too excited

Playing and I forget to say it but if you could do that that’d be great but yeah we talk about a few things today my Tacoma irons and uh a new golf ball that I’m playing so from here you’re not going to see anything down it’s just get onto the

Green I’ve got a a 56 which is I like my 56 but that’s too much that came out hot I’ll tell you why that came out hot as I’ve hit the ground it’s like kind of catapulted it I don’t know how you explain it you might know

What I’m talking about where you hit it and it just seems to go go boom anyway there you go I might actually talk further about this ball in more detail I wasn’t planning to but this ball actually that’s this is surprising me 370 yd Par Four it’s slight dog leg right

Slightly I think that’s held its line is it to shot didn’t work out very well to be honest with you we are going to talk more about the irons um we’ve got 162 yards left to go a good six iron would be there right in this weather it’s a no I forget

I forgot I’m in the bunker so actually probably won’t get there because I’m not very good at a bunkers Fairway ones anyway um yeah we will talk more about irons shortly let’s just try and get out I suppose see if we can get some sort of

Swing on it I don’t know how to be honest woo I got it out all right I just went straight into the tree excellent moving on now I’m I’ve been playing the 101 T’s now in the B for about a year about a year I’ve had them

Adjusted to me and I’ll talk through that adjustment as well but as a high to Mid handicap I fluctuate around that should you be playing the 101 T’s I got 143 yards in I got eight iron in hand get over these trees get it on the

Green it’s a good smack whether it’s a full smack on the green for a mid to high handicapper I don’t think the handicap comes into it if I’m honest I think it’s more about your ball striking ability now my ball striking isn’t necessarily the best in the world I don’t tend to

Find the face too often or the middle of the face I hope I find the face somewhere but don’t find the middle of the face too often and if you miss the face with the 101 T’s there is a bit of forgiveness but you do get drop off you

Do get a bit of drop off whereas with the 101s I was playing the 101s it’s been a while since I played them so I might give them a go again I might actually try the one ones again the one ones I just didn’t like visually

The look of them as much I preferred the shorter face or the shorter head thinner thinner Top Line that kind of stuff I like the smaller discreeter looking face but for the for sake of forgiveness it might be worth looking at them again but yeah if you if you don’t find the middle

Of the face too much the want I one on te’s might not be the best in the world because they do have a bit of drop off if you miss the center let’s try and putt It that’s slower than that though didn’t even get it halfway but that wasn’t right move on to next hole we continue talking about him um also this new ball that I’m playing yeah what’s that fogy fogy Par Four again a slight dog leg right go over that bunker normally is

The tiger line uh 420 yards now so H miss this Hal sometimes you can do it really well sometimes it’s not the best but we’re going to go with the confidence today it’s a bit FY did you see that one yeah you did cuz

I again I saw none of it didn’t see it I didn’t see it at all so it went it went left yeah it didn’t draw it didn’t fade I don’t know what my shot shape is anymore 190 yards left to go wasn’t the best of drives as you know

But hey it’s in play so we’re GNA hit a Hybrid now which should get us right on the green if I hit this correctly right if I hit this correctly this is the club it’s well above my feet yeah that was really poor it was above my feet as well

Literally so far above my feet it’s like above my ankles 90 yards wind behind us it’s going to fly in it so if I hit a strong 56 it should make it onto the green cuz it is the wind is behind us oh no thin it sit now you little weasel that

That is such a bad shot that is such a bad shot but it’s worked all right to now be pin eye so poor that’s so poor oh God right next next what I’m going to do is we’re going to talk about my setup my setup with the irons and how I’ve had

Them fitted to me how I’ve had them adjusted to me have had them yeah basically fitted to myself so you can buy them right off the rack right unless you know your spe you buy them straight off the rack uh on the Tacoma website

Just get get the irons I then got them a little bit adjusted so I’ve got them now one degree U right and I got them because I tend to I tend to get bit floaty bit spinny I had them jacked down a bit by well I got them jacked down to

The 101s so the 101s are a little bit stronger lofted but because obviously like I said I liked the look of the 101 T’s I wanted the look of the 101 T’s but I wanted the performance of the 101s now it’s all right I’ve jacked them up but

That still doesn’t mean that I’ve got enough face for forgiveness right so that that forgiveness Factor still comes into play with the 101 T’s but yes so I’m using the KBS Max shafts which are light shafts cuz I just put lighter ones might get that looked at anyway but I do

Prefer them uh just the lamp King grip in midsize jacked up Lofts with a smaller red going about durability in a minute but yeah maybe the Forgiveness side of things maybe I should be looking at the 101’s again well this is my par part and I got away of it after my

Skanky Scully thin Hey listen take the r with the smooth wouldn’t you cuz sometimes you get nothing out of a good shot so I can’t Pat it because I’ve got a here in front of me I got a big denty thing so I’m going to have to just chip

Over the top little bumpy run on just get it over this little lip let it roll out a bit that’s what we’re going to do it lovely tell you what there’s one thing why I play here in the winter are little channels because their greens is superb the drainage is superb it’s just

Brilliant this is why if you’re playing winter golf check out little Channels right another Point another bogey yeah as I said we are going to be doing more break 90s I promise you that cuz I love making them but while it’s winter like this it’s just impossible to get round and do a decent score with with just really bad mushing conditions

So please bear with us cuz we are going to do more break 90s we got a break 45 today a little channels just because the system here the drain system everything is super you can see already from the green how well it’s holding up and we just had crap weather

Um but yeah thanks for the support we will bring you more content this year and we’ve got some exciting news coming in the summer as well so stick with us next hole is a short PA 4 281 yds just going to hit a 7 IR into position that was so

Horrible that was so horrible oh my god oh you absolute swine that was so close to being good as well thinned it thinned it got through amazingly got through so there’s a little bump and run now just bump it up let it roll up I did promise you going to talk about

Durability let’s just show you this eight iron there you go so I’ve been using these eight this eight iron this set of irons for a whole year durability I’d say is pretty Bob on spot on there you go oh that looks pretty good don’t it there but that doesn’t

Happen so yeah durability there’s I’ve had people comment on video before say oh they don’t last 6 months was absolute garbage cuz I’ve been playing these religiously for a whole year down the range if I can down midweek playing every Sunday if I can as you’ll see from

The videos so to say there’s no durability in these is absolute garbage well-made brilliant clubs just maybe not as forgiven as as what I should be playing right right a little bump and run let’s go that was awful I mean it that ball popped off the face well quick like

Trying to get used to these balls as well I haven’t got another one on me but yeah very interesting ball the AIL Go full very Interesting Another bogey right next hole PA three over the bunkers I got a little AR in hand little a in me hand see yeah that looks pretty good that looks pretty good doesn’t it yeah good shot happy with that on the green right that was an89 as well didn’t catch

It too well caught it right at the bottom but it still got up there still got the flight so like I say there is an element of forgiveness maybe just not the full forgiveness that me of my level should be utilizing right for the birdie let’s get a birdie today come On [Applause] we got it all on camera at all next hole 270 yards not hitting my driver too well today which is a shame cuz I was hoping if I was hitting my driver well today I was going to go for it but we’re not we’re just going to rack up the old pars

Today Didn’t go anywhere oh yeah is right in that is I am the worst person when it comes to taking in the climate and and everything else the wind is right into our face is it the wind is in our face yeah so all I’ve done is just send a floaty spinny

Ball up there there and it’s just gone nowhere strike was good though like I’ve got nothing here what club I got 60 yeah uh just a swipe at it just try and swipe at it just to pop it up see that’s why you swipe at it look at this mush down here

Sit okay we’re on the green that’s all right though I’ll just do that it’s all right Hey listen these Cil golfs feel great to Pat with after that clutch up clutch up Bo bogey we are five overp par as it stands excellent right 160 yards wind interace I got a six

Iron not it’s not really going to reach is it but it doesn’t matter to be honest just get get it there that wind right that wind is in our face I ain’t getting it there unless I knuckle it just get a good strike on it that’s all I care about good

Strike that’s a good strike it’s just going to H up in the wind though yeah I expected that to be short but again as I said overall the idea was literally get a good strike on that and that was Bloody lovely right little bump up come on

Ah not what we wanted to do was it not what we wanted to do honestly just poor no right oh dear right so we ended up doing a double on that hole which is appalling uh absolutely appalling but that’s all right we like a BL up hole occasionally

On a round right 176 yards downhill I got six on again again being short is not a problem for me don’t mind that fatted it go serious fat that’s right there we like a fat right so it wasn’t a great shot compared to the last strop we hit when we were

Into the wind that was a bad shot but it’s okay because again we’re short the only I got is the bunker to come over but if you take that out there isn’t really anything to worry about so 56 flop it over the top bounce it in lovely job let’s go

That’s pretty good little nipnip let’s go so not bad little bit of check on it we got this now for the par walk whever par would be nice oh went SC SC scoot around the edge brilliant little bogey last ho we’re eight over par some poor golf some good golf in there today

Um but ultimate like I said it was more about talk about Tacoma isons if there’s anything in more detail you want me to go in just drop me a message below but it’s a year run using the T irons are they staying in the bag yes but there

Might be a slight change we might go with a combo set which is going to be 101 T’s and then a 654 in the 101s that might be what we’re looking at but I’ll keep you informed about that anyway so 348 yards Par Four let’s go is there anyone there is there

Anyone there oh no we’re right okay SLE slightly leaky slight leaky but it’s all right we’ll take that one so straight into win the driver wasn’t the best but it’s okay okay got seven IR in hand if I can get a seven IR there should be all

Right cuz it’s 153 yard to the pin come on good seven IR would be Great Struck it nice it’s just a little bit tugged to the Left it’s pin eye pin eye just tugged it left that’s a shame so as we close up this hole as I said let me know if there’s any other questions you want to know about the Tacoma irons uh but that’s essentially where I’m at 101 T’s and a 101 combo Set uh great

Durability as I said on the 101 T’s which are for a better player or a better ball Striker off slightly off M hits you’re going to get more drop off which obviously then means you’d go for the 101s because you get a bit more forgiveness right so that’s why I’m

Going to go for a bit of a combo set but that’s what we’re going to go into going into this year here hopefully good golf coming up currently sitting 8 over now let’s try and get up and down finish 8 over par in Winter golf would be quite a

Good achievement I reckon let’s close it out let’s close it out try and Chip it close we’ll have a par that’d be a good result today come On go go go ah not too bad but not fantastic give myself a lot of work for the par but it’s a par part nonetheless come On oh that W bad stroke on it at all right there we go finish on a bogy ladies g n over par hope you enjoyed it I am sorry it’s not break 90 yet I promise you there is more break 990 coming up it’s a break 45 but a break 90

Break 90s are coming there on the way it’s just it’s still bit wet and horrible so I wanted to bring you something and talk to you about something so hope you’ve enjoyed that big Lu to all of you do all the like and sub stuff if you need more information

About Toom is just let me know I happy to through what I’ve got but let’s go see you in the next one

  1. Got my 101T's in the garage waiting for spring. Same situation as far as hdcp goes. They do look and feel amazing. Great video as always.

  2. "Ah, you absolute swine!" 🤣🤣 I will have to remember to use that one when I next thin a shot – and it won't be long until I do haha. Good video as always mate! 😎😎

  3. Did you buy the Takomo's online from America, and if so, did you have to pay import duty? So what ball you using now?

  4. Looking forward to my 101s arriving. I thought about the 101Ts but I have to be honest, I’m not the longest hitter and at my age it’s not going to improve. I need accuracy and a good short game. Oh and BETTER EFFING WEATHER! Sorry for the shouting 🥴. Great content Lewis, as always

  5. Be good to see a real head to head between 101 and 101T. How they look, and perform. I’m ready to order a set of takomo, 13 hcp but can’t decide which I want. Soooo wish they did a combo set 😢

  6. Another enjoyable video in what look like challenging conditions.

    Some good golf played, I think most of us are hoping the weather picks up soon 😂

    Keep up the work looking forward to the next one ⛳️

  7. I have a couple of friends at West End using those Lewis and both say they’re great. What’s really great about them is the pricing for tight Yorkshire lads 😉
    Good to see the durability is very good too! Mind you, so long as you keep them clean and dry them after use they should last as well as any other club. Twee had a set of Mizuno back in the day, put them into his locker wet and when he got them out the following week…rust spots all over them. Just proving it’s the care you take of clubs and not the name on the back of them.
    Enjoyable vlog again Lewis…I think we’re all desperate to get away from this awful weather we’ve been having 😪

  8. Just got a set of these last week. So far they feel really good and I've enjoyed my practice sessions with them. Already feel like I'm getting a bit more yardage than my previous ones.
