Absolutely beautiful irons! I hear nothing but good about them. Tim has a great looking swing as well!!
Great job showing the differences in these clubs, Tim. Can’t wait to play with my 201s when I order them this winter!
Let's have a video about the takomo obsidian shafts. It's long overdue
The 83 mph swing speed you used on the 1st knockdown shot is probably closer to my swing speed. I remember you doing a video with a slowed down swing. I'll have to watch that again. (70 yrs. playing to about a 10 after a long layoff and working back down nicely. I have 714 AP1s and wonder what difference I would see with maybe some 101s.
I play my 201's off of a 15 handicap (going down) and I haven't looked back.
I picked up a set of 101t to replace my 12 year old gamers. Currently around a 20 handicap and coming down with lessons. I have been loving everything about the 101t irons. They are forgiving with good distance, look sound and feel amazing, and the extra spin and angle you get over the 101 really help stick the greens on approach. I use to dread hitting irons but they are quickly becoming my favorite.
Thoughts on a 10 hdcp working to go low and picking the 301 CB's? I've been using Nike VR Pro Combo's w/ dynamic gold s300 for not quite 10 years, and the 301 CB's or 301 Combo seem "close" to the VR's? Haven't had time in the past handful of years to put in the range/course time but will be starting to next year =)
Love Takomo as well as the videos! Thx again!
301CB all the way!
hi I am a 9 handicap and am 59 years old having a tough time whether to go 101's or 101T's in the Obsidian graphite shafts or Fujikura Atmos Red's can there be an Obsidian review compared to the Fujikura and a steel shaft thx cheers from Canada
His swing speed slowed as he progressed through the clubs
Great Video Sir..!
Thanks for sharing..! 🍻
Oh the things I would do to own a set of 201’s
I kind of disagree with this video, even though the advice is a good starting point. I am probably around 16 handicap, or was when I bought my 301 Combo Takomos about 6 weeks ago. Now I reckon I’m about a ten handicap and that’s because with these irons I am now, for the first time in my life, hitting ball then turf and therefor compressing the golf ball and having more accuracy and consistency. It was these clubs that helped get me there.
If you can, find a way to try out each of the models and go with the ones that inspire you. I wanted better feedback on miss hits and off centre strikes so ditched the Ping G430 game improvement irons.
I have had 101s, 201s, 101Ts. When I started with the 101s I was a 15 HCP. I instantly sold them for 201s. Played the 201s for 50 rounds and switched to the 101Ts for a tad more forgiveness. I am now a 12hcp and the 101Ts keep improving my game. Amazing irons! Amen Takomo
Tim , I’m 70 years old, and a 10 handicap from the senior tees. When is Takomo going to come out with a senior graphite shaft ? I’m really looking at the 101 irons .
Would you consider a 10 handicap a “mid “ handicap..? Cheers…
When will you get these clubs into retail places where consumers can test these irons before buying them?
When are they going to come out with more left handed stuff like the driver and fairway woods?
Dang Tim! 190 carry 7 iron? Nice. I need that distance
I'm a 10 , and use 201 "s Don't hit as far but control is great , feel is so sweet
Thanks! Exactly the video I wanted to see. Much appreciated!
I don’t understand what Takomo doesn’t offer a combo set
can't wait to get Tokomos. Just started this year with an old set of Nike irons. Do you have any suggestions on how to get fitted for shafts, lie etc since Tokomo is direct to consumer?
70 year old, 10 handicap w 100 rounds/year…. 8 handicap w/b nice.
I Played custom Cobra forged tec x unsuccessfully this year, with less distance and no swing feeling.
I'm looking for simple straight flight distance, ie 101s, but saw your swing speed unrealistic for me. But your knock down speed seems closer to me but found your 101t knockdown longer than your full and knockdown 101…. im confused on the best club for me.
2. Would prefer if you could show club performance with lower swing speed player.. 80mph?
Ready to order info!!!!
I thought you guys said in your other ad that 98% of golfers don't break 80 why pay 1000's for clubs? Now you targeting golfers at 10 handicap?
As a 10-handicap, this video really nailed what I'm looking for. I've got a set of 201's coming for Christmas, can't wait! Video idea – make the short trip down to Whitney and let's play White Bluff!
My only question… When is Golfsidekick making another appearance?
Enjoyed this one. Are we due a review of new wedges. I’m in the market for new wedges for next season and would like convincing that thinking of Takomo wedges is the right choice versus the major brands
I recently just purchased the 201's and although I am still transitioning into them from a "Game Improvement" iron… the feel thus far is AMAZING!!! The forgiveness is AWESOME!!! They look INCREDIBLE!!! I am a 10.8HCP and hoping to go into the single digits soon. Great job Takomo!!
I do not know my handicap, but I know it is high since I will normally shoot high 90's up to 120. I would like to see a video with these same clubs with a golfer similar to me. I am going to get better and I want a set of Takomo irons. I know at face value I should get the 101s but would I benefit from playing something else and "growing" into them. I volunteer to be the person in the video if need be.
Question about shafts: i played mizuno hotmetals with nippon modus 105 R, lovely feel. Upgraded to cobra forged tec with kbs $ taper lite stiff and i dont like em, they to hard. i can flush them , but it dont feel smooth, 2 much work..swingspeed around 85 7i..How are the tours?
I just started playing again last fall after a ten year gap and I ordered the 301cb's. Love the clubs but realized i'm getting to old so I ordered the 201's this summer. Love the clubs but still need more distance because i'm old and beat up, lol. I would happily trade both sets for the 101's. I guess that's where I should have started to begin with. Takomo irons are the best clubs in the world.
Great video. We need video about graphite shafts. There is little or none information about shafts for golfers with slow swing speed.
how about 201/101T combo set. Extra forgiveness for long irons.
Over the last 2 years I'm down from an 18 to an 14.2 This season picked up some 201s and absolutely love them, and also was able to drop to a 11.6
Clubs = nothing……Swing = everything. Don't be fooled by the BS.
I’m the guy who should use the 201s or 101t buuttttttttt. The 301s are so pretty and I’m happy to miss hit a few to then get that forged flushed feeling. Even better if you guys released copper irons again. Take my money!
