REVIEW: Takomo Iron 101 Unboxing And First Look

If you’re anything like me, you’re definitely a mid-handicap golfer, you definitely want 10 more carry yards per club, and you certainly wish you could hit blades.

Blades do look awesome and for an advanced golfer can add control to shot shaping that the average hack would pay for, but let’s face facts, blades are really difficult to strike well. Enter Takomo Golf Irons 101.

For a little insight, Takomo is a direct to consumer golf club manufacturer that offers clubs that are comparable to their big named counterparts for a fraction of the cost.

From game improvement to forged players muscle and cavity backed irons, and wedges, Takomo offers not only an inexpensive alternative, but they also resemble blades really closely, but they aren’t blades at all.

Straight out of the box with Lamkin grips and KBS Max shafts, the hollow body steel muscle back iron impresses immediately. The two piece head and stainless steel, precision milled face promotes maximum ball speed, even on miss-hits.

A bladelike hollow body design gives forgiveness without sacrificing distance, with the stock setup offering high launch and distance.

These clubs look really slick. The style can pass for a blade from far away. Designed with those who slice, fade, or tend to lose distance, the Iron 101’s have the reputation of taking a golf game to the next level.

Just the thought of adding one to two club’s length worth of distance has the slicer in me dying to get these out on the course.

Starting at $459 on the Takomo Golf  website, the Iron 101’s can be custom fit to your specifications for $609, with mods available such as shaft length, shaft material, lie angle adjustment, and grip.

For those who have their own shafts in mind, you can order the 101 club heads only for $300. Takomo has taken the direct factory to consumer route, so finding these anywhere other than their website might be a challenge.

The bottom line is that these clubs are offered as game improving and distance adding irons with tons of forgiveness. If you slice or fade and lose distance, these might be the game changer that you were looking for.

Added bonus points for a seriously awesome design.
