Today, Ian and Mikey dive into the all-new Iron 101T from Takomo.
The Iron 101T is a refined version of the original Iron 101 and is aimed at players who are looking for a more forgiving iron with a more compact head and a thinner topline.
The Finnish manufacturer wanted to make a players distance iron packed with tech and beautiful looks. Blending distance, workability, and style in one comprehensive package.
The new design is targeted at more experienced players looking for a short blade with a traditional look and feel.

Watching tests like this is not only interesting for info about the clubs, but it's also equivalent to getting a degree in club fitting. Thank you Ian for being so generous with your expertise.

I own the 101 irons. I bought them after watching the review on this channel. They are beautiful & I can attest, the finish is very durable too! Their best characteristic is their remarkable consistency. There are NO jumpers… ever! A lot of Distance Irons have an annoying tendency to have these surprise flyers (where the ball goes 10-15 yards further than expected for no real reason), but my Takomo’s don’t. There are no surprises. I want my 7i to go 155yds, I know it will go 153-157, not « oops! » 173! Consistent flight & distance is what I want & what I got with my 101’ s. They are objectively the best irons (dollar for dollar) I have owned in 40yrs of golfing. Cheers!

@6899siew Год назад

For someone with a 15 hc, would you suggest the 101 or 101T?

@peterthanasse1321 Год назад

@@6899siew I am an unofficial 10 handicap and use the 101's. I have never tried the 101T, so I can not speak to whether my shots would improve or not. Considering I am recreational, never for money, never competition golfer, I am happy with the 101's. (Vague, I know, but I hope it helps a bit.) :)

I love the DTC idea for clubs especially if you get your numbers from a fitting. I bought the Haywood “Signature” irons a few months ago, custom lie, custom shaft, etc, and they are AMAZING! Takomo was #2 on my list because they didn’t have as many shaft options. These TM P790-style clubs play well! Keep up the great work, guys! I love these reviews.

@FarmassR6 Год назад

@wallstreetoneil 2 года назад

I've told this to so many people I've met on the range, the single greatest money I've ever spent in Golf are my gapping sessions, with loft and lie adjustments, at TXG - nothing even comes close. All I see when I go to the range and sometimes help golfers are lie angles on their clubs that are almost never appropriate. When I show them my fitted lie-angles, and the flight it produces, and then hit their clubs, and they see the difference, they often can't believe it.

@markreider9663 2 года назад

Very interesting watching the 2nd half of the video and the “real” fitting process. Good to know!!

@AmsterDanTheAmerican 2 года назад

I've watched a bunch of your videos and this is one of the best yet! Loved the explanation and examples you showed. A few questions about the 101T's. 1) Is there a "foam" inside? My understanding is that there isn't anything inside. 2) How is the sound? 3) I thought the Tour and Tour Lite were standard options for shafts Takomo doesn't show C-Taper Lite as an option? What shafts was Mikey swinging...Stiff, C-Taper Lites? 4) Can you do a comparison video between the 101's, 101T, and 201's?

@SecondTimothy224through26 2 года назад

@wistle806 2 года назад

I like this idea. Not everone wants forged clubs. I mean, forged clubs are great but there are people out there who wouldn't want to sacrifice money over feel that much.. And when you go into mid - scratch handicappers' irons, there are almost no options when choosing irons that aren't forged. I believe these clubs are all cast hallow body irons, but I am happy to see the affordable price with the smaller head profile and high loft (you don't see many 32 degree 7 irons that are cast). Great job Takomo and thanks TXG for the in depth review!!

@Simplycomfortfood 2 года назад

Great information. So it sounds to me with the direct to consumer irons can be bought and then visit a fitter to fine tune them. So what is an average cost to custom fit 7 clubs? So we are looking at initial cost of 84.00 per club plus cost per club for fitting are able to keep the per club cost below 90 or 95 US dollars. If so that would be amazing. Now PXG offers more options to customize. You can customize lie angle and loft. Along with playing length at no additional cost and right now the 0211 DC are an unbelievable price of 79.00 US Dollars. I would love to see the Takomo 101 and PXG 0211 DC against one another or the Takomo 201 against the PXG 0211 XCOR2 which are 129.00 US dollars per club. Love the channel.
