James...something that I've been paying more attention too recently, on scoring irons, is the landing angle. Angle along with spin determines stopping power. Based on some testing I've seen, a distance iron with a bit less spin can still stop quickly when it has a steep landing angle. Personally, I can't imagine what would justify the additional expense of the PXGs...unless money was no object and you just liked the looks better. Great comparison review!
I have a 0311ST 3i I customized into a 2i. On clearance at $99. Wish now I had ordered every club still available at the time. Feels incredible. Never used a forged iron before
If you take advantage of the pxg fitting process you’re definitely going to get your moneys worth. No question about it .if your just out playing golf with your buddies on a few weekends in the summer then yes the tokomos are good value for the money.
@@coleb13 Yes they should be fine. Just that they have smaller heads with little offset and more traditional lofts. If you want the forgiveness of more offset, larger head and a couple of degrees stronger then the 101's are probably the best option.
Hi James, thanks for the review, based on your critique I would take the Takomo clubs purely on price. I know PXG are relatively expensive clubs, but in all the reviews I have seen their performance does not match up to the price. The only downside with Takomo is trying them out first as I believe you can only purchase them online. Anyway, neither set is on my list of potential purchases - thank goodness.
Great video James. I’m intrigued by the takomos and actually thought about getting a set. However the shaft options do not fit my need which is dynamic gold 105. So ended up getting the pxg. And since I play with 1/2 a set (4,7,9,gw) they weren’t that expensive anyway and they had free shipping for a couple of days last week. Shipping costs with pxg is the biggest robbery in the industry but hey it’s part of their business model. I’ll report back once I play with the clubs.
Completely agree with how expensive it is. I came back to golf last year after a 23 year layoff. I'd only ever hit in the high 90s before that. Decided to get a £299 set of RIFE irons . Also decided to get my first ever handicap , put in my first 3 cards and got a 23.6 hcp in October 2022. Don't play often due to other commitments and now after another 6 rounds of golf I'm now off 8.5 ,( for all the doubters/haters I have screenshots to prove ). Would I really have benefited from a £1500 to £2000 fitted set ????? and would I have enjoyed it more ?? , don't think so.
So in 9 rounds 23 years after being a high 20s handicap you’re a single figure. I don’t think any screen shot will be convincing. Gonna need to see some swing videos to even remotely start to believe that lol
@TripsView that's the benefit of me knowing the truth and not needing to prove anything to haters or doubters. Plus those rounds took a year with lessons and practice in between so believe what you like.
In all fairness the new handicap system will show massive changes very quickly, in time it will sort itself out. Awesome to come down so quick, hope you’re still enjoying your golf with less shots, keep it up 👏👏
So true, until at least 20 cards are in it doesn't get to a settled figure.Pity there are some who just need to give negative comments , but I will continue to improve and enjoy my golf . Thanks
Club fitting is all about lie angle, swing weight and then shafts that fit your swing. For example, i play x100 tour light 120g shafts, -2' flat at D4 swing weight. I will be purchasing a set. Ill then have my shaft swopped into these irons. Ill have tekomo build them to -2' flat and ill do the rest getting the Swing weight to D4.
nice irons and great review....i am torn between the 317T's and the 311 p / xp or the TAKOMO 101 / 101T......I am 58....8 handicap...looking for forgiveness , softness and distance too....which would you think ? have a driver swing speed of around 90-94 mph.......thx....cheers from Canada
It really is ridiculous how much clubs cost now a days. It keeps golf from being accessible to the masses. I'm still using g10's but plan on upgrading in the next year. I'll buy something used again
Absolutely love your relevant content!! Im torn between takomo 101T… and holding my breath until November and blindly jumping into costco’s irons. I just have NO CLUE if Costco will produce leftys, and if so… how hard they’ll be to find!
I ordered the takomos instead of waiting to see the Costco irons. I can’t imagine they would be that much better but the Takomos 101t is a very clean looking club. The Kirks won’t look as good.
So, I’m your honest opinion, would you go with the takomo irons, Caley irons, or something similar to those? Thanks. Looking to upgrade from my strata irons to start.
I wanted some 101Ts but it was backfired numerous times, so I just gave up on them. I have the King Tour MIMs now I got for $379. The only thing with those is that instead of a 33 degree 7, I wish that they could be bent to 30. Unfortunately they are cast. But they feel awesome. I can only get 155 out of a 7. Would like to get 8 more yards with that club.
They’re not really cast. Not really forged. Metal injection molding is kind of it’s own thing and you never wanna bend a club 3 degrees anyways. That’s messing with offset and everything. And 155 7 iron isn’t awful but maybe work on swing speed and contact. I have a 33 degree 7 iron i210 and can easily carry it 180
Remember, golf is an industry where we are consistently told to buy the latest and the greatest because the pros are using it. Would love to see a comparison of those old Nike clubs you had with the new ones. Old versus new is always interesting to me. I have a 25-year-old ping my day putter that I'm still using despite having tried all the new ones.
I just traded my Callaway Diablo Edge irons for a set of Taylormade Tour Preferred MC irons and absolutely love them. Price would be around $300 if I bought them in this pristine condition so I think price only matters if you have to have new clubs, and I don't
Hi mate,, the pxg website is amazing,, plus I f you buy last year model,, and know you're spec's,, custom fit is brill,,k 2 degrees flat, 1 inches short,, light shafts,, 2dgree, strong 😊,, well I'm senior,, plus lots of options for better players,,,, I paid £500,,8 to sand plus acap wedge,, also carry 28,,25 and12,, 2,,wood,, so you don't have to pay a fortune to have the best,,, and they look beautiful 😂😮🎉
Would be interesting to see how the Caley 01T perform against the pxg and also the Takomo with them being even cheaper. I am currently thinking of changing my irons, not been playing good all year so can’t justify the big price tag, watching review after review, the Caley is grabbing me along with the Takomo. Currently using a set of ping G425 with graphite which I’ve had pretty much since the launch date, very much fallen out of love with them now
I have the same clubs but with steel shaft. These takomo irons do intrigue me but they’d theoretically be harder to hit than the pings being the 101t is a players distance and the g425s are game improvement
Caley 01 is more aligned to the 101 and not 101t there is video on here. I'm 99% going to pull the trigger on 101t. I'll then get the angles adjusted after warranty as my 5 iron and 6 need to be adjusted only. Unfortunately it's all clubs get adjusted or not at all by takomo
I bought 101t’s. I have lost 10 to 15 yards per club vs my Mixuno zx’s. Are they sending better clubs to the evaluators? I’m baffled. I expected better.
Iv got the 101t well the Chrome has totally come off the bottom and on tour I still play to 0311st and I hit a lot of balls still look the same way when I left the tour trailer 🤔
I think takomos or any off the rack club are good if you're learning or just a very casual golfer. If you want to elevate your game get fit. Nothing will beat an iron that is custom fitted to you.
I’ll do this video one better. Stop buying clubs in stores. Buy clubs from companies selling direct. Not only will they be a lot cheaper, but the clubs will perform just as good, and most of the direct sell companies provide an e-fit guide at no additional cost, along with options for upgraded shafts and grips (for an additional cost but still a lot cheaper than if you bought shafts and grips at a store).
For me, at least you can go to a pxg shop and be fit and test all their products, and walk away with a set that’s perfect for you. To do that with takomo you have to buy just the iron heads, then go to a fittings a buy the shafts, grips, the fitting itself, and the assembly. So it would cost the same…
So why doesn’t Takomo sell an iron test set, you get one 101T, 201, 301CB and 301MB., all with the same shaft choice. Price them at say $250 with a 60 day buy back value of 200 when you order your set? This seems like a simple solution for the direct to consumer vendors. If they would like a player pick which iron to order that would make it even more telling for the player and Takomo. They could even get away with charging extra for the choice option.
You can‘t compare irons with different shafts. The Takomo feels so soft due to the very smooth KBS tour 120 shafts. Heads are at least 40 %. The right shaft is allways more important.
if you know your iron specs, maybe custom order a set of Tacoma heads & specs and you'll save a bunch of money then spend the xtra money on a golf bag, beer, golf balls, gloves, beer, tee's, rangefinder, hotdog & beers at the turn, sunscreen, green fees... just my opinion.
Once you've paid import taxes it's no longer half the cost and being in the UK you're definitely better off with Caley's irons or just going second hand
I play with whatever feels good & makes me feel confident vs look at price & guess that’s why you got your overpriced Porsche 😁 as long as I get value from them overtime then I’m happy as life is short
Simple. Massive companies spend millions on marketing and exposure. Boutique brands don't. They all get their clubs made in the same factories, for the same low price though.
The PXG irons blow away the Takomos. Not really comparable. The PXG fitting is second to none and the irons you get, well, you won’t get a better fit. Takomo makes a decent club but talk to anyone who has been to a PXG fitting and the truth is buying discount irons that are not optimized is the real waste of money. Takomo is an iron blank they have massaged and put their name on, while the 0317T is the result of substantial R&D, probably the most advanced hollow body iron we’ve seen to date.
I can personally attest to this! My PXG fitting was the best experience I’ve ever had when it comes to fittings… Got previously fit for P790’s at Roger Dunn’s… Limited shaft experimenting and basically swung a few irons on a bounce plate… ended up with clubs off the rack… Go to PXG, experimented with 5 different shafts, although the fitter nailed it with the first option, we still tried the other shafts and it was amazing to see how bad I could strike the ball with the wrong shaft for my swing. Ended up with a heavier shaft, a more compact head (0317 T) and -2 degree lie… My ball striking/dispersion is now eons ahead of what I could produce with previous irons and all with way less effort and club manipulation… Completely revolutionized my game… I’ll be playing PXG for as long as I’m able to play the game… Going in for the long game fitting next…
No body needs to play with irons that cost over £1000, look at Matt fitz, uses old irons and plays some of the most incredible golf. Let's be real too everything that is now made is just reproduction of existing and slightly older irons you just can't engineer a stick with shaped piece of metal anymore than they already are.
Update: Takomo is garbage. After 20 months my 101T irons will not create any spin, hit low shots, and will not hold a green. They are made of cheap metal and the grooves collapse. I even used a groove tool to clean and in hopes for deeper groove but no go. Don’t buy clubs from a half ass cheap Finnish company made in a Chinese none quality control factory.
Confusing regardless of expensive vs less cost. The amount of nonsense spoken about golf and golf clubs is just getting out of hand. A good golfer might want the difference and a poor golfer just wants to be consistent at staying in play. The physiological nonsense spoken about clubs which gets in peoples heads is the biggest problem, just spend it on lessons with a proven good PGA pro. Neither of these irons will make you play better, improving your golf with lessons might.
I haven’t James but honestly it’s the biggest con in golf constantly comparing clubs regardless of cost. If your swing isn’t there any new club won’t make you better, regardless. Say hello to Frank, he knows I don’t have bad weekends 😊
I have the Takoma 101t irons and love them. It sounded like he was trying to push the pxg irons. However, the Takoma kept out preforming them.
It's Takomo............it's written on your hosel
@@jlnew10cursive is hard to read… cut him some slack
Great comparison video for sure!
My policy on expensive purchases is if you are gonna it use it more than five years, but something you would still like in five years.
I played ping i15s for years only recently changed last year or so
James...something that I've been paying more attention too recently, on scoring irons, is the landing angle. Angle along with spin determines stopping power. Based on some testing I've seen, a distance iron with a bit less spin can still stop quickly when it has a steep landing angle.

Great vid. I've had Takomo 101Ts for a few months now and still absolutely love them. Keep up the cross budget reviews they're brill.
Are the 101t’s forgiving? Do you think they would be good for a mid to high handicap golfer?
@@coleb13 Yes they should be fine. Just that they have smaller heads with little offset and more traditional lofts. If you want the forgiveness of more offset, larger head and a couple of degrees stronger then the 101's are probably the best option.
@@finnguzz6448ok thanks so much
Takomo just needs a graphite shaft option, especially as KBS do graphite. Their heads on blacked out shafts😍
They have it. "Customize your order" has graphite shafts as one of the options. Costs 100$ extra though.
Edit: Not KBS graphites I think.
@@Garbox80a $100 extra charge is nothing though. That comes out to an extra charge of $16.67/club, fitted to!

I'd love to try a lower priced forged iron....unfortunately, Tacoma doesn't make left handed. I've got a PXG fitting coming up in Nov.
takomo does make left handed clubs i have some
He said Tacoma so whatever brand that is maybe "THEY" don't sell left handed clubs.....lol @@Mikemetalroofing
Two great lo9king iron sets and I could easily game both sets

Considering i can get 2 sets of Takomo's for the price of one set of PXG my choice is obvious.
I'd go with the takomo every time personally.
Mizuno mp59 irons changed how irons are made forever.
If you buy it this year for 1500 can you sell next yr for 1300
Iv got the 101t well the Chrome has totally come off the bottom and on tour I still play to 0311st and I hit a lot of balls still look the same way when I left the tour trailer 🤔
Which shaft did you go with in your personal set ?(301 combo's)
KBS 120 mate
PXG is great if you have the budget, Takamo is great if you don't, could have come up with that myself lol
what shafts?
I just bought a second hand Ping 7 hybrid! Couldn’t afford a newest version.
Clap clap who gives a fuck🤣
@JamesRobinsonGolf. what do I need to do. I’m not a tech person! Just a retired lawman.
Takomo 101t or Taylormade 770. Which to pick. That’s the question
I’ll sell you my P770 4-pw
22 yards of carry difference on the PXG 7 to 5 iron and 29 yards on the Takomo. 29 is too much
Exactly Why I won’t play hollow body irons.
Both of these Clubs are probably made in the same Chinese sweatshop!! probably the same floor.
I think takomos or any off the rack club are good if you're learning or just a very casual golfer. If you want to elevate your game get fit. Nothing will beat an iron that is custom fitted to you.
Looks to me like you might have taken the clubhead speed numbers and accidentally labeled them ball speed. :)
Baby brain lol
@@JamesRobinsonGolf No judgment from me. Given the baby brain, you're striking it great! 😁👏🏻
I will never stop bad mouthing Takomo for giving copper irons to "influencers" but not customers.
I’ll do this video one better. Stop buying clubs in stores. Buy clubs from companies selling direct.

To do that with takomo you have to buy just the iron heads, then go to a fittings a buy the shafts, grips, the fitting itself, and the assembly. So it would cost the same…
... if we calculated this guy's ratio: # of words ÷ value of content = a very large number
So why doesn’t Takomo sell an iron test set, you get one 101T, 201, 301CB and 301MB., all with the same shaft choice. Price them at say $250 with a 60 day buy back value of 200 when you order your set? This seems like a simple solution for the direct to consumer vendors. If they would like a player pick which iron to order that would make it even more telling for the player and Takomo. They could even get away with charging extra for the choice option.
You can return the Takomos within 30 days as long as you just use the 7 iron. The rest of the clubs need to still be wrapped in plastic.

Lol... no last hole landings of the 2 clubs...
The PXG extra cost is completely understandable given their aggressive marketing campaign.
Unfortunately, marketing has never seemed to lower my handicap.
Once you've paid import taxes it's no longer half the cost and being in the UK you're definitely better off with Caley's irons or just going second hand
I believe that’s changed now 👍🏼
Or just get something like Wilson D9 forged for about £500 for 5i-GW (7 irons) absolutely ideal for an average golfer
After watching this there is NO reason to spend 3x the money.
I play with whatever feels good & makes me feel confident vs look at price & guess that’s why you got your overpriced Porsche 😁 as long as I get value from them overtime then I’m happy as life is short
A little bit more expensive? They are 3x the price. 😂 The comparison should be between the PXG 211 vs Takomo 101 or 101T
Ball speed 85,87,89?????
I just don’t understand how these boutique brands can compete with the established golf conglomerates!
Simple. Massive companies spend millions on marketing and exposure. Boutique brands don't. They all get their clubs made in the same factories, for the same low price though.
So mebbes aye or mebbes naw
All that just to set on the fence? Come on, pick one, you know it's the Tacomo all day you just don't wanna tick off PXG.

I completely disagree.
Spend it on lessons
And get fitted properly not DTC guessing your specs uterr madness that save your cash and put it towards fitted irons
I would buy the takomo.
i dont understand why people like the way PXG look. Not a fan
No body needs to play with irons that cost over £1000, look at Matt fitz, uses old irons and plays some of the most incredible golf. Let's be real too everything that is now made is just reproduction of existing and slightly older irons you just can't engineer a stick with shaped piece of metal anymore than they already are.
Update: Takomo is garbage. After 20 months my 101T irons will not create any spin, hit low shots, and will not hold a green. They are made of cheap metal and the grooves collapse. I even used a groove tool to clean and in hopes for deeper groove but no go. Don’t buy clubs from a half ass cheap Finnish company made in a Chinese none quality control factory.
The pxg blow away the takomo. Not even in the same league
Appreciate your opinion. And not everyone would agree. Nor want to spend the money. Hence why I wanted to make this video 👍🏼
No to much money for me 👎🏿
Confusing regardless of expensive vs less cost. The amount of nonsense spoken about golf and golf clubs is just getting out of hand. A good golfer might want the difference and a poor golfer just wants to be consistent at staying in play. The physiological nonsense spoken about clubs which gets in peoples heads is the biggest problem, just spend it on lessons with a proven good PGA pro. Neither of these irons will make you play better, improving your golf with lessons might.
Sorry you’ve had such a bad weekend Peter 👍🏼
I haven’t James but honestly it’s the biggest con in golf constantly comparing clubs regardless of cost. If your swing isn’t there any new club won’t make you better, regardless. Say hello to Frank, he knows I don’t have bad weekends 😊
ROBO I would play either of those beautiful irons! Actually waiting on the Takomo prototype driver which is in transit right now! 🐊🏌⛳️🦅🇺🇸
