Great video. You’ve been playing the 301 combo set for a while now and you know those clubs very well. Try playing the 101T for a couple rounds and see how you do. Great content Tim.
trying to shape alot of shots would only get me in more trouble than usual. Therefore the more forgiving clubs 101T? would be for me. My 718 AP1 set (still very new looking) helps me at my skill level. Great video. you sort of convinced me that game improvement irons are truly good for the mid/high index.
I have the combo set arriving this morning via UPS! I've made my decision, can't wait to take this to the range and run it against the track man to get my distances.
What kind of challenge are you looking for with the 201s? We’ve done a couple more 201 videos recently on the channel but are always looking for more ideas.
Absolutely love my 201's with the Obsidian 95s stiff shaft. Took a couple months to get used to the weight with the much lighter shafts than my Rogues with Proj X 6.0's. I definitely feel like 175 and in, its rare for me to be outside 15ft.
Had the 101Ts for almost 12 months now and still loving them. Agree that they are a little harder to fade/draw but the forgiveness more than makes up for it and they don't ping off the face too much on the short shots which was an original worry.
I went from blades I played all through college (D2) to the 101T. I wanted some forgiveness, distance, and being able to still work the ball. The clubs have been a perfect fit and I do not play nearly as much as I did in school. I am back shooting rounds again that I did in college.
I'm an 8 hc and play the 101Ts. I previously played the Haywood combo set, similar I guess to the Takomo 301s. The added forgiveness in the 101Ts, with the small profile is a great choice for anyone looking to get from the teens to single figure. My one gripe with takomo is the lack of leftie love. Such a shame that any new releases don't come with LH options right away.
It looks like your alignment is always right in all of your shots. Also for into the grain chip shots, I watched a video of Scottie and Tiger and what they do is stand closer to the ball and hold the club more upright which will bring the heel of the club off the ground. So the only the toe will hit the ground and the club won’t grab.
I am trying to decide between 101T, 201, and 301. I grew up playing Wilson staff tour blades in 1978, then Ben Hogans in the early 1990s......then Callaway X 22s from 2009-2024. I bought Tommy Armours at Dick's for $299 because I wanted lighter shafts, and I like the lesser offset on the short irons, but, even though they exceeded my expectations, I am in love with the Callaway Apex ti fusion or considering PXG and Takomo, with reservations about the choice of shafts and weights. I am a decent player.....mostly high 70s......but sometimes low 70s. I've shot 70 twice since 2020, but I don't play much. I hit the ball solid. I can hit most irons.....except Callaway Mavrik!.........and I liked the short hosel Callaway z 22s, but if I don't have to pay $2, 000 for a club I love, I'd like that
I’m a very low single digit and have played the 201s for 2 years. My golfing buddy has the 101Ts so I’ve hit them a bunch. The 201s DEFINITELY feel better but the forgiveness of the 101Ts is just better. I’m waiting for v2 of the 101Ts and will buy them. But I’d say whatever you have more fun hitting use those regardless!!
The 301s look marginally nicer, but they're both spectacular looking sets. For my game I think I'd be further ahead with the 101T. Great video as always Tim, keep it up!
i play T100s right now which feel great but when I hit the toe it’s 20 yards short… i just ordered a set of 101ts like ten minutes ago... letsss goooo thanks Tim
My first impression is that your 301 combo set works great. The Skyforger wedges seem to perform great. You lose the most shots on your putting. Also with the 101Ts you lose out on workability in the top-end of your bag. You could consider 101T for 4-5 irons. Then the 301CBs for the 6-7 irons. And then the 301MBs for the 8-9-PW irons. Or replace the 4-7 irons with the 201s.
When you are swinging well, there may not be a big difference, but which set gives you the most help when the golf gods have it in for you! would be the set I would put in the bag!
Hi Takomo. Watched the Olympic opening ceremonies last night and when Finland floated past I told everyone in the room about your clubs and company. Anyhoo…how about the 101T irons for the red headed step children of the golf world…we lefties. I mean there are bigger issues to get behind in the world but if you start producing 101T for lefties I would be a happier man and I promise to be nicer to everyone I meet. Even people who aren’t very nice. I’m petting my cat as I type this and I’m doing it with more compassion as caring than ever. See, the power of left handed irons compels me to be a better man. Thanks. Just had a thought, how about Teemu Selanne as an ambassador? Thanks mucho. Lefty guy out.
Also I would go with 101T's but with the same focus and concentration you had with the 301's. You focused up thinking you had less forgiveness with 301's.
Tim, you need to come out and play with some of us older golfers to test Tacomo irons across all your offerings. I know you work with other content creators but showing the older crowd and how the irons compare may well help sell more clubs. I play Cobra F9 Speedback irons 4-SW. What Tacomo iron would be the closest match to that and where could I try them? By the way, I am in the Dallas area.
No lack of love! Just wanted to compare these two specifically for this video. Will definitely do a similar video with the 201s involved! Love the 201s! - Tim
@@takomogolfcompany cool! And I just meant in general. I haven’t seen any 201 content in a minute. Love the channel and content Tim, thanks for all the hard work.
I wanted strong lofts and looks, I don't want my 7i to go miles, something like 160yards of carry is more than enough. Quite new to the game atm +20hcp and 301cb/mb set is just perfect for me. 4 iron stays in the garage, 5 doesn't come out of the bag outside of the range but the rest is just super solid, good looks and I really want some punishment from the bad shots! Note those definitely ain't butter knives once you get used to them after using some player distance trampolines! I wanted something like 201's in terms of forgiveness but man the 301CB/MB's are just so much more gorgeous. 4h goes 200yards and 6i 170yards so there is a gap in the game so I have my players distance set 5iron with me(also for the rocky lies and also if my 6iron scares me) until I learn to hit my 301CB 5i reliably and with more distance than my 6/7iron. Looks first!
1.4 hcp here....I just switched from callaway rogue st pros to 301 mb cb combo set in June. I have learned that I play / strike better with 301s because I've put more thought into improving mechanics and impact and making smarter shot selections. overall accuracy has improved and even though misses are shorter, the majority are safer. All in all, I'm learning to rely on myself rather than blame it on bladier clubs. i also love working the ball. With the hollow rogue st pros, I would rely more on the clubs and not myself, lose focus or get really get beat too long. also I found that pairing the wedges with 301s provides more consistent feel across the bag and improves accuracy across my entire game. Especially between yardage feel chips. As a player, I would stick with the 301s all day. FYI Jason day switched to hollow body irons to keep up with the rigorous day in and day out grind and distance requirements... and the elephant in the room, father time causing slower swing speed or endurance issues. But that's how he makes his living. So he has to keep up to do so. Just my 2 cents. I think takomo needs to start making putters next!
Will do this again with the 201s! This one I was just comparing the 301s to a more forgiving set like the 101Ts where the 201s aren’t quite as forgiving as the 101Ts but I will do one of these with the 201s as well! Love that set! - Tim
You should warm up and play a round with the 101ts. It looks like the different weight or whatever of the 101t threw your swing off maybe since you're so used to the 301. I'd say you'd be better off sticking 301, but your long irons had better ball flight with the 101ts.
I think the 101s are the move. I think you gotta base your clubs of your less than ideal shots that’ll happen every round. It’s about tightening up the dispersion
The lofts are different between the sets which makes splitting the sets tricky because there would be larger gaps between the clubs at the split. The 301 sets are both identical lofts which makes the split easier.
Is it me or do the 101T seem way lower ball flight? P.S. I think you are a much better golfer than 5 handicap tee to green. Though you do seem to spray a bit away from the pins a bit. Where you loose strokes is around the greens. When you get down to the low single handicap I'm sure you know "that's where the moneys at!" I'm probably going to go with the 201 or 301cbs But maybe even keep my muscle back 2 or 3 iron for must hit fairways and trouble shots down low. My question is this (from watching your swing, which I think is fundamentally great...) For you, are the 201 and 301cb still easily workable. I found that a straight up cavity is just plain not easily workable and you commented that the 101T did not seem to move the way you were use too???
Having used both of these sets a good amount I can say with certainty that on average the 101T's hit the ball higher than the 301s by a decent amount. They tend to launch higher and go higher over all. This video might not capture that fully but that's what I've seen in studio and on the course. As far as the workability I'd say that both the 201's and the 301 CB's are easier to work than the hollow body irons. I find them both pretty easy to work (sometimes when I don't even want to haha) but of course the pure blades are going to be the easiest to work the ball with. The 101T's are definitely workable but I just have to do a bit more manipulation to make it work compared to how I play the 301's and 201's. This video has some examples of me working the 101T's and the 201's for reference th-cam.com/video/ULhaDNvWX64/w-d-xo.html Oh and I totally agree about the short game being the biggest issue for me at the moment. Definitely will be a part of my game that I focus on over the winter. Would love to turn it into a strength. Thanks for the comment! Tim
@@takomogolfcompany Thanks so much for the reply and info Tim…. I’ll be headed over to the video now. I do have a question that I am not sure where else to ask if you don’t mind. When I was young I was trying to play pro and as such have all the club building equipment you can imagine. I had to stop playing golf for about the last 15 years do to many joint surgeries but want to play again finally. But I still would prefer building myself a custom set. Is there an option to buy just the heads individually? Ie: PW, 7 and 4 iron of all the variations for testing and tuning? P.S. I have really enjoyed your videos!!!
Honestly, brother, 101T4 iron through seven iron, 301 CB eight iron and nine iron, 301 MB pitching wedge into the sky for your wedges. Thankfully, the sets are cheap enough that you would still be playing your best golf for way cheaper than a full set of big brand clubs!
Only issue is the gapping between the sets. 101Ts are stronger lofted so there would be a pretty big gap between the 7 and 8 iron. Would need to bend all the 301s a couple degrees stronger to match up. But not a bad idea! - Tim
Hole 8 off tee, “oh yea” ends up in fairway bunker. You’re a 5 because you can strike it. What irons you play doesn’t matter as much, but I am a believer that most should play GI. What it comes down to for you is course management, knowing your distances and short game. Then you’re easily scratch or better off
A one man scramble would have bin nice. Think you lost in with the putter , irons ware both good. Siems you needed more help with the 101 because you didn't hit them as well as the 301's
They’re definitely a great set and if you’re committed to work on your ball striking they are a set you’ll love. But a set like the 101Ts is also a great option because you can grow with them and even a low handicap golfer can benefit from the extra forgiveness. - Tim
@@takomogolfcompany how would you compare the 101ts to the 201s? What I have found in my research on the web, the 101ts are more popular than the 201s. Do you know why that might be, or am I just wrong about that?
I love the 201s and will definitely add them to this type of test soon! The 101Ts are a more forgiving set which was the goal of this comparison. But definitely will do this again with the 201s! - Tim
I know the game of golf could possibly make The most devout blaspheme the Lord or Possibly drive Gandhi to all out violence, but Golf tubers should be sweeter to themselves. Especially since you got the damn camera freaking hit it again and edit it. I know you can play. You’re not letting anybody down you represent tokomo Very well. You’re extremely relatable and it’s obvious you’ve taken Golf seriousLy And worked hard to achieve your level of play. A lot like the rest of us athletic 25 to 55 year-old capable men out here Keep it up man and remember to genuinely Applied your phenomenal shots and I haven’t seen you hit a terrible shot so enough of that
It’s tricky to do combo sets with the other irons because they aren’t all the same lofts or offset so it would create gaps in the bag and might not blend as seamlessly. The 301 sets have identical lofts which makes it easier to blend.
@@takomogolfcompany torn between the 301cb or the 201s. How much of a difference are those two clubs compared to one another, I see the specs but in terms of feel and hitting. I love the way the 301cbs look compared to the 201s. Planning on ordering a custom set with the kbs c-tapers , just want to be sure which iron would be best before I pull the trigger
excited to see the back 9; however, IMO, you should've played the front 9 with both sets to get equal comparison.
Saving up for my 101T set right now. Should be able to order the heads this fall. Can't wait to build these and get them into my bag!
how about doing this challenge with the 101t v the 201 thinking of getting one of these sets but don't know which would be better ????
Exact same boat! Would really like to see that review!!

Would love to see the 201's in something like this. Next summer I'm pulling the trigger and it's between the 101T and 201's.
i would consider maltby clubs too. ts1 im, ts3, and ts4 are all forgiving, forged clubs at the same price. more options
Played my skyforger wedges today for the first time ever played brilliant with em awaiting my 101ts to see how they go

Such a shame that any new releases don't come with LH options right away.
I've got the 101s and they suit me being a beginner. Great iron play mate you smoke both sets
It looks like your alignment is always right in all of your shots. Also for into the grain chip shots, I watched a video of Scottie and Tiger and what they do is stand closer to the ball and hold the club more upright which will bring the heel of the club off the ground.

Is there an option to buy just the heads individually? Ie: PW, 7 and 4 iron of all the variations for testing and tuning? P.S. I have really enjoyed your videos!!!
Playing the same 9 with both would have been a better measure of club to club, both appear to work very well
I’m thinking about running this back with the 101Ts and the 201s and playing the front 9 twice. - Tim
i wanna try out the 301 mb
Honestly, brother, 101T4 iron through seven iron, 301 CB eight iron and nine iron, 301 MB pitching wedge into the sky for your wedges.
Thankfully, the sets are cheap enough that you would still be playing your best golf for way cheaper than a full set of big brand clubs!
Only issue is the gapping between the sets. 101Ts are stronger lofted so there would be a pretty big gap between the 7 and 8 iron. Would need to bend all the 301s a couple degrees stronger to match up. But not a bad idea! - Tim
What about going to the 201’s? I’m having a delema, do I order the 301cb or the 201’s? I’d love to see a comparison video.
Hole 8 off tee, “oh yea” ends up in fairway bunker. You’re a 5 because you can strike it. What irons you play doesn’t matter as much, but I am a believer that most should play GI. What it comes down to for you is course management, knowing your distances and short game. Then you’re easily scratch or better off
How about the 201's
You should sell 101t 4 and 5 irons as a set, people hitting 201 and 301 would buy them together
I really think the 301 cbs are better for you Tim
Honest opinion: I don’t think cb or hollow body irons make much difference from 7 iron down. I think you made the right choice playing a combo set.
I live in canton that’s like 30 minutes from my house!
A one man scramble would have bin nice.
Think you lost in with the putter , irons ware both good.
Siems you needed more help with the 101 because you didn't hit them as well as the 301's
Ya I definitely didn’t hit the ball as well with the 101Ts so the added forgiveness was huge! - Tim
Why not the 201s?
Will have to include them in the next test!
Ok, HOW do I get the hat? Y'all missing a huge market not putting these in the website.
To be honest, you can't go wrong with any set by Takomo baby!
why doesn't the Bryan Bros promo code work on the website? I'm trying to buy the 101T but can't seem to get the promo code to work?
Would you recommend the 301 mixed set for someone with a 12 handicap that is working to get it below 10?
They’re definitely a great set and if you’re committed to work on your ball striking they are a set you’ll love. But a set like the 101Ts is also a great option because you can grow with them and even a low handicap golfer can benefit from the extra forgiveness. - Tim
@@takomogolfcompany how would you compare the 101ts to the 201s? What I have found in my research on the web, the 101ts are more popular than the 201s. Do you know why that might be, or am I just wrong about that?
How are you not rocking the copper set?!
Only because we sold out of them and I don’t want people getting too excited about clubs they can’t order anymore 😏🤷🏼♂️ - Tim
@@takomogolfcompany how about some copper 101Ts? Can that happen?
Why do the 201s kept getting the snub?!?! I think they are the best middle option for low handicap golfers
Wait for the next episode! 👍😁
@@takomogolfcompany can’t wait!!!!
did I fook up with the 201?
Not at all! I’ll do this again but with the 201s! They are a great set of irons! - Tim
If someone could make a hollow body iron with low offset and a super clean look I would be in. But sadly no one does it.
Mizuno Pro 245.
Would be better to play the same holes normally with driver also. To compare only iron game. Great excuse for a new video :)
Just make your 5 and 4 irons 101Ts
Better putting would seriously drop your handicap a few points
Ah now that’s why I can’t use them. I’m only a 7 handicap & not a 5.
Would like to know why you haven’t considered the 201? I feel there’s not a lot of content with anyone playing the 201’s.
I love the 201s and will definitely add them to this type of test soon! The 101Ts are a more forgiving set which was the goal of this comparison. But definitely will do this again with the 201s! - Tim
@@takomogolfcompany look forward to seeing it. I currently have the 101’s and I’m looking at moving to either the 101T’s or the 201’s.
You already know. You’re a striker, irons won’t play a huge role in your score
Stop kidding yourself. You should be playing the 101’s. Really.
I know the game of golf could possibly make The most devout blaspheme the Lord or Possibly drive Gandhi to all out violence, but Golf tubers should be sweeter to themselves. Especially since you got the damn camera freaking hit it again and edit it. I know you can play. You’re not letting anybody down you represent tokomo Very well. You’re extremely relatable and it’s obvious you’ve taken Golf seriousLy And worked hard to achieve your level of play. A lot like the rest of us athletic 25 to 55 year-old capable men out here
Keep it up man and remember to genuinely Applied your phenomenal shots and I haven’t seen you hit a terrible shot so enough of that
Could we please get some combo sets throughout all the irons instead of just the 301s?
It’s tricky to do combo sets with the other irons because they aren’t all the same lofts or offset so it would create gaps in the bag and might not blend as seamlessly. The 301 sets have identical lofts which makes it easier to blend.
@@takomogolfcompany torn between the 301cb or the 201s. How much of a difference are those two clubs compared to one another, I see the specs but in terms of feel and hitting. I love the way the 301cbs look compared to the 201s. Planning on ordering a custom set with the kbs c-tapers , just want to be sure which iron would be best before I pull the trigger
Where can I get Takomo Appeal?
