    Not sure if it's been mentioned here before but has anyone tried the Takomo clubs, seem to be getting great reviews online

    Got a set of the 101's and very happy with them. I'm an improving 16 handicap and was looking for forgiveness, distance and something which looked stylish at a good price point. They ticked all the boxes for me and I'm very happy with them.

    The only complaint I have is it took ages to get them, like 4 months or something that as they seem to be out the door with orders.

    Did you happen to get any wedges? And how would they compare if so? Mine need upgrading and was considering trying them out.

    It's a long time since I upgraded my wedges, I'm pretty sure Vokeys were about half the price they are now, when I did.

    They are beautiful looking clubs.

    Wedges look great value. Good reviews too. Pity that they don't have more loft options , only 52,56,60 at at moment



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,511 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    48 is available as well. The price is great, but the postage does bring them in line with mid-range wedges. It think it was approx €140 to have a 48 delivered to Ireland when I was messing around on the site yesterday.

    Edit: €126 in total. €89 for standard wedge and €37 postage.

    That postage is crazy if only buying a single club , wipes out the initial saving made

    No, I bought 3 x Taylor Made wedges a year ago (50, 54 & 58) and am very happy with them. Also happy that the gap between the 50 and the PW of the 101's is spot on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,317 ✭✭✭big_drive


    Ya when I was looking at their website I noticed the majority of their PW lofts were 46 degree, but they only offered wedges in 48, 52 to blend into set

    Strange not to have a 50 deg available as you'd think 4 degree gaps is a common set make up

    Back to an old topic I started. Still curious if anyone else here has tried out the Takomo irons? Price is great but obviously the downside is not being able to get a look at them first. I don't know anyone using them so have never actually seen them in the flesh. Still getting great reviews online

    met a lad at the range who had a set of 101

    Initially I thought they were blades.

    He is back playing after an accident and was previously off 2 H/C

    I had a few shots and they came off like a rocket.

    Have been tempted myself since.

    Ya the price is very good really for what seems to be an excellent set regardless of which model you go for. Limited shaft options but Kbs have almost got something to fit most golfers. With the way prices are going with the major brands it's definitely worth considering.

    The question is whether to go for a new set from somewhere like Takomo for the €580 or go with a second hand set from the main manufacturers for the same money.

    Rick Shiels does a good review of them here.

    Interesting that a 2h/c would be playing their high handicap/game improvement irons. I looked at the 101T with a wedge which comes out to €589+€89+€55 postage=€733. There are new club alternatives around like TM Sim2, Cobra Aerojet, Callaway Mavrik and Wilson around this price point. These guys are good for reviews.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,352 ✭✭✭conor222


    I'm eyeing up the 101Ts as well, interested if anyone's been playing with them how they found them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,742 ✭✭✭54and56


    I bought the 101's in 2023 as I'm a 15 handicap looking to improve and love them.

    I've an apartment in Spain and actually bought a 2nd set with the 4 wedges (48, 52, 56 & 60) for €900 delivered there and am delighted with them, great to have the same set at home and in Spain.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,317 ✭✭✭big_drive


    Didn't realise that their postage is so high, not great



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,564 ✭✭✭Deep Thought


    he was recovering form an accident and was getting back into it slowly.

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    In the end I chickened out, and got a Cobra set instead from a bricks and mortar shop. At least I got to see the clubs and hit a few balls before I bought them.
