What's The Difference Between the Takomo 101T and 201 Irons?

The Takomo 101T and 201 Irons are designed for the same group of golfers but that doesn’t mean they are the same.

The Takomo 101T irons are a hollow body cast design that offers more forgiveness and higher ball speeds.

The Takomo 201 irons are a one piece forged design that offers soft feel and more workability like you’d expect from a blade but with the added forgiveness you get from additional perimeter weighting.

I can certainly agree to Tims video. I have owned 101s, 201s, and 101Ts. 201vs101T ; same lofts, same smaller head size. 201s definetly felt softer off the face, but any miss-hit you will feel, and you will know where it hit on the clubface. The 101Ts you can miss-hit pretty badly and still have a decent shot. I switched from the 201s to the 101Ts and very happy I did. I am now a 12.5 HCP and needed a bit more forgiveness and the 101ts have been great. I have over 60 rounds with them and they still look amazing!!! Great video, Takomo irons are great!

I never imagined that I could ever feel as much of a difference as I have with my 101t’s vs. my previous clubs (Titleist) !! I absolutely love these, very workable and unbeatable forgiveness !

[micah]

I love the look of the clubs and everything you guys are doing when I am in need for a new set of irons I am definitely ordering a set

[martinpedersen]

the 101 irons are close too 3 years old now is a replacement in sight because I'm considering a lot buying a set but would be a bit upset if i buy the 101 irons now and a new model comes out 3 months later... but great video as always...

[billmalec]

Thank you. I was between them and even the 301s. Thinking the 201 is for me. 66 years old. Still good swing speed but losing a little distance with the irons lately. Roughly a 4-5 handicap. Like the feel of forged but need a little more distance and still want to be able to work the ball. Have never cared for the feel of cast irons at all.
Currently playing Hogan PTx Pros and Icons and thinking these would be similar with a bit of extra distance.

Just ordered a set of 201's excited to see how different they feel compared to the 101's i had previously

[TeamBalmert]

I honestly find the 301CB’s more forgiving than the 101T’s. More spin, higher launch, more control, more predictable flight. I’m loving them! Zero “flier” issues!

Don’t fear cavity backs! The 301’s are extremely forgiving for cavity back category.

You’re welcome. ❤

Got the 201s together with skyforger wedges 52 and 56. They are just great!

[billyohmer]

I have the 101T's and I'm enjoying them. I'm an 11 hdcp.

[WehleGood]

I bought the 201s and absolutely love them. 201s will definitely show wear quicker tho is the only downfall of the 201s. Bought me some head covers for them 🤙🏼

[bobpegram]

I notice you are hitting the same ball on every shot. That is smart - one less variable. This comparison is extremely helpful. It illustrates that, while 'forgiving' irons may be a slight help, the main difference is still the swing. When I need new irons, looks like I order the 201 heads (and reshaft them myself, with either nunchuk or Paderson shafts). My current irons have Paderson shafts. I could just move them to avoid spending money unnecessarily.

[bobpegram]

The 201s are very similar to my current irons, the Callaway RAZR X forged cavity backs. They are the iron heads used by Jim Furyk to shoot 58 on the PGA Tour. (I didn't know that when I bought them from Callaway pre-owned.) The one difference is, since the Callaways are from 2011, the lofts are a little higher. My guess is the forgiveness is very similar.

[antonjoos]

Are you planning in selling a combo set out of them two? like with the 301s?

[Thrandweel]

The 201s look Very similar to my Wishon 575s I love them but they are starting to rust pretty bad from wear... Will definitely snag the 201s next time I get Irons.

[johnnybailey]

I wanted the 101t but my wife surprised me and got me the 301 combo set. To say I have alot of practice ahead of me 😂 but the irons are amazing looking

[laenreklaw]

waiting for me to push me off the fence and order a set of 101T's. My local golf shot has some used 201's and Im going there tomorrow to hit

[MaartenAnna]

Love it!
Can you do the same test where you spray the ball with water before each shot? Just to see the performance in the wet.
I read somewhere that the sub70 (I think) wedges had an almost 28% drop off in wet conditions, I wonder how that is with these clubs.

[JamesDillamore]

Thanks Tim. Would love to see side by side looking down re offset. Super interested in trying these

[antoniocolonjr.]

Can you possibly do a video on your graphite shaft options? I’m trying to find information on them and there’s not much out there would greatly appreciate that. Thank you. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
