    I play the Takomo 101s and they are sweet. Distance and dispersion are not a problem with these irons. And the shaft choices are enough. If you want a specific or special shaft you can opt for the heads only choice.

    Thanks again for your videos that included the Takomo line...one correction to what you mentioned here, you CAN get custom built irons from Takomo...I had been fit by PING and used my PING fitting (R flex, 1/2 inch over length, one degree upright) to custom order my Takomo 101s, which arrived today...Takomo has the KBS as its standard shaft but also has another steel option, as well as a Fujikura graphite option, which is what I went with in R flex...it DID take a long to get them delivered and I suspect it was due to the customization...that being said, I'm excited to try them out and they look great, especially given the ridiculously low price of the 101s...Takomo should give you a commission..cheers!

    Thanks to your convincing an impressive video on the Mizuno JPX 921 hot metals earlier this year I have them in my bag and I’m absolutely delighted and won’t budge. If I had to choose between these two I will definitely go PXG if I was starting from scratch. They look delightful and the price is really not that bad. I’m glad you reviewed these because I was just curious after seeing another KZread friend of yours reviewing Takomo irons several times how they would stack up directly against a close competitor. Well done Andy!

Also, I don't think my swing is as upright as it used to be. I'll probably order them by end of January, so they're delivered by end of March.

    For the average golfer having tons of shaft options imo is overkill ,I'm sure the 6 options Tokomo offer there will be one that fits , the most important of the options will be the weight of the shafts and most golfers know if they need a heavier shaft or lighter shaft due to their swing speed . Every year I play between 10 - 20 sets of different irons , flexes and weights ( I have access working in a golf store )and shoot the same scores ( I play to a 6 .4 index ) I'm getting older now , 60 and this year have played senior graphite 60 grams to D.G s300's which are 130 grams , with the heavier options I take out the 4 iron and add a 5 hybrid to maintain launch and distance , if your younger error to the heavier stiffer shafts and if your older error to the lighter softer flexes and remember you can order soft or hard stepped if you don't want to drop a full flex , and yes there will be exceptions but from what I have experienced this is a good guide for most players.

    @@joestuart914 Your average golfer is off something like 16. Regardless of whether they have been fitted or not they aren't consistent enough to have the club on a consistent plane or path. Grooving a better swing will give them far better results than a new set of clubs. Bad workmen blame their tools. If you get fitted first before lessons then your swing and everything is associated with it is going to nullify that fitting as your swing becomes better and therefore will no longer be fitted to you. Just because you are fitted, doesn't mean that is you fitted for good, as golfers get better and worse your fitting will not necessarily be right for you, especially if you aren't very good to begin with. If you're off an average handicap, you're probably better with a half set of clubs and actually learn to hit a ball properly.

    I was basically debating between PXG XCOR2 and continuing use of my Wilson C100s. I went with the PXG irons, as I also took advantage of 0311 Drivers sale, and $50 fitting cost for all. The PXGs are basically a club up from the Wilsons (if I said that right). The XCOR2 4 iron matches the loft of my C100 3 iron. I feel like the PXG loft dispersion will give me wider flexibility among other advantages. I'm really hoping I see improvement / a better fit to my game. I'm also going from a Ping G10 driver to the 0311 XF. I'll let you know how it all goes. I will add that the fitting experience was great.

They are as good as the TM clubs they are styled after & the price is just the icing on the cake. The irony in your review is I have a PXG 0211 driver, so it is a great mix. PS - My 101's are two seasons old now & the finish is still like new so I can attest they are durable too.

    I looked at both clubs and purchased the PXG 0211 DC irons. PXG fitting was free and I could purchase any number of clubs. I chose 6-GW at $100 CDN a club, 2 degrees flat and 1/2" short. The fitter had it narrowed down to 3 different graphite shafts and PXG grip options. Delivered to my door in 15 days from Scottsdale, AZ. Takomo clubs are 4-PW no options unless you buy just the heads and no lie adjustment. The steel and graphite shaft options were limited. The fitting option does not exist except for their online system so you have to know your specs. If you know a good fitter you could buy just the heads and have them built. I would be paying for a 4i & 5i but not using them as I use a 3 & 4 hybrid. I would like to test the Takomo irons as they look very good but no one in my area had them .

    I feel like paying the same price but getting 2 less clubs shouldn't be labeled like a good thing though. You are still put in the same situation as you were in before. Not getting the longer irons is understandable as some don't play those clubs and others use certain irons for those jobs but I don't think that this is something pxg has over Tokomo. Tokomo is a very new company compared to all the rest, they will throw out more options with more customizability sooner or later.

    I've watched quite a few videos on shaft flex. Quite a few blind ones too, including yourself. Most had no idea except for the tour flex stiff shafts. Which naturally are quite heavy and should be able to be felt. But normal through stiff no one had a clue. For mine it's got a lot more to do with the club head weight and what you like to feel through the swing.

    we just ordered my wife a set of PXG XCOR2 irons. She hit them great and said she couldn't tell much of a difference over my Gen5xp clubs. I can't want to try one out... See how they compare to the much more expansive clubs. Shes only 5'3 so she had to have custom fitted clubs for her over the stock wilson set she has... She needed a stiffer shaft as her swing speed keeps going up.

    Interesting video. Those Takomo irons look lovely. Had a look at their website and found the custom fit options to be quite good. Lots of shaft. More than i originally thought after watching this. Certainy for a reasonably newby to the game who wants something new but doesn't want to spend a tonne. 7 irons for less than £400. I looked in my spec of 2 degree upright and half inch longer with the KBS tour 120g shaft. That's mega value. Had a look at the PXG. Did the same spec as the Takomo and £950 for 7 irons. Well thats a massive difference. If they are a direct to consumer model i'd be wanting to try them out for that and i don't think from the video you liked the PXGs much more than the Takomo. I'm wondering If i missed something in your video or wasnt getting it but their websites were very different in price to what you said. £550 difference. Which is significant

    I am more interested in very forgiving irons, but I have thought of buying a Takomo to just test it out since the price is reasonable and they do offer a Fujikura Atmos Red shaft in a senior flex which I have already tried and liked a lot. To be honest though they are almost too plain looking for me. I know a lot of people like that look, but I prefer them with more stylish stampings like those on the Callaway Rogue ST or TaylorMade Stealth irons - both of which I recently purchased to try.

    In the US, PXG is an absolute no-brainer choice (especially if you qualify for 'hero' prices). Currently they will fit you for just $25 (1 full hour session in person) and that investment applies to the price of the clubs if you decide to buy. PXG is full customization including choosing specific irons in the set, loft, lie, grip sizes, and multiple shafts (several at no extra cost). Currently Takoma website is only sold as 4-PW so getting gap & sand wedges are an extra $99 . This narrows the real-world cost difference for most average golfers who are ditching the 4 (and often 5) irons in favor of easier to hit hybrids. I have no connection to PXG except being a firm skeptic who bought a set to replace my Callaways after a fitting and A vs B TrackMan testing (PXG's more forgiving and 1/2 club longer at same loft).

But they are less expensive to begin, so where is the loss??

    @@michaeloja8589 I think what the guys are talking about is immediate resale, ie: within the year or less, you just cant get along with them, then you will find the PXG will hold their value, maybe you lose 20-30%, whereas the Takomo you might lose upwards of 50%, but also the time/annoyance cost - the PXG will pretty much be snapped up if you put it at a half decent price, whereas you might be advertising the Takomo for a long time trying to find a buyer, and you might only attract tire kickers who make stupidly low offers. Ive bought and sold alot of clubs as im a club ho and love trying new things, and i can say Ping are such an easy brand to sell, whereas my cobras/taylormade took a little longer (despite being much newer models) and my current gamers Srixon i feel will be more difficult as well, and will subsequently sell for steeper discount. Its like Scotty Camerons... i dont think they are the best putters on the market by any stretch, but the brand is so strong, even 5+ years old they sell for only a small discount and generally are snapped up no problem. Now try selling a Sik or LAB golf putter - you'll find its a much longer odyssey ;), and you'll likely lose a fair bit on what you originally paid.
