Are these the BEST BUDGET IRONS? My Honest Review

[@jadenhubis]

I game these currently. These things are absolutely butter when you hit them well. Extremely forgiving but also very workable. Awesome set of clubs.

[@craciunator99]

I LOVE that these smaller companies are challenging the larger ones. When you can find quality clubs for literally 1/3 the price as the big brands thats incredible, even if they aren't as good as the other ones, the price point makes it worth it by far.

[@russelllopez2969]

Always great to watch you take care of us high handicappers. Good option to consider 8:29

[@normansykes8872]

Gabe I totally agree on the outrageous prices people are paying nowadays. Callaway, Taylormade and Ping are well over $1000 for 7 clubs. Titleist has really went up. The T 350’s are around $1500. I paid $799 for my Wilson Dynapower irons and love them. Those Ram irons are very clean looking.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Smart! Great sticks

[@alanrutland4424]

Hi Gabe. What would be interesting, would be for you to play 9 with the Head clubs you used as cheap versus expensive ….. always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@salihalexanderesq.4084]

The real budget is the Ram Accubar set that has Driver, 3w, 4hy (24 degree), 6-PW, mallet putter, bag with dual shoulder straps/stand legs/rain cover for about $239.99; you can also get one with all of that plus a 3 hybrid (19 degree)...plus available in steel and stiff and 1 inch longer.

[@azcharlie2009]

I bought a set of Takomo 101 irons this spring. I'm more than happy with them. Easily as good as the 2010 AP2's I retired. $500!!!

[@The203bigd]

I bought the new fx77 last year and definitely happy! I’m a casual golfer so for me I didn’t need premium set. They’re super forgiving and great performance for the money. Came with Lamkin grips and kbs steel shafts. Was a pretty good upgrade over my first set of burners.

[@sooners2win]

Yes yes yes! You are reviewing the fx77! I think I asked for this some time back! I was going to purchase these but wound up with almost new takomo 101 for 400.00

[@josetakapele]

Glad to see someone finally reviewing these.

[@robertcheng7735]

I'm a mid handicapper (about 15 but I play like 3 times a year, so not very consistent). I bought this set about a month ago to replace some 30 year old hand me downs from my dad. Obviously they're a huge difference, and I'm happy with them, but agree that if you got the money, from what I've seen on reviews, go for the takomo's. I get good forgiveness from these clubs and they feel good on impact, but I think the distances are suspect. For example, the yardage of my new PW was on average around 155 and the 9 iron was 165, 8 iron was 170 and 7 iron 185. Just really odd that theres a 10 yard, 5 yard, then 15 yard difference between each club number. I wish every club had a 10 yard difference in carry between them to make it easy, but now I don't have a 175-180 yard club. Would I recommend this set? sure because of the price and having never hit another DTC set, but if I had tried the takomos, sub 70 or other brand side by side, I'd probably not be as happy with these.

[@kimmorrison9169]

“Ample offset” just killed them for me☹️ Need to see the new Costco iron set. Also I didn’t know Ram was still around.

[@NCtrailX]

Interesting find. Hadn't seen these - certainly look like they are worth a closer look.

[@thomaskirkwood18]

Love your videos Gabe! Always get an honest review. One of the comments mentioned that Tom Watson played Ram clubs. True. Last year one of our older neighbors was moving and asked if I wanted a set of clubs. Sure! They were Tom Watson Ram irons with the Ram bag - all in really decent condition. Probably from the 70s? They do need grips so I will let you know how they perform when they're regripped. Keep those videos coming!

[@LetsPlayThru]

That’s super cool. Were they actually his clubs? Or the same model?

I love all of your videos. Very valuable information trying to navigate what is best for our swings. I have an 11 year old set of Mizunos JPX 900s. I love them and don't have a problem with distance. I play to a 12 and hit my 8 iron 155-160. Just because I would love a new set of irons, I'm loving the Takoma 101s. Do you think I'm going to see a HUGE difference in forgiveness? Part of me thinks just stay with what is working but hey who doesn't love a new shiny car, right?!? Thanks for any advice you can offer me.

[@LetsPlayThru]

The JPX line is pretty forgiving. I don’t know if it would be substantial enough to warrant the switch to be honest.

That’s an interesting take. Does a robot tell you what it’s like on a miss-hit? Or how the club performs when you hit a draw or a fade? When it is thinned or fatted? All clubs work really well when you hit them in the center every time. It’s how they perform with less than perfect contact that actually matters.
