Thanks for Gary and James for trying out the Caley 01T irons - delighted to hear all your positive feedback. Both of you striking them lovely and what a putt from James at the end. Seen your order come through the other day. Will get them built and dispatched ASAP. Cheers, Ryan.

Because of the price of irons, I have been looking in the second-hand market. But now I am looking at Caley, Takomo and Maltby irons for the price and can get them in my spec. Caley has a good static fitting system making them hard to resist. since these are direct-to-consumer items, a head-to-head with these three brands would be helpful.

@@garymartingolf Definitely suggest checking out the Maltby irons. I've been doing some club building for fun and think that the Maltby TS1 IM and the TS4 iron heads look worlds better than the Takomo 201 irons I've been playing. The TS1 IM irons are performing on par with my Mizuno Pro 223 irons. I've settled on the Mizuno's for my regular set and the TS1 IM as a more forgiving hollow body iron. I really fell out on the Takomo's because the PW and 9 iron top lines looked so chunky . Maltby's look great throughout.

Keep up the good work Gary. Had the Takomo 101Ts for about 9 months and would recommend them. The Caley irons are pretty similar. If you know your specs and you're not scratch or better the direct to consumer market is deffo the way to go.

We looked at Robs Takomo after 18 months and I classed them as wearing normal. I wouldn’t class Caley and Takomo as budget product, the components are great. I dare say these sets cost the same to manufacturer as TM, Callaway etc.

@@davidtruluck3989 I think this is a load of toss from SAS. The only thing different is the head. It's a lump of metal. What's it going to do, melt? I bought a set of the cheapest ($100) box set of clubs about 23 years ago. I sold them on, and know about 5 owners that used them since and still see them doing the rounds with someone else. They are still playable after years of abuse and were never near the quality of the current DTC offerings. I get the SAS gig, buying wisely with second hand used gear. But that can also be full of potential traps, are they original spec for lie, loft, length etc? Tired grips that add to the cost etc
