[@stevenzunich]

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!

[@idrivewithmysockson]

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.

[@wesleynuttall5]

Great Video. I'm looking at some Sub70 irons and making a 3hour drive for a fitting, similar price to Takomo with the added extra of a fitting.

[@tjvbham5831]

Thank you for this comparison video. Helped me choose my new irons -PXG 0311p. Love your channel.

[@roadrider7john245]

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).

[@wessims3412]

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 KZbin friend of yours reviewing Takomo irons several times how they would stack up directly against a close competitor. Well done Andy!

[@kev12558]

Same here. Gaming JPX 921 HM irons, but wouldn’t mind trying those PXG 0211’s

[@normlang1994]

I'll definitely be putting the Takomo 101's in my bag before end of the year. The Takomos are highly customizable. A dozen shaft options, here in the US, plus you can select lie, length and grip size. Plus I love the clean look of them.

[@stumarston6812]

NORM!!!!

[@ExceptionalPleb]

Have you bought them yet? Any feedback?

[@normlang1994]

@@ExceptionalPleb No. I'm booking a fitting with a local pro to get my specs so I can customize them properly. I haven't been fitted for clubs in about 10 years, and I know I've lost some speed, so I'll need different shafts (even considering graphite). 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.

Nice comparison! Thanks! Takomo has currently 3 but soon 5 iron sets - the 101, 201, 101T, 301, and 301 CB. They also have a bag available, and the Skyforger forged wedges, with 4 lofts available. Apparently, they have a driver coming out soon.

I got the 101s for 469€. That is unbeatable. I luv these irons. Constistency has gone up quite a bit and the looks is filling me with awe. Best clubs I ever had.

[@WilliamWright-hf8ob]

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.

[@sandersson2813]

Agree. Average golfers should be spending more money on lessons and more tine practicing than on gear. Consistency is what it's all about and until you're consistent, your clubs will have minimal input.

[@sandersson2813]

@@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.

[@FreshManny209]

I might be trippin but Takomo offers a pretty large number of shaft options, as well as shaft length. Gotta click on "customize your order" under the add to cart button.

Got the 101s. Very happy with my choice. I did look at PXG but didn't see the point in paying more. Went with the 105 tour shafts which seem to work out fine. Is this the standard 101 model you have here or the 101T? Mine were £525 all in when I got them in April.

[@christoph44396]

Just got fitted and picked up the PXG 0211 Irons, and I love them. Getting fitted regarding shaft length and the right graphite shaft for me made a huge difference.

[@alexchoi2060]

I got the heads from the Takomo 101s-- swapped them out for some other DTC irons with TT Elevate 95 shafts. I plan to use as a travel set. They seem perfectly fine. I don't know if the UK get the um, interesting TXG commercials, which were a turnoff to me (along with the extreme loft jacking and extra length of shaft to justify its distance)

[@Trump2024Kentucky]

I am currently happy with my PXG O311 gen3 forged irons.

I bought my Takomo 101’s with customization (+1” and 2 degree upright lie) for $510. Delivered to me in California was $560 total.

[@Dr_Ewww703]

I was gonna say, this must be an outdated review because Takomo def does some customization, shaft and lie.

[@joehamacher2587]

I play the pxg xcore2 irons and they are awesome , I have also the gen4 0311xp irons and I actually prefer the xcore2 irons , it's hard to tell that there not forged and they are very hot off the face. I love the new head size which appears smaller than the xp irons or last year's 0211 irons.

[@Dovey14]

My friend told me the same thing, He told me not to buy the Gen4, either go to the Gen5 or the 0211's. Why?

[@TheSimonsydney]

Just got a set of 101s, really like them so far. Takomo currently has 14 shaft options fir 101 and custom fittings for lenght, lie and grips, so I dont se much the average golfer cannot get with that. Also they have wedges and are bringing out wood soon, so if its a preference you can soon build a full bag.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Yes agreed as long as they know there requirements

[@DoBraveryFPS]

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.

[@petercorrin2414]

I am currently playing Wilson Ci11's and thinking of the PXG XCor2's as well. I have loved my Ci11's the past 8 years and scared to switch. LOL. I am glad they come in black since my Wilsons are as well and love the look.

[@briantreadwell2206]

Good v-log, I think ultimately it’s about what you want, balance the pro’s and con’s and make your decision. Not in the market for irons this year

[@midlifebiker7424]

For the price conscious you should look at previous models or pre-loved. I picked up brand new Z785s (4-PW) 2 years ago, $600 (AUD) about £350 and havent found anything better since... Ive had Ping i200 2nds and Apex CF19 2nds and sold both for what I bought for, Im not greedy 😉 The retailers mark up is huge..

[@grahambaker4464]

I started playing about a year ago using my late father in laws unused Petron clubs but have since bought some used mizuno mx-25 irons (which I love) and a used ping g30 driver that I have finally got consistent with. So here's my questions. . I have gaps (I'm not happy with) in my bag between 190yrds to pin and 80 to pin. Hoping from some less than average golfer recommendations

[@rickcudmore8156]

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 .

[@5ebra1]

This was the comparison many wanted. Thanks AVG. Great video.

[@scotts7572]

[@mikepugh2806]

I have been considering the PXG 0211, Takomo 101 and Sub 70 699's. If I had to pull the trigger today, I'd buy the 2021 Dualcor PXG's. They are still selling for $79/club in the US till the end of August. I think I can work with the stock shafts, but will get custom fit at one of the clubs here in town (if I go for it).

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Good luck bud

[@randyhitchens5918]

After watching your review I ordered the pxg but only ordered a 6 iron. They offer a military discount which I appreciate plus this month free shipping so only cost $109. I'll let you know what I think.

[@petermelotte1596]

I purchased the 0211, the newest look. For me as I get closer to 60 the stronger loft of the PXG irons allows me to get more out of my irons throughout the bag. I am back to hitting a 9 iron 145 I was using a 7 iron for the same distance with my old Steelheads. They have put enough weight at the bottom to add height to your shot. Feel like I am back in control of my mid iron distances. I have not played the Tokomo, but I can tell you I would purchase these PXG irons again.

If you were to compare the 0211 DC to the Takomo 101s (about the same price point) which would you prefer?

I own the 101's since release. I got them with my prefered shaft and they are, without question, the most consistent irons I have owned. 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 have been seeing Takomo videos and ad pop up all over my social media pages. I have a PXG Gen5 driver and was interested in the two options. The price of the Takomo is what has peaked my interest in them. But the custom fitting of the PXGs make those tempting as well.

How about the "just buy the heads" option for Takomo? It seems like that would provide a custom fit option.

If you need the lie adjusted up or down, Takomo does not offer this option if you buy just the heads.

PXG, at least here in the US, now offers a 60 day money back guarantee. That's a pretty solid selling point. I'm really liking what PXG are producing and really leaning towards getting the new PXG 0211 XCOR irons.

[@quackyduck1499]

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.

[@dbquek]

One other point to mention, you can just buy 6-PW for the PXG while Takomo doesn't give you that option. Per club PXG is more expensive but if you don't need the 4 & 5 irons, they work out to be more or less the same price.

[@mrmeman98]

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 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.

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 noticed the price difference too. The original PXG Dualcor came out to $553, the new xCor2 set came out to $903. I believe there's also a $39 per club upcharge if you want the KBS shafts, which totals $1176. That's quite a bit higher than the Takomo set.

[@jamesbrown8513]

@@joegvoll1945 yeah i noticed the same. Big price difference between the 2 sets. More than double. Think what you could get with the saving get going for the 101s. James Robinson hopefully is going to do a comparison between the Mizuno 225s and the 101Ts. Now that will be an interesting comparison.

[@joegvoll1945]

@@jamesbrown8513 thanks for the info on JR's comparison. I still use a combo set of Mizuno MPH5/MP25's so I keep my eye open for Mizuno reviews.

Gotta say love pxg plus they're now offering the new gen5 driver for £250,got last years 0211 driver love that too 😀 👍

[@mikebostic5713]

I use A PXG hybrid, 0211ST blades, and one of their wedges. Best clubs I’ve ever played.

[@paulmcgee1867]

These two do seem very similar with PxG being less elegant. You could also go for the Inesis 500.

[@pinoycalifornia244]

Im debating pxg 0212 and takomo 101. Takomo is alot cheaper and pxg u can get fitted. 250$ different here in the us. I thinking of takomo now

[@cikarang5]

Andy not sure if the shot tracers are really accurate but watching this video the Takomo irons give you a much more controlled flight imho 👍

[@donbell8488]

what shaft did you have in the 101s ?

[@brianwaldo2642]

I currently have the 0211DC’s in the bag, 6 - GW and am happy with the performance. I was looking at the Takomo’s but decided against them for another reason. I believe that with the well known PXG brand, if I chose to resell the 0211’s, due to displeasure, I could recoup most of my investment. Here in Canada, little is known about the Takomo’s and I’d probably experience a considerable loss if I was to sell them.

[@strikesbac]

Same for me! That’s the reason i came close to buying a set of Sub 70s but resale was poor.

[@paulkempster3619]

Not much difference between the clubs seeing that the 0211 are a great price off the self

[@baemp1re]

Same for me. I looked at the Takomo's, and they seem like fantastic sticks, but resale value is a big factor.

[@michaeloja8589]

I don't get it. Allegedly, the resale value -- IF you decide to resell the Takomo irons, which may be a doubtful proposition --- is less, so don't buy them. But they are less expensive to begin, so where is the loss?? I cannot see that that situation -- i.e., less expensive at first and lower subsequent resale value -- is any different than it would be for any product. In short, you saved your money up front.

[@tezzlacoilz]

@@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.

[@richardjacobs7632]

I did buy the PXG XCOR2 on sale direct for $75 a club. I don’t see how a club can feel any better. I have the forged Ben Hogan ApexEdge set as well! Takomo is A very good and affordable option. Thanks Andy

I'm playing mostly PXG generation 4 clubs, plus the mizuno fli-hi long irons. Looks like I'm done for several years.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Nice set up Jay

[@theopotgieter7963]

Considering the 0211 DC / XCor2, hit the DC's well in testing so far, but wondering if the 0311 Gen3 in P or XP is not a better iron overall?

[@John-es7zn]

I've got the XP,got them 2 weeks ago and hitting greens on par 3 with 7 iron that in the years playing that course have never hit. I'm loving my gen 3 xp

[@davedelacy]

i have PXG irons, not the model your reviewing, but I really like there clubs, and Brian is right the trade in price is not going to be great with Takomo. You hit it on the head, you were custom fitted for the PXG's and i think we need to have "Iron Byron" hitting the clubs to get an idea of the differences between the two. If your beginner I would go with the Takomo due to the price and playability, for my money it's PXG

So what kind of shafts are on the clubs used in this video???? Yes, im looking for new clubs to replace mizuno mx-200 y-tune that I've used for years. I am also cost conscious.

[@lettinggo2]

Do a comparison between the sim2 max and pxg 0221 xcore

[@pauljohnmarcelino2121]

Compared to Ram FX77?

[@paulkempster3619]

I forgot to mention you can buy the heads only from takomo and fit what ever shaft you like for even cheaper price

[@sshadow2]

I'm personally in favor of the fact that Takomo sells heads only as an option. Regarding customization, if you look at it from that perspective, MY custom options is better than PXG's and still a lot cheaper.

[@CallMeSlavik]

Are the 6 options online the only options that actually fit the takomos? Or will any shaft work if you just get the heads and get fitted for other shafts not available online?

[@sshadow2]

@@CallMeSlavik Just match the bore size (or smaller) of the head to the shaft you want. (e.g. .370). You will have to contact Takomo to find out what it is.

[@Gatorgolfusa]

My buddy came up from North Carolina last weekend and had a full set of the XCORE they were absolutely stunning for looks in his bag! 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇲👍

[@wistle806]

Has anybody bought Takomo in Canada? Were there any duty price added when you picked it up?? Thank you!

[@mjheggie2]

Both of these are absolutely on my shopping list as well as the Sub70’s or possibly a previous generation of PXG’s premium clubs like the gen 4’s but are basically out of stock.. 🤔🤔🤔

[@GolfBert]

Hi you didnt mention anything about the offsets of these 2 sets of irons. 0211 have little offset, what about the 101's?

[@midlifebiker7424]

Look on their web site as spec's are there. They have a 101T also..

[@keithgarton9133]

Be interested to know Andy which shaft you had in the Takomo

KBS tour stiff 120 👍

[@iantaylor917]

It really seems that PXG undercuts the bulk of the competition in the custom fit game improvement category with their 0211 offerings from a price to performance standpoint. Will definitely be giving these a close look at my upcoming fitting. Love the content by the way!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thanks Ian

[@ExceptionalPleb]

Did you buy the PXG's?? How'd the fitting go?

[@iantaylor917]

@@ExceptionalPleb I did! I got the Gen5 irons and a 56 degree sugar daddy 2 wedge. The fitting, which was Mobile at a local nice course, was first class. Not pushy at all. And my guy was very knowledgeable. Very happy with the clubs; they FEEL amazing. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the drivers I hit (gen4) but the irons are awesome.

Bought the 101,s and got them fitted

[@celtickev1]

I purchased the takomo 101 irons a year ago with kbs regular shafts clubs are good value 4/pw plus 48degree wedge £420 forgiving but offer in shafts weren't as good as now and probably if fitted would have had a different shaft p.s the pw and wedge stop really well
