The Takomo Iron 101 is a game improvement iron released in 2021, designed for mid to high handicappers (typically 12–24 HCP) who benefit from a larger clubhead, wide sole, and high MOI design that reduces the penalty on mis-hits and promotes a higher, easier launch. The 2021 model's 7-iron is lofted at 31°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

About the Takomo Iron 101
The Takomo Iron 101 features a wide sole, deep undercut cavity, and high-MOI design that keeps ball speed consistent across the face. The low, deep CG promotes a high launch angle that helps the ball stop on greens. At impact it delivers solid and consistent — designed to feel similar whether you catch it slightly thin or slightly fat.
Loft Analysis
The Takomo Iron 101's 7-iron is lofted at 31° — near-traditional — close to the classic 32–34° benchmark. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 147–157 yards. The 5-iron (24°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 44° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50–52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the Takomo Iron 101?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers (12–24 HCP) focused on consistency and forgiveness
- ✓Golfers who benefit from a higher launch and softer landing on approach shots
- ✓Players who tend to miss thin and need help getting the ball airborne
