The Takomo Iron 301 CB is a players cavity iron released in 2023, designed for low to mid handicappers (typically 0–12 HCP) who want a players' look at address with a touch more forgiveness than a full blade. The cavity provides perimeter weighting that supports slightly off-centre strikes. The 2023 model's 7-iron is lofted at 32°, sitting in the moderate range that balances distance and gapping.

Technology
About the Takomo Iron 301 CB
The Takomo Iron 301 CB features a classic cavity back construction that redistributes weight to the perimeter for improved MOI while maintaining the look and feel preferred by lower-handicap golfers. At impact it delivers a blend of feedback and forgiveness, with a slightly softer sensation than a blade on well-struck shots.
Loft Analysis
The Takomo Iron 301 CB's 7-iron is lofted at 32° — 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 143–153 yards. The 5-iron (25°) 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 45° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50–52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the Takomo Iron 301 CB?
- ✓Low to mid handicappers (0–12 HCP) looking for a refined address profile
- ✓Players who want some perimeter weighting without a game-improvement look
- ✓Improving golfers moving down from a game-improvement set
- ✓Golfers carrying a 7-iron in the 145–165 yard window
