Takomo built the 101 MKII for mid-to-high handicappers who want real game improvement without paying premium OEM prices. The direct-to-consumer model keeps cost down, and Takomo puts that margin into the club head instead. Chunky and forgiving, it does what it says.
Lofts run strong across the set. The 7-iron is 29 degrees, the 9-iron 38. You'll hit the ball farther than the stamped loft suggests, which matters if you're coming from more traditional lofts. This is a distance-biased set, not a workability set, and it doesn't pretend otherwise.
The MKII updates the original 101 with a refined face, adjusted cavity weighting, and better consistency for 2026. Takomo kept the same core philosophy: a wide-soled, hollow-back iron that high handicappers can actually hit. It's not trying to look like a blade. That clarity of purpose is worth something.
简而言之
The Takomo 101 MKII (2026) is a forgiving game-improvement iron built for consistent distance. The set runs 5-iron to PW with a 29° 7-iron.

About the Takomo 101 MKII
Construction is hollow-body with a large cavity behind the face. Weight sits low and at the perimeter, which raises MOI and cuts the penalty on mishits. The wide sole is there for a reason: it lets the club slide through turf instead of digging, a real help for players who still catch the ball thin or fat more often than they'd like. Face thickness drops in the high-flex zones at impact, so the face deflects and adds ball speed across a wider hitting area. Nothing revolutionary about that approach, but Takomo executes it well for the price. Off-center strikes still go somewhere useful.
杆面倾角分析
The Takomo 101 MKII's 7-iron is lofted at 29° - moderately strong - slightly stronger than traditional lofts. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 154-164 yards. The 5-iron (22°) 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 43° provides a conventional loft window that pairs cleanly with a 50-52° gap wedge.
Who Should Play the Takomo 101 MKII?
- ✓Mid-to-high handicappers who want maximum forgiveness without paying OEM retail prices.
- ✓Players stepping up from starter sets who need a meaningful upgrade and don't want to spend over a thousand dollars.
- ✓Anyone prioritizing distance and high launch over shot-shaping ability.
常见问题
Are the Takomo 101 MKII irons good for beginners?
Yes, though they fit mid-handicappers well too. The wide sole, perimeter weighting, and hollow-body design forgive mishits and make it easy to launch the ball. Total beginners can use them, but the price point makes more sense once you're hitting consistently enough to notice the difference.
How do the 101 MKII lofts compare to other game improvement irons?
They're on the stronger end. The 7-iron is 29 degrees, several degrees stronger than traditional lofts and in line with other modern distance-focused irons. If you're used to a 7-iron at 34 or 35 degrees, expect noticeably more distance. Factor that into your yardage chart before you play.
What shaft options come with the Takomo 101 MKII?
Takomo offers steel and graphite options across a range of flexes. The default build covers most swing speeds, and custom shaft configurations are available through their website. For a direct-to-consumer brand at this price, the fitting options are better than most.
How does the 101 MKII compare to the original Takomo 101?
The MKII carries over the same game improvement formula but refines the face geometry and internal weighting. Ball speed on mishits is more consistent than the original 101. If you already like the 101 and your current set is due for a refresh, the MKII is a reasonable step up.
What handicap range is the 101 MKII best suited for?
Takomo targets roughly 10-30 handicappers with this iron. Mid-handicappers get forgiveness without giving up too much feedback. Higher handicappers benefit from the wide sole and easy launch. Single-digit players will likely want less offset and a smaller head.
