Final Verdict

This is Golfer Geeks’ Takomo 201T MKII irons review.

I’m an avid golfer, 6ish handicap (on my way to a 2), and frequent tester of golf gear since 2015.

Quick Take

Takomo 201T MKIIs are very good player irons at a screaming bargain price.

They’ve got good sound and feel.
Plenty of distance and a splash of forgiveness.
You can launch them any way you please (if you’ve got the game).
They’re gorgeous. Up there with the best in the player category

A very nice set of irons at an even nicer price.

Well done, Takomo.

The Verdict

A very solid set of player irons I could happily put in play tomorrow (Minus 4-iron. I don’t practice enough to hit any company’s 4-iron)

They look player.
They play player.
They feel player.
They cost not player at all.

201T MKIIs are handsome clubs that are well balanced, look great at address, and hit all the shots.

They are perfect for the bargain-minded legit low handicap golfer. You give up nothing but the $1500 price tag.

Takomo 201T MKII Review

Category	Grade
Bag Appeal	4.5
Distance	4.5
Sound & Feel	4
Launch & Flight	5
Forgiveness	5
Value	5+

Bag Appeal: (4.5) Gorgeous clubs. Sleek, minimal design. Compact heads with thin – but, not too thin – topline and sole. A little bit of intimidation going on once you hit 6-iron and lower.

Very “player” look.

Sound & Feel: (4) Solid and a little soft at impact. Not top of the line, but not far off

Forgiveness: (5) Just a splash. You’ve got a little room for minor mishits, but not much. They’re never harsh.

Distance: (4.5) As long as any in this category. Maybe half a club long.

Launch & Flight: (5) You can go high, low, or anything in between. Up to you. Shaping and flighting the ball are all in your hands.

Value: (5) Outstanding. ~$97/club. Excellent performance per dollar.

My Experience with the 201T MKIIs

I hit a bunch of solid shots in my first round, but pulled most of them. It’s a sequence issue I’m working on.

My second round was decidedly better. I got off quite a few good shots and experienced what the 201Ts had to offer.

I’m fairly confident they’re about half a club longer than I’d expect from their lofts – which are standard by and large.

I was able to flight the ball down with relative ease. I only intentionally work the ball from right to left and they handled that fine.

My range sessions went about the same way. The first one was on mats – not my favorite – and didn’t produce anything memorable or give me a true feel for the 201Ts.

The second session was an extended one on grass and I was able to relax into the session and get a good feel through the set

Bottom line: the 201T MKIIs are player clubs that play like player clubs. There’s some help for minor mishits, but that’s it. Minor help.

Who Should Play Takomo 201T MKII Irons?

I like them for accomplished ball strikers. You need to be familiar with the sweet spot and be able to hit it often to get what you need out of the 201Ts.

Low handicaps (Yes): You’re only hesitation might be limited shaft selection from Takomo.
Mid handicaps (No): You’ve got better options like the 201 MKIIs .
High handicaps (No): You’ve got better Takomo options with the 101 MKIIs.

Best Alternatives to Takomo 201T MKII Irons

All these irons cost double or more than the 201Ts. But, you do get more premium performance and feel from them.

Mizuno Pro S1 Irons – Top of the category – top of the line player irons. They have and do everything…for a price.

Ping i240 irons – The best Ping player irons I’ve tested. About a notch below the Mizuno Pro S1s. Nice sound and feel. Easy launch. Ample distance. For a price.

Taylormade P-7CB irons – One of my favorite Taylormades of the last few years. Shame they’re not more popular. They do it all while looking gorgeous. Probably going away soon. Get them while you can.

Final Verdict

Takoma 201T MKIIs are player irons you’d be proud to carry in your bag and show your buddies.

They do all the player iron things you want:

Gorgeous compact heads that look great behind the ball and great in your bag.
You get all the playability for shot making and consistency with a splash of forgiveness for minor mishits.
Premium sound and feel.

Plus, you get all that at an unbeatable price.
