Takomo 201 MKII Irons Specs & Design

Takomo 201 MKII Irons Review: Are they any good?

For a competent ball‑striker looking for a modern players‑distance iron, the 201 MKII offers an excellent blend of speed, forgiveness and feel.

The hollow‑body chassis and VFT face generate ball speeds on par with bigger brand distance irons, while the softer, more responsive feel moves it closer to a forged‑iron experience than Takomo’s earlier hollow models.

The result is clubs that are now a realistic option for single‑figure and low double‑figure players who want help with distance without giving up a clean, compact look at address.​

Value is where the 201 MKII separates itself, undercutting many big‑brand sets while delivering broadly comparable performance and it is one of the most attractive “players‑distance on a budget” options available.
