Takomo 101T Vs Titleist T200 Irons Comparison

Takomo 101T Vs Titleist T200 Irons

The Takomo 101T and Titleist T200’s are both hollow-body irons.

But which distance machine is best for you? Find out in the following overview.

Takomo 101T Irons Overview

Takomo 101T Irons

“The Takomo 101T’s are hollow-bodied with a 431 stainless steel construction.”

And while the face has been milled to be thin, it isn’t forged. Still, the Takomo 101T has about as good a feel as you can expect from a hollow body iron.

It also resembles a forged Mizuno iron so it is very pleasing to the eye.

But the main purpose of the Takomo 101T’s is to play long – and play long they do. WIth the 5-iron, I was averaging 144.7 yards of carry.

They don’t feel super smooth and could use some stability around the perimeter.

But if you don’t have trouble making consistent contact, the Takomo 101T’s will likely add a few yards over your current irons.

Titleist T200 Irons Overview

“The T200’s also have a hollow body design but with the added benefit of a forged face and tungsten weighting.”

The tungsten weighting goes a long way towards improving the stability of shots.

Even my toe-side mis-hits were maintaining the same spin rates as pure shots. As a result, these mis-hits were also flying straighter.

The forged face also adds consistency and a smoother feel. But it should be noted that there is a 1.5° decrease in the 7-iron of the T200 set compared to the Takomo 101T’s.

Flight is similar between the sets until you reach the 7-iron – then the T200’s fly significantly lower.

“I liked that the Takomo 101T’s gave me more stopping power around the pin even if they felt a little thinner and harsher. But if you prefer pure distance with a smoother feel, the Titleist T200’s will be right for you.”

Takomo 101T – First Impressions

“I loved the sleek looks and how the Takomo 101T’s occupy a nice middle-ground between players performance and game improvement.”

I’ve talked a lot about forgiveness so far but one of the first things I noticed about these irons was how workable they are.

I was able to affect different shot shapes so long as the lie was favorable. That brings me to another, less fun point.

The turf interaction wasn’t great with these irons. The leading edge is a bit blunted so you really have to keep yourself from digging.

But that’s really the only weakness that stuck out to me during my testing session.

Overall, the Takomo 101T irons look great and they perform consistently.

I could tell right away that these irons would be great for anyone who wants to increase the distance on the fairway or from the tee.

Titleist T200 First Impressions

You can tell just by looking at them that the Titleist T200 irons are player’s irons

The first thing you will notice about these irons is the size of the head. The Titleist T200 feature a player’s profile shape and a very thin topline. However, the Titleist T200’s also have strong lofts which becomes apparent pretty quickly.

You wouldn’t expect the high level of feel that you get from these irons just by looking at them though. The engineered muscle back plates are tuned to enhance feedback and feel while at the same time dampening unwanted vibrations.

The Titleist T200 can surprise in terms of forgiveness and distance too. While certainly not the longest or most forgiving irons in the T series, the L-shaped face insert helps expand the sweet spot out towards the toe.

What advanced players will be able to enjoy almost immediately is the feel from the forged face insert. These irons give an unmistakable forged feel that low handicappers will go crazy for.

The “Max Impact” polymer insert also helps out with ball speed. It acts as a springboard behind the face to push the ball further and faster. The only catch is that you pretty much have to hit the ball dead-center to benefit from the Max Impact insert.

The Titleist T200 feature a unique combination of features that mostly improve feel and accuracy.

Who Are the Takomo 101T Irons for?

“The Takomo 101T irons would be good for 15-22 handicappers who are chiefly concerned with distance.”

That’s because all but the most severe mis-hits go virtually unpunished.

There wasn’t significant drop-off in ball speed between my perfect strikes and those struck closer to the heel.

The hollow-body design and milled face go a long way towards making sure the ball gets launched far.

And yet, there is a good amount of workability in these irons for mid handicappers.

The blade is small enough and square enough behind the ball to allow for accurate shot manipulation.

Plus, the Takomo 101T irons cost less than $600 for the entire set so they would be good for players on a budget as well.
