Direct-to-consumer golf brands are challenging the established order by offering premium-looking equipment at significantly lower prices. But can Takomo’s growing range of irons really compete with the biggest names in golf? Golfshake’s Ryan Rastall put every current model to the test to find out.
Among the latest brands to attract attention is Takomo. Although still relatively new to many golfers, the Finnish company has developed a growing reputation for producing premium-looking irons that promise impressive performance without the premium price tag.
To find out whether that reputation is justified, Golfshake’s Gear Editor Ryan Rastall put the entire Takomo iron family through a comprehensive test. Over more than 45 minutes, Ryan reviews the game-improvement 101, players’ distance 201, compact 201T and muscleback 301 MB, taking each model from the launch monitor onto the golf course to see how they performed in real-world conditions.
The video explores who the 101, 201, 201T and 301 MB are designed for, how they compare in terms of feel, forgiveness, launch and distance, and whether Takomo can genuinely compete with the biggest names in golf. It also tackles one of the biggest misconceptions golfers have when buying irons – why chasing extra yardage isn’t always the smartest approach.
If you’ve been curious about Takomo, are considering direct-to-consumer equipment, or simply want to see how a new challenger stacks up against the established brands, Ryan’s latest review is well worth watching.

What Did You Think?
As the direct-to-consumer market continues to grow, brands like Takomo are giving golfers more choice than ever before. The question is no longer whether these companies can produce quality equipment, but whether they offer enough performance and value to tempt golfers away from the established manufacturers.
After watching Ryan’s comprehensive review, do you think Takomo has what it takes to compete with the biggest names in golf? Have you played Takomo irons yourself, or would you consider buying direct-to-consumer for your next set?
