The TGI Take

Takomo’s argument is the price, and it holds up because nothing else about the clubs is a compromise. Launched in 2021 out of Turku, Finland, it designs the heads, partners with established foundries and ships direct — no pro shop margin, no retail middleman, and the saving goes to the tag.

A set of forged S20C cavity backs at $649 is the headline, and the 101 MKII took MyGolfSpy’s Best Game Improvement Iron.

This is for the player who wants forged irons and has been quietly priced out of them. The Skyforger wedge at $99 is the cheapest way to hold the build quality before committing to a set.

The Story

Takomo launched in 2021 out of Turku, Finland with a premise that shouldn't be radical but somehow still is: forged irons, clean design, half the price. No pro shop markup, no retail middlemen, no tour-van mythology. They design the clubs, partner with top-tier foundries, and ship direct. The savings go straight to the price tag — a full set of S20C forged cavity backs for $649, when comparable Japanese-forged sets from Mizuno or Srixon run well north of a thousand.

The lineup spans every skill level. The 101 MKII is a hollow-body game-improvement iron that won MyGolfSpy's Best GI Iron — serious forgiveness at $579 for a seven-piece set. The 201T MKII, new for 2026, is a players precision iron aimed at better ball strikers who want workability without giving up distance. And the 301 CB is the crown jewel: single-billet S20C carbon steel, forged and finished with the kind of feel you associate with boutique Japanese smithing, not a DTC brand that also sells $15 gloves. Wesley Bryan played Takomo irons on the PGA Tour. The Skyforger wedge, at $99, uses the same 8620 steel alloy that Cleveland and Vokey charge nearly double for.

The Scandinavian design DNA shows up everywhere — minimal branding, matte finishes, clean toplines. No loud graphics, no oversized cavities screaming for attention. Takomo makes the case that the traditional equipment pricing model is broken, and then they prove it by shipping clubs that perform alongside irons three times their price. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will.

Past the Irons

Takomo spent its first years as an irons company. The 101, the 201 and the 301 covered game improvement through to blades, all forged, all sold direct out of Turku at prices that undercut the houses making comparable heads. That remains the centre of the business.

The catalog around those irons has filled in since. Wedges arrived in the Skyforger, developed with George and Wesley Bryan, and the SF002 added a full-face version at $99. A hollow-body utility iron followed at $119. The Ignis D1 driver marked what National Club Golfer described as the company’s first major move into metalwoods, and the Ignis D2 fairway wood arrived for 2026 in 3, 5 and 7. With the Stand Bag 02 at $279, a golfer can now assemble most of a bag without leaving the site.

Growth has run through YouTube rather than tour bags. Grant Horvat, who has more than a million and a half subscribers, took an ownership stake and plays the irons and wedges on camera. That reaches a different golfer than a rack in a pro shop reaches, and it explains how a five-year-old company from a city of two hundred thousand people ended up in this many bags.

Which Iron Is Yours

Takomo prints a target handicap range on every iron page, which makes the range unusually easy to read from the outside. The quoted lines below are the brand’s own; the note under each is ours.

Iron 101 MKII$579 · 5-GW
HCP 15–40+
“For beginners, higher-handicap players and golfers seeking extra carry and forgiveness without working too hard.”The widest net Takomo casts. A 431 cast hollow body, and the only set that ships with a gap wedge instead of a 4-iron.
Iron 201 MKII$649 · 4-PW
HCP 5–25
“Improving golfers who have outgrown game-improvement irons. Solid ballstrikers who desire distance and forgiveness over everything else.”The step up from the 101, in a shorter blade with a thinner topline. Still hollow, still forgiving.
Iron 201T MKII$679 · 4-PW
HCP 0–15
“Consistent ballstrikers who want to shotshape but need a bit of forgiveness built into a compact, precise package.”Tungsten in the 4 through 7 irons keeps the long end playable. The widest handicap overlap in the range.
Iron 301 CB$649 · 4-PW
HCP 0–5
“Advanced golfers who value control and added forgiveness.”One-piece forged S20C, and the point where the range stops helping and starts responding.
Iron 301 MB$649 · 4-PW
HCP 0–2 or better
“Superior golfers that need workability over everything and value a soft feel.”Takomo puts a warning on its own product page: “if used by higher handicappers, you’re going to have a bad time.”
Iron 101U$119 · single club
HCP 0–15
“Players looking for an explosive, forgiving alternative off the tee or in the fairway.”A hollow-body utility rather than a driving iron proper, in three lofts, right-handed only.
“We are not looking to sponsor any tour players because I believe we need to be present where our actual audience is and that’s on the Internet.”— Sebastian Haapahovi, Takomo Golf founder

New from the Collection

Takomo Golf
Skyforger 002 Wedges · $99
Full-face grooves run heel to toe, so contact out on the toe still comes off the face with spin. Takomo built the SF002 with George and Wesley Bryan, and it sits alongside the original Skyforger rather than replacing it. Eleven loft and grind combinations, right or left hand, Lamkin Crossline grips as standard.
Shop ↗
Takomo Golf
Ignis D2 Fairway Wood · $269
The second-generation fairway wood, offered in 3, 5 and 7. Adjustable hosel, a matte crown that stays quiet behind the ball, and a neutral flight rather than a draw bias. Wrench and headcover come in the box. Takomo moved into metalwoods in 2025 and the D2 is the follow-up.
Shop ↗
Takomo Golf
Stand Bag 02 · $279
A four-way top with full-length dividers, a quilted front panel and burnt-orange pulls against black or off-white. Built as a walking bag, with the legs set for firm ground rather than a cart strap. Takomo ships it to the US and EU only.

Takomo Golf
Iron 301 MB · $649
A forged muscle back in 4-PW for players who want the feedback a blade gives and nothing softened. Thin topline, minimal offset, KBS Tour shafts across three flexes. It sits at the sharp end of the 301 family, above the cavity-back CB, and stock is running low.
Shop ↗
Takomo Golf
Ignis D1 Driver · $319 · sold out
Takomo’s first driver, a 460cc adjustable head with movable weights, a torque wrench and a vegan-leather cover included. Right-handed only, on Fujikura Ventus shafts in Blue and Red. Every loft and shaft combination is sold out at the time of writing.
Shop ↗
Takomo Golf
Iron 101U Driving Iron · $119
A hollow-body utility iron for the tee shot that has to find short grass. The hollow construction launches it higher than a traditional driving iron, and Takomo sells it as a single club rather than forcing it into a set.
