r/takomo

I’m around a 22~ handicap and I recently ordered myself the 101 mk2s to try to improve my game. Came in less than a week and i immediately tried them and they are one of the best irons i’ve ever hit. On the second day of me using them, i chunked my 5 iron for the first time and the head snapped clean off and flew into the range. Takomo was great and is replacing my 5 iron but now I have to wait 4-5 weeks for a singular iron.

Glad I can be one of the few with positive news to share in this subreddit.

I ordered 101’s with the back ordered midsize grips on Friday and was given an estimated ship date of 2-3 weeks. Checked the order tracker today and was pleasantly surprised that my order will be shipped out by the end of this week.

Just an additional reference for anyone questioning shipping times. To add I’m in the U.S.

As the title says, I have made a warranty claim on a set of faulty 201t’s where I had 2 clubs break in a matter of weeks after arrival, and every ferrule has separated from the club head. The quality control from their new vietnamese factory is rubbish and I have asked to exchange the poorly assembled faulty clubs for a custom set of the original forged 201s. They have told me they will not cover the return costs. I thought thats odd but whatever ill spend the $50 to return them. Sike, they cost $405 to return to Hong Kong from Australia. This is absolute bullshit and is nearly half the cost of the set, and why should I be liable to pay out of pocket to return a faulty item from a manufacturer. I just cant get my head around this and cant afford to pay that out of pocket. I have emailed support and am awaiting a response, but this has been on going for nearly 2 months now and has just left such a horrible taste in my mouth. I really hope they come to their senses and cover the return shipping costs. Has anyone else had an experience like this? Its just been all round horrible.

So a while ago I had to change my shafts , twice in a pretty short period and I got to thinking 🤔 why not have some fun with these things ...and this is the last touch. Value hunter the whole way, takomo 101Ts, kbs tour lite stiffs , temu ferrules , and the final touch bloody red nail varnish. And I like them ...a lot but what do you guys think ?

My wife surprised me for my 30th birthday with the set I had been saying I’ve wanted. Played one round with them so far and they are so pure. (I was playing ping blueprints before this) they feel every bit as pure as any premium iron I’ve ever hit. If you’re debating taking the plunge I think it would be worth it! 🍻

Ordered some 201 MKIIs about a month ago. Got fitted at a local place for the kbs tour lite shafts with +0.5” so I went with those. Finally showed up on Saturday and I’ve been eager to get them out to try them out.
Tonight was the night. Started my range session like I usually do. Start with wedges, move up the bag. They felt great. I’m coming off a starter set with a few different clubs mixed in as I replaced them with used clubs over the last 3 years. Finally spent the money on a nice set of irons.
First swing with the 4 iron. Snap. The guy next to me, the kid picking up range buckets, and me all stared in awe as my 4 iron flew 30 yards down range. Then we all looked at each other like that spider-man meme. “Hope you have warranty” the guy says. I sure hope so I just got them in the mail, I laughed.
Hopefully takomo does me right and doesn’t screw me out of a 4 iron.

I know this sub is full of people who have waited a couple weeks but I’d like to share that I’m 10 weeks in (ordered Feb 26) and my order is not complete. They emailed me back two weeks ago to admit that they completely forgot to even start my order. And this week they have stopped replying altogether.

I ordered a set of custom 101 originals, stiff KBS steel, +1”, +3°. In the same order I had some wedges and the free glove. Those came in two weeks. My buddy got 201’s stock, they came in two weeks.

I was fully down to wait the 8 expected weeks but when they told me they forgot… I am definitely starting to see the “pay big money to YouTube influencers but don’t give much of a crap about supporting actual paying customers” model shining through clearly.

I usually dislike complaining like this but since this sub is full of people considering buying, and a lot of people successfully getting orders after a month or two, wanted my experience shown as well.
(Hoping I’m one of those who wakes up tomorrow to clubs at the door even though I’ve not been given an order update or tracking number ha).

Update May 8, 11am: support emailed me that the clubs are currently shipping to the US warehouse, then will ship to me. I can be patient so long as I know it’s moving forward as planned!

Ordered a custom set of 301cb, mid size grips,c taper light shafts and 2d upright.
Estimated time at purchase was 4-6 weeks, it’s been nearly 8 weeks and on this status for 3 weeks.

Anyone ordered similar and can give any info or estimate timeframe? Have emailed them but no response yet. Want to know if I’m in for another 4 weeks or so wait cause of a back order or the demand has been really high.

Cheers

Got the 301 combo set (which I love) but I noticed after 2 or 3 rounds of play I have this chip in the face of my 6i. I didn’t hit any rocks or hit it off the concrete or anything like that. Is this a manufacturing/quality defect? Think they will replace?

I’ve said this twice in comments but ordered original 201’s and 52 degree, no customization. Reached out to them last week and they just repeated 3-6 business days to dispatch yet here we are.

Was able to update my shaft after a slight mistake in my backorder, ordered on may 2 and was told 2-3 weeks, after the update they said timeframe doesn’t change but was told 4-6 weeks doubling the backorder timeframe, just would like some transparency and honesty here, ordered a set of p790 shadow fall as an alternative or backup, but still very interested in these irons, so wait I shall.
Edit: I just read the “may arrive” really gets my confidence going… lol

Just placed an order at the weekend 😀 how realiable is this timescale does anyone know? Cheers 👍👍
