While the Takomo Ignis fairway woods look great and hit incredibly straight shots, they suffer from a major lack of ball speed and distance. Given that discounted previous-gen OEM woods like the TaylorMade Qi10 offer 20 yards more carry for less money, the Ignis represents Takomo's first true performance misstep.
Their scorecard
Forgiveness: 5/5 — Unbelievably tight dispersion
Distance: 2/5 — 15-20 yards short of Qi10
Sound & feel: 4/5 — Reminiscent of a Ping wood
Looks at address: 4/5 — Clean carbon crown, shallow face
What they rate
Extremely tight shot dispersion and exceptional directional control
Shallow face design makes it effortless to launch off fairway turf
Clean matte carbon crown with premium Ventus shaft stock option
What they don’t
Deficit of 15-20 yards carry distance compared to major brands
Lower ball speeds (~6-7 mph slower than TaylorMade Qi10)
High spin rates prevent penetrating flight and roll out
