While the Takomo irons offer incredible value for money, the Titleist T150/T250 combo set ultimately performed better in head-to-head testing, providing superior ball speed and forgiveness, especially in the long irons.
Their scorecard
Forgiveness: 5/5 — Hollow body 4-iron is very easy to launch
Feel: 5/5 — Noticeably softer impact feel
Distance: 5/5 — Higher ball speeds across the set
Turf interaction: 5/5 — Nippy leading edge on wedges
What they rate
Titleist T250 4-iron significantly outperformed the Takomo 4-iron in distance
Takomo's copper finish and 'head only' purchase option provides great customization
Both sets benefited immensely from professional fitting centers (SGT vs TPC Woven)
What they don’t
Takomo shafts (LA Golf) felt too stiff in cold November conditions
The price gap narrows significantly when high-end shafts are added to budget heads
