Takomo 201T MKII irons
Players, 1.0 of 5 for forgiveness
Takomo's compact players' iron with some hidden help, for low handicaps and solid ball strikers (0 to 15): a hollow body with a face that changes thickness and a tungsten bar in the 4- to 7-irons, 2.46 mm of offset and a 33° 7-iron. Less help than Takomo's 101T (2.0 of 5): choose the 101T if you want more help on a mishit.

201T MKII: the questions buyers ask
- Is the Takomo 201T MKII forgiving?
- Hardly: no set here scores lower. It is Takomo's players iron, with 2.5 mm of offset at the 7-iron and a 33° 7-iron. It scores 1.0 of 5 on our reading of what Takomo publishes about it; the most forgiving iron sets we cover score 5.0.
- Who is the 201T MKII for?

- 201T MKII or a more forgiving Takomo head?
- Less help than Takomo's 101T (2.0 of 5): choose the 101T if you want more help on a mishit.

- Yes: Takomo sells it left- and right-handed.

How the 1.0 adds up
The forgiveness score is our reading of what Takomo publishes about the head, from 1 to 5. It is not a test result. How every score works.
| Part | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Head class | 1 | Players: a compact head built for control, the least forgiving class of iron we score. |
| Offset | +0 | 2.5 mm at the 7-iron, below our 4.5 mm mark. |
| Sole | +0 | Takomo describes the sole ("thin and subtly tapered, in Takomo's words") but not as wide. |
| Forgiveness score | 1.0 | of 5 |
The score rates the head only. Hand, flex and price decide which version you buy, not how forgiving it is.
