Congratulations and look forward to the reviews.

Congrats to those chosen - will be interesting to see how their reviews in testing compare to the ones posted on YouTube.  Was personally hoping to make the cut to be a tester however again it was not to be.  

[Old Joe]

Congrats to the testers from a 101 user. Love the look and feel but looking forward to the testers results, as mine have been disappointing statistically 

[KC Golf]

Big thank you to Takomo for letting us test these 101Ts.  Can’t wait to get these great looking irons into the bag so we can give MGS Forum some detailed reviews.

Now I guess I have no excuse, but to learn some Finnish golf terms!

Thank you to the Forum Mods for all they do day to day!

Congratulations testers! It appears we have a great group putting these beautiful irons to the test. Takomo seems to be taking some YouTuber's by storm, I've seen them featured a lot on James Robinson Golf and will be interested to see how they perform for you all. 

I want to give a big thank you to Takomo for giving our members this testing opportunity.

I might join that club at some point as this lottery was unsuccesful (kinda expected that though, but didn't hurt to hope ). I'll try to go and test those first (mainly to compare 201 & 301CB) as we have a couple of test sites in Finland (one is Takomo's own "showroom" somewhere in Helsinki area).

I have my intro up if you want to take a look

Thanks, I can't take all the credit. Definitely used some of the other testing treads intro's for ideas.

Takomo 301MB Official Review

 

Introduction:
 

Hello everyone, an introduction and a bit of a golf snapshot, I am 64 years old and have been playing golf since I was 8 and competitively since I was 12, with a slow down from about 1990 to 1998 to raise a family. My first win was a local tournament called "the little masters" that was held at executive par 3's in the lower mainland when I was about 13 and I was hooked on tournament golf. I won club championships in both match and medal play and because I transferred around British Columbia and Alberta with my job I had the opportunity to win in many cities on many different courses. I have won some club tournaments and my last win was the 2019 Rivershore Senior in Kamloops against a strong senior field. My work kept me from playing many provincial and national championships in my early years and although I missed them I don't think I was mature enough at the time to really compete anyway. Something clicked when I turned 55 and knew that amateur senior golf was an opportunity for me, I worked really hard on my game and on my health and in my 1st bc senior amateur championship in 2013 I finished second and made the bc team to go to the amateur senior national championship. My performance wasnt what I wanted at the nationals but again I got a taste of the game at the highest amateur senior level and was hooked again. Since then I have played in 10 provincial championships and 8 national championships made the cut in everyone but 1 national. Interestingly enough that one missed cut at the nationals made me realize I needed some mental help so I hired a sports psycologist when I returned and that was life changing for me and my game, I also have a swing coach locally that I have worked with since 2018. I am playing in 11 tournaments this season. As far as clubs, I don't change clubs very often, since 2003 I have had 2 sets of irons, Mizuno and currently have Miura's and have been pondering a new set for the past year or so, I did buy a new driver 2 years ago and it took me a year and a half to pull the trigger. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate my feelings on the Tacomo 301 muscle back irons from the perspective of a very competitive amateur senior golfer. 

Jim, after reading your intro I am glad this test doesn’t have competitions like the Cobra one
