Many thanks for taking the time to review the 01 and 01T iron sets – delighted to hear the positive feedback. Please note that the upcharge for custom shaft length and lie is not per club, it's for the set.
no lefties… 🙁
I remember the first Caley set. Tried to buy them in the states but they always ran out of stock.
Wait until the Kirkland Signature(aka Costco) irons come out. It could disrupt the DTC market.
Ian would it be possible to let us know what the swingweight is on the caley o1t irons
Great review. Guys would you buy the caley or Pxg gen 5 or gen6 or the 3017 Pxg t
Having watched multiple reviews in the channel, this one was one of the hardest for them – Ian and Mikey really struggled to say something positive about these clubs. Lucky for Caley that the review didn’t come out at start of golf season (this was probably not by chance but by choice)!!
3:15 – Wish I could agree on the KBS Tour 😕 Got them in a new set of Mizuno JPX 923s at 7 iron swing speed of ~100 mph and I absolutely hate them lol. So much weight in the butt of the shaft I can't even feel the club face.
Hopefully going to work my way into some KBS C-Tapers for a stiffer feel later this year.
Think I would buy a used set from major manufacture before buying a DTC irons.
I play the 01T's, having had the chance to review them for MyGolfSpy's forum test this past year. I've managed to not only shoot my best round ever, but back-to-back rounds breaking 80 (which I'd never done before), which was pretty incredible. The turf interaction with these is MILES better than my previous "gamers" (2020 TaylorMade Sim Max), and though considerably more compact, they still offer a pretty incredible amount of forgiveness. I have them in the KBS Tour Lite Stiff shafts (previous shaft being the Nippon 105's in Stiff), and absolutely love the feel. I haven't had much of an issue with the PW, for what it's worth – I typically play that to 135 with no issue, so it's curious Ian didn't get along with it, as he's a considerably better ball-striker than I am (duh).
I'm super curious to see what the 01CB's bring, especially as they're a true forging.
Love the content!
When customizing the clubs the extra dollar amount shown was not per club…extra $25 for different shaft was just that and not $175…same thing Takomo does
Thank you for reviewing these and other DTC irons A They play an important place in the ecosystems. That said, I'm with Ian when he said "my clubs feel $1,000 better." One of the joys/curses of the game is that as you get better you can really notice a difference in quality/feel of equipment. Irons like there help expand the gateway to golf and likely more people on the doorstep of quality fitters in the future.
The groves aint very deep and wont spin the ball out the rough as well along with wearing out quickly in the ones i tried..
what you think guys????
Hogan Clubs are back in November.
They look nice
Takoma , Ram and these all seem to be the same maybe same factory
They should ditch the 4 iron. Most people who buy this don’t want it and won’t use it
How would you stack these up against New Level Irons?
They’re literally the exact same clubs as Takomo’s. Not saying that’s a bad thing. You can set up your own golf brand for $2000-$3000 because of minimum quantity. Xiamen Jasde Sports Equipment is the manufacturer. I’ve played the Takomo 101T’s, I liked them
Tough review for the T's. Very cool you guys are testing DTC irons for folks.
I hate how much they look like the Takomos because it looks like a rip off of them.
