What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 201 MKII is 31° and the 201T MKII is 33°, a 2° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the 201 MKII should carry roughly 6 to 8 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 201T MKII. Across the 7 clubs both sets share, the 201T MKII averages 1.4° weaker, with the largest gap at the 6-iron (28° vs 30°). The pitching wedges are 46° and 47°; the stronger one leaves a 4° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the 201 MKII 7-iron sits 0.5° flatter (62° vs 62.5°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.
The 201 MKII is a players distance iron and the 201T MKII a players iron, so they sit one step apart on the forgiveness scale. The 201 MKII is the more forgiving design, with a wider sole, more offset and more perimeter weighting for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The 201T MKII trades some of that for a more compact head, thinner topline and more control over flight and shape, which suits roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
The 201 MKII is listed as cast hollow body with machined variable-thickness face and the 201T MKII as cast hollow body with machined variable-thickness face and tungsten weighting. Both use hollow-body heads, so both trade a little feel for face flex and launch help. The 201T MKII adds tungsten weighting, which lowers the centre of gravity and raises stability on mis-hits, helping the long irons launch.
Both sets were introduced in 2026, so this is a choice between two models from the same lineup rather than an upgrade: Takomo designed them to sit side by side for different players.
Which should you choose?
The 201T MKII is the weaker-lofted set — up to 2° weaker than the 201 MKII. That trades raw distance for a steeper landing angle and more predictable stopping power into greens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Takomo 201 MKII stronger lofted than the 201T MKII?
Yes. The Takomo 201 MKII 7-iron is 31° against 33° for the 201T MKII, 2° stronger, which is worth roughly 6 to 8 yards of extra carry with the same swing.
What is the loft difference between the Takomo 201 MKII and 201T MKII?
At the 7-iron the difference is 2° (31° vs 33°). The largest gap on a shared club is 2° at the 6-iron, and all 7 shared clubs differ.
Which is better for higher handicap golfers, the Takomo 201 MKII or the 201T MKII?
The Takomo 201 MKII. As a players distance iron it is the more forgiving design, suited to roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. The 201T MKII is a players iron, better suited to roughly scratch to 10 handicaps.
Do the Takomo 201 MKII and 201T MKII have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the Takomo 201 MKII is 62° lie and 37 inches, the 201T MKII 62.5° and 37 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
