As Takomo begins to transition from only an irons company to one you could build an entire bag with, they’re making it easier to find a driver.
The Finnish direct-to-consumer brand is introducing its second driver, the Ignis D2, which gives players a higher launch and more forgiving option off the tee compared to the previous D1.
At just $329, just over half the price of some major OEMs, Takomo’s driver occupies a price point rarely seen anymore in the current marketplace.
Keep reading below for more on the Takomo Ignis D2 driver.
With the D2, Takomo aimed for simplicity by offering a 460 cc driver with just one adjustable weight in the rear. The default configuration includes a rear 2-gram weight, but there is also an 8-gram option to increase swing weight depending on the build.
Takomo head of product Teemu Laine wrote in a technical briefing that the removal of the toe and heel weights from the D1 allowed Takomo to push mass further toward the perimeter of the head, increasing MOI and pushing the CG deeper for higher launch. The optional 8-g back weight pushes the CG even deeper to increase launch further.
While the driver has only one weight port, there still are adjustability options. The D2 was designed to offer neutral face angle with no induced draw bias through head weighting. However, an eight-position hosel sleeve allows for face angle, loft and lie angle customization. The standard lie angle, Laine said, was more upright than other drivers, which gives the driver a touch of draw bias.
The lie angle can be made 1˚ more upright through a hosel adjustment.
The D2 also switches materials to HST160C titanium alloy, a commonly used material for metalwoods.
“The material change enables thinner body walls and a thinner face while retaining the structural strength and flex characteristics required by the design,” Laine wrote. “The alloy’s ability to deform elastically and return to its original shape supports a spring-like response.”
Instead of combining separate face and body pieces, the D2 actually is cast together as one piece, meaning there is no face insert or weld point.
The face itself also has a variable thickness profile with more material at the center of the face, a thinner area around the face and then four additional thinner areas at the corners of the face. This was done to ensure ball speed on off-center strikes.
Takomo’s new Ignis D2 driver will be available to order on Takomo’s website starting Sept. 15.
The driver costs $329 and already is listed on the USGA Conforming List.
The driver is available in either 9.0˚ or 10.5˚ lofts and the stock shaft offering is either the Fujikura Ventus Red (5-R or 5-S) or Ventus Blue (5-R, 5-S, 6-R, 6-S and 6-X).
