Takomo's been turning heads with their premium-for-less golf gear, and the Skyforger wedges are no exception.
At just $89 a club, they promise buttery feel, spin-heavy shots, and sleek looks—but do they actually perform?
We grabbed the 52°, 56°, and 60° wedges, fired up the Trackman, and got to testing. From spin rates to skulls, here’s our full review—plus a few challenges thrown in for good measure.
Key Takeaways
If you don't have the time to read the full article about our Takomo Skyforger wedge review, here are the main things you should know:
- Spin rates were legit, they do spin more
- Skull shots can travel 190m if you try hard enough (and maybe break physics)
- Consistent feel and solid design make these a sleeper pick
- A steal at $89 - but expect standard shafts only
- Forgiving on mishits - especially noticeable on shorter shots
- Minimalist look adds confidence without distractions

Are the Takomo Wedges Worth the Hype?
First Impressions: Feel, Looks & Loft
Right out of the box, the Skyforger wedges look clean. No unnecessary markings, just a minimalist glossy finish that looks like it came from one of the big brands.
We tested the standard 52°, 56°, and 60° options. There were no custom shafts available, which was a small letdown, but they do come with the solid Lamkin grips.
Feel wise they were surprisingly premium. Shots felt consistent, even on mishits. The 60° especially stood out for how forgiving it was on those short, delicate shots.
Spin Test: Hop & Stop or Hype?
Takomo claims these wedges are built for spin—so we put that to the test head-to-head. Arvo brought out his well-worn Titleist SM7s, while Carl went with his Callaway Jaws for the side-by-side.
Across multiple shots, Arvo saw a noticeable increase in spin with the Takomo wedges, regularly breaking 11,000 RPM. That’s big, especially since Arvo typically struggles to generate high spin.
Carl, on the other hand, found his spin rates nearly identical between the Skyforgers and his Callaway Jaws, which was a bit surprising. Maybe the rust on his Callaways helped him out a bit.
Distance Check: Surprisingly Long for Wedges
Not everyone thinks of distance when it comes to wedges, the main thing is control, but we have to mention how we were flighting these Takomos.
Arvo nearly hit 120m with the 52° at one point, pretty crazy for a club in this category. Carl’s shots sat consistently around the expected ranges, with good carry and rollback action.
Skulled a few for fun too—not going to spoil it yet, but let's just say, we might have broken the Trackman with that one...
Closest to the Pin Challenge
As always, we squared off in a Closest to the Pin challenge. Using the 56° from a short 100-yard setup, both of us managed some solid shots—but we flighted them across the green... So we had to reset!
On the second go-round, Carl dropped one tight with just enough spin to stop it on a dime, but Arvo had too much spin and zipped it straight off the front of the green. Looks like he needs to put in some more time with his HackMotion wrist sensor.
The elevation tricked us a bit, but the trajectory and distance are relatively easy to control overall.
Longest Skull Competition
Yes, we tested skulls. In true Bogey Book fashion, we challenged each other to hit the longest possible wedge skull.
Carl blasted it over 170 yards which already seemed impossible to beat, but then Arvo absolutely nuked the 60° over 200 yards, beating his 6-iron distance.
The Trackman might've been a little confused since we were using the driver setting, but we’ll take the 200-yard 60° as a win.
Biggest Shank Showdown
We wrapped up the testing session with a shank-off. Using extreme inside-out paths and questionable setup tips, the boys tried to hit a shot that goes as far right as possible.
Arvo came away with the win on this one too—landing one in palm trees, around 50 yards off-line. If you want to see him shank a driver, check out our Takomo Ignis D1 Driver, it was the same story there.
Pros & Cons
✅ Pros:
- Extremely affordable ($89)
- Great spin rates
- Forgiving feel on mishits
- Simple, clean design
- Multiple loft options
- Larger face for easier contact
❌ Cons:
- No customizable shaft options
- Not a massive jump in performance for players using high-end wedges
Final Thoughts
The Takomo Skyforger wedges genuinely surprised us. Whether you're upgrading from a basic wedge or looking for a budget-friendly spin machine, these deliver.
The feel, control, and consistency were better than expected. We liked the larger club face and weight distribution, and even though shaft options were limited, the standard setup worked well.
They’re the kind of wedges you can trust from the first swing—easy to hit, easy to control.
