Takomo enters putter market with low-torque Lumo M1 and B1

Takomo has entered the putter market for the first time with the launch of the Lumo M1 and Lumo B1, two low-torque models designed to bring greater stability and reduced face rotation to the putting stroke.

The Finnish brand has taken a slightly different route into the category, using technology and design expertise acquired from fellow Finnish putter specialist Otso Golf to develop a pair of centre-of-gravity-balanced heads.

The Lumo M1 is the larger of the two designs, using a mid-sized mallet profile aimed at golfers who want additional stability and alignment assistance. 

Its larger footprint is intended to help maintain performance on off-centre strikes while making it easier to frame the ball at address.

The Lumo B1 takes the same low-torque concept into a more traditional wider-blade shape. 

Its centre-of-gravity-balanced construction is designed to limit unwanted head rotation during the stroke, while the cleaner profile should appeal to golfers who prefer a less imposing look behind the ball.

Both models are fully milled from 303 stainless steel and feature a mid-depth groove pattern. 

Takomo says the construction is designed to deliver a consistent feel and roll, while golfers can choose between a satin steel finish and a darker DLC black option.

The putters are available in 33-, 34- and 35-inch lengths, with head weights of 362g, 357g and 352g respectively. 

Both models feature 3° of loft and a 70° lie angle, although their onset differs: 14mm on the M1 and 8mm on the B1.

Takomo has fitted both models with a KBS CT Tour single-bend shaft, available in chrome or matte black, alongside a Takomo Edition SuperStroke 2.0 PT grip.

The finishing touches include a Kvadrat Ame textile headcover with a magnetic closure and paracord attachment loop, continuing the understated design approach seen across Takomo's wider equipment range.

The Lumo M1 and B1 are priced at £199 in satin steel and £219 in DLC black, putting them into a competitive part of the premium putter market.

For Takomo, the launch marks a significant expansion beyond its existing equipment categories. 

Rather than simply adding conventional blade and mallet designs, the company has used low-torque technology as the foundation for its first putters, offering golfers a choice between the added stability of the M1 and the more traditional appearance of the B1.

With both models sharing the same underlying design philosophy, the decision ultimately comes down to how much visual footprint a golfer wants behind the ball – and whether the stability benefits of a low-torque design can translate into greater confidence on the greens.
