Takomo jumps into the low-torque putter scene with the Lumo M1 and B1, pairing stripped-down Nordic looks and proprietary tech at a price that undercuts big brands.
Both Lumo M1 and B1 putters use a single-bend KBS CT Tour shaft, installed to achieve a center-of-gravity balance for enhanced face stability.
Most low- or zero-torque putters lean on center-shafted builds. Takomo's Lumo M1 and B1 break that pattern. Both are heel-shafted, but Farin says the shaft points straight at the center of gravity. That's supposed to lock in face stability without ditching the classic feel. Each head is milled from 303 stainless steel and cut with mid-depth horizontal grooves, echoing the Evnroll playbook. The M1 is a compact mallet. The B1 stretches wider than a standard blade, but neither goes oversized. Both target balance and feedback, not bulk.
The Lumo M1 features a 14 mm onset, while the B1 has an 8 mm onset, and both models are available in 33, 34, and 35-inch lengths with head weights of 362, 357, and 352 grams respectively. Each putter is equipped with a Takomo Edition SuperStroke 2.0 PT grip and offers a choice of Satin Steel or DLC Black finish.
Specs line up for both right- and left-handed players. The Lumo M1 and B1 come in 33-, 34-, and 35-inch lengths. Head weights match up: 365 grams for 33-inch, 360 grams for 34-inch, and 355 grams for 35-inch. Buyers pick between Satin Steel and Black DLC finishes. Each putter ships with a KBS CT Tour single-bend shaft-chrome for Satin Steel, matte black for DLC-and a Finnish Kvadrat Ame textile headcover made from recycled polyester with a magnetic closure.
Price tags read $219 for Satin Steel and $239 for Black DLC. U.S. buyers get Satin Steel in mid-October and Black DLC in early December. European orders ship now. All models are sold direct on the Takomo website. According to a GOLF.com industry report, UK pricing lands at £199 for Satin Steel and £219 for DLC Black.
Takomo's push into low-torque putters leans on Otso's engineering and a direct-to-consumer model. The Lumo M1 and B1 skip deep customization, but for players chasing feel and balance over flash, the specs and price force a second look.
