Takomo built the Lumo M1 from a single block of milled 303 steel and priced it well below the big brands. It aims easily and rolls true. The heel-shafted look and a short list of fitting options hold it back.
What's new
The Lumo M1 launched in October 2026 alongside the B1 blade. Its body is one piece of milled 303 stainless steel, with an 8 mm back cavity and a heel shaft set at 14 mm of onset to help alignment. Loft sits at 3 degrees and lie at 70.
A KBS CT Tour single bend shaft and a Takomo edition of the SuperStroke 2.0 PT grip come standard. Head weight drops from 362 g at 33 in to 352 g at 35. Satin steel is value-tier money, Black DLC costs a little more, and both include a headcover.
How it plays
Testers agreed it is easy to line up. Its 8.5 for accuracy rates higher than any other part of its game. Takomo balances the head around its center of gravity for low torque, and the straight face sends putts off on a true roll. Forgiveness and stability drew the highest sub-score in one test.
Feel lands at 8.4. Testers describe the one-piece 303 head as solid at impact. Distance control rates 8.2, good without standing out. Value comes in at 8.8 because few milled steel putters cost this little.
Where it lacks
The heel-shafted setup takes some getting used to. With 14 mm of onset the shaft sits ahead of the face, and some players will need a few rounds before they trust what they see. Workability trails everything else at 7.8.
Fitting is thin for now. You choose from three lengths, and Takomo offers no custom lie or loft at launch, so anyone who needs a flatter or more upright head has to look elsewhere. Testers who hit both new Lumo models leaned slightly toward the B1.
“It looks a bit strange at address, but it aims well and the roll is honest.”- The Club Stand gear team
Reasons to buy
- Easy to aim, and the CG-balanced, low torque head rolls the ball true off a straight face
- One-piece 303 stainless body gives a solid, consistent feel at impact
- Sold at a budget price with a headcover, left-hand option and two-year warranty in the box
Reasons to think twice
- Heel shaft with 14 mm of onset looks odd at address until your eye adjusts
- Only 33, 34 and 35 in lengths, with no custom lie or loft at launch
- Black DLC finish costs more than satin, and testers slightly preferred the sister B1 blade
