Several guys recently have had Orka fittings recently, GB72, Fundy, Full Throttle is having one tomorrow, so I thought I would go see what they could do for me as I have been struggling a bit recently with the irons.
See Fundys more in depth thread on his fitting http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk/showthread.php?50099-New-irons-fitting
First thing Alex (Mr Orka) did was to check out the loft and lie of my I20's Black spots and found that they were actually 1 degree flat and the lofts were 2 degrees stronger than Orka's irons,
Started warming up with my 8 iron, then moved over to the 6 iron to start measurements, Swing speed was low at mid 60's and i was averaging 147 yards with the I20s, We tried several different shaft combinations and this I think is Orka's strength, concentrating on the right shaft for you.
Eventually it was clear that 1 combo was head and shoulders above everything and that turned out to be an Orka GS5 CTI head, with a 80R UST Flatline Graphite Shaft @1 degree up (2 degrees different from the I20's.) with a V60 standard Grip
With this club I was averaging 157 yards, In fact I was carrying it further than the whole I20 shot and the swing speed had risen to mid 70's, and the ballflight was lovely (dont forget the I20's were 2 degrees stronger as well)
Alex also gave me some pointers about my swing which will pull everything straighter
So the new shineys have been ordered, and once I have had them a couple of weeks, and worked out the distances for each club, I will go back and get the Driver, Woods, Hybrids and wedges looked at.
Should have them in about a week, so its all good
A very good experience
