My names Rick and I play ORKA clubs!

[USER1999]

Thats the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.... :thup:

Ask Karen what special needs means to teachers!

Orka are a manufacturer who specialise in custom fitting.
They sell Orka clubs.
A bit like Ping and Mizuno really just on a smaller scale

A couple of things on this post-

1. Rick all the best with the new weapons and a good and informative write up.

2. All the free advertising this club builder has had surely is against the forum rules ? I remember Munro from Edinburgh who mentioned a certain club builder and got slaughtered for it now is this just because certain mods have these clubs or not ,surely it should be an equal playing field or am i wrong.

I am all for fairness, Munro's club builder fits and builds Orka clubs as well and is one of the best from what I hear

Thanks for point 1

For point 2......I would have done a similar write up if it had been Taylor Made, Mizuno, Titleist or whoever else's clubs I was fitted for.....would this have been classed as free advertising?
Surely one of the things we want from a forum is to become informed of products we might be interested in? ..how do we do that without mentioning the product?.....the post a review section would become redundant!!

One of the great things I like about this forum is the interaction we get from the staff, club manufacturers, Golf cart manufacturers, etc etc ......it's what differentiates this site for me compared to other similar (inferior IMO) sites.......do we want to lose that? I think it would be a shame if we lost the ability to interact directly with the OEM's, suppliers and the like......

I f Fundy was using Orkas at Tadmarton the other week,then all i'll say is he hit one of the best tee shots I've ever seen off the first tee. Great ball flight,witha slight draw and great distance.What clubs were you using that day Steve?

 

[Bomber69]

Pmsl, a guy posts about he's c/f, the fitter joins and after 10 posts you guys are up in arms

Google munros fitter and see how much free advertising he had.

And I think your find Mr Mac removed he's link of he's own free will.... After he had recieved a huge amount of forum publicity, we which was a Small price to pay for the help he had given people

Quick, you still got time to edit this, read it back then sort it

 

[Oddsocks]

He is the sales director which surely makes it worse as he has the website advertised in his sig , did Scott ever come on here with his website getting free advertising ,mmmm no he didn't. As has been said Bob had to remove the v easy in his sig so it should be the same rules, unless GM have said okay to it then if so i'll shut up and rest my case.

As stated in another reply Bob removed he's link through choice

 

[stevek1969]

actually Bomber, you and Steve are wrong and I'm not sure why you are trying to stir it....Alex isn't a club builder.....he is one of the directors at ORKA golf, a club manufacturer.

Are you really saying you don't want the owners of major club manufacturers coming on here and answering questions you might have about their products?

Rick not stirring just stating a valid point about a sales director getting free advertising in his sig which is against forum rules.

 

[Oddsocks]

Quick, you still got time to edit this, read it back then sort it

Nope its all fact as far as I'm concerned

Are you asking me that question fella?

I think it's a grey area, you may have a point. The only difference I can see is that Alex was defending his brand against so trolling knob. It was reactive.

What outcome do you and your mate want ?

 

[ACJ29v11]

Sincere apologies for mis-understanding you I now see what you mean, the issue will be that until we are bigger no one will fully appreciate the re-sae value, however if you finally find a set that you simply love then why ever feel the need to change them?

technology hasn't really moved head wise on irons since 06/07 bar aesthetics and weighting there is not a whole lot more brand can do. However mid round sale made me laugh.

once again apologies for the mis-understanding chappy.

enjoy the masters.

Major........

Yep Major club manufacturers don't need to use this site they market their product as they spend loads of money doing it and don't need the free advertising on this site and I am sure GM would not allow them free advertising so why should this small company be allowed free advertising. Bob has helped more members on here for SFA and he can't get to plug is product for free.

What mate is that ? i only stated Munro as a point i've never met the fella.

For once i agree with Bomber on this post :thup:

I think there is a huge difference between a Sole Trader or one-man limited company and a manufacturer.

Well done on ruining what was a good thread topic:thup:

Who do you think pays that massive marketing budget........ Joe public punter.

Sorry bomber but I get the impression your close to SG and using this as nothing more than as reason to moan.

Spot on!

 

[G1BB0]

can we get back on topic, Rick posted about a custom fitting and it ends up as a bit of a nonsense. If anyone has an issue then report the post/s & the Mod team will look into it. I dont know what went on before so won't jump in blind either way.

anything else will just be tidied up/removed from this point on

cheers
