My names Rick and I play ORKA clubs!

[AmandaJR]

I like this Alex chap whether he's the real Alex or someone in disguise! Seriously though he stands by his product 100% and is obviously passionate about it - nowt wrong with that.

Edit - plus why the need to belittle someone's new shineys...enjoy I say and hope they bring you great golf.

 

[One Planer]

Wouldn't want to.....I have better clubs anyway.

In your opinion :thup:

In my opinion, my clubs are better than yours.

It's called brand loyalty. Neither of us is right, it's just opinion.

Plus 1 on this

5 years brother?????? Those days are long gone my friend.
ORKA - good bats but not a popular brand. Comparing them to Tits or Mizzies is like comparing a VW to a Skoda.

Arent Skoda made by VW? just a good a quality and reliability but at a more competitive price

 

[User20205]

Specialist bespoke brand.....like Vega, Miura etc......keep taking them drugs fella :thup:

Complete wind up from the save the whales group.

you love to defend all things Japanese.

If Orkas were called



and were £2k you'd buy them like a shot!!!

You and Bomber are a little myopic

question for Alex....can you PM me the best place in Dorset to get fitted? I've looked on the website and have a choice of 2 (I think one of them is no longer there)

My taylormades are better.... LOL!

Definitely some brand snobbery coming to the fore in this thread.

it's because (in the true spirit of Smiffy) they are proper knobs

Sorry for the delayed reply, work to be done.

Thanks for asking chappy and I will try my best to answer it for you. Okay it's also known as Triple net forging which is the process callaway use I believe. We use rolled s25c carbon steel which is then heated to silly degrees something like 1100-1300 degrees approximately which keeps the steel chemical integrity at which point it is then reapeatadly hit to soften them hence the reason forged feel uber soft. The hosels are the last thing to be attached to the head then off to grinding and polishing stage.

If you play forged regardless of brand I would always advise you have the lofts check before and towards the end of your golfing season as depending on the volume of golf you play the lofts will no doubt have softened over time. With them being so soft this allows club builders to move the loft and lie rather easily, with ours they can move upto 5 degrees with ease.

Hope this kind of answers your question.
All the best
Al.

That's because the quality tends to be very high from Japan, especially their forgings. On another note, the Japanese car manufacturers tend to be the most reliable.

Forgive me buddy, but whats PM I'm somewhat new to this forum, and doubt I shall be using much longer. If you contact Greg B or steve or Rick they will give you my email address. Hope this is okay.

No you don't, you have similar quality clubs.

You just paid 3 times as much for them :rofl:

A PM is a Private Message and a way of communicating via the forum. If you click on the users name on the left you can select to send a Private Message which opens a box like an email and off you go

Hey Alex, good to see you on here buddy. Big thanks from me for the T Shirts and programmes you sent me (via twitter) before Christmas.

Really enjoying the positive reviews from some of the forumers. You're definitely on my "wish list" for some new clubs later in the year. Anybody dismissing your products when they haven't even seen them is openly displaying their own ignorance.....

I still wouldn't use TM though, thats my ignorance showing...

 

[MendieGK]

Deaon, The thing about all this slagging off is that you use a Snake Eyes hybrid and Mirua irons, so you obviously understand that all the commercial trash from TM, Callaway ETC isnt always right. Snake Eyes are a competitor of ORKA (and cheap) in that they do custom fit as a priority so what makes them usable and not ORKA?

Also, you would be the first person i would ever have played with that uses a Yonex driver (i play in a hell of a lot of opens), further proving you do not listen to marketing, but the performance of the equipment you have bought.

I've just gone from using the highest quality irons (in terms of price) that Callaway had to offer, and i can honestly say my dispersion etc has improved dramatically since the move about 8 weeks ago.

Maybe just accept that EVERYONE who uses them, loves them, you havent tried them so dont actually have any grounds for criticism?

Enjoy your Miura irons, i bet you love telling everyone how expensive they were.

cheers for the reply, im not bothered about resale prices with clubs and can see where you are in the market. personally i think mizuno are produced better than titleist, so thats an unfair comparison. but from a fitting point of view everyone on here that uses orka have been well impressed with service. i wont discount orka if and when i change.

Actually I didn't, I got a very good deal on them :lol:

just saying

Actually, I accept that you can love your clubs. I said exactly the same thing about my Miura clubs some months ago and a lot of people on here (who had no grounds for criticism) slagged them off too.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that's mine.
