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.

I wouldn't get too hung up about residual resale values on these sort of clubs.
If you buy brand spanking new custom fit Mizunos or Titleists they will cost you about £800. Depending on specs the Orkas will cost you anywhere between £500-700. After 5 years the Mizzy/Titleists will get you back £150 on the 2nd hand market, the Orkas probably £75-100.
Do the sums, it's a no-brainer

I'd consider the residuals when buying a car but never golf clubs. If I had the chance to test loads of them I'd just pick the one that performed best rather than what brand it was. I am a bit wary of newclubitis though and when it might wear off!!

welcome to the awseomeness Rick. Used mine for my lesson yesterday, the pro liked them.
I too purchased a full set without any thought of resale value. These are the first clubs I have paid for and I intend to have a very long and successful relationship with them

Had never heard of them before, are they expensive??

I have to say I considered the re-sale value before diving in.
But, looking at how I'm hitting them, looking at the clubs themselves, I can't see a reason to need to change them for 3-5 years unless I change physically in that time, and if I did, the shafts could be changed easily to compensate for any loss of swingspeed.
And after 5 years not many clubs are worth much in the 2nd hand market.
Mine have a cavity - like the RAZRX Tours I had before - but these are a doddle to clean!

Ian, are the new ones a lot less forgiving than the Callys? Are they more like the old Mizzys or are they a little surprise package?

I would say that if they're not as forgiving as the RXT's then they're not far behind.

Love that quote "like comparing VW and Skoda". Now please forgive me if I seem a touch crass as genuinely it's not intended buddy. Orka simply can not be compared to Tits or Mizzies your right, purely in the sense that we are two massively differing brands in that we are not a mass produced off the shelf retail brand, more importantly we are a specialist bespoke brand like Vega, Miura etc (and we BRITISH). We use top end Japanese s25c steel for our forged irons just like Miura etc, difference being we don't CON the market out of their hard earned buddy we stupid adverts that suck people into believing everything they see. So I would more likely say you can't compare a Maybach (Orka) to a BMW (Tit, Mizzie) as they are two completely different animals chappy. All the best.
Enjoy the master.
