My names Rick and I play ORKA clubs!

[G1BB0]

I should give you all an infraction for talking .. oh wait nearly got one myself there

 

[deanobillquay]

I have no opinion on Miura clubs. I've never even seen one so I have no facts to base an opinion on..anything in previous threads would have been observations based on your opinion of what is best..
To have an opinion you need facts to base it on....

To have an opinion, all you need is a view on something. It's a forum, anybody can say anything, lighten up. I accepted the pisstake over my choice of irons, I'm now giving it back.

 

[G1BB0]

haha, anyway back on subject.

2 handicap eh Rick, better sort them leaky ones to the right then

Just did..........last night!!!!! Ask Fundy.

 

[bluewolf]

An un-informed opinion is just words strung together...

Or, in the more common vernacular.... A forum... It takes all sorts of people eh, and everyone has an opinion, just like everyone has an ar......... nearly forgot myself there. Better keep my infraction slate clean...

Good luck to Rick and I hope he hits them well. Sounds to me like the change of shaft was a big factor. I can't see the improvement in clubhead speed and direction coming from the clubheads alone.

Definitely right Ethan......when I hit the same heads with the stiff shaft, I just couldn't make it perform.......pushed everything straight right, lost 5mph club head speed and over 18 yards.....

 

[G1BB0]

so, how many sets will you have in total once all the Orka's are in the bag?

So were these Orka shafts?

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.

Hmmmm, my point seems to have been missed. VW make Skoda so apart from the shell of the car they have the same technology under the bunnet. However after 18 months you can beat your last buck the VW is worth more than the Skoda. My only issue is residuals as I change clubs all the time, so an Orka purchase for me wasn't an option as I like to buy and sell at (very) short notice. Sometimes mid round.

I think the conclusion is, that your a very special case

 

[rickg]

just the one Steve........both sets of Taylor Made irons will be sold and assuming the driver/woods fitting goes to plan then the R11s and RBZ woods/ hybrids will follow.......removing all temptation......

 

[Foxholer]

I've owned a couple sets of (badged) Miuras and a few sets of TM badged Miuras. Also a set of Vegas and the current Endo forgings.
Having hit Orkas, both CBx and Blades, I certainly would be happy with them in the bag.

The residual value would only be a concern if I was intending/expecting to change quickly - in which case I'd go 2nd hand with a shaft I know works for me in the first place.

see I learned from the best folks.

Your back on the throne as the king of bag changes Rick. I reckon the new clubs will be in for the forseeable though.

Lets hope the weather picks up just in time for when the new gear is all ready so you can go & take the course apart with them (although not literally )

chuffed for you fella.

 

[rickg]

So were these Orka shafts?

They are ......I'm getting the NH9 Pro Pure........Alex did say who made them but I can't for the life of me remember. I'm sure one of the other Orkaites will know.

 

[Imurg]

I think they're made by FST but can't be 100% sure on that
I think they make KBS too

 

[G1BB0]

oooh I have KBS... nice shafts. Does it matter who makes them though aslong as they work

 

[JJF69]

I think the conclusion is, that your a very special case

whatever girlfriend

 

[ScienceBoy]

But have you considered the resale values?

I hope not, it should not be a factor in buying golf clubs! Cars are fine, same for houses but not clubs!

 

[fundy]

Yes the Orka shafts are made by FST who make the KBS shafts
