Nice sticks, never heard of the brand but love the improvement made to you're numbers GC2 certainly don't lie! Just because a pro isn't advertising them saying they'll make you hit 900 yards more-ier doesn't make them any good! Look lush to me, thing i take from this is custom fitting whatever the club i will now custom fit them all(cost depending). The amount of times I have gone into AG and been handed a club which on special immediately makes me want to avoid them at all Cost! My nike driver had custom fitted at my local custom fitting independant golf store with a PGA pro and the results are brilliant! If they work on the launch monitor they'll work full stop! Enjoy the new shinnies makes me want more clubs ;)
 
This has made brilliant reading!

I've never paid too much attention to different shafts etc as I've only ever bought from AG or Nevada (although I have had them checked in store they have all said I'm ok for straight off the shelf purchases).

I hope they work out well for you Rick and they turn out to be the difference between your hcap now and what you want it to be!!

Keep everyone informed how they go! :thup:
 
How long did your c/f mizunos last?

Good luck with your new bats. With your swing, you need it!

2! Hah!

When the weather changes, we need to play, I need to see this potential 2 handicapper in action.

No Steve, ORKA don't crank their lofts......

Iron #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #P
Loft. 21 24 28 32 36 40 44 48

Exactly the same lofts as my KZG cavity backs that are now into their 11th year of use. Custom fitted for me by Rene Cleaver at Club Masters. Still get funny looks from playing parteners 'cause I am hitting one club less into par 3's than they do with their 'tweaked' Taylor Mades etc.
 
Lots of rubbish spoken on here by those that wouldn't know an Orka if it smacked them on the ankle. Just because they don't have tour players and spend millions on advertising that doesn't make them a lesser brand. At the other end of the spectrum but in a similar fashion MD make some brilliant gear, accessible to the club golfer not wanting a a hefty price tag. Doesn't make them a bad club either.

I have never hit them so can't comment on them but there does appear to be a growing love in for them. Plenty of varying degrees of ability on here so it will be interesting to see how the Orka gang fare. My advice to the knockers would be to hold your counsel or try them before you knock them
 
Interesting read but disheartening to see a few knock his choice. Good luck Rick.... I've actually found a guy local who fits them and I may just pay a visit over the Easter holidays to see for myself ;)

Give us an update after a few rounds!

So Rickg starts a thread telling us he's changed to Orka, within 10 pages it's turned into an Orka bashing fest and even when someone from Orka comes on to give their take on things nothing changes.

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

Rick, hope they work out for you, they certainly look like a nice, compact and uncluttered clubhead and if the shaft works as the stats show for you than it should be a good start to the season for you. Keep us up to date on progress.

Great Shout btw Dave.
Rick cracking write up, loving the stats too.
Hope they do you proud.

Some of the negativity on here lately is a total joke. Just saying.

Cheers John.....I'm actually hoping this purchase will save me money by not changing my clubs every 6 months!! :o

there were a few things that drove me towards ORKA

-The reviews they had been getting

-The look and feel of them.....have hit Fundy's and although he has a scaffold pole for a shaft, I hit them pretty good.

-I needed better accuracy- the reports kept coming back of better dispersion and that has been a big issue for me lately

- Everyone I know that got fitted gained yardage - although given a choice, I would have sacrificed this for accuracy, it was a bonus that they are around a club longer, and that's without silly lofts

- They are a British Manufacturer, :thup: (just like my Stewart Trolley and its always good to buy British when you can)

- Cost- very competitively priced

- Quality - as good as MUIRA, Vega, etc

- Service- I know ORKA will look after me for the life of these clubs

- Unique - I've always liked being a bit different and these tick that box

I am very happy with the decision and just hope I can do them justice and get the handicap down to where I know it should be.

Lol....thought about it, but too impatient and didn't want to delay the delivery....thought briefly about my beloved Huddersfield Town Terriers logo, but then only Basher would have been able to buy them in a few years time... :o
