They don’t publish their prices, all I can say is that it’s less than you think
They're about 100 to £120 a club but could be more dependent on grip and shaft optionsHow much are those mb/cb's going to set you back for a fitted 4-pw set?
There’s a genuine reason for us not putting prices etc on the website.How much are those mb/cb's going to set you back for a fitted 4-pw set?
I do. What a character and here is Liam's custom build (long video)

There’s significant variables in shaft for starters. Other OEMs say ‘no up charge on shafts’, what they are actually doing is charging you for the most expensive shaft and earning more cash on the cheaper shafts.
Secondly, it’s to protect the margins of our stockists. Online selling/price matching etc is one of the reasons the golf industry is in the state it is in.
That makes sense, and is the clearest answer I’ve had. What worries me was that this looked like a “boutique” brand, and usually, if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it. I didn’t want to find my self (some time in the future), going for a fitting, then finding out the heads cost hundreds of pounds each.
“Less than you think” means nothing.
I think you have a point. When you can't find a price online you tend to assume the worst, that it'll be extremely high and that's why they haven't put it up. Perhaps Orka should do more on their website to explain why they don't have the prices there, so people don't just dismiss them thinking it'll be astronomical. Could maybe even give a rough guide saying it could vary between 100 and 160 per iron depending on shaft, head etc etc. Just the way Mendie has explained it here.That makes sense, and is the clearest answer I’ve had.

I really enjoyed this video. Very informative and clear reasons for how clubs work the way they do.
I’m not in the market for irons at the moment but will definitely bear Orka in mind in future.

It looks a really good brand and I've only heard positive things - I'm looking to replace my (12 year old) irons and would seriously consider them. Is it best to go to the national fitting centre (near Luton?) or a regional fitter? Is there a waiting list for either?
All of our fitters and green grass accounts are given training and work closely with us.I am thinking the same. What I am not sure about is that as their fitting process appears to be quite different to other fitters (and Alex talks a lot about the differences in clubs, and perhaps the fitting process) I wonder whether you would get the same "service" using one of their accredited fitters (who also fit other brands). Do those guys now follow the same principles if they were fitting a mainstream brand now?
Will you only get the real benefit if you see Alex for instance
I'm not ready to change clubs yet but watching a few of the Orka fitting videos, it has opened my eyes and raised a few questions over whether my fitted clubs are really optimal for me.
