EQUIPMENT REVIEW – ORLIMAR GOLF



As a golf professional I have had the pleasure of playing (and/or hitting) just about every brand of club that’s ever come down the pike over the past 20 + years. Like a kid in a candy store some you really like and want more of and others are just ahh…..

Orlimar, although not the first name that comes to mind when contemplating new clubs has re-entered the market with some great offerings across the board; from irons to woods to balls with something for everyone regardless of your skill level.


  •        Tour 2 Irons: Great looking set of irons! Forged, with a traditional look that better players want. Thin top line, uncluttered and classic. Performance is outstanding with a feel as good as anything on the market today!



  •        OMax Driver: Has an adjustable loft, lie and face angle to meet the needs of any golfer. Comes standard with a True Temper Project X shaft in both 9.5* and 10.5* lofts. This driver is a pleasure to hit! Nice sound off the face, great feel and a very responsive Project X shaft. It’s a gamer!



  •        Tour Groove Wedges:  Comes in traditional lofts of 52 /8 bounce; 56/12 bounce, 60/6 bounce. With standard True Temper Dynamic Golf shafts. These clubs provide pin point accuracy like throwing darts at a dart board. Solid spin off the face and very responsive to a variety of shots around the green!



  •        Golf Ball – 318UC: The only ball Orlimar currently produces but is certainly well worth a look. It’s a 3 piece ball designed to provide optimal spin without compromising distance. As a long time player of both Srixon and Titleist I would like to see this ball tested side by side with both as I believe it would measure up nicely!



  •        Tad Moore TadPole Putter: Mallet putter, center shafted with a T shaped aluminum head. Nice feel with ball coming off the face both smooth and true. If you use a mallet putter and/or like center shafted styles give this one a look!


Orlimar has both caught my attention and gained my trust as a viable player in the world of golf equipment that is dominated heavily by a few.

If you’re not one of the millions sucked in by name to keep up with the Jones’s give Orlimar a look, better yet get one in your hands, let the clubs do the talking or should I say selling. For more on the entire line of Orlimar products visit http://orlimar.com
