Orlimar Hip Ti Driver
I have the 340cc 10.5 model. Great sized head for me. I have the AJ Tech x335 regular shaft which is 46 inches. The face on the 340cc is 2 degrees closed. The ball rips off the face and is very forgiving on off center hits. It seems that I am putting the ball in the fairway with more regularity than my old driver. I think this is a great club and a great value now and would compare it to the Big Bertha and I like it better than the Ping TiSi. Have not played the 975 yet. Looking for a new driver that won't increase your credit line this is the one. Look for them on EBay. Similar Products Used: Ping TiSi. |

I bought the head only on ebay (brand new). I had read from other reviews that the stock shafts are very inconsistant so i put in an innovative td370 2.5 tourque in a stiff flex. I love innovative shafts. I couldn't get it off the ground my first round. I thought I had the wrong shaft, but I gave it a couple of rounds and Since in the last six round of 9 hole round I've hit every fairway but 3 in the six rounds combined. I also gained about 10 yards average on my 200 steel. With the right shaft this club is freaking awsome, but do some shaft homework. I really suggest the innovative shaft. My brother in law and my father in law both bought the same club when i did. One of them put in a ust proforce 75 stiff and i slice it and don't hit it near as far. The other put in a raport shaft and i hit it really high and not as far. Customer Service i bought the shaft from golfworks and they are great Similar Products Used: smt carnoustie, tm 200 steel and 320 ti, great big bertha. |

10.5* stiff shaft
hit this club before you buy it. i know some people who have had great results with it. i have not. i tend to push it right and fade almost exclusively. straight shots or draws are rare but do happen occasionally. it does have a nice feel and sound upon impact, and the ball comes off the face very hot. reshafting might help get it closer to the accuracy of my hawkeye driver. Customer Service very good Similar Products Used: hawkeye,wilson deep red,titleist 975,adams fc,steelhead |

Great club! I bought the 10.5 with the stock shaft about 3 months ago and have never been more satisfied with a club. Since I've been using this club,my drives are at least 25 yards longer than before and consistently. It has a great feel and the Fujikura regular flex works very well with my swing speed(85-90).Orlimar makes a great club and I have a 3,5 and 7 wood,also HipTi models.This driver will be in my bag for a very long time.

8.5* 300cc
I picked up this 8.5* driver with the stock Fujika stiff shaft over the summer and struggled with it at first. I replaced the stock shaft with the Grafalloy ProLite in the stiff flex cut to 43". I now have a driver that is by far, the best driver I have ever hit. My drives have a boring trajectory and seem to roll forever. I can feel the ball compressing on the club face on solid hits and I get pretty good feedback on off center hits. I'm not big on trying to work the ball on my drives. My philosophy is to smash it straight down the center of the fairway. With that said, I have found this to be the longest driver that I've ever owned. I'm really surprised that this club hasn't found its way into more bags. Customer Service Haven't needed it. Similar Products Used: Ping Tisi Tec, Calloway Big Bertha & SteelHead, TaylorMade |

Good club, head much larger than by Great Big Bertha driver. Do not see a great distance between a 7 yr old driver and the current driver. However the 8.5 degree face does hit it higher than my 10 degree driver. What sucked me in was buy the driver and get the Hip Steel fairway wood free promotion. Heck I get a new driver I hit well and a free fairway wood, 20 degree that carries 220 yds. Overall a good looking club, scoring had not changed, still tee it up once a week and shoot in the mid to low 70's Customer Service Store I purchased from has a $45,000 club range simulator, overall a very accurate depiction as to how you are hitting the club.

Orlimar HipTi 9.5 R Flex
At first, tended to leave the clubface open because of the face curvature (bulge), which helps to correct slice or hook swings. Since I have learned to square the clubface at address, I am hitting the ball farther than with any other club. Looks great, too! Customer Service Ebay prices ar dropping for this club - great deals are to be had. Similar Products Used: I tested new Cobra SS, Adams, Ping Tec, and Taylor Made 320 and 360. The TM 360 was a close second. |

Excellent Driver very forgiving. I had the Orlimar Steel Driver w/ a 10 Degree loft it was okay for a driver but it did not give me enough distance. I went to Golfsmith store and traded in for a Hip ti Driver w/a 10.5 Degree what a difference. Good price for a titanium driver. I compared the Callaway and Taylor Made but for this driver gave me the best feel and distance especially if you hit it solidly. But before you buy a new driver try it out first hit some few balls and compare and feel the club. Customer Service Orlimar has excellent customer service.

I bought this beautiful club at second swing in great condition. Brought it out to the range and proceeded to hit some very wild shots. Then I hit some bombs that went through the range into the tee boxes of the golf course behind it. With the Fujikara Stiff Flex and overall light weight I generated amazing club head speed. Tested at Golf Galaxy at 118 with a steelhead. But with this extremely light club, I was probably generating 125mph club head speed. Anyways, I hit one so the ball met the very top of the club face. It indented the face a little. I kept hitting because I've been playing with a Steelhead Big Bertha with a small indent in the same place. But this time the indent got progressively worse. Then to my amazement, after hitting about twenty balls, the club face cracked wide open. I immediately returned it to Second Swing. They told me that alot of new clubs are producing very thin faces and that a high swing speed like mine will often do that to these clubs. But of the few shots I did hit with it, I think this club is great and I wish I could play it. The store let me switch to a Mizuno T-Zoid Forged Ti for free but I've yet to hit it. Anyways, if you have very high club head speed, shy away from this one. If you generate average club head speed, let the big dog eat! By the way the Fujikara stiff flex is a little soft. Customer Service Second Swing did an A++++ job. Similar Products Used: Just store tested many of the newer driver models. |
