Orlimar HipTi, 8.5* 300cc, stiff
This is, without a doubt, the absolute longest and straightest driver on the market. I've played over 20 rounds of golf in the last 2 months... just got the HipTi last week... I am easily 30+ yards longer and hitting it straighter than my previous 10.5* driver. This club is USGA conforming and I can hit it easily past the ERC, Bazooka and Snake Eyes non-conforming I've tested. Can't wait for the fairway woods version due in September! Customer Service Orlimar's service has been great Similar Products Used: Callaway ERC & Hawkeye VFT, Titleist 975D & J, Taylor Made 300 Series, Bazooka,Snake Eyes |

orlimar hipti 10.5~ stiff flex
Demo'd this club last week, took it straight to the course, and was quite impressed. My slice was gone, magically turned into straight or gentle fade. Only one mishit all day. Also very long!! Much easier to control than my great big bertha. The only drawback is the price. Orlimar has a winner! Similar Products Used: wilson, callaway, adams, |

This good looking club becomes instantly gorgeous as soon as it strikes the ball. The oversized (yet traditional looking) clubhead sets up extremely well. Behind the ball it instills confidence, and during the swing the club feels very balanced. The sound at impact is the most solid sounding "Whack" you could ever hope to hear. I'll cut to the chase, this driver is LONG, it's FORGIVING, has a nice trjectory, and it buy's you beer after the round...OK that's about the only thing it doensn't do. Compared with the other popular drivers (I've hit them all) this is the best! Kudos to Orlimar on this winner! Similar Products Used: Every driver known to man! |

Orlimar hipTi 315cc 9.5 Stiff
The best driver on the market today. Has the thinnest, strongest face of any club on the market. Comes standard with an excellent Fujikura shaft, 3.5 torque with a mid kick point. Drives 275+ easy (300+ doable with 97+ swing speed) with nice medium ball flight and plenty of roll. Very workable, draw - fade and forgiving on miss hits (10-20 yards left or right but still playable). I would highly recommend this club. Customer Service Excellent service.

I like it. Off center hits go a little to the right or left, but not as bad as others I have hit. The sound takes some getting used to - it's more of a thud than a ting. It's long, 280-300 on a good strike. Lanch angle is higher than I'm used to. I would like to try the 8.5 - All in all the 9.5 is the best one I've tried. Good looking driver too. Any serious golfer should try this club. Don't give up on the first hit - adjust your grip open or closed alittle. After I "tuned" my grip I started getting good results. Customer Service Nice people! Similar Products Used: Orlimar Plus Driver, Cleaveland VAS, Bubble, custom driver, Ping driver and others |

I tried this the other day an I can say that it is a great driver. It hits staight, with a pretty good trajectory, and long too(10-15 yards past my Trimetal Plus). I would recommend to anyone. Excellent club. Try the Deep Red too. Similar Products Used: About everything on the market |

This is a beautiful driver. It is taking a little getting use to because it is such a different type of driver than the Trimetal Plus I was using. THE most solid sounding driver I've ever heard (a deep, solid 'Whack' sound) on solid hits but not very forgiving from what I can tell so far. It seems that on off center hits the shaft vibrates a bit much so you lose a lot of distance and accuracy, but it does let you know 'where' you miss. I'd like to hear what better players have to say about it as well as some players in the 90's to verify my thoughts that it is more of a players club. Customer Service Orlimar has great customer service. If anything ever goes wrong while under warranty they will fix it immediately. Similar Products Used: Cleveland QuadPro |

Love it. I'm on it like Tiny Tim on a Christmas ham. This driver is LONG and STRAIGHT and good lookin. I'm hitting it places (on the fairway) I havnt been in years. It's easier to fade than draw but hey I'll take straight anytime. My 14 yr. old son was booming his Titleist 20 yards past me but now I'm back with him neck and neck.
