Orlimar 11 degree
I was surprised by the sound, feedback and accuracy of this club. I'm using it off the tee (tee it very,very low) with consistent results -- on average I'm hitting 70 percent of the fairways and the distance is comparable to a 10 degree driver. I got the steel shaft and I'm glad. The graphite was simply too light. This is a forgiving club and a real confidence builder. I'm now considering the 15 and 21 degree fairway woods. And at $100 the price is right. Similar Products Used: Taylormade Burner Bubble, Nickent Mighty Hawk |

I picked up the 5 wood and promptly went back for the 3. The first time out I was hitting the 5 just as long as I hit my Big Bertha 3+. Seems to be straighter and more consistant than other metal woods I have played. I liked the value, but I paid a lot less than the $275 MSRP listed on this page.

Orlimar Trimetal Driver (9deg)
WOW! One word sums up this amazing golf club. I used to only play w/ a three wood because I couldn't find a driver I could hit w/ consistency. Those days are long gone now!!!! The ball bounces of the clubface at impact like I've never seen before! I've only been playing for two years, I'm now I hit 265-70 yard drives consistently. If you're looking for a driver that you can actually hit consistently, THIS IS THE CLUB FOR YOU. Now that the Trimetal Plus series has come out, you can get this club for $150-$180 (varies from store to store). A GREAT club at a GREAT value. I could only give this club a 5 star rating, but it deserves 10 stars!!! Go hit the Trimetal Driver!! Similar Products Used: Titleist 975D |

orlimar trimetal driver 7.5
I am currently hitting an Orlimar trimetal 7.5 degree driver. Though I have to admit I have gained about 10 yds off the tee, I cant hit it consistantly. The 9 degree shoots the ball too high. These are my choices being left handed. I think this club has the smallest sweet spot around. My previous golfsmith 15-5 ss driver was much more consistant but a little shorter off the tee. I think the maraging steel face has merit but I am officially looking for a another driver. My stats are, 106-109 swing speed, about 260 off the tee. Customer Service Exchanged club for different loft, Orlimar shipped wrong club back to store TWICE! Asked Orlimar about bulge and roll of clubface, they declined my request.

Orlimar Trimetal 11 degree
This is by far the longest wood I have ever hit. Most of the other reviewers got it right...tee it low! But anything resembling solid contact was at least 15 yards farther than my old driver. I would guess that this is an excellent club for a senior golfer who swings slowly and needs distance. If you try to force the Orlimar, you are in trouble, but a nice easy swing will get you at least 15 more yards off the tee. Similar Products Used: None |

Orlimar 17 degree and 21 degree
Because of the low center of gravity and shallow face of the Orlimar, I recommend you do not hit it off a tee or from the rough. In either case the club head tends to get underneath the ball and creates a high lofted shot without much distance. But if you hit it off the deadpan by sweeping the ball, you will absolutely love the results of this club. You don't need to swing hard and will get excellent distance. I got my Orlimars for about $170 each, but I've seen them on sale for $120 or less, which I believe to be a great deal. Similar Products Used: Callaway, Lynx |

This club isnt as good as the hupe. Im a pretty good player and it is so hard to hit tis because the face is very small. Tought to hit off the tee, you must either not tee it ip or tee it very very low. With fairway woods you should hit a little bit down on the ball. With this you Must sweep it or it will pop up. If you are a good, i mean GOOD fairway wood sweeper then this club MAY be for you, however if u hit down a little then it is not for you. For my gae i do not like it. The pricese at golf day are now 99 for steel and 119 for graphite, good price. Similar Products Used: None |

Most of the people submitting reviews here don't get it. You must tee this club low to the ground. It is a true "fairway wood" in that it works best teed low or without a tee. If you do this it is the best out there. I think the "bigger is better" mentality has brainwashed a lot of golfers. Customer Service n/a, but Orlimar is a local company that has been making clubs for decades, and has always had a great reputation, even among touring pros. Similar Products Used: Callaway GBB |

Orlimar Trimetal 13 Deg
Good club but of very limited use. Tends to slide under the ball in anything less than a perfectly smooth fairway. Very good off the tee (tee it low). Also, I have a serious problem with the rather boorish jerk of a reviewer who said that you suck if you can't consistently hit it well. That dolt sounds rather juvenile and his opinion should be ignored. Similar Products Used: Lynx Black Cat Ti, Adams Tight Lies |

Simple as this. If you can't hit these fairway woods a ton on a consistent basis......you suck! Having trouble with the negative reviews here, must be a ton of crappy golfers! With the exception of NEVER hitting these from even moderate rough, they are incredible. Similar Products Used: Everything. |
