Summary: I recently bought this 2-wood and this is completely rubbish. The clubface is so tiny that is almost impossible to hit it in the sweet spot, and even when you hit it the ball goes very high in the air (balloon) with no roll. As a result, the overall distance is pretty short. Besides, the shaft feels too boardy and seems like it's not going to flex at all.
With this club (13º), I do a few yards less than with my TM Rescue 16º Stiff, which is quite deceiving.
Similar Products Used: I've tried the Sonartex SS3.5, which really has a great feel, nice distance and promotes a low and boring trajectory.

Summary: Their low profile face and shallow heads make them playable from virtually any lie - even out of fairway bunkers! The weighting of the clubhead during a swing is unmatched by any other fairway wood i've used with ball flight between straight to a slight draw... in fact the strong 3 13* wood is an extremely long club with the lowest tee height and an excellent option off the tee instead of a driver.The higher lofted clubs are excellent replacements for long/mid irons... the 21* comfortably covers the 2-4 iron distances and replace 5 iron with 26* wood and 6 iron with the 30* wood and never miss your 150+ yard approach to the green! Highly recommended!!!

Summary: I just bought this 7-wood 21-degree, R-flex graphite shaft from Sport Authority store, brand new for 49.99. I like it as much as my 3-wood and 5-wood original Trimetal. I hit it about 5 yds longer than my old Callaway warbird 7 wood, maybe after I am used to it I can hit it 10 yds longer. Very good product, I cannot justify nor want to spend $150-250 for a fairway wood that would yield the same results

Summary: I've hit other Orlimar fairway woods before with good success,but these make the original Orlimar fairway woods look bad.I carry both a 15 degree and 23 degree Trimetal II and they are just great.The 3 wood has such a boring ball flight and the 7 wood goes so high that they are just the ball flights I wanted.
I can work the ball either way I need,
almost without thinking.I've also gained about 20 yds with the 3 wood.I don't have anything to compare the 23 degree wood with other than I hit it 200 yds without any wind help.I was in Pinehurst 2 weeks ago,and I lost track of how many greens I hit with these woods.I'm now looking for a
26 degree model,and I won't need to carry a 4 or 5 iron.I'll keep them in the bag for looks,(I wouldn't want anyone to know I don't use them).I paid $49.95 for each wood.That price makes them unbelievable
