Summary:
My wife wanted to go the shopping mall, so I told her I would drop her off. While she shopped I went over to the Sports Authority to look around. I noticed a number of loose irons stuffed into a golf bag. The irons were cheap children's clubs, but I noticed a new set of Orlimar SF302 iron in the pile. I pulled out the clubs and noticed that 7 iron was missing. I didn't know much about the Orlimars and I really didn't need any more irons, but they were $4.47 per club so I bought all 7 clubs (3-6,8-PW) for $ 33 dollars.

The clubs are very attractive, and come with an acceptable grip and a royal precision flighted shaft.(R-flex)

The irons were brand new with the exception of some glue from tape used to demo the clubs which I cleaned off.

I was not sure what they would be like to hit. They looked fairly difficult to hit and they are a little more difficult than your standard cavity back. When you don't make solid contact they will make a clicking sound, and can provide some jaring feedback when poorly struck.

You can hit a fade, draw, low or high shot. They really make it easy to work the ball. That's not my game as I want to hit the ball straight and the clubs perform well in that area.

Distance is not much different that what I was getting with my prior clubs. I hit the ball very high and that has everything to do with my swing and little to do with the club.

These clubs knocked my other set out of the bag and they did so for one reason. The feedback is addictive. I played forged blades from my teens to age 39 when I went to the deep cavity back irons. These irons are every bit as sweet as those blades. The SF stands for "softer than forged" and these live up to the marketing.

I have not lost or gained strokes with these clubs. I don't expect to improve my game beyond my previous clubs. I have these in the bag because they just feel great, and the thin top line reminds of a time when I could really hammer a long iron.

none- no expectations at that price

Summary:
I have enjoyed playing with my Orlimars for the last 2 years, and I have shaved 3-4 strokes off my scores on average. My only problem is that I have had 2 clubs break and they are extremely difficult to replace...but maybe I should of had steel shafts all along.

Customer Service:
Could be better, they were pretty useless in helping me replace clubs that had broken at the hosel.
