I wanted to see if these were better than the hybrid irons I was already using, were they ever! I had been playing a 35,30,25,20 degree set of hybrids I assembled from components. I generally have a second shot of 140-170 yards and the mid irons are a very important component of my set composition. These are easy to hit and fly straight and high from the fairway but what really sets them apart is their ability to launch a similar flight from the rough. I never have been able to hit a 5 iron like this from the rough with such consistency. Yes a little distance is lost and the flight is not quite as high but these glide through the rough and put the clubface square on the ball, amazing.
I initially only ordered the 6 iron as a test then ordered the 4,5 and 7. Had I realized a full eight club set was available I might have gone that route to begin with although I am not sure I would like using this type of club for short irons so I will order it wedge and try it. As far as the mid irons are concerned they are the easiest (and accurate) clubs I have ever hit and I have had all the big name clubs in my bag at one time including clubs I have assembled, where were these clubs when I started to play? Well they were not made yet, club design has come a long way.

I purchased the 6i replacement, with 31 degree loft and senior flex. The club is easy to swing and I have seen good results. Hybrids as a general rule are more forgiving than their iron equivalents and this club is no exception. I would say the only negative would be the grip, which is a bit "cheapish" and will need to be replaced eventually. The loft is good and the distance is decent. The clubhead is shaped a bit different from my other hybrids, but it is a solid club that I believe you'll like and it's priced right too.

I bought a 7i 33 loft and love it. Easy to hit and straight as an arrow. The hybrids seem alot easier to hit then my nike irons, i now try to hit my hybrids instead. The 7i hybrid i hit 150 yards, with my regular 7 iron about 140. Great Club!!!

It didn't take long for me to realize the tremendous difference between using a regular 6 iron and using the Orlimar Hybrid 6. My first shot with the new hybrid was straight as a ruler at the flag! I'll be replacing all of my irons shortly!

I purchased the Orlimar Men's Hybrid IRS Iron Replacement System #3, as shown in the display photo. There is really no place in the order to specify the iron size equivalent. It showed a #3 so I ordered one.

I received, however, a #7. The ordering process needs to be improved to allow customer specification of the club # they seek to purchase. ( as of Aug 14, 2011)

This is no fault of the item, which feels solid and balanced.

I purchased the Orlimar IRS 7 iron in April. It works great. Always feels solid and I hit it much straighter than my regular 7 iron. I am going to purchase the IRS 5 iron and the IRS 6 iron.

The #4 Orlimar hybrid club attractive and looks to be well made.I have only played it a few times and it has a good feel and drives the ball well.The headcover could be a little better.

The club looks great and feels greeat, but it requires some degree of concentration to provide the kind of ball flight expected from the club ... guess I need more practice ... as always, its not the club, its the clubber! Great price and good club.

Needed hybrid,not hitting irons real good,
have three other hybrids and hit them well.
The club I brought is 31 degree and I hit it
about 145 yds
