Hey guys Im new here but I have a question regarding a 460 cc forged aluminum driver. Its a 10.5 degree white Orlimar ATS. How does it stack up against titanium?? For a knock off all Ive read are raving reviews. Any insight or knowledge would be great. Thanks

For average and slower swing speeds it's works great. It's a different feel and sound than titanium but all in all it's a good cheap driver.

Thanks for the response. I own 12 drivers and was happy gaming the old Mac v foil but I bought the Orlimar on ebay for 8 bucks. After reading some of the reviews they made it sound like the best thing since sliced bread. It should arrive today so Ill let you know how it hits by tmorrow.

Finally took the Orlimar ATS to the range today. What an excellent, well crafted driver that hits solid with subtle feedback....more instructive than anything. Out of the 20 balls I hit, 15 I striped left center right at the 285 yard mark....it was a nice cluster so the club is very consistent. It's also lightweight...lighter than my V foil and Launcher but a tad bit heavier than my Speedline. The 5 mishits wer my fault and I pushed them rigbt but on a steaight line. I can't hit this as far as my Launcher but it goes as far or further than both the Mac and the Speedline. Overall I'd give it a 4 out of 5 in appearance, playability and durability. Go and get one....it really is worth it. My only gripe was the stock uniflex shaft which I'll probably change down the road but if you're a golfer of all levels...with the 10.5° loft and 46" length this driver is worth looking into. I got it brand new on ebay for 8 bucks....paid more for the shipping. The guy is shutting down shop and has a few days to liquidate his stock so I took advantage. loll

      Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
