I bought the Stratos irons a year ago, I thought hybrids would help me in my advancing age (I'm 76), but I didn't want to spend $500-$800 to find out. In the past, I had played Orlimar's Intercept irons, and had been pleased with their quality at such a low price point. I'm just as pleased with the Stratos irons. I ordered them with senior flex shafts and despite my increasingly slower swing speeds, I've gained back some yardage and find the clubs incredibly forgiving. (I should say, however, that they are a bit heavy. I haven't measured the swing weight, but I'd be surprised if it isn't high D or low E.) I was so impressed that I bought my wife the ladies' version of the Stratos, and her ball-striking and distance have both improved.
The advantage of the Stratos concept is that only 8 clubs can do the work that 11 do in a regular set of woods and irons. With the 4-club serving as a fairway wood/hybrid, the set blends seamlessly from about 20 degrees of loft up through a sand wedge loft. The senior flex shafts that I selected launch my shots high, and I am getting good carry on them. The wider soles on the 8, 9, and P are similar to the chipping clubs that are currently the rage in the golf marketing world, yet the clubs preform admirably during full swings. However, both the A and S wedges need more bounce to utilize them from the sand. Two of us have the Stratos sets, and both of us had to substitute better wedges featuring superior utility. Over-all the entire hybrid-iron design premise is good, the materials are excellent, and the craftsmanship is superb. I replaced a two thousand dollar set of hybrids and irons with the Stratos because the Orlimars are simply better for this senior player. Over the decades Orlimar has delivered a lot of good clubs.
I purchased an assortment of Orlimar golf equipment several months ago and wanted to leave a review now that some time has passed. I'm 60+ years old and wanted to get some new golf equipment for my twilight years. The senior flex shafts help with distance and control, the hybrid heads give the feel of using a rescue club with every iron stroke, and the weight of each club allows you to feel like you don't have to swing hard. I highly recommend this set of irons. I purchased the Orlimar Big Buddha 520cc driver, the Orlimar Big Buddha fairway club, the Orlimar #3 and #4 hybrid clubs, and the Orlimar AW and SW hybrid irons to match the 4-PW. I got three different Orlimar putters and an Orlimar chipper all for less than the price of one expensive putter and I purchased a new Orlimar cooler bag. The low price point and quality of all the Orlimar equipment is phenomenal. I've haven't used the clubs for a full season, but have play a few rounds and taken them to the range a handful of times. The purchase and delivery experience was first rate and I highly recommend Orlimar golf equipment for the recreational golfer!
I got them with the senior shafts. Increase my distance and control. The most forgiving clubs I've played with.
Irons work as advertised. Wish it came with a 3 iron.
