Orlimar Hip-Ti 420cc Driver w/Aldila NV-55 stiff shaft Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2005-01-30, Mike K - IL rated this Orlimar Hip-Ti 420cc Driver w/Aldila NV-55 stiff shaft a 4...(4980)



Purchase: Purchased driver off Ebay in 2004 for $190. In 2003, I purchased The Orlimar Hip-Steel fairway metals in a 3,5,& 7 wood. Every year for the past 8 years I try and often buy a new 3 wood and driver-looking for the answer and edge. I'm currently a 5 handicap. I loved the looks and performance of the Hip-Steel woods so well, I decided to acquire an Orlimar driver. I have been a big supporter of Titleist and own the 975J,JVS, and 983K drivers. All are excellent,and offer better control and workability, but they are not nearly as long as the Orlimar Hip-Ti 420.
Pros: This driver sets up well, has a traditional look, and with the NV shaft is much longer than the 983K. The Aldila stiff shaft is tipped stiff for a lower boring flight and is wonderful for those demand a truly consistent stiff to extra stiff shaft flex. This driver is probably 15-25 yards longer than my 983K. The ball simply explodes off the face. The ball fades from this club more than I'd like and I will experiment with lead tape and perhaps a slightly smaller grip for better control. I have hit a number of absolutely long powerful 300+ drives with this club. Not bad for a 46 year old.
Cons: Orlimar provides a leather headcover with it's woods. They are black and beautiful. However, these monster size driver heads have fit issues with headcovers. It takes two hands to put it on.
Quality: Orlimar has manufactured a quality product and will save you money from the premier OEM's.

Review Summary: If you desire additional length off the tee, want a club with significant eye appeal, and demand performance - the Hip-Ti driver may be for you.
