Exclusive: In Hand Orka Golf 2009 Line-Up
Orka Golf – the little company making big noises in Europe has given GolfWRX an exclusive look at their new line up for 2009.
GolfWRX regulars will remember Orka’s FP3 forged irons and the excellent Kii Driver from reviews on Bag Chatter earlier this year. Since then, Orka have gained further recognition from print media culminating in winning ‘Best Player’s irons’ in a major British golf magazine for their PS9 forged irons, beating off competition from irons like the Mizuno MP-67, Cleveland CG Tour and Nike CCi.
Orka’s line-up adds 2 new drivers, a new range of fairway woods, a new hybrid and a new wedge, all pictured here, and 2 new irons.
Left – 2009 PS40, Center – 2008 Kii, Right – 2009 Kii CF

Crown of Kii CF Driver with PU paint

The Kii CF Driver is forged from 3 pieces of 6-4 Titanium and has a single weight port at the back generating high launch/low spin. Available in 9,10,12 and HL (14) lofts, with an Aldila DVS shaft it will retail at £129.
Sole of Kii CF Driver

Sole of PS 40 Driver

The PS40 Driver is cast from 2 pieces of titanium – the body being from 6-4 titanium and the face 15-3-3 titanium that has been CNC milled with Dynamic Face Design (DFD) technology and has a PVD scratch-resistant all-black finish. It also features 2 interchangeable weight ports. Both the Kii CF and the PS40 have PU paint across the crown. Orka tell us that this came from experimenting with large footprint drivers. The larger drivers with their lower Center of Gravity produced the desired ball flight and spin levels but with an unacceptable noise profile. Developing the rubberized paint allowed them to keep the larger footprint while retaining the sound of a conventional sized driver.
Available in 8,9,10,12 and HL (14) lofts with the same Aldila DVS shaft, the technically more advanced PS40 will retail at £269.
Face of PS 40 Driver

Sole of PS 40 Fairway and hybrid

PS40 fairways and hybrids are both made from 15-5 steel. The fairways are available as 3,4 and 5 woods while the hybrid comes in 16, 19, 22, 25 degrees.
RS18 Wedge

The RS18 wedge is a low bounce wedge forged from a single billet of soft S25c carbon steel, CNC milled and then hand finished and plated. Available in 52,56,58,60 lofts and priced at £89.
The new irons will be the GS5 and the GS5 OS, both with PU vibration reducing medallions.
Orka have been proving to be successful with club makers across Europe with their attitude to sell clubs singly and as heads only and have also started to gather a strong following on the Challenge tour as well as players on the Ladies European Tour such as double Solheim Captain Dale Reid and Corrine Dibnah, winner of the British Open.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
