Thanks for the nice comments everyone, but I would like to put the record straight on some of the negative comments aimed at Alex.In no way did I feel belittled,or Alex was condescending towards myself.I was made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived ,and we had some good banter during the fitting.This guy knows his stuff,and I would recommend him to anyone.
I didn’t get that from the video at all, got to have a laugh when getting fitted. The more relaxed you feel the better you’ll hit it. Best of luck with the new clubs.
Peter Johnson just didn’t like some of the little digs towards you Pete. Just over arrogance in my opinion mate. I hope it is just me taking it the wrong way but I got that impression during liams fitting also.
How can you tell what a guy is like from a twenty minute video , Alex clearly knows his craft and I have found over the years a lot of people like that can be very confident people to the point of being rude . Good luck with your fitted clubs Pete and all the fivers Liam is going to be handing over !!
What is it with the negative comments about Alex coming through? Too many are getting offended over anything these days just for the sake of it. Alex is great. He has excellent knowledge and uses that along with humour to take the pressure off and help you feel more comfortable so that you swing better. Alongside that he has a funky sales pitch with a couple of jokes in there. Just a loveable character he seems to me.
Darren Leake I did say he really knows his stuff and I’ve no doubt orka clubs are awesome (I use to play rs3 irons) I was just saying the guy comes across a bit arrogant. I think if he toned it down a touch then the experience would be spot on.
@@donrickdon He does come across that way and the reason is he knows what he's selling is going to out do what its against as soon as he starts looking at lie angles and swing weights, and gets the info ebaypete hasn't been fit before. The swing weight change can be a simple thing like when the grips are changed, tape has been ADDED over the top of the current tape. But he FAILS to mention that so makes it look like a huge negative.
@@donrickdon I agree - i hate people being sarcastic like he does it....I wouldn't go there to be fitted, sorry, even if he clearly does know his stuff
Darren Leake Yes too many negative comments, probably from who have people never been fitted. I wish my fitter would have explained to me what he was doing like Alex explained to eBay. But the result was longer straighter drives.
Way to go eBay! Alex's dry sense of humour may not suit everyone, but the quality of his Club fitting cannot be denied. I have had a set of Orka Irons for over 18 months and they are the best Irons I have ever hit! I gained a club and a half in length, with more spin, a tighter dispersion in Irons with weaker lofts! They have taken my Ball striking to a whole new level!
Another good video Liam. Always enjoy watching an Orka fitting with Alex so I'm a little confused by the negative comments about his style. He must have done thousands of these fittings and he clearly knows his stuff. Even though distance isn't everything the crucial part of this fitting is that the Orka 7 iron is really more like Pete's 8/9 iron in terms of loft so the fact he's increased distance with more loft in his hand is a massive bonus and a major reason why dispersion is better.
Consistency is key in golf and in my eyes Alex seems committed to improving average golfers consistency. I have never been fitted for a club, mainly because I don't trust people with limited technical knowledge. Alex has got excellent knowledge and I'd happily go for a fitting with him, when I can afford his service and clubs. Great vlog, I'm looking forward to seeing your driver fitting and EBay and the Orkas on the hallowed turf of Chorlton Cum Hardy.
After watching a few fittings by Alex,I don’t find him arrogant or patronising at all.Could see it being a good laugh and just need to save up now for a fitting! What an absolute star and gent Pete is,would love to see a lot more of him on your channel.
Nice to see Ebay getting a fitting. As for Alex, and this is just my humble opinion. He put Pete at ease with the bit of banter, which is always a good start. He was clear in what he was telling Pete numbers wise. I would happily go for a fitting with Alex.
I’ve never been fitted but I find Alex’s knowledge very informative. I find it fascinating that a good set of fitted clubs can really help the game. Well done Alex!
Fantastic. After seeing Liam’s fitting made an enquiry with Alex and had my fitting two weeks ago. Loved it and can’t wait to get my hands on the new irons. Alex sure does know his stuff. Well worth it. A lot of people want to compare pricing. I’ve gone for the RS10mb with Orkas RH9 pro stiff shaft. They were £140 per iron. So still cheaper than the latest top brands.
Very interesting video and I've never had this type of technical fitting service before. Difference between top service and average service. Good work lads.
Everytime we go to Orka for a club fitting my knowledge regarding the processes doubles. I find it all so interesting in how much with no swing changes how much performance can improve. Of course a proper golf swing is alwsys the largest factor on permanence but it's so good to know proper equipment & fitting have a massive role to play as well. Thanks Liam, Pete & Mr Orka!
Very interesting fitting for Pete. I really enjoy Alex's personality. I believe this fitting is going to be a great thing for Pete. Great content today Liam.
Great video Liam. Think this will be an eye opener for a lot of Golfmates. Alex definitely knows his stuff & uses his great knowledge together with a relaxed atmosphere. Look forward to seeing Ebay Pete out on the course with his new Orkas.
Never been fitted in all the years I’ve been playing golf,maybe it’s time at least then I can’t blame the clubs, lovely to see eBay back great character.
love how Alex fits clubs and explains his choices with facts! The numbers don't lie. My next set will be done by him. My only wish was he did multiple brands so I could pick from some of my favourite looking heads
Thank you very much for posting this. I learned more here about fitting clubs to the player then I've learned from golf pros at the local club. I now know what I should be looking for to get the best out of my clubs. This guy was very helpful.
He's spot on about seniors being given graphite shaft and cavity back heads. I had a set made to measure like that and found that on a full swing they went further,BUT I lost my short game feel,and my scores were therefore higher.
Very informative Liam thanks for this video we can’t all go to or afford Orca but it gives us more knowledge to ask the right questions when being fitted at the big boys. Also thanks to Alex I found his delivery fine unlike some 👍
Really enjoyed the fitting. Good luck with the new clubs eBay. Hope Liam makes a few vids of you with them. It's like a club fitting with the pub landlord
Another great Vid Liam. Orka product and service is sooo much better than buying off the shelf. I’m on my 2nd set of Orka Irons. And when I improve to need my third, I’ll be going back. Driver fitting next for me.
Liam loved the video... But not an alex fan! He was Trying impress ebay pete with rollout distance! The last thing you want with a 7 iron is rollout distance! You want it to hit the green spin stop...... THE 36 DEGREE ORCA 7 IRON ROLLED OUT MORE THAN THE 30 DEGREE TAYLORMADE!?... how does that even make sence🤷🏻♂️
Alex says at the beginning......when you go to a golf retailer they automatically give you a lightweight graphite iron shaft.....after Pete hits all these shafts......he ends up with.....a lightweight graphite iron shaft. Fittings are great for the swing you are producing that day. As amateurs', we don't make the same swing every day, so getting fitted isn't going to lower scores. You'd be better off spending money on short game lessons with your local pro, and practicing them an hour a day for a couple months. Eliminating 3 putts, and getting up/down 60-70% of the time when you miss the green is what will make you better.
I used to be a great believer in club fittings, I'm starting to lean the other way now. Good idea for single figure players but not as important for higher handicapers.
Great vid, Alex clearly knows his stuff and explains it in such a way that you can understand why he is changing and tweaking Ebays clubs. Never been fitted for clubs before but if I was in the market I would trust him.
Love his knowledge about the clubs I just find Alex a little bit arrogant. Like when Pete picked up the the same two heads and asked what’s the difference, Alex said are your eyes not working. A few other occasions he was really arrogant. I don’t like that at all. Glad Pete had a good fitting thou. Be great to see him out in the course with the new bats.
I think he believed that Pete was talking about the first and second heads he picked up, not the second and third which were the same. Remember the first had a higher center of gravity.
I have one question and one question only. Liam, in all honesty, how much has your fitted Orca irons improved you game? A fitted club is just one of so many other things that dictate distance and accuracy. The laws of physics are very demanding when it comes to golf and there is nothing a club fitting can do to alleviate that demand. In my opinion, the average golfer will always be just that, average. Fitted clubs or not. Kevin O'Rourke
Absolutely to be totally honest I was starting to play well with them. But the lockdown has killed my swing. So I am working so hard to get my game back together
Theoretically fitted clubs take equipment out of the equation-so errors are on the player However it is interesting with all the improvements in golf equipment -USGA says average handicap has improved only 2 strokes in the past 30 years !!
Liam, more of this guy please, I spent a few years with a club maker who spoke the same language back in the early 2000's. As to Crossfield he knows how to manipulate his swing to produce the results on a launch monitor that he requires. not a difficult thing to learn.
Excellent video. I have to say I think Alex is sound out. Love his sense of humour. Total proefssional at the same time. Peter Johnson, I hope a few crispy 5ers find their way into your skyrocket when you get your new bats!!!!
Good to see eBay Pete back looks like he's going to need some 5rs after this. I agree about the shafts if I dont have an extra stiff shaft with a low kick point I lose the ball right
Alex does a good job and gives you all the best advice in choosing your best clubs,he does'nt try and ram an expensive set down your neck he can only suggest what will work best,too many people leaving bad comments on him,do you know Alex,have you met him and had a fitting,(probably not),just haters and nothing better to do but put people down who are doing their job,great video Liam,fear for your fivers
Excellent video as always. The club fitter at Orka really knows his stuff and completely goes against everything I have been told by previous club fitters. Once this virus has passed I’d like to get fitted for some Orka clubs.
Could those clubs have been fitted for someone at C7.6 and they'd be pretty in tolerance surely. I would love to get an Orka fitting though, this guy really knows his stuff!!!
Great video!!!....never thought I’d see ebay Pete getting fitted for clubs??!!...just added Okra to my saved ebay searches (give it a month!!)...lol...Love the detailed fitting from a true pro!!....hate the uncle knob head shoes!!!....what ARE they???
I’m always so impressed listening to Alex. The man knows his craft inside and out. A bit of a waste on eBay though. He’s only going to fancy something else in a few days. Heck, we’d all be disappointed in him if he didn’t! Would like to see more of eBay on the channel though.
Hi Liam can you ask Alex about lie angle, if you are like me where the strike is no where near consistent eg going from toe to heel. How do you judge the lie angle?
About a grand depending on which shaft you need. I've got RS10 MB's which is his most expensive head with his most expensive shafts in and paid just over £1000 for 3 iron to PW. The same spec Titleist CB would have cost me over £1600.
@@neilbarnes3353 here in the States, you can't get a custom fit set of clubs for under $2000 USD. A little over £1000...That's a bargain in anybody's book!!
@@richarddavis3239 you can if you know the right people. I still have friends in the business... it's how I got my Nike Slingshots. I didn't need them fitted as I know my clubs are 1.5" longer than standard and 3° upright. As for club lofts...I took my 1966 Wilson Staff Fluid Feel Irons and made them 3° stronger...which is actually a few degrees less than most modern irons. I decided to just leave the lofts like they were from Nike. In the end I paid substantially less than most people could have gotten them for...they had been a demo set...but they were still in like new shape. Plus...I was reshafting them myself... which I have done many times...and so I saved some $$$$ doing it myself. Put 4 wraps of tape and a midsize grip on each of the club's...great new set of clubs!! If you know the right people...just like anything else...you can get a great deal.
Great video and really enjoyed Ebay Pete and Alex's banter. If I ever change my clubs I will look at Orca and Alex doing the fitting. Pete will probably be in need for another fitting as he is bound to put them on Ebay within the next couple of months !!!!
Great video Liam. There sure is a lot of knowledge that goes in the club fitting. Alex at Orca sure knows his stuff. I found my driver fitting little overwhelming but it sure works straighter, longer drives and that was goal.👍👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦
I am super impressed with the Tech and knolage of the Pro i live in Lancaster and play golf at LGC and i am very interested in going to see this Chap. Top Vid
Liam, it’s absolutely brilliant watching & listening to Alec. Best line of the year- As rare as rocking horse poo!! 😂😂😂😂 What he says is spot on about golf shops, trying to sell you any clubs rather than fitting. At 6’6” I always get my clubs fitted. Costs virtually nothing on something you’re likely to use for years. EBay Pete looked like he’s had a great time rather than what’s cheap on EBay. Are we having a competition to rename him now?😂😂 Orka fitted Pete?
Had the same fitting with Alex. All I can say is he's a bloody great fitter. Sure he has his speel, but none of it is belittling. And he fit's you right. Never hit better balls, since buying Orka's
Enjoyed that video, ,hope you enjoy your new irons Peter, Liam did you get a driver fitting and are you going to show it as I'm thinking about changing mine
Question. Since Alex gets you to hit your own clubs first, and the fitted ones after; do you think the dispersion could be partly down to just warming up and getting more dialed in?
Thanks for the nice comments everyone, but I would like to put the record straight on some of the negative comments aimed at Alex.In no way did I feel belittled,or Alex was condescending towards myself.I was made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived ,and we had some good banter during the fitting.This guy knows his stuff,and I would recommend him to anyone.

Not only fun but educational golf mates. Loving the course tours, matches, lessons, etc. Thinking of everything Liam #life is life
Cheers Mate! 🍻

My money would be on double glazing,pensions or time shares in Tenerife.
haha!
Most people who are the "front-man" or "face" of the club manufacturers display superb salesmanship qualities. 🤑🤑🤑
Was thinking the same myself

Expect great things from you in the near future 👍

Brilliant fitting!
Thanks
I am super impressed with the Tech and knolage of the Pro i live in Lancaster and play golf at LGC and i am very interested in going to see this Chap. Top Vid
Hi Liam, where did you go to to get these clubs fit? Was it the main fitting centre in Wingfield?
Liam, it’s absolutely brilliant watching & listening to Alec. Best line of the year- As rare as rocking horse poo!! 😂😂😂😂
What he says is spot on about golf shops, trying to sell you any clubs rather than fitting. At 6’6” I always get my clubs fitted. Costs virtually nothing on something you’re likely to use for years. EBay Pete looked like he’s had a great time rather than what’s cheap on EBay. Are we having a competition to rename him now?😂😂 Orka fitted Pete?
I do like watching Alex fitting clubs, and enjoy his humour x
Alex was doing his job and I thought he treated E-bay with respect. Good job fitting him I just wish I was fitted properly for my clubs. Cheers!!
It's always been my ambition to good enough so the equipment truly makes a difference - that day has yet to come!
Great vid liam do they do fittings in Austria or is this just uk
Your best asking Alex on his personal twitter account - @AlexOrkaGolf
Well done Pete I hope they work for you. And I also think Alex is a knob..
Alex is a class character! Top Bloke! Should get him on the channel for a 3 hole match
Had the same fitting with Alex. All I can say is he's a bloody great fitter. Sure he has his speel, but none of it is belittling. And he fit's you right. Never hit better balls, since buying Orka's
Glad you enjoyed the video Gary
Now Liam needs his driver fitting haha well done lads
Thought the club fitter was interviewing for a part on the office imitating David Brent from the office 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
More Orka fittings please Liam, great to watch! Cheers
Come on fellas, the mans just having a bit of banter with the boys! chicken and rice..
Great vid and fitting!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love a bit of golf data...and looking forward to seeing eBay Pete out on the course with the new clubs!
You and me both!
Thanks Liam very informative as my granddad said to me 50 years ago it's all about the tools son .
Enjoyed that video, ,hope you enjoy your new irons Peter, Liam did you get a driver fitting and are you going to show it as I'm thinking about changing mine
Good stuff boys👍👍👍👍
Thanks Chris
What happened to Mizuno?
mizuno are josh's sponsor
Whether he's right or not, always enjoy listening to Alex talk about clubs.
Glad you enjoyed the Video Martin
Nice one Pete, I hope they work out well for you!
what an eye opener on golf fitting interesting
I didn't know David Brent was fitting clubs these days
Haha! top
Exactly what I was thinking
Thanks Liam.. Very interesting. I wish there was a pro near me that can fit the way he did.
Are you U.K. based
@@GolfMates Fort Mill, South Carolina US
I could watch Alex do his thing all day long
Glad you enjoyed the video
Very Interesting and informative
I think I'll have to have a fitting myself....what are the cost of the orkas??
Does orka do left handed heads as well? And where is this fitting centre located?
About time that ebay got fitted. Looking forward to seeing how he plays with the new clubs.
Same!
Question. Since Alex gets you to hit your own clubs first, and the fitted ones after; do you think the dispersion could be partly down to just warming up and getting more dialed in?
