The Orka CTi SF is a players distance iron released in 2021, designed for mid-handicappers (typically 8–18 HCP) who want the look and feel of a players' iron with added distance from a hollow or partially hollow construction. These irons bridge the gap between workability and forgiveness. The 2021 model's 7-iron is lofted at 34°, maintaining a traditional loft progression that prioritises predictable gapping.

About the Orka CTi SF
The Orka CTi SF features a hollow or semi-hollow construction that allows for a thinner, faster face and lower CG while preserving a players' address profile. Technology from the game-improvement category meets the aesthetic of players' irons. At impact it delivers energetic and direct, with a firmer feel typical of hollow-body constructions, often dampened with internal foam or polymer.
Loft Analysis
The Orka CTi SF's 7-iron is lofted at 34° — traditional — aligned with classic iron loft standards. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 136–146 yards. The 5-iron (26°) to 7-iron gap of 8° is spread across a wide range, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 46° is traditionally lofted, pairing naturally with a standard 52° gap wedge.

- ✓Mid handicappers (8–18 HCP) who want players'-iron aesthetics with added distance
- ✓Golfers currently in game-improvement irons who are ready to step up
- ✓Players who prioritise distance and workability over maximum forgiveness
- ✓Golfers who carry a 7-iron 130–150 yards and want traditional loft gapping
