Orlimar isn't a name you see on tour, and the Golf ATS iron set doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. This is a value-brand game improvement set built for golfers who want playable irons without spending TaylorMade or Ping money. Cast stainless steel, a deep cavity back, and weight pushed out to the perimeter. That's the whole recipe, and it's a proven one for getting the ball in the air and keeping mishits from falling apart.
The lofts tell you what kind of set this is. The 7-iron sits at 28 degrees, which by 2021 standards is fairly traditional. Plenty of game improvement irons had already jacked their 7-irons into the 27 or even 26 range to chase distance numbers on a launch monitor. Orlimar left the ATS closer to where a 7-iron used to live, so the distances you get feel honest rather than inflated by a strong loft and a longer shaft.
What you're really paying for is forgiveness at a low price. The ATS won't give you the feel of a forged blade or the tight shot control a better player wants, and it was never trying to. For a newer golfer or someone rebuilding a bag on a budget, this set does the main job well: get the ball up, keep the bad ones from being disasters, and don't cost a fortune.
In short
The Orlimar Golf ATS (2021) is a forgiving game-improvement iron built for consistent distance. The set runs 5-iron to PW with a 28° 7-iron. It carries a $299 MSRP.

The ATS uses a cast head rather than a forged one, which is how the price stays down and how the cavity gets shaped for forgiveness. Casting lets Orlimar hollow out the back and move that saved weight to the toe and heel, so the sweet spot is larger and off-center hits hold their line and speed better than they would on a thin-topline players iron. Perimeter weighting also lowers the center of gravity, which helps a slower swing get the ball launching without having to flight it manually. The loft progression is steady from the 21-degree 5-iron down to the 42-degree pitching wedge, with roughly four to five degrees between clubs. One thing to plan for: at 42 degrees, the pitching wedge leaves a noticeable gap to a standard 56-degree sand wedge, so most players will want a gap or approach wedge around 48 to 50 degrees to fill it.
The Orlimar Golf ATS's 7-iron is lofted at 28° - moderately strong - slightly stronger than traditional lofts. For a golfer with an 85-95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 157-167 yards. The 5-iron (21°) to 7-iron gap of 7° is well-gapped, which may create overlapping distance windows with similarly lofted fairway woods or hybrids. The pitching wedge at 42° is relatively strong - consider a gap wedge of 46-48° to bridge the distance to your sand wedge.
Yes. The cavity back, perimeter weighting, and low center of gravity make the ATS one of the easier sets to launch, and the cast stainless heads keep the price low enough that a beginner isn't over-investing while still learning to strike the ball.
The ATS 7-iron is 28 degrees. That's a fairly traditional loft for 2021, stronger sets of that era pushed the 7-iron toward 27 or 26 degrees. It means your distances are honest rather than boosted by a jacked loft.
Probably. The set's pitching wedge is 42 degrees. If you carry a 56-degree sand wedge, that's a big gap, so adding a gap or approach wedge around 48 to 50 degrees gives you cleaner spacing on your short approach shots.
They're cast, not forged. Casting keeps the cost down and lets Orlimar build in the deep cavity and perimeter weighting that drive the forgiveness. The trade-off is feel, cast irons don't give the soft feedback a forged blade does, but that's a fair swap at this price.
Quite forgiving for the money. The perimeter weighting and cavity back spread mass to the toe and heel, so off-center hits lose less speed and stay closer to your target line. They won't match a top premium game improvement iron, but for a value set they hold up well on mishits.
