Orlimar Escape HL 5 Wood – Left-Handed, Regular Graphite Shaft

Meet the Orlimar Escape HL #5 Fairway Wood

The Orlimar Escape HL line is designed for men who swing left-handed with a regular graphite shaft, offering a versatile set of lofts from 15° to 37°. The 5-wood in this family sits at 19° and measures about 42 inches in length, creating a confident, controllable long-iron alternative that can help you shape your approach shots from a variety of lies.

With a wrap-around, ultra-thin face, this club is engineered to promote faster ball speeds while maintaining a comfortable feel at impact. The result is a more forgiving hit that can produce a steadier flight, especially on shots struck toward the center of the face. The feel is balanced and responsive, giving you a sense of connection with the ball without overwhelming vibration.

Progressive internal heel weighting shifts weight toward the heel as you move through your set, assisting in squaring the face at contact and offering the potential for a draw-leaning trajectory when you want it. This design, paired with a face-forward silhouette, aims to reduce mis-hits toward the hosel and provide a more confident setup for players who tend to struggle with shanks or thin contacts.

The shank-proof design is a notable feature for players seeking extra forgiveness on mis-hits. Its face-forward construction focuses on making cleaner contact even when your swing isn’t perfect, giving you a practical option when you need distance without sacrificing control. The club comes in a left-handed configuration with a 19° loft, sized for a 42-inch standard length and a regular flex graphite shaft, and includes a headcover for protection when you travel or store the club.

The graphite shaft helps keep swing tempo smooth, aiding rhythm and control across mixed lies.

From the tee or the fairway, the 19° 5-wood can supplement your bag with reliable distance without demanding a perfect strike. The combination of the wrap-around face and heel weighting contributes to a confidence-inspiring setup, encouraging a balanced swing that can translate into cleaner contact and a consistent trajectory.

Consider this model as a thoughtful addition for players who want a left-handed, regular-flex option that blends distance with forgiveness. While outcomes depend on individual swing, and no club can guarantee results, the Escape HL design emphasizes practical versatility and approachable performance on a variety of courses.
