What happens if irons are too short?
What Happens When Golf Clubs Are Too Short? For most golfers, having clubs that are too short will be better than if they're too long, but can still result in inconsistent shots.

Do shorter golfers need shorter clubs?
Shorter golfers are often better served with shorter clubs, while the lie angle (how the club sits on the ground) may also need tweaking. If your clubs are too long and/or upright, you'll be forced to adjust away from a swing that's natural for you.

Has anyone tried these as a cheap entry into SL? I’m intrigued, but can find almost no feedback across several forums.
Feedback
I have not, but Orlimar WAS a big name in equipment, at 1 time. I think I'm gonna try Giga Golf's, if I try any. Affordable and I've had good luck in the past with their equipment.

The Orlimars may very well be fine, but I think you can still find new or near new cobra f7 OL sets for near the same price and there is plenty of info out there about those
Feedback
My league playing partner bought the Orlimar Interceptor's last year. He was leaning towards the Cobra single lengths but didn't want to spend the money in case they didn't work out. He picked up the Orlimar's for $225. Anyways..... after 2-3 rounds he was convinced he made the right choice. They are a very solid set that has consistent gaps.
