Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This KZbin channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!

Absolutely. It should then either hang on the wall in the Podcast studio / HIT Studio. Or, maybe it can be auctioned off for charity.

The montage should just be him topping it on a loop lol. The views would be incredible

[@aaronwise4944]

It isn’t he needs to take his medicine some holes. When he’s 250 out and he thinks he’s going to fly it to the hole instead of taking that 150 shot and an easy 3rd shot. It’s when he thinks he can reach it he ends up burning himself.

[@Captainchaos14]

he honestly needs to get rid of half those clubs and try again. they aren’t forgiving in the slightest

[@terrellkoenig3790]

I love when you guys talk crap and a three wood he hits 250 can barely make 190 cause the wind and he’s 4 over with 3 left. You’re kidding yourself if these clubs didn’t perform amazingly.

[@richardcalhoun5946]

Rick facing a severe downhill lie on the fringe from 40 feet on the first hole with putter in hand, "I see no reason for backspin or a quick stop." Blows it ten feet past the hole. Never change Rick Shiels, never change... I almost cried laughing.

[@bl0wm1nd]

😂😂😂 ffs

[@A1BASE]

I'd probably play a putter too. Would a super spinney chip have a better result? Maybe. If you're really confident in the lie and your skill. But I'm not that good at chipping to do it reliably... and neither is Rick. The downside of that shot is that you skull it past the green. It was 100% the right shot for his skillset.

[@jeremyringma]

@@A1BASE agreed, putter was still a smart play here. It actually stopped pretty close for a short sided shot.

[@alaingSEO]

@@A1BASE You're not spinning a 3 yard carry out of thick rough lol

[@bruhnvh]

Putter was the right call, though he did put too much on it. Very difficult putt to have to attempt, for sure, but I'm not sure how anyone not named Phil looks at that and thinks they can stop a wedge.

[@peterodonnell3399]

It is fun watching you when you refuse to give up and don’t get mad. Keep it up Rick

[@jeremyringma]

I took notes. That driver got you in trouble on 5 holes (twice on the quad hole), but is didn't see any instances where the extra 10-20 yeards gained a shot. You also short sided yourself from bad shots 3 times resulting in a dropped shot and underclubbed 2-3 times resulting in a dropped shot but the wind wasn't helping here. Get a driver you can hit and make some better course management choices and you'll break 75 easily. Hole 1 Bogey from short siding after thinning approach shot Hole 2 Bogey from failing to up and down after short sided Hole 3 Par save after wayward tee shot Hole 4 Par after missing 10ft birdie put Hole 5 Up and down for par Hole 6 Quad. OB drive, 3rd shot into fairway bunker (should have hit 3 wood off tee) which fell too short for realistic up and down Hole 7 Lucky birdie after 2nd should have run well through green Hole 8 Green in reg, birdie 15ft putt Hole 9 Par. Missed 10ft birdie putt Hole 10 Birdie! Green in reg. long putt Hole 11 Bogey stemming from errant drive Hole 12 Underclubbed tee shot leaving 20 yards short in bunker. Lucky GUR to up and down for par Hole 13 Par. On for 3 missed long birdie putt Hole 14 Par - should have birdied. Thinned approach shot with tail wind running through the green (landing short correct play) Hole 15 Bogey stemming from wayward drive Hole 16 Bogey. Wrong club from strong wind, chip landed short, failed up and down Hole 17 Birdie after green in reg Hole 18 Errant drive - missed birdie chance

[@robertcourt8593]

[@robertfudge985]

I recall when he and Peter Finch were both relating to each other what clubs they were changing to. Peter said the Ping. When Rick said the Dark Speed, you could see in Peter's face that he wanted to blurt out, "Are you friggin' kidding me???"

[@Lil-ik3kh]

I don't get why he always uses the least forgiving driver he can get his hands on when he's that bad off the tee

[@jakeleighton2518]

Should do a series where someone takes you out and talks you through course management. Feel like it would massively help pre open qualifying. Just bombing driving every hole doesn’t seem to work all that well atm.

[@ronanmcgann430]

Rick should team up with Arccos, always seems like he misjudges how far he hits it, or how much the wind affects shots - helped me a ton when I started using it

Leave the lob wedge in the bag and start pitching and chipping with your PW or 9i. I've seen you flub way too many wedges.

[@ashleywassall4049]

💯 Shot my best round the other day hitting every chip with PW - and that isn’t uncommon for me, both in terms of the principle and the outcome (love an up and down!). If you need to get over a bunker or other obstacle sometimes you need the loft, otherwise for most players the risks far outweigh their skill.

"I'm looking for more distance this year" - why Rick? It's obvious the issues in your game right now are chipping and consistency off the tee. It's painful watching you constantly struggle, fall way behind the ability level of other youtubers around you and then say your investing time into finding 20 yards in your drives... WHY?!?

[@Daniel189HLL]

His clubbing is often miles away too.

His chipping and putting is so poor. If he could chip and putt like an average 3 handicap, he might get close to scratch level.

[@Pud56]

@@davidgraham8058he putts okay, considering how long the lag putts he needs to make are, never really hits it close

[@andrewwoodward8810]

100% right - more consistent straight hitting and a sharper short game is where so many strokes can be saved in Rick's game - distance isn't the issue.

[@huntgolfshop]

I was going to say your driver was what let you down. I’m glad you realize that. I think the irons and putter are a great choices for you. Good video.👍

[@bobwilkinson6828]

Yep, let's blame the club rather than the fact that like all of us when he tries to swing fast he loses control. A drive 10-20 yards shorter which is on the fairway is far more beneficial that bombing one out of bounds. I started watching Rick for his coaching and tips but it seems now he needs to watch some of his own early videos.

[@GralphW]

Now that's proper golf - a great links course, scraggy rough, wind and rain. Perfect. Credit to you Rick for reminding us that even good golfers (yes, that's you!) struggle in adverse conditions - but the love of the game is still there! BTW grab the Wilson woods - you won't regret it.

[@Olivia-nc4wh]

[@GralphW]

@@Olivia-nc4wh Sure. The real joy for me in golf is the contest between yourself and the course with nature's elements.

Honestly. I hate to see you with the Cobra Darkspeed. I dont remember a single break 75 with the Cobra driver ever beeing good. I love to see you golf. But the Cobra just isnt for you (when looking at the evidence of holes with the driver. I think it would be so mutch better for you to use a driver that has loads of spins who helps you find the fairways more. Again who am I to say sutch things, I am just a fan.

[@Daniel189HLL]

So true

[@briarmeadow]

A myriad of changes to the bag and to you. New irons, new 3 wood, new putter, new putter grip, swing change. This should be interesting. The Wilson Staff CB irons are handsome for sure. Waaay back in the day when I first started playing i borrowed my dads Wilson Staffs (MB's). I showed up to a group lesson and the pro walked by, saw them, smiled and said, "These aren't yours are they?" LOL I see beautiful clubs, like these, and am tempted to go in for a fitting and assemble a dream set of clubs; Woods, irons, wedges, putter, bag.

[@kennethbnorris]

Respect for showing hole #6. I feel like there’s a couple major KZbin golf channels that take quite a bit of liberty with their lies, drops, and mishits (not naming names). I’m a bit of a Ping fan, so this may be a bit biased, but I think a couple of Ping clubs might be the answer for you. 1. The 10k max. Finch seems to love it. 2. Don’t laugh, but a Chipr might do you a world of good. You’ve got a lot of confidence with your putting off of the green, and the Chipr gives you more of a putting feel with just enough loft to get you over some rough areas. However, I know ego keeps the Chipr out of many bags, much like people choosing MBs when CBs might help them more. Regardless, I’m a terrible golfer anyways, so my opinion means nothing lol 😂 Always enjoy your videos Rick, keep up the great content!

Great video Rick, regarding the 3 wood situation. I was the same as you in struggling a little to get consistently so I trialed out the Ping Max 5 wood with a 3 woods shaft, didn't sacrifice much distance off the tee and much easier to hit off the fairway. Never looked back, love that club now.

[@Lamster66]

Funny enough I only started playing last year I didn't want to go all in on a new set of clubs just in case. So I bought second hand clubs. One club I bought is a second hand Taylormade Jetspeed 3HL wood (17degree) have to say, It's a cheating stick off the fairway It goes nearly as far as my driver. (which might be because my Driver Only goes about as far as a good player can hit a 3 iron).

Come on Rick! As a pro golfer you know only too well that any MB's have to be struck out of the middle. Anything other than the middle and it aint gonna end well. Sure they look good, but you need either MC's or perhaps some hollow heads. Forgiveness is what you need, you rarely hit the middle. The 3 wood makes sense, Max. The driver makes no sense at all. Forget a Low Spin head get a Ping 10k in with a low spin shaft. It works for Pete. Your problem is you aint a scratch golfer now you are going to need help. It gives me no pleasure to say all this.

@@stabilis8895 he broke 60 at Augusta, and Bay Hill. I’d say he is darned decent.

Having recently watched Bryson DeChambeau playing with "a Kids Starter Set" and also his "3 club challenge" against yourself. Reminded me of what an old pro said to me over 30 years ago when I was thinking of spending a lot of money on new clubs. "You do know that that little white ball, has absolutely no idea what your about to hit it up the backside with, don't you"

[@willy5342952349855]

21:00 that improved chipping demonstrated 😂

[@malthuswasright]

He seems to have forgotten everything he learned in that Dan Grieve lesson.

[@kenbrown2808]

it's nice to be on holiday and be able to watch a break 75 when it drops.

[@timherweyer19226]

You reviewed dark speed as least consistent. Why did you go with it? I figured it be ping g430 or Qi10

[@TG-mt6ke]

Great club selection apart from that driver for me. I'd try out the ping max , same as your 3 wood as going by others trying it it's VERY forgiven and u get plenty distance from it unlike the previous 2 max models

[@nate3721]

I was think they were bad choices. The clubs r good but there r much better options

[@sebchambers12]

Hes had problems with the driver for a while, inconsistent with the darkspeed for sure

[@tomtempinski2781]

Agree, the10k Ping might be a good choice. I would love to know what your fairways hit stat is.

[@gtfan998]

Rick. Get the Ping 10k in the bag. Super forgiving and manages spin very well for higher club head speeds

[@Lawry200]

I honestly love Rick and the channel is amazing but watching Rick play is like watching Utd

[@jamiecook7926]

All the gear, but no idea.

[@GolfAppetite]

I am loving the look of the new Wilson’s.

[@isaiahnunnally645]

Try the TSR drivers from Titlelist. More speed, same accuracy.

[@TPW13]

21:00 mate i did the exact same thing today so watching that makes me feel ALOT better haha.. it was my best round ever though

[@lawbinson]

I think we need to see what happens if Rick committed 6 months to a full set of fitted Ping G430 Max’s with some Cleveland CBX wedges. Is it truth or myth that better players play worse with them?

[@samgavin1101]

Rick have been watching you for years now & one thing I realise is you make things very difficult for yourself. Shorter par 4s not needing to hit driver hit irons instead & keep it in play! The quad hole a great example! All the best bud love the videos 👌🏽

[@chrispeters1258]

Thought exactly the same thing. Course management

[@TheRoad2Scratch]

So true, I feel like he sees the birdie sauce animations while he is on the tee and then ends up hitting a bad shot and always trying to catch up from there making more silly shot choices.

[@nelsonashkewe7461]

Instead of increasing your swing speed for longer distance we need to focus on hitting the ball straight down the fairway and avoiding trouble. Course management so important one would think.

[@calebwalton618]

Love the videos. Please do a review on the Wilson Dynapower Driver!

[@-chaquetaamarilla-7400]

He did last year

[@bobbo857]

id love to see you in a callaway AI Smoke triple diamond MAX driver. that or a TSR 2 or TSR 3. There is a bit of forgiveness in all of those with a lower spin setup (except for TSR 2 spin wise). Your ping was short as hell, you've never really got along with Taylormade, cobra has gone full bore into distance above all else and you sprayed that darkspeed LS left, right, and never center. Also, I love that on the hit channel you did a piece for the blueprint irons asking if blades are dead and now you have blades in you bag... golf is a funny game haha. You did, to that point, hit your irons beautifully and the putter was on point. Great vid Rick

[@leewalker6826]

I’ve always found it so weird that I can watch a video, see someone’s aim/line and say that it needs to be more left/right and be correct 80% of the time as a viewer. However on the course those reads turn to mud because it’s so hard to trust what you’ve read and it gets in the back of your mind and you push or pull, hit it short or long etc. I guess my point is (as someone who is NOT good at putting) is that it seems easy to read when you watch someone else do it but almost impossible trusting the read for yourself. We watch these videos and judge so much and the way they sometimes go probably make us feel a lot better about ourselves, but; we should all realise that this game is so difficult and watching and judging with no pressure is so much easier than even hitting a 5 footer with your friend, and, I love that it’s the same for everyone. Great video, thank you.

[@robertrenekerjr6819]

The snowman takes his revenge!!

[@milo4birdie]

would love to see a video where you discuss how you choose the specs and shafts of all your new clubs! thanks for the great content!

[@AceMRB]

As always, love the content. I really do think you need to switch drivers; I haven’t seen you hit that Darkspeed with any kind of consistency since you put it in the bag.

[@peterdray9921]

Quote from Linford Christie: It not the shoes, it’s the man.

[@abhi1205]

I was trying to think when have I seen Rick play a good game. All the tech and clubs... but

[@mikebravo3527]

Theres a video from about 3 years ago when he remembered how to play and stuck with what he knows, he shot a 72, since then hes yet to make an up and down or better a 95

[@bobwilkinson6828]

I agree. I started watching Rick years ago for his coaching and tips but it now seems he needs to watch his own early videos.

[@ThomasRich13]

I nearly stopped watching at the blow up snowman 8 hole, glad u stayed for some more though! What a bounce back

[@Lovetheducks]

I must say I love the sound the putter makes it’s like a clicking sound almost love it.

[@PullThePinProdsInc]

Dude just put up a 78 with a quad on his card, with new sticks and absolute shite weather. If you noticed, his cameramen were bundled up! Rick, Once you dial these in, you're gonna have a new series, Break 70!

I thought that £2000 putter was an April fool ? are you sure it wasnt ??

[@LoneStarCarper]

That’s what ping charges for the fitting

[@bobwilkinson6828]

Id take to that putter back. At £2000 for the fitting it left a lot of putts short 😅😅

[@courtenaymckee7491]

Maybe if you play off the ladies tees! 😛😅🤣🤣🤣

[@grahamfox7568]

I'm not hitting my woods well at all. I shot a 54 for 9 holes then left the woods at home and shot a 41 and 44 respectively in the next two 9 hole games using 6 iron (my longest iron) currently in the bag. Typically straight, straight, lob/pitch onto the green and one or two puts. I now think I should put 4/5 and maybe a driving iron into the bag for those days when the woods just don't cooperate. Build an arsenal of clubs rather than just your traditional setup.

[@grh6666]

The Ping Tyne putters are my favorite! One of these days ill get a custom PLD Milled one, for now I have the cheapo 2021 Tyne 4 model
