Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZbin channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
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!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

I like that Rick reviews cheap package sets more often than anything from major brands at this point

[@kevinwood1722]

I think it’s good he, and other KZbinrs, review cheaper brands but I have more interest in the top dollar stuff.

[@andrewmilner3371]

Because the major brands would get expensive

[@clerns]

I think most people know what to expect from the major brands at this point. I don't really need Rick to tell me that Taylormade or Titleist make good clubs. Plus a professional fitter would help sort out the finer details of what you're looking for if you want something premium better than he can. I think reviewing these cheap sets, and lesser known brands is more useful and informative content from Rick.

[@Garynash88]

As a 33 year old brand new to the sport of golf these reviews of cheap sets are what got me into it. Picked my self up a set of wilson Pro staff golf clubs last week and have been down the driving range every day and even braved the local par 5👌

[@CB-rv2lj]

he knows his crowd. rich pompous ego golfers aren't watching Rick Shiels. Just a bunch of lads who like golf and want to be the best they can be at a fun amateur level.

[@PTdoubleOT]

Sometimes you see these "package" sets that are like 600-700$ and you just absolutely know that the guy would've been better off going the used club route. With these, there's no way you can beat the value. They look nice, nothing's overly cheaply made. Good on Costco for furthering the accessibility of the game.

[@vasquezalfred]

Totally agree, I purchased my first set from a military Affees sporting goods store for just under $300.00 years ago around 2007, first time in everything for me with the game, an in-law showed me one time during an invite at a golf range. I picked it up naturally!! Anyhow the driver out shot 2 fellow soldiers pro drivers and they constantly play the game, one actually became irritated because he couldn’t believe it! lol I was just enjoying my accuracy on my landings, right where I locked my targeting with every swing lol My putting was dreadful lol

[@Pythonzzz]

I’m sure this is true, but as a beginner, it can be hard to know what used clubs are worth buying.

[@PTdoubleOT]

@@Pythonzzz I mean if they're allergic to the internet sure. But if they did a little research there are videos, lists, etc all over the place on what clubs are good value.

[@TheBathulk10]

I did get the set with work reward points and genuinely happy with them though

[@Barneyrubble241]

@@Pythonzzz As a beginner, you really can't go wrong with Ping G series irons. Obviously the older you go the cheaper they will be, but they are all good. If I were you, I would look for a good used set of Ping G400's. Get fitted at Edwin Watts for your proper lie angle as Ping irons are color coded. Black dot is standard and probably fit most average size guys, but if you are quite short or quite tall it will be different. I would also have your swing speed checked so you get the correct flex shaft. Wrong lie angle and/or flex will be huge disadvantages on the course. Just my 2 cents. I hope it helps.

[@code4dragon256]

Love living vicariously through Rick, especially with the Break75 series. Stage 4 cancer and a dozen or so abdominal surgeries hindered the turn on my swing a bit haha 😅. Keep it going RS and Guy as well 👍🏼

My dad retired from MacGregor in 1977 after 25 yrs. He worked in the custom grinds/finishing department with Howard Delaney and Jack Wolcotte. I've got about 50 different sets including 4 VIP drivers signed by Nicklaus, Weiskopf, Byron and Chi Chi. A 3wood signed by Bob Hope and several others that he obtained during his tenure.

[@CatWithTwoHeads]

as an intermediate golfer with a set or two, I still love these videos so that I know what to recommend for friends. I have given away a few sets, but these videos are great to pass along

[@daviddeking2676]

My very first set of clubs, at 12 years old, were a full set of MacGregor Tommy Armour Tourney Classics that my Dad purchased from the local pro shop for $50. Turned out to be a very collectible set that I played for years until I brought them in for regripping and the golf shop owner made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Thanks for a nice review of entry level set of clubs and bringing back memories of my own first set...

[@Twolves2005]

Outstanding craftsmanship in the those classics. I've acquired a few classic pro line macregors sets from the 1960s and they are just beauties to look at. For kicks, I take them out once inawhile and enjoy them.

[@danjeory3659]

Absolutely loving how Rick couldn't leave Trafford Golf Centre without making sure his name was in the Top 2 😂

[@tigerman1978]

My first set of clubs was a wilson box set at a similar price and the driver was the first club to be replaced for me as well. Next was adding on some proper wedges, before I replaced the wood and hybrid. It really is a good way to start playing and figuring out if you want to keep playing and to learn a bit more about what you want and need from equipment you have no experience with and no idea what to look for. Once you learn a few things, the 2nd hand market is so much less overwhelming to use as well. The ammount of golf clubs you can find out there thats barely used is quite large if you know where to look and for what to look for. Also, as you replace things from the box set you end up having a spare set of clubs for someone who wants to start playing, someone who just want to go hit some balles and havent brought their set or whatever. My original box set has recruited atleast 2 other players the sport after I gave it away to a colleague

[@nicknameunavailable809]

Just a reference point. A 1970 magazine had an ad for a McGregor golf set. Three woods and 8 irons for $99.95. Given inflation the Costco price holds up pretty well.

[@eddiekalista3222]

I think it’s important for package sets to have a clear upgrade path. As you progress your game, you’ll start with replacing the driver and hybrid, and the rest of the set will be more than adequate while you piecemeal a better set. That’s much better than the whole set being equally bad, so you feel like it’s not worth it unless you drop the wallet on a completely new set all at once.

[@xTRUExiNsANiTYx]

I think the clear path to upgrades from a package set like this is getting a driver, then wedges, then woods, putter, and if you’ve made it that far it’s probably time to get fit for some good irons.

[@nicwp7320]

i bought these for myself last week, played a cheeky 9 hole yesterday and i am well impressed especially the driver .. the first shot was a little off the toe and went a little right but not much as the older clubs i was using as forgiveness is really good. i am now hitting the ball straighter than ever. The irons feel nice and weighty and forgiving as well. i cant wait to get back out on a longer course to try the hybrids

[@alvagreemore]

Thanks for the review, and the enthusiasm you put into all the reviews you give.

[@peterfconley]

I’m enjoying these budget reviews more than the big name ones at the moment.

[@1911MAS]

RICK I am so glad I subscribed, I've watched at least a half dozen videos from you and I must say I'm hooked! Your review of the Costco club set was the most genuinely honest review I've ever seen and a great way to get new players not only interested but also to give them a reasonably good set of clubs to start with, I wish you had been around when I started. Bravo Sir!!

[@joshrea5839]

Great video. I currently have the Kirkland Wedges from Costco but I feel like its time to upgrade. I would LOVE a video where you explain bounce and grind, what they are used for, and how to selct the best wedge based on your game/playing conditions.

[@xBlade173]

Unless you're shooting for sub +5-7 handicap, those wedges are still great/excellent. Unless budget doesn't matter, then do whatever you want.

[@JimHaysTechGeek]

Love my Kirkland Wedges. Unless you are ready to pay $200 per wedge you can't beat the Kirklands.

[@okeesmokee6658]

I just wish he would have cut at least one of the clubs in half - like with the golf ball tests. I have actually wondered what the inside of a Driver really looks like - I imagine it is just a hollow cavity.

[@montegustafson5142]

The weakness in those packaged sets is usually the shaft and not the clubhead, especially for the driver, so I was somewhat surprised you were able to hit that driver with the whippy shaft! Otherwise that looks like a really good buy for a starter set.

[@scriptedPR]

That was my thought. Put a decent shaft in that driver and try again. I'm curious how it would perform.

[@Lamster66]

@@scriptedPR being realistic would the new shaft grip and the cost to do it exceed what you could buy a second hand driver off eBay for?

[@garydorrington2925]

rick its so good to see you test these clubs and give an honest opinion its also good to see that there are brands out there who are looking at entry golf and a good price, I still think you would favour the Calloway edge but for someone looking to begin playing these clubs offer fantastic value on the pocket

[@bobjoswick6075]

Great reviews and honest comments are helpful for every shopper. Thanks, Rick.

[@jonat6825]

I wonder how far you could hit the driver, Rick, if you swapped out the shaft for your own (if that were even possible). It would be interesting to know how much distance is lost from the head design compared to the shaft.

[@justingreen4450]

His Ping driver only carried 262.

[@chrismotes2215]

@@justingreen4450 He only had one swing at that though, after hitting a whippy shaft that he had to control to get any real distance.

[@mjonzy20]

I'd be really interested to see a comparison of a $250 full boxed set vs what you can get from globalgolf/2ndswing/golfbidder for the same price. What really is the best bang for the buck for a new golfer?

[@tigerman1978]

For a brand new golfer not knowing much about the eqipment, the 2nd hand market is kinda overwhelming. I know first hand as I tried it when I was new, but ended up just getting a box set. When it was time to make upgrades to the box set, I did use the 2nd hand market to replace my driver, wood and hybrid and also got an apex utility prototype for $20 from there a few years ago. The 2nd hand market I still pay attention to, cause you never know when something interesting pops up even though Im not currently in NEED of any equipment

[@benbenjapalakorn2592]

My first set of irons was Macgregor M85i. Very easy to hit with great distance. The best thing is once I accidentally broke the shaft of PW so I went to Golfsmith who owned the brand then. The sale rep asked if I snapped it intentionally and I said no. Then he said he was sorry that their product was mulfunctioned. So he went to the back of the store for may be 10 min and came back with new DG s200 shaft for free. This set served me fine for almost 10 years.

Have you ever thought about using a cheaper ball when testing sets for newer players? Typically, a newer player wouldn't be using a Pro V1. That may affect your view of the clubs.

[@porkstamina]

You aren't wrong, but since he normally plays with the V1s, keeping that ball eliminates a variable when testing these clubs. If he pairs this Costco set with some Pinnacle balls and the performance is lousy, is it the balls or is it the set?

I bought a similar set and first thing I replaced was the driver but still use the 5 wood that came with it. I upgraded to used 2-pw titleist set and regripped them but that 5 wood stays in my bag.

Boy that is true. A buddy started golf late last year and the first thing he did was change the driver out for a Ping 410 he bought used.

Even the driver isn't that bad if you think about it.

Took it back to the store they gave me a brand new 5 iron. That one folded also. Also snapped a 3 wood at the hosel. My friend showed me how to make clubs from the Golfsmith catalog(they went out of business a few years back). Never broke another club.

[@ralphtodhunter4109]

Great review as always Rick. Just one about the driver though; you didn’t mention that part of the reason you can’t get as much distance out of it is because the huge flex in the shaft, which is of course there so that beginner golfers who have a much slower swing speed than you can at least get some speed into the club head. Absolutely no doubt the materials are lower quality as well, but newbies don’t be too put off by the lack of distance Rick can get out of it, it’s suitable for you (for now) :)

[@Chrissmth]

I love that you consider the price. Like I’ll gladly spend $300 on my first set as a new golfer. The sets that cost over $500 are kinda daunting to me. Especially because I mostly play beer golf using my friend’s cheap clubs. Like I want my own set so I can practice and get good at it. But I don’t want expenses ones that I might break, or know how to use. Plus I don’t have money.

I am going to be in the category of a returning golfer. Not played around for five or six years, never bothered with a handicap that I used to shoot between 90 to 100 in a round average. Once or twice got into the high 80s. This looks like a real ideal set for me

I only started playing golf this year and this was the exact set I had brought. Since I got it, I had added a 3 iron from my late granddad's old set which still holds well, I have switched put my driver for a different one, a lob wedge was added very recently and the same day I am writing this. I decided to get a new bag, because of the bag kept twisting due to the part which folds out the legs

[@murrayspiffy2815]

When I started golf at age of 14 - I had the worst clubs you could own - a $49 set from Northwestern. I could shoot in the 80's with those clubs - but when I played with my friends -dad's - clubs - a set of Kenneth Smith's - I realized that clubs that matched your swing made all the difference. Looking at these MacGregor clubs from Costco - I would have died and gone to heaven playing such clubs as a teenager. I think that's whose these clubs are for - beginning golfers - but they get a huge amount of performance for the technology and price.

I bought a set of dunlop 551 from wallly mart 25 years ago, and having only played 5-6 times a year, and range time twice a month, they have held up well over time. re-entering the golf playing now, and my current level of do with an upgrade. any suggestions? currently shooting high 80s

Hi Rick ❤️ this channel lots I'm a beginner but I've loved golf since the early 70s watching all the greats on tellly etc

I would love to see you do a Break 75 with these clubs with both Guy and yourself using them!

[@stevecox8066]

Working at a golf course, I would love to see my boss get a few sets of these on the floor for sale. There are so many golfers who have no aspirations to justify two grand or more into their golf bag. This fits the bill and then some. Might even be great to replace a few of our rental sets getting a little long in the tooth. Thanks as always Rick!

The macgregor VFoil midded blades were the best clubs I ever owned. They took me from a 4 to a +2. I loved them. Then I got on a hype train, had some tragedy, lost a wife to cancer, stopped playing, came back and have never found a set of clubs as good as them. At one point macgregor was stellar.

My mate had a set of McGregor copper beryllium irons some 40 odd years ago, and absolutely loved them

Firstly I'd like to say as a new golfer I love your channel. I'm from Australia and I Finally I brought my first set of clubs recently and think they may be better than the Costco ones for around the same price. they are called PGF X6, maybe you could do a review on them

[@TWTexasA1]

The spin with those irons is crazy….way more than some of the top irons I’ve seen you demonstrate ✌🏼✌🏼

[@johnfred2689]

Really love these reviews, watch your vids for such a long time now. Haven't played in years due to multiple reasons need to get me a set and start playing again asap.😅

[@bobbrown5951]

Rick, nice review and honest as usual. I'm thinking maybe with such a low price a buyer could seek out a very good used driver and sell the one from the set. But for anyone who just does a couple of corporate scrambles a year and isn't hard core, this would be just fine and look half decent in the bag. I'm wondering where these would rank with the other package sets you've tested from Costco?

[@heritagejonery3879]

I think for absolute beginners there sets are a no brainer. But I also think maybe a half set, or reduced set with a bit better woods and Driver would be a good thing. I learnt with a half set as a junior and I think it was good, not only for learned to hit diffrent shots but also keeping the cost down.

[@CJL1567]

Thanks Rick. I am a new golfer and I have been looking into the Costco clubs. Can't seem to find them anywhere. I might just continue renting until I'm able to find these ones in store.

[@Luke-lt4yy]

Yes yes yes! Old school Rick Shiels club reviews 🙌 Oh how ive missed these

[@freshtendrills5969]

MacGregor is a legendary club maker. It's what Nicholas played with. Good to see them filling a ever larger void. Affordable golf equipment that's made with care.

[@barthwhittaker5422]

I appreciate you looking into package sets. Unfortunately I have 2 issues. There is not a Costco near me and also I don't think they are available in the US. I was wondering if you had some suggestions for someone getting back into golf for a package set. I've seen some from Strata and Wilson. Anything would be great. Thanks

[@jakeruiz7421]

They were started in Dayton, OH. That’s my hometown. Kinda cool!

[@Kimdk87]

A cheap set like this got me into golf. I played with it for 1½ years and it will always have a special place in my heart.

Great Review Rick - certainly very helpful
