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.

[@andimcgaw]

I'll take the mini driver off you, if you won't use it...

[@gr4303]

Rick I have the Mizuno STZ 220 driver and thought of going to the 230. Actually heard some bad reviews about it. Could you review that driver. Or I’ll be your guest 😂 and send it my way pal

[@gr4303]

Rick what do you do with those clubs that you don’t in box ha ha. Do you send back to manufacturer

[@coachhogue3669]

In a 22 minute video there were 6, yes 6, different ad break interruptions. One is fine, two is manageable, six is unwatchable. I have followed for a long time and I love the content Rick, but I will not continue to do so if I have to sit through ad interruptions every 3 minutes. That’s ridiculous mate.

[@brianlouis1967]

My level of envy is so high when I see Rick hitting my dream Mizuno irons that I don't want to spend the money, but he has them sent to him for free without even opening them. Beautiful clubs.

[@WilliamTaylor-io7ms]

Then he does open them they splatter all over the floor!! 😂

[@robertflint4115]

Rick pretending like he doesn’t know what’s in the boxes when he darn well knows there’s golf clubs in there. 🤣. Rock on Rick 🤘😎

[@jota1001000]

You only live once brother go get them!!!

[@grandadbrian9132]

I’ve invested in a set outstandin

[@PiroCzech]

Keep them 5 years, think about it as an investment in your mental health for the next 5!

[@Idesofmarch89]

Would love to see the Greenwood putter reviewed, genuinely intrigued by your impressions and opinion of a wooden putter. Thanks for all you do!

[@joepugliese6598]

I got those Wilson launch pad irons back in February. Absolutely love them. So easy to hit! Would love to see a full review on them!

[@ultimatejay]

Finch did a review a long time ago and he said they were the easiest irons to hit.

[@Reffitt2]

It kills me that Rick finds boxes of clubs that he's forgotten about, and I can't even save the money to buy a decent set of irons! I'm so disgustedly jealous!

[@zo25]

Those Mizuno irons are something else... Congratulations on the new channel and more success to come, Rick!

[@knightriderkitt3000]

I can’t help but wonder what the Manufacturers think when a video like this comes out. Like Mizuno sent him a near full set of clubs and they just sat in a box.

[@mikethewhizz5085]

I think Callaway sending the Paradym irons only for them to be forgotten about might be well deserved. Those irons seem so underwhelming to me and many of the other golfers I've talked to

[@jgrywacheski]

Manufacturers' marketing teams send out sets of clubs to all the well known reviewers knowing they are competing with every other manufacturer. They send them hoping to have their equipment reviewed but not expecting it.

[@chadhowell1328]

@@jgrywacheskiexactly. They technically can’t buy favorable reviews or reviews at all. They can sponsor stuff but those are not technically reviews

[@CPS_89]

They don’t pay or ask him to review them, they send them hoping he will, it’s cheap marketing for them, he’s got no obligation to actually do it.

[@jpxst180s6]

Don’t know what this video was about , seriously 😒 just ran out of material to video for a week

[@matthewwhite2955]

Love the video. Would def love to see some more in-depth review on the 64. Think it might really help players who struggle around the greens, especially ones who dont spin it well. I think the high loft will offer better stopping power

[@mattwaters1239]

Those Mizunos are the purest looking irons on the market today. They don't use the strengthened lofts to try and market that they go further; they just feel and perform beautifully. Would love to see them get fully reviewed.

[@ForzaOwnz]

You do know that lofts are based around launch angle right? So the more 'help' it has in the club the higher it usually launches. In order to combat that they lower the loft

[@PolloDiablo316]

I can't wait to see the Wilson and Callaway reviews. Your Adams review was amazing and makes me want to look into at least the irons as I am very happy with my Cobra woods

[@rosscor8398]

You should do a break 65 between you and guy, using those high launch irons, that crazy putter, the 64 degree wedge, and some other random clubs

[@TPW13]

yeah i love those videos with random weird clubs

[@rosscor8398]

@TPW13 me as well, they are usually my favorite

[@BugattiDane]

Rick : *casually rummages through $10,000+ worth of brand new golf clubs*

[@jbcobbiii9661]

I did a driver fitting and it came down to the BRNR Mini and the Titleist TRS 2. Titleist was longer, but total dispersion on the mini driver was 19 yards total. It was amazing.

[@curtisvincent4104]

Good stuff Rick. Further detailed review of some of that equipment would be cool. That wooden putter could be interesting to see perform. Plus seeing that 64* wedge on the course in action would be very interesting to me.

[@the.otis.burger617]

I love these “I’ve-had-them-but-never-tried-them” videos!

[@edwardleith8209]

Additional note: I tried the mini burner and love it but I couldn't justify spending $700 (Brit living in Canada) but I found it was really helpful getting back into driver as I've tried high lofted bigger drivers and they go the same distance as my 3 wood... it was a better option that trying to whack a bigger head! You're never opened boxes are my regular set and would love to own!! Absolutely kill for the Burner.

[@bradyplusfours]

I’ll be honest I love these videos above all others. Has to be the anticipation. I remember watching Rick in his home sim doing the same and it was great to go along for the ride. Thanks Rick !👍🏼

[@christopherwilliams3190]

I would love to see the Wilsons and the Mizunos reviewed. As always, some great stuff coming from Rick.

[@JordanSM1997]

The reason I switched to the Taylormade burner from my actual driver is for consistency. Able to find so many more fairways

[@nathanandrewcoleclough4269]

Hi Rick, a 27 handicapper here, I tried a Wilson LP 7 at the driving range, loved it. When I've got a bit of spare cash hoping to go and properly try a set with a view to purchasing them. Would love a review in the meantime! Very easy iron to hit!

[@fraserdavidson278]

Mizuno Pro 225 owner here…so glad to see these on the channel albeit briefly. I had some old T-Zoids from the late 1990s and always loved how they felt. Tried out a bunch of different irons last year and wasn’t surprised to end up back with Mizuno. Great distance and feel.

[@ussher7739]

Been a Mizuno addict for over 25 years, currently running a set of MP-67’s with an MX500 driver and F50 woods. I’m definitely due an upgrade to something a bit more up to date and would love to get you thoughts on both the Iron sets and driver. 👌

[@jimpaluski7668]

I went from playing Ping G425 over to the Mizuno Pro 225. They have been the best change in my game i have had. I have been sticking shots more than ever by far and have already shaved some points off the handicap. You need to get a fitting for them because they are special. But also keep in mind their new irons are coming out in the next month or so. So that will lower cost of these as well as possibly have you lean towards the new pro series instead.

[@ericalvis2231]

Love to see all the progress brother! Also the expansion in your content has been amazing to watch! I got into golf around 6 years ago and have leaned heavily on your content in my journey! Keep it up and thanks for all the helpful and entertaining content!

[@RickShielsPGA]

That is awesome!

[@paulcrookes1909]

Quite envious of the studio cos only dream of having an indoor simulator but must be so good to receive these clubs and be able to do stuff like this

[@user-yf9be4ec7b]

I started watching your KZbin for club reviews and hooked. Love to see you back in reviews. Thanks.

[@edwardleith8209]

I've been using the Wilson Launch Pads for 2 years and they have really helped my game confidence!! Amazing clubs but lots of noise in the bag. Lots of clinking

[@SteveyHawk]

I got fitted for the Mizuno Pro 225 irons and they are very nice to hit! Being a 21 handicap they are massively helping me bring that down, highly recommended them!

[@grantschoeck]

Love watching your channel, you're a big part of the reason I got into golf. Been playing seriously for 3 months now and this coming weekend I am making another stab at my goal of breaking 100!

[@RickShielsPGA]

Glad to hear it

[@phillipwhite9788]

A friend worked summers doing Demo days for Wilson and he had tons delivered to his house

[@jpalandri36]

I have the BRNR and to me, it's aim small & miss small. I lost maybe 5 yds from my Cobra SZ and with the weight forward and loft down still have hit greens at ~340. Much easier to control and a better shape. Same approach as bladed irons to me honestly. They don't have any advantage really anymore but the mental side helps some so much. (Plus no driver face restrictions on it)

[@AndHesGone99]

Rick you are a legend! I seen your videos on Facebook and it made me want to play, I have been playing for a couple of months now and am loving it even tho it can be quiet frustrating 😂 thank you

[@withakay5371]

Let's get Stacked Golf going through Rick's mail room. The real crossover for which everyone is clamoring.

[@paulmoore1559]

For me definitely the trio of Mizuno irons, I currently play the 225's and love them, for me play much better than my previous 2019 P790's. Your full review would be very welcome

[@stephendorrity4227]

I currently play with Wilson d7s and love them but I can't get any joy out of anything lower than 7 iron since a major operation. I can't wait to see the review on the Wilson launchpad irons. Especially the 3,4,5,6 irons as I am looking to treat myself to a set as a reward for bouncing back from stage III lung cancer. I want to also thank not just you but all the other you tube golfers for keeping me sane over the last 2 years it has really geed me up to recovery. 3 months after the op I couldn't swing a club and was doing 18 holes with a Chipper and putter. Glad to say I can now walk 18 holes if it's not too hilly and I am back playing. I am halfway through a 3 year Targeted therepy course now after having my lower left lung removed and with the exception of the odd niggling injury I have been back playing for a year now. Just wanted to ask if you could use the lower irons in the review as I want to know how easy these are too hit. Finally I just want to thank you guys for keeping me entertained when I was at my worst. I have now been clear of cancer for 18 months just wanted to say thank you.

[@MrLeprechaun21]

After having to sell all my golf clubs and stuff to afford medical tests, this just breaks my heart to know clubs could be out there used by people but instead just sit in a corner unused

[@LEXuk]

Another great video! Look forward to seeing the more in-depth reviews on the H.I.T channel, Those Mizuno irons look beautiful! Can't wait 👍

[@hvi1981]

Would love to see an honest review of the Wilson LP irons. I put the 4 hybrid of the same series into my bag this year, after an impulse purchase (not even tried it beforehand), and it was almost perfect for me from the first shot. The only thing i missed was a bit more distance, which i guess is a result of the very high launch. So I bought an ex demo 3 hybrid LP which is now a permanent club in my bag, taking the job as a 4 iron replacement. I love it.

[@robertnadal9295]

Thanks for another great video. I would love to see full reviews for the Greeenwood and the Skylob. I would also like to see you review the putters and irons from AR Golf.

[@scottbrandon4855]

I would love the 225 review. I got them this season and I love them. Great content Rick. As a kid I was used to “hand me downs” so if you need somewhere to dump your surplus I would happily assist😊👍

[@tomashmore4128]

I have the Brnr mini driver in the bag and I agree its a 3 wood replacement thats what I use it as and I love it

[@matleblanc3848]

Love this video. I'm Canadian and I play Mizuno clubs (left handed) so I would love to see separate videos for the Driver and Irons and of course the wooden putter from Canada. Thanks

[@shootembillards2006]

RICK!! I love your videos. I just got into golf 11 weeks ago and I'm addicted. Watching your videos makes me want to play every day. I'm going to watch your full review and I hope you post where we could get the clubs.

[@neiltaylor1765]

Mini Driver - absolutely love it, have the 13.5 set at 15.5, it's a good 3 wood off the deck but even better off the tee

[@richardlochner5293]

Found you on youtube while watching Bob does Sports. Love the reviews, you and them boys got me back into golf. Couldn't afford new irons so went thrifting. Got a full set of some old Tommy Armour 845 irons, callaway hybrid 4, and an older Taylormade RBZ driver. Its been fun, missed golfing.

[@PaulS954]

Fun video! I would love to see a full review on the Mizuno driver and fairway woods and where you think they sit compared to the bigger brands. Thanks Rick!

[@ryandolan1149]

Love to see a review of thw 225 irons, always thought mizunos were a reach for me but you comparing them to the p790 has me intrigued and they are beautiful

[@aidenstam3035]

Yeah, Mizuno review! I’d love to see that, the mp-20 hmb irons are amazing, have had them in the bag for almost a year, absolutely love them

[@mikenewberry6232]

Would love to see reviews for all, but mostly the putter and the wedge. Great work as usual Rick!

[@PurjoProductions]

I have been waiting for you to do a review on the Wilson LP2 for some time now! I hope it comes soon 😊. Keep up the awesome work! And thanks for keeping the interest up during the small kids years.

[@MrChrissWilliams]

Would love a full test of the greenwood putter vs the Bradley wooden putter you received.

[@stevenszyper3916]

I have the original LP irons and love them. My playing partners don't like them but it makes playing so much easier for this 9 handicap golfer.... Would love to see you do a full review on the LP2 irons

[@shannonsanders5250]

The Mizuno 225’s where pete finch’s choice for mid handicapper’s last year. I took his advice and absolutely love them, lots of help in the mid iron but less in the scoring irons, this gives them incredible feel. I was coming from a Miura game improvement iron…the 225’s won out on feel and 10 yards on the scoring irons ! I just got fit today for a mini driver…hated it !! Ended up my gear was as good as any new stuff so paid a driver eval fee and me and my sore back are happy , I am cutting off my driver a half inch 44.5 … way better control with hardly any loss of distance.

[@PunchbagMTB]

I am a huge Calaway fan and have been waiting for a decent review on the Paradym X irons whilst also waiting for the price to reduce in my local AG. Keep up the great work 👍

[@Zachary_Bird]

Awesome stuff Rick, would love to see that wooden putter in action I imagine it feels amazing. Would love to see you do a break 75 with those forgiving irons too, see if you can shoot a really low score with some clubs you wouldn’t normally use (not the best looking)

[@gary89darlo]

Please do full HIT reviews on the Greenwood putter & the callaway irons. So jealous of the golf "presents" would be nice to come home to misc boxes of golfing gear. Love the he vids. All the best.

[@chrispotter6847]

Loved the unboxing review Rick, was like watching someone at Christmas where it was our surprise too 😊. Would like to see the mizunos compared to the new titleist irons you reviewed recently. Thanks for the entertainment, more please

[@kennethonell7497]

This was really entertaining. I am curious about the Greenwood wood putter. Even if it performed well, how long do you think it would last before multiple long range putts started to misshape the face? I’d love to see a full review on this, including an opinion on durability. Thanks.

[@old_dog9953]

Yes please the Wilson irons. I got fitted comparing their last year's model with the Cleveland Halo XL's and chose the Clevelands, but these new Wilson look similar and maybe even more in that forgiving hollow back hybrid iron mix.

[@maalekar]

I've been playing the callaway paradym x for the whole season. Love them. forgiving, yet workable. Really like them..

[@MrJohnbird123]

Rick I have the Skylob wedge 64 degrees loft and the 70 degrees lie angle in my golf bag and I love it. Would be nice to see you testing it on the golf course!

[@brianwright4528]

Great stuff. Would love too see the full Mizuno irons set reviews. The 225s look gorgeous for a forgiving iron.

[@JapriAjmi718]

Been using those 225’s for a year now, absolutely amazing, great feel, amazing looks. Just overall the best clubs I’ve tried in the past few years

[@16pennynails]

All the irons are interesting but when Rick dumped a bunch of Mizuno irons on the floor I knew what I liked most! All three mizzy's, out on the grass, maybe all the irons like those Callaway's, those fat soled Wilsons. I'm interested in how these all really perform in realistic conditions, especially those Mizunos. Turf interaction, very important!

[@clannkymcgigers5275]

I would love to see a review on the mini driver as i am looking at getting one myself. Also love ur content rick ur content was what got me to love golf again and pick up the bag again. Thank you

[@ryanhorner1675]

This video reminds me of reviews you used to do, where they include first looks & initial opinions. Enjoyed 👍

[@gregquinny2k]

Imagine getting sent so much free Golf shizzle that you can't even be arsed to open it lol....!?!? Ricardo living the dream haha, fair play lad :))

[@mr.babycolonte7190]

Speaking on that Taylormade BRNR...it was the opposite for me. I had a PING and for me because it looked like a balloon I felt that me clubbing the ground was definitely going to happen and because of that it was harder to feel feedback. I switch to the Taylormade Sim2 (once they got cheaper) and immediately noticed that it was smaller and more slick looking. And I was more confident in Not sweeping into the ground and now I'm hitting my drives cleaner,straighter and longer than I did my PING...

[@stevenvandenbroeck8920]

🇨🇦 love the unboxing video, absolutely review that greenwood putter, Would love to see a comparison of those Wilson launchpad irons vs the 2023 cobra trails. Would also love to see comparison of the paradym, stealth2 and Aerojet irons!

[@CJTechnics]

@ 16:48 "Kinda love this bit of fur..." 🤣

[@timothybevis6095]

I can remember you hitting the ceiling in your garage with the club. If memory serves me you opened some boxes then to. I happen to like your HIT channel and can't wait to see more testing. Thanks Rick

[@nickjones7824]

Mini drivers are great for short sets! Combine your regular D-stick and 3w into the Mini and eliminate clubs. Bag set up: Mini/Hyb/4/6/8/P/56*/Putter

[@brad8204]

Subscribed and looking forward to full reviews Rick

[@HillbillyJedi88]

Full review, all clubs. Especially the wood putter. That looks cool!

[@chr970]

I never had a Christmas morning like this....but was fun watching.

[@bluetoughguy]

Fun video! Definitely some clubs I would love to see on HIT!

[@christopherjohnson414]

Love to see a video of an arrangement of these clubs on the course!

[@d50player]

Love your family of channels, Rick! The Wilson Launch Pad irons piqued my interest for a full review.

[@corygucwa7098]

Love the video and love the HIT channel, thanks Rick

[@jakepoulsen3952]

I want to see full reviews on the Wilson launch irons! As well as the wooden putter!

[@benbarratt570]

I think the BRNR mini driver can really help a good number of golfers that, like me, love our hybrids but can’t hit driver with any consistency whatsoever - just feels so big and cumbersome and a 3 wood is just way too ‘twitchy’. BRNR mini strikes a great balance of size and stability. Love mine and if anything happened to it would buy another in an instant - actually want to try the lower lofted one now!

[@craigogrady5077]

Love the h.i.t. Channel, when you opened up the Mizuno driver box made me think of the ball I just switched to. I was a huge PV1 guy. Wouldn’t hit anything else, but I hit the new Mizuno RB Tour and I feel a little guilt but I’m not switching back. I would love to see you test them. 😊

[@Helluva_editor]

Would love to see the Callaway again. Those look phenomenal!

[@christianlloyd4373]

Wow them Wilson’s irons are right up my street love them. Please do a full review. Great content again.

[@milto6684]

AMAZING Rick!!!! Such a lucky fellah! In my order of preference, id love to see reviews on: 1. 64deg wedge 2. Putter (timber) 3. Wilson Launch Pad 4. Callaway Irons 5. The rest >< Keep up the outstanding reviews, vids and podcasts!!

[@MrGumstar]

Great video. absolutely beautiful those Mizuno's. 225 right up my ally

[@assertivemultimedia]

Hey Rick enjoying your channel. I picked up the game at 55 years old and have become a FREAKIN FANATIC LOL Your videos have helped my game and I actually won the 1st tournament I ever entered.

[@mf0u3021]

Love my mini driver. But I definitely see it as more of a Jumbo 3-wood. Smaller head makes me feel like I can get more club head speed with less drag through the air.

[@RichardEngle-pu3fz]

Loved it. Must review the hybrid irons.😊

[@richardebben3712]

Cool video. As mentioned previously reactions, I'm wondering what the manufacturers think about the unopened boxes, but I liked the video. At the moment I'm in the market for new irons, so I would like to see a review of all the iron sets and quite curious about the "hybrid" Wilson irons.

[@douggustafson1325]

I have the Mizuno Pro 225s and they are soooo nice!! Love the unboxing vid👍

[@benjaminchapman774]

Yes. Please review all these clubs. I feel like I learn a lot from your reviews and I can’t get enough of them. Just my two cents.

[@kencalvert4714]

Full reviews of everything!! That putter looks so interesting though.

[@niteninja0133]

Love the unboxing, liked the last one you did in the old simulator. I'd like to see a review on all of it

[@jcoleman924]

Really interested in seeing those wilson hybrid irons in a full review. Especially from a player like you.

[@gregwestfall9578]

I switched from the P790's to the Mizuno 223's. I love the feel of the Mizuno irons over the Taylormade irons. I was a Taylormade guy for years and switched this year to Mizuno. My 7 iron carries 180-185 yards with the new irons. Its a shame you didn't review those earlier. The new Mizuno line will be coming out later this year or early next year.

[@chriskubond6314]

Love these kind of videos

[@jonathanstamp4695]

Looking forward to the callaway Irons as I’ve just had a fitting and be getting them! Can’t wait to hear what you think of them. Also like a wilson review

[@TripsView]

Found a yes putter. Tracy II. Bought if for 40 dollars because of all the great things you had said about them. I gotta say they do have a great feel.

[@suculus192]

Hi Rick, a big thank you from a French fan. We do appreciate your videos and all the family is with me to tell you we are waiting for next one.

[@Chas-man33]

I’ve asked on other videos for a full review of the Paradym irons. Looking forward to it.

[@jamesregan7409]

That Rawhide Golf headcover on the Greenwood putter looks awesome! I really think you should review that putter. Wood putters have an incredible feel!

[@King_Of_Paintsville]

What a dream job that Rick has! Never take it for granted!
