Hey! I have released a FINAL few tickets for my live podcast.. Hope to see you there! thelowry.com/whats-on/the-rick-shiels-golf-show/

Congratulations! Love the videos! I wish you had texted that club out of heavy rough

[@seanscanlon9067]

Having reviewed the Square Strike wedge around two years ago, how do you think that they compare if you remember or still have it to re-test against this wedge club?

[@lukerogers4422]

Wish i could go but i live in Australia lol 😜

[@oqlthorp]

Rick's been saying "I'm not the greatest wedge player" for about 4 years now. Consistency is key.

[@jonny555ive]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@robertgray1756]

Yeah he consistently says it !!!! Lol.

[@2ndAveScents]

Why is this comment copy and pasted all over this video

[@J.RodFishing.]

Make it 6 years now

[@zacharyradford5552]

Tiger mentality.

[@daveduncan9005]

What would be interesting, for this type of video, is for Rick to grab a club member or random golfer to represent the 'average' duffer to see if it improves his/her chances of making better chips and pitches.

[@acidwizard6528]

Agreed. I take his reviews with a grain of salt as Rick is ten times better at golf than I am so his results with the clubs he tests will be vastly different from what an average player might experience. He should have an average level friend or guest for also test the clubs so the viewers get results from both a pro level player and an average player.

[@maxutd19]

perfect timing to release this after your chipping with Pete, Matt and Carter

[@tommullinerart]

that round was a bit of a mess from all of them lol - but it shows they're human after all

[@RickShielsPGA]

I might need to bag this the way I’ve been chipping recently 😆

[@aspartame17]

You should put the cutter wedge instead, less offensive looking and sounding, and you loved it in your review...

[@cddy507]

I'm definitely buying this for my buddy for his birthday. He's the kind of guy that would rather putt from 20 yards off the green than grab a wedge. He even uses a putter out of the bunker if there's no lip. Hopefully it helps his confidence out.

[@jasoncrittenden4746]

[@lajsrana]

When are u gonna get the milled grind 3s in

[@Dan_Kornfeld]

If the Dune wedge just isn’t working for you, it also doubles as a wheel chock to keep your golf cart from rolling away!

[@jamiecapes2644]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tariqmohamed]

what i did notice was that despite the distance control, the dispersion of your chips was very narrow, and as you mentioned, the accuracy. so once you get used to the weight of it and get a handle of the speed, it looks a lot closer to great than gimmick

[@jonny555ive]

Was thinking the same thing 👍👍

[@besticandogolf5901]

Agreed. That dispersion was fantastic. AND, with those super thin lies on the fringe it got up in the air quick and stopped on a dime. That’s pretty stinking intriguing.

[@free2roam674]

Rick hits the nail on the head at 6:11. Many of us are delighted to get the ball on the green, that is especially true of sand for me, but everyone I play with struggles with chipping/pitching and of course putting. Which all need practice to gauge weight/distance. But fewer chunks, blades and hacks would never be a bad thing. Cam

hit the ball, man! :-) every single shot was short, can't blame the club for that

Thinking the same thing. Blames club for distance control. Doesn't take a pga professional to realise you need to hit it further 🙄

[@charlieodom9107]

From what I could tell...this club had some serious spin, making the shots stop quickly instead of running out like his other wedge. I would LOVE to have a club that stops the ball like this!

[@seanchambers8950]

What a club. Such a straight line on those chips. I’d put it in the bag!

[@joelcrow]

Ironically, the way to get good results out of this club is to swing faster, which is the same way to get better results with a regular wedge.

[@seththebeatmxchine]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 this cracked me up

[@timothyjackson4236]

The simple fact that it was able to be hit from 100 yards is impressive

[@kilmer54]

Hey Rick, for some of the gimmick clubs, where they are meant for higher handicappers, you should have a higher handicapper test them to get a good gage if it'll help!

[@kipp1755]

Literally the only way to truly test clubs like this. Cause something tells me I wouldn’t see the same consistent line he did lol

[@SilveryFoxster]

My thoughts exactly. A skilled golfer such as Rick can make any gimmick club look good.

[@tylerintihar8272]

“I would also recommend getting lessons from a coach” 😂😂

[@xarevok]

I'm going to guess this was film before the lads' video. Otherwise, he would have said more than a few duffs haha

[@sisleymichael]

I have a Lob and Sand slider years ago fro. Maltby. (60 and 56 degrees, respectively. ) they are about 2.5" sole width. Super easy to use well, consisyantly. Average duffers have jobs, families, stuff to do. Practice golf? Not so much. Clubs like this really do help.

[@ShawnyBGolf]

Rick, you could have used this in the three hole challenge on Peters channel the other day. Haha

[@CeilingPanda]

The wide chunky ones were to my knowledge popular in the 70's and I got to borrow one when getting my handicap, and when I asked where I could buy one I got it for free from my instructor, it's to this day my favorite club

[@Averyravynwood]

I’ll stick with your tips on the 8-iron bump and run. I holed one yesterday with the 8, and 3 out of 12 in my warmup before my round too.

[@serenityinsilence]

I’ve been practicing my pitching and chipping. It’s made a huge difference in my game. It also taught me how to properly aim the face of the club, and how to get better ball strikes. Now my iron play is significantly improved because of it. Went to the range yesterday and all my irons were laser beam straight flight. 95% of my shots were off line by maybe 5 yards at the very most. I was aiming for the yard marker sticks and had quite a few hit them. They give off a satisfying ping sound since they are made of steel.

[@DanielWillems1995]

Where there is a will there is a way to fat a shot. Just rewatched that North Hants course vlog (on Pete’s channel). That shot out of the ditch in Part 2. One of the all time shots!

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

It makes sense the height and less rollout though eh? Isn't that one of the selling points of a hybrid vs a long iron for example, it's easier to get the ball into the air because of the head design? It looks to me like this could work well for a downhill put that you have to fly a fair way, lol honestly the ones that didn't roll out the way you wanted, maybe a downhill chip one where you kind of either have to hit the hole or it's rolling past, this could stop it closer? I don't know, could be interesting!

[@waltbutchko3328]

[@st.9641]

[@FiftyLibros]

These vids are always interesting and entertaining

[@dathyr1]

Thanks for the video. I will still stay with my wedges, but i bet this club because of the additional weight and bounce would be great for out of the rough around the greens. It would give the ball a little more power through the taller grass. It looks like a nice club to give it a go for people that chunk wedge shots. There is always something unique that comes along. take care.

[@jefjef4359]

Which one would you be the best suitable for beginner? The cutter? Box wedge or Dune?

[@obrientwins6211]

Rick can’t wait for the podcast and can you do video on how to use your wedge

[@traviswestcott8870]

coming from me not a good short game person because i don't practice enough, last year, I would never buy this. I started to just go to what felt right and improve on that this year and I have 100% confidence now that I will not leave my chip short and that I will strike it well! Now I just need to perfect distance control, but I have shaved just from that about 2-3 strokes an 18 off my score!! So what I say is just focus on one thing not clubs, but ball contact. LOVE YOU RICK!!!!

[@traviswestcott8870]

I am around 87 avg because i don't play enough with my job to be consistent so take that as far as the comment

[@zanefoster9352]

Funky looking. I bought a C3i wedge at yard sale here in the states for $5.00. It is 65* loft and it is funky looking, but once I got used to it, it worked pretty good.

[@neilsmith9540]

Hi Rick ! Really liking all these test and reviews you do on all the clubs. My youngest lad Theo who's eight would really like you to do a test and review on junior clubs as he really wants a new set. Another question he would like answering is why do all these junior sets come with roughly only four clubs in the bag. Then you can't find additional clubs to add to the bag. Why is it you can not get a full set of junior clubs. Really hope this is something you can do in a video looking forwards to seeing it. thanks Neil & Theo.

[@jonathanmickle7559]

Juniors don't typically generate enough club head speed to have normal 8-12 yard gaps between clubs that are 4 degrees or less apart like most adults get with iron sets that are 3-4 degrees apart. Only by making Junior clubs with gaps of 8 degrees or so (2 clubs apart), are juniors able to get the sort of gap progressions that adults get. Ping Prodi G irons are available for juniors from 5 iron through Sand Wedge, but most parents don't want to shell out $80 per club or more for irons that have 3-4 yard gaps, and most kids don't want to carry so many clubs. The missing odd or even irons can be added when juniors start gaining club head speed, but it often turns out that it makes more sense at that point to move them to adult sets anyway. By ages 12-13, most girls and many boys will have the strength to use adult sets with very light shafts, so I think it is somewhat rare to see really complete junior sets.

[@mikelob6707]

Just me or is it strange the "dune" club isnt meant for bunkers?

[@charlieodom9107]

I thought the same thing! Maybe they should have called it the turf instead!

[@keithprice3369]

Hardly seems fair to compare hitting clubs you're very familiar with with a radically different one you haven't gotten comfortable with yet.

[@50StichesSteel]

That grouping was amazing. You didn't have a feel for how much speed it takes for your distance result but those balls where sitting right next to each other and went straight everytime..I'd take that anytime over balls drawing out left and right and sometimes dead stops or fast rolls..Give me the consistency please

Hi Ric, Try comparing this wedge against the "One putt wedge" looks sort of similar and is supposed to be good from 100 yards in. I have had one for about 6 years and find it really good even out of bunkers. I enjoy all the videos you produce and hope you keep the output going. Best Regards,

I've recently been using an xe1 sand/ flop wedge in 59° that's the same sort of idea flat bottom though not as pronounced and it's the best thing for those up and down shots around the green max yardage of maybe 35-40 yards if you swing at it but it's just so fool proof absolutely fantastic and got me my first ever birdie hole out from 30 yards along with getting me on the green for two other birdies the same day, never taking it out of my bag

[@lucashafford]

45 seconds in and can say it's still thin-able. Your leading edge can obviously still be .75 if an inch off the grass and send it 50 yards past the green

[@charlieodom9107]

I think the idea with this club is for players to feel comfortable thumping the wedge on the ground without fear of chunking it. The whole reason many people thin it is because they are afraid of chunking it, and I think this club would alleviate a lot of that fear.

[@justomarenco9574]

i have a Dunlop 56° skidplate wedge, and arround the green is no good... but it has the same principals of that wedge. great video

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

I ♥ Rick Shiels.

[@TrippyWheelz]

I think it’s probably good for building confidence for switching over to a traditional wedge too. I could see how playing for a month with this and then going back to a wedge is good. Half of the struggle is worrying about hitting a bad shot and maybe this club could help build that confidence.

[@richs8170]

For those of you struggling with chipping with your wedge, try your 8-iron 👍🏻😉

[@apparaoapparao]

MacGregor Vfoil EZ Out sand wedge from early 2000s has a similar concept-huge sole and bounce angle. Highly recommended-works great out of bunkers also.

[@apparaoapparao]

Forgot to mention that they are forged, so very good feel to the club also.
