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.

[@tobyharvey5077]

Absolutely smacks the first put “comes of a bit hot of the face” 😂

[@CatGPT_]

Just rick things

[@jakehmckernan1]

Lol definitely just Rick things. Like when he sprays one 60 yards right out of bounds and goes “ughhh drivuhhhhh”. But yeah just Rick. Then he proceeds to closely miss 3 putts from 20 feet and goes “not in love” lol

[@Descan26]

beat me to it. the lack of accountability is shocking sometimes

[@JaxReds]

@@jakehmckernan1did you not listen to what he said Immediately after or something. He’s absolutely right loving the look of any club is important

[@bennyboy0773]

And using Vice balls, that he absolutely never uses any other time

[@fortyjarsOjello]

Please review more Wilson putters. Wilson needs more love

[@krusher74]

They have to pay Rick first.

[@charlie_4758]

Really like the look of the mallet! Almost phantom-ish

[@chrispearce9224]

5:21 when the course uses a full on, road going SUV as the ball picking cart. There are levels too this game. LOL.

[@FreeJimCrow]

Man I wish we had one like that at my course! 😭 The one we have only picks on one side

[@jawide626]

An audi one as well. Without a care in the world about people hitting at it.

[@shavencarrot]

They've probably been selling these $400 vice putters

[@Kid_Senekal]

Would feel bad aiming a stinger at that.

[@DJRyanWalker]

Totally agree regarding personalisation. I play TaylorMade and you can buy custom wedges, drivers and putters, but it adds quite a bit extra when it’s all added together

[@bassmasta9117]

They had something going with the Vice balls competing with Kirkland as a cheap but quality product, but they've gone the opposite direction with their clubs.

[@orikoru]

The balls aren't even cheap now, you're paying £40 unless you order about 60 of them at once.

[@jestr102763]

Could you do a comparison between Wilson infinite putter(129.99) line and Wilson staff (349.99) line to show if money really does make a difference on brand name putters

[@oozu-maki4488]

Money doesn’t make a difference. For a putter, it’s whatever u feel most confident with.

[@jestr102763]

100% agree. But the question is more along the line that Wilson has an infinite line and a staff line that are exactly the same other then looks. With over a $200 difference it would be interesting to see what the felt comparison would be other then they look different

[@YayaGolf777]

⁠I’m a 9 handicap and bag a Wilson Infinity, great putter! I use the older $99 model.

[@bryceperkins2259]

I love my Wilson infinite putter. I’m glad I decided to give it a try.

[@JonxPon400]

I knew this was coming. I appreciate this Rick! I may pull the trigger on that mallet. Soon as u said GSS I said, oh I'm in!

[@bobbyjones7609]

topography was the word you were looking for. very similar to topology, but definitely have different meanings. topography maps are maps like the greens have that you were mentioning it reminded you of.

[@philjames2739]

As a fan of your videos and someone who wants to get into golf, I think if you could putt better your scores would improve 1000%, can you do more videos on putt alignment and reading greens please

[@leonhenderson8556]

Yep the Mallet putter is for me, looks n sounds great 👍

[@chrispearce9224]

Would love to see you review some Srixon clubs. Specifically the Z-forged and ZX-7 irons. Just putting it out there. Thanx.

[@harisbajric7958]

I have the Mkii zx7's and theyre awesome. Just as forgiving as the 5's and they feel way better.

[@Matt-Higgins]

Srixon gets missed by so many KZbin reviews. However, Pete Finch rated them well, and from memory Mygolfspy had them rated highly as well.

[@mashedpotatoes5276]

New ones 6 weeks away

[@samwhite2932]

Been rocking the blades for about a month and a half. It does visually take a minute but I like the feel. The sound and the roll. I like the weight as well, u never made a note of that. I feel like it’s quite weighty for a blade. Great video tho

[@Bildo1986]

I own a vgp02 it's spectacular. It is a bit different, but for me it's different to the betterment of golf. Everything was sheets looking and feeling the same . They took it different and it still feels great. My only issue. With the shallow angle and boxy design it's really hard to pick up balls with your putter.

[@christiandefender9468]

It's funny how you said, "If you box all three, it's going in the bag." You just got the PING fitted for a handsome sum and really seems to work for you. Keep the PING.

[@keithhanssen7413]

After he got the PING fitting, the putter rusted in the rain, so he returned it. Also, he’s a tour professional and golf club reviewer, so it’s essential to have a lot of clubs. He obviously has the money, judging by the custom built simulator he makes videos in.

[@tekepenguin1981]

Just like their balls, they went from above average quality at a great price to overpriced hype with "customization" (as if choosing a few colors is customizing a club) to just overpriced. 400 for a vice mallet??? You're off your guttenburgen rocker.

[@chrissellings]

I reckon loads of the DTC will do that Takomo will be next So many KZbin ers using them now it won't be long before they're just under the premium price point Quite clearly it's a strategy to break into a already congested marketplace with way too many releases of new gear already

[@user-dx7ej6cs5t]

They still have fairly good value on their balls

[@cpri555]

​@@chrissellings the difference is vice was releasing their clubs at a premium price point. The proper DTC club makers are still well below premium pricing and they have been in the KZbin scene for almost a decade now. Vice is a joke for their price point with the clubs they released

[@skibooski6884]

Normal vice balls are like the same price as most balls

[@chrissellings]

@@cpri555 yea they established themselves as a brand using balls and apparel and accessories (which arguably is where the money is) and now introduce the other products at premium money Won't be long before other DTC companies follow them

[@kengugala2911]

Rolled the mallet the other week, pleasantly surprised. Still went with a Bettinardi but it was nice

[@Thehumplik]

The mallet looks nice but it's way too expensive

[@jumpn24]

Please do a rd with a full set of clubs with the best fitted ball.

[@christophersiegert8343]

Ricky, yikes. Putters generally have 2-3 degrees of loft. 4 is considered extreme. The Spiders, for instance, come standard at 2.5. So do Evnrolls.

[@joelafives]

Those putters look GREAT

[@OvieKovy]

Been eyeing the mallet one for a while!!!

[@jakehmckernan1]

Rick talking about looks over performance again. Sounds about right. I know looks play into confidence, but just feel it out man. Forget how it looks.

[@jameszaimes7407]

Agreed. Ive been saying the same thing for years. All he has to say is its his personal preference and someone else might love the look but he always makes it sound like because he doesn't like the look, it's a terrible club.

[@victorchen8484]

It's a putter😂Look is more important. And if you look at someone like ian at TXG, he also choose look over performance sometimes, look is important

[@jameszaimes7407]

@victorchen8484 I'm not saying looks isn't important but it's super subjective. What i think is good is different than what someone else thinks is good. That's been my issue with Rick. He kind of acts as if his opinion trumps all on looks. I love everything else he has to say about performance but he has looks have too much weight even though it's so objective.

[@jakehmckernan1]

@@victorchen8484 if I told you there was a putter where you could hole 30% more putts, would you care what it looks like? Obviously there’s no such thing, but some putters outperform others. Rick gets caught up on the look of clubs no matter what club it is regardless of how it performs. Rick tested the LAB putter and it performed better than any other putter he’s ever tested and where is it? Sitting on a shelf collecting dust

[@MrEddiyOwen]

How are you filming this in the middle of a driving range? Rick as new target!

[@jday4217]

These look quality!!

[@Descan26]

nice review rick

[@East_Tennessee_Golfer]

Would you test the Maxfli tour/s/x ball? I can even send you some from the US

[@ZacSwings]

Ya me too

[@edj9961]

Bro they’re 100$ for 4-dozen, balls are great for the price. Just pick some up

[@jonasbrownlee7279]

Vice is the Nike we should have had. Not rushing into clubs

[@chrispearce9224]

I like that 01 personally. I don't like mallet putters overall...but I could probably use this one.

[@chrispearce9224]

Huh???? 7:05 they are calling the 01 a blade? It's double the size of a blade....the 01 should at least be called 1/2 mallet or mini mallet or something like that.

[@chrispearce9224]

Okay, Rick mentions exactly this at 10:00

[@AlabamaGolfer]

The personalization options are a nice touch. I feel these are aimed at a younger crowd, but at 51 myself, I am intrigued by the mallet. What does it say about golf equipment prices these days when my first reaction to you stating the mallet was $320 was “oh, that’s not bad” 😂

[@Relancalm]

Rick how come it's so hard to find putters that are more customisable? They're all 33/34 or 35" shafts. It's so rare to find something longer even if you're ordering direct from the supplier. I found one in a shop yesterday at 40" but it's arm lock so massive grip but I did notice though that Vice do up to 36". It makes a difference to us big fellas!!

[@hazelnutwoodcraft]

When are you going to review some top flight golf balls. I find them all the time so I assume they must be very popular 😀

[@georgeswain4985]

Mad really, considering great putters like the Cleveland HB series are often found for 100 quid, that brands of varying stature bring out new stuff at these price points. Understand brands like scotty getting away with charging money for effectively heritage, but newer brands coming in at over 300 quid, dont Understand it at all. Imagine how many of these theyd sell at 150 instead

[@MarkSamora]

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the mallet putter. It is quite expensive though.

[@drew021795]

Topography Ricko!

[@SteveFromStockport]

Bottomography 😁

[@captainredbeard5607]

[@markbailey9503]

great video🎉

Great vid

A bit busy for me, but to each their own!

[@Welsh2505]

Try the graves golf lock n roll armlock putter.

[@trem1980]

Thought that was Bootle when I saw a car driving on the course lol

[@lancefrasier200]

If all of these putters came in a price from $125-$250, I think they would find their demographic. $400, way too expensive! Sadding they have come into the price inflated market as the other “major” brands. Maybe Ill pick one up 2nd hand next yr for $100.

[@SledheadGaming]

I think i would of rather seen less customization so that they could lower the price. The price has to be higher as they have to build custom colors but it would be nice to see a slightly lower priced base color package

[@Chris54321]

I think the color options make their club heads look cheap. As for the grip, with the colors it just looks like an advertising tool. I am not opposed to specific colors for a brand, like Milwaukee tools being red and DeWalt being yellow, but a dozen different colors like Sccy Firearms I associate with cheap.

[@JT-xs4br]

5:22 is that a car picking up range balls? That’s a posh range!

[@sandersson2813]

It's topography, not topology that the contours represent. Topology is the spatial relationship of two or more objects to each another, topography is the relief of a landmass.

[@TonyHammer61]

Putters are very personal choices

[@anson3929]

mallet remind me of the phantom 5.5

[@michaelmosley384]

The black and yellow/green one is dressed like Robbo.

[@davidtomsett]

The topology grooves will fill with dirt

[@rlr12377]

Love vice golf balls but can't afford the clubs

[@SmokeyRobbo]

No I think you’ve got it bang on about the blade putter. It just looks wrong. It’s neither one thing or the other. It’s like they designed the mallet and then just chopped the tail off. Mallet looks great. P.S. Not sure you really explained the HIO angle and how they’ve been designed using data.

[@kongeorgiadiswouldntmindtr6506]

You must play a round with a full set, including using a vice ball.

[@eyeque7]

I think their putters look awesome. I dont know what you're looking at.

[@kevinrobertson2053]

Is that an A-Class collecting balls off of the range in the background?😱

[@tankeater]

Become ambidextrous. It's just something you simply learn. Good luck at this endeavor you should've been told as a child. 👍

[@lexxwhite747]

Unfortunately, like most DTC products designed to save money, to get this stuff in Canada just isn't worth the marginal difference.

[@kilo2486]

They look cool for sure and seem to be of good quality. They need to work on their marketing and get some influencers on board.

[@fakereviewz]

for that price buy a Scotty or LAB😊

[@jeffhertweck381]

Interesting that you putted with Titleist balls, not vice

[@chrissellings]

Still holding his potter like a chopstick 😒💀 Rick reminds me of the dead dad in This is England 88 You've been warned 😂😂😂

[@adambaines8726]

*topography*

[@MrTweetyOfficial]

just going to say the blade is so big it almost looks like a mallet to me

[@richardmanion6132]

I don't like calling that a mallet style. It's a fang style with barely enough material to make it look (not perform) like a mallet. On longer putts that are more likely to miss the center, that miss will be exaggerated. Fang style putters suck

[@GRIFFIN-TACTICAL7667]

i cant change the paint fill on the website, I can only choose some base models.

[@asam1230]

lol he’s showing the putter behind a titleist ball

[@peterdrake8392]

Just personal taste but mallet putters in general do nothing for me - feels too much club behind the ball lol. Always a blade!!£400 for a putter? Got to be mental.😂

[@marssyng]

Are these videos supposed to be a review or Rick opinions? His videos are getting more cringe, but companies give him stuff due to viewership

[@montegustafson5142]

Don't understand the alignment lines on that mallet putter. They look more distracting than helpful. And on a $400 putter?? As my teacher(s) used to say: "Needs Improvement".

[@jakedavid4304]

“Came off hot” oh fk me Rick you’re like 8ft away and you took the putter back 3ft to make the putt 😅

[@scottiemo88]

Is that a bmw picking up golf balls??? 😂😂😂

[@Dablefschrempf]

your voice and music are too close to the same level its drowning out your voice.

[@DrRockso.]

Rick your late to the party again. These clubs have already been reviewed and forgotten. Way overpriced.

[@chrismoff8138]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, price should be in GBP 👎🏻

[@mikehotaling]

I don’t care if you like the looks or not..does it perform? Yes or no. But who cares… they are way too expensive.

[@3nCounting]

I don't think Vice's approach with pricing is smart. They ask for too much money for an "upstart" clubmaker, especially when Takomo is a proven manufacturer with an established track record (Wesley Bryan using them on the PGA Tour) and are cheaper with equally established "Finnish Engineering"...

[@Ian-lo3lo]

Sadly, over the last few years golf is becoming absolutely unaffordable to most people which is really pathetic

[@stevecantwell4867]

I hate to say it, but while a seemingly nice guy, Rick is losing credibility with his reviews. Functionality seems to be taking a backseat to cosmetics. , His ability to play the game seems to lack just a bit and therefore maybe he’s not not someone we should give too much credence to.

[@richardhenderson1902]

As ever with Rick, looks are required to trump performance

[@23x31]

Its just a piece of metal on a stick.

[@williamwetherington844]

so, am not a fan of any putter with any alphabet identifier in the center clubface. the groves, i think, can cause the ball to roll off your target line. so nobody can get full use of these putter heads. it's either toe or heel. 33.3% is useless. how about giving the buyers a 33.3% discount on the cost, even when on sale. i call this a design failure. it's ok where some have 2 painted balls. but never on the putter surface that makes contact with the ball.

[@maximsmith8493]

I personally don't think any of their clubs except the blades look good. I actually think they look awful, I hate the topology graphics specially. Too flashy for, so I wouldn't play vice clubs even if they gave it to me.

[@jonathoneubanks8365]

The face looks like a pyramid putter!

[@andyman127]

I hate to say it... these look so cheap. The other clubs look really nice, and not like cheap options to the competition. It smacks of end game Nike.

[@andyman127]

head cover is amazing though!

[@Mjones8383]

Theres no way to have that many options without the product being made from super cheap crap materials

[@cvan7681]

wow. They look pretty much like every other putter I've ever seen. Zzzzzzz

[@Tomdabomb86]

And? Can they not find out the price themselves?

[@logancavin2008]

Nope we need Rick to do it. His larger audience is american so why not cater to them?
