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.

[@theholshouser7459]

Personally loved the review. I guess if you're just interested in what he puts in his bag, then its a let down, but for me, I'm looking to get a mixed set of blades 7-PW and CB 3-6, possibly the P770's. Great review Rick!

[@jimwilhelm9400]

@@theholshouser7459 I LOVED the review. I watch every single video. But, Kevin's post is still true (and funny). Rick does do a lot of blade reviews and its pretty common for him to acknowledge they are very difficult clubs to hit and are for a very small percentage of golfers.

[@toddbrown5955]

The Nike Vr pro blades were the best irons I’ve ever played. The grooves are balding but blades are amazing. I’ve gotten so much better because of them. I was a +0.4 before rupturing my Achilles in March. I will never go away from pure blade irons.

[@jamesleason4004]

I just sold my old set of VR pro forged blades 2-lw for $300. Went with a new set of radar 3-60w. I think they will feel better than the Nikes did, but we will see.

[@daltonmoore882]

I find it so interesting the difference in opinion on blades. I’m off 12 and looking down at my MB’s makes me feel so confident and laser focused. I can’t get lazy and I’m forced to swing it better. Before the mb iron I was -18-20. Not to mention a bad shot usually drops short in in bounds. Instead of hot face taking it full distance OB. There usually a lot more course short of target than there is long lol. I’d recommend a cheap second hand set of MB’s to practice with to anyone

[@leonidasmartin2158]

I’m a junior golfer going off 8 I use the jpx 921 tours, and I hate a thick top line it actually lowers my confidence and like you said I won’t strike it nearly as good

[@Didyouseeitreally]

I've only been playing 2 years bought the p7mb 3 - pw for £500 love them and play well with them. Like you say makes you concentrate more on your strike

[@EstrayOne]

I have the same thing with blades. I don't know what it is exactly, maybe the feeling of the club doing the work for you instead of you working the club puts us off?

[@jonathanragusa545]

idk why everyone is so afraid of blades, i had some extremely forgiving clubs for years and then i abruptly switched to some MB’s and it really forced me to become a better golfer, i love both sets of blades i’ve had

[@Piesfan35]

what handicap were you when you switched to blades?

[@jonathanragusa545]

Ryan Sheehan it was pretty high 😂 i probably shouldn’t have done it but i’m now a 11 handicap so clearly they helped me quite a bit. i really think i was 25 handicap when i got the first set of blades 😅. those things really taught me some patience and luckily the course i play there aren’t many houses around 🤣

[@CharlesEtienneAuger]

I think it's about knowing where your miss hits come from. I miss left all the time because of my swing path and the fact I fade the ball, but I hit the middle of the club face mostly all the time. I switched from GI irons to a split set of Blueprint for 7-8-9-PW and i210 for 5-6. Top of the bag is hybrids and FW. I love my blades because of the feedback and the precision. I've corrected some swing path issues and more often than not, I can control the fade or add a little bit of a draw, which I couldn't do very well with chunky clubs. If your misses come from hitting the face all over the place and shanking the ball, fat and thin all the time, then no, blades are not for you.

[@mylesd6099]

Don’t see the point in using blades unless you’re a seriously good consistent ball striker, even then it’s just making the game harder for yourself for no reason.

[@T.C.S123]

@@mylesd6099 correct. I'm 10 hc and I have hybrids up to 7 iron. Then only 3 irons in 8 9 pw. Then 50 degree for chipping and 58 for bunkers. 😁. Bag full of headcovers 👍

The fact that me and probably 90%+ of the people interacting with this video have little chance in this lifetime of ever needing a bladed iron, continue to watch the review in it's entirety, is a testament of the connection you've built with your subscribers. Great video and great channel. Didn't watch for the clubs. Watched because you make it interesting.

[@zanesmith9258]

Rick on 2nd hole drive: A little in the rough I must not have hit it that well Me with that drive: Center cut baby absolutely piped that one!

[@FlyRiverFly]

5 years ago, I could shoot about 80-84. I quit due to back injuries. I was playing blades at the time because I liked the feel. I just started playing again this month and I bought a set of Ping I3 and a set of blades. The blades were so much better. I hit them higher and longer and I am no where near a 10 handicapper right now. Blades force you to swing properly and more consistently. Once you figure out a proper swing, I think blades are better but you have to put your mind set to getting there.

[@rossstevenson9703]

My first ever set of irons were a 2nd hand set of Wilson Staff blades and I loved them. You could do so much with the ball that cavity backs don't let you.

[@theeyesurgeon1]

I find the P730’s to be relatively forgiving up to 7 iron. Gets harder to hit at 5 and 6. They are VERY accurate. The ball literally goes the almost the same distance. Haven’t tried the MB’s yet. Kind of scare me to try because I like the 730’s so much

[@MyKcuL]

Rick - I want a more forgiving less bladed iron TaylorMade - I got you fam Rick - Ooooo so shiny gimme 😏

[@bryceterzian9418]

Did he really say this? I think about it all the time...a beautiful combo set would sell more than anything...I use the SLDR irons and love them. I'd be happy to upgrade to something a littttttttttttle more gamer.

[@stephendewhurst8398]

I’m with you on this. The solution for me was Titleist AP2/T100. For me they feel like a blade but slightly more forgiving.

@@stephendewhurst8398 I'll have to give them a try. Titleist always been difficult for me to hit, hopefully this changes that.

[@toddbrown5955]

I'm currently playing Titleist 690mb irons. Amazing irons. I've won 2 tournament on the amateur players tour and 2 runner ups. I love the feedback of these irons . Blades are the only way to go to get better

[@the_golfing_hack8927]

Just put these in the bag this weekend. Played my first round with them today. I love the feel and flight, as well as the looks of them so I will take the punishment for miss hits

[@deansmith1971]

Rick I agree that blades are for the better players. But I went from super forgiving iron to wilson staff model blades playing off 10. I'm not sure many people relate but when I look down at the blade it makes me concentrate more plus they feel incredible. Best decision I ever made going to blades. Love them!

[@artkitzmiller957]

This is one of the best edited video you have ever had! You did TaylorMade a great service and all your viewers too. Thanks for the superb effort.

[@BNuttSack]

MB's aren't as bad as people make them out to be. I'm not a great golfer but I HATE how cavity backs look so I bought bladed irons. Sure they require more practice and are less forgiving, but they are such great feeling clubs when hit well. I honestly believe they'll help you become better at golf because you'll feel each shot and learn from your mistakes. I used my buddies CB on the range and they feel so dead and chunky. I use Titleist MB 620s 3-PW

[@Andresckim]

Not hard to do when you are rich enough to hire experts to do the editing and filming.

[@brianh8801]

Sometimes “Better” is a mindset. I play to a 9-10 handicap, and prefer blades because I like how they look at address. I have never cared for thick top lines and offset because they make me feel like I’m trying to dig the ball out. Whereas blades and thinner top line clubs like my ancient Titliest 735 CMB’s give me the confidence to hit the shot I want, even though I always don’t. With blades I feel positive at address and maybe don’t always get the results I’d hoped for, but I’m out there to enjoy the game, and a positive mindset is the first step. Thanks for the review and take care.

[@e99783]

If you have a good swing, like Rick, the difficulty of playing blades is just psychological

[@MickR0sco]

Precisely. Switch the mentality like they did with the spitfire (a little far reaching I know) 'if it looks right it'll go right'

[@jplabossiere7715]

Great Video Rick!! Beautiful clubs from Taylormade this year!! I really appreciate, weather you intend to or not, how you encourage us to take pride and ego out of the equation when selecting clubs. I would love to believe I could become good enough to hit those clubs but hearing from you about a “blade” encourages me to get fitted and select the right clubs for my handicap and then go from there. Thx as always for your unique approach to this channel! Don’t change!! Love it!! Cheers!!

[@kbrown4ou]

I’ve been playing the same set of 2005 Taylormade RAC-LT irons for 16 years because at address they look like blades, I can work the ball, and they’re more forgiving than the Wilson Staff Tour irons I started playing with. I believe the beautiful Taylormade blades in this video are for those who are skilled enough to score with them; or, for those golfers like me who enjoy the thrill of shaping shots and the challenge of striking the ball purely without too much assistance of engineering maybe even more than simply scoring as low as possible. Another beautiful and enjoyable video.

[@justme_12342]

I always hear that these clubs are for the pro's.i'm not at all a good player and I know other clubs would or could be better for me. But I rather have that insane good feeling when I hit the ball well and be punished when I don't. the feeling when you hit it well is just so good. I know it's personal preference of course. Can anybody relate?

[@jeffberube9419]

So I’m a very poor golfer and I’m wondering: wouldn’t it just make sense to just play with clubs like that right off the bat, forcing you to work on your precision from the get go instead of picking up poor habits with forgiving clubs?

[@danieldrew4190]

100%

[@Kridian01]

Blades absolutely make you a better golfer. It's tough work, but the payoff is rewarding.

[@Jjwalways70]

Blades just amplify your ball striking , great feel for shaping shots and ball flights , if you can’t hit your irons straight or have a regular shot shape left or right they will be easier than game improvement irons to move the ball around , if your not hitting the ball out of the middle or need help with distance blades won’t suite your game , a hit off enter will be punished more in distance loss, one maybe two clubs , but they are more consistent than cavity type irons .

[@InstrumentalWhiteNoise]

With all of these new iron-review videos, I think it’s safe to say that Rick is the new “Ironman”

[@peterday1834]

My handicap is probably a little higher than usual for blades at around 5 to 8 handicap (estimated) but I use blades anyways because it helps me learn to hit the ball put of the middle more consistently!

[@alexwade3631]

Great video. I love watching the ones with clubs I could never afford - it's like a dream. Golf clubs are ridiculously priced. I will wait 10 years and then buy this set maybe it will be affordable 🤣🤣

Great looking blades I love them if I was a low handicap player I would put them in the bag right off never had any trouble hitting a 4-iron or 5 or 6

[@callahandylan]

In my experience, using blades are the true game improvement iron, you know what you did wrong, forces you to become better and concentrate if you’re serious about getting better

[@petekendrick1598]

I love your videos Rick! I am am a mid handicapper I can strike clubs in the center the difference in my game is chips and putting for score. I started playing with with Wilson FG-17 Blades 30years ago and broke 100 with them . I believe that if I stayed with blades I would have probably progressed faster and more consistent and been a better golfer today. Now, I just bought a set of Powerbuilt Citation Leveler irons in new condition. I'm going back to the basics and let the clubs teach me what's a correctly strut ball.

[@jit0901]

Rick, please test the Miura irons!!! and compare it to the mizunos in terms of the feels... Should be very interesting!

[@jpdst29]

I wish I knew the difference between blades and cavity backs years ago. When I first started golfing, I bought a used set of Nike pro vapor blades because they were +2 because I’m 6’9” and they were priced well. I was never able to hit my irons and I just chalked it up as I wasn’t good at golf. Fast forward a couple years later, and I’m playing golf with a buddy who makes a comment to me that “only good golfers should use blades” and I should try cavity backs. Went out and got myself some cavity backs and it’s like night and day. I can actually hit my irons well.

[@nelsonjames1272]

I’m not sure if sponsorship influences what you are using or are going to use but a great club to try is the latest King Cobra Forged CB. Paired with Modus Tour 130 shafts or whatever works for you, they are everything you are looking for in a forgiving CB that packs a punch. You will be surprised at the performance and other benefits. Give them a go if you haven’t already, you won’t be disappointed. I guarantee it. And I’m not affiliated in any way with Cobra. I was surprised myself at the quality and performance. Perfect for the good player that likes to work the ball.

[@LesPaulBJJ]

No such thing as being "good enough" for blades. Plenty of tour pros, the best iron strikers on the planet, play CB's. Likewise blades can teach amateurs a lot about ball-striking and are better for your game long term for that reason. I started playing blades 6 months ago when I was a 6 handicap. I've since come down to a 1. I love striking blades and the miss-hits teach me so much. I also don't see much drop-off in distance or accuracy on most miss-hits despite what all the GI iron marketing says.

[@pbabs3389]

Rhys Morris I’ve got a set of blades that I’ll drag out occasionally, and I swear that your right. They inspire a cleaner strike

[@maxcaysey2844]

Indeed... people in the comments continuously perpetuate nonsense that blades are difficult to play... they are not!

[@TheDailyBoost]

cant agree more. I started playing a 710 MB this year and my handicap went from an 8 to a 4, ball striking capability is better than ever and like you mentioned the feedback you get is so beneficial to improving your game. I have never been able to shape shots and control the ball like this before.

[@sean9820]

Fully agree. 20+ here and recently bought a used set of 712 MB's. After three range trips I am absolutely in love. I get chills when I flush it, such a rewarding feel. When I don't I know why. I am certain these will make me a better player. And they look so incredible to boot.

[@electricalstuff259]

I hate when they rate irons by handicap. If i'm shooting 100 because i'm taking 54 putts a round and am shit off the tee how does that translate into not being able to hit irons? I can hit an iron absolutely pure, ball-first then divot but i'm off 22. I'm off 22 because all my second shots are out of the rough, i take at least 2-3 drops per round, i can't get out of bunkers, and i 3-putt every single hole. I have Mizuno MP-33's and can hit them fine.

[@loganrhodes6018]

Rick thank you for making educational videos. I started playing golf about 3 months ago in early may and my coaches recommended your channel to me in June.

Paying the price for errors in setup or swing is how blades make you improve your game, or go running back to the high-tech stuff.

Best video yet rick!! Took these reviews to another level with this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@andrewbrown7747]

“Scary” genuinely would be scared I missed the ball with those bad boys. I would love to be good enough to play with blades as they look great

[@maxcaysey2844]

Why would you be scared? Do you ever hit the center of your current set? Really there's no reason why you can't hit the center of blades? They might be a little less forgiving, but its not like hitting 50 year old blades mate...

[@WTMNNJR]

I find that the fear goes away after a few rounds. The clubs make me hit better.

[@lukehudd6554]

I run these blades and love them had them custom fitted at the taylormade lab by Bruce

[@countryboy8870]

These are beautiful to hit, please don't be afraid of them. Mis-hit will cost you 10m, yeah they're slightly shorter than my mizunos but the face angles show that will be the case. Combo set would be my recommendation, down to the 6 iron they're easy enough, then to the CB for the 4-5.

[@glencrawford2933]

Rick: time to hit a stinger. Tees it up in the rough😂

[@rossmackenzie3599]

I'm a mid handicapper and I got fitted into mizuno mp4s at the top end of my bag and hit them just as well as I'd hit any other irons.

[@TroyMacLean]

You ever going to get around to testing the titlest 620 MB’s?

[@jackvliet]

Hell yeah

[@rykerdunkley2793]

He does the whole titleist line in the first or second review show I can’t remember which one

[@TroyMacLean]

Ryker Dunkley yeah but those weren’t club reviews, he just talked about them

[@ronaldh6466]

I'm only comfortable with the 7,8,9,P anything under the 7 the confidence plummets. It's easy to smash a Drive but the Irons are hard to get used to especially for newer players. Awesome video and nice clubs 👍.

[@cameronsteijn4845]

My one word is “precision” especially after those stingers

[@brandentrowbridge8088]

Let me tell you buddy, your videos make golf so much more appetizing. Ive recently started playing and i seem to have more success with blades over cavity backs. My friend has blades and we have all but swapped bags at this point.

[@dogspaghetti6]

Can we take a minute to appreciate Rick's shoe game, wow!!!

[@shhmandy]

The perks of a Nike sponsorship. ;)

[@kylerpatterson6630]

I’m still playing my 1990 Ben Hogan Apex Grinds. I can relate that small head behind the ball. Adds a different level of focus.

[@ethanrice9924]

Quick question: do you buy the clubs or borrow them from a company?

[@JadeEyes90]

I’m pretty sure they just send him the clubs for free.

[@bitchplz]

The brands send him clubs to test and review (its good marketing for them). And they definitely pay him for it so if that means he keep the clubs or not, Idk, but probably sometimes yes, if he likes them.

[@emkayusa]

They loan him the clubs, he has to send them back. If he wants to keep them I don’t know how that would work, he would likely not keep or buy a set of demo clubs though, I would guess he would find the clubs he likes, then get fitted for them.

[@sckildare2772]

@@emkayusa these aren't demo clubs really they look brand new and generally demo clubs are on separate heads and shafts to fit, could be wrong though

[@emkayusa]

Shane32 Eire They are sent to him as demo clubs, and yes, they are brand new. That’s what manufacturers do. They send out new clubs for reviewers to review.

[@terrorfactoryfilms]

Brilliant job Rick, thank you. So grateful for the in-depth looks at these clubs I know I'll never hit, but am still curious about! Cheers!!

[@Saybia1]

These are - "I'll buy them used for £200 on ebay in about 15 years time" irons. 😂

[@Tom-ok2rh]

Jonathan Mack Won’t even take that long. Amazing how value plummets after new models are out. That is the way to go though 👍

[@best4noles]

Maybe 4 years... Sheesh.. No good residual with such steep initial purchase price.

[@nickb6618]

3 year old clubs already depreciate 300 plus dollars it’s crazy

[@insufficientfunds5603]

Traditional lofts like the current blades I'm using. After a few rounds shooting in the 80s and 90s with blades I shot a 79 then a 74. Only been playing for 4 years and ive been watching your videos since I started. Nice job rick!

[@electricalstuff259]

How many putts per round, how many fairways found, how was your scrambling?

[@robthomas3968]

They look so nice, I’ve watched this video a couple times now they are the best looking clubs I’ve Ever seen

[@davidterrie7661]

Forgiveness is relative. I still play '84 Hogan Apex PCs, and still hit the long irons decently. With good contact being paramount, I rarely hit these clubs full out. I also don't expect to be rewarded for a bad swing. I found the P7MBs to be remarkably forgiving in my fitting, compared to my Apex PCs. Even balls a couple of grooves low did well. It's part of the deal with the devil, and it's why I've ordered a 3-PW set of P7MBs. I'm more confident with a 3 or 4 iron off the tee on a long par 3, or knocking the ball down a par 5 it's not smart to go for in two than I am with my 20 degree hybrid or fairway wood. I use my hybrid as a get out of jail club, and the fairway might be replaced with another wedge, depending on the course.

[@Rickwynne]

Those clubs are so nice! Hope to be in those in the next few years! Running t200’s now and love them. Definitely not Goode bough for blades yet but those are so sexy! I prefer the small look

[@jimwilhelm9400]

The thought of blades makes me think of hating playing golf. But, the cinematographic quality of this video is the best yet. Artistic production has really become fantastic! Great video Rick and team.

[@completeamateurgolfer]

This video is very well done! Great shots, framing, angles from above too. Great editing. Really shows how professional you are, choosing to use someone who knows what he's doing!

[@grahamb7925]

Nice to see you testing clubs again, Like the new approach.
