TaylorMade RSi 2 Irons Tested by 13 Handicapped Golfer

[@NikBesko]

Why are people giving this dude shit? He had an accident so he's limited on flexibility and in turn club head speed. Yet he's still out there playing the game he loves and getting better. He'd probably still beat those shit talkers on the course anyways. As a teacher I hate to hear people giving someone the gears for trying to get better, we need more people in the game not less.

[@robpottergolf]

Cheers mate. Support is appreciated

[@speedinon]

Robert Potter Have enjoyed your reviews. Keep on being classy by ignoring the insulting comments! Your swing is much better than mine. I hit my 7 iron only 130 yards. If anybody wants to make fun of me, be my guest!

[@Follyfour]

Robert Potter Are you hitting range balls Rob? If so have you hit any of your normal game ball ?

[@odaat1985]

Rob hits it pretty darn well I would say. I do not know about the accident but he looks like a pretty good 13. Love these two as a team and find this channel to be fun and interesting.

[@robpottergolf]

Follyfour No mate. We was hitting branded golf balls for thr test so the data was more true

[@clayfleming6286]

Why would anyone insult Rob? His comments are hilarious and most of us watching this do not hit the center of the face as frequently as Rick does with irons, so seeing the result of true mishits is probably beneficial to a large number of viewers.

[@robpottergolf]

Thanks Clay

[@sledge1960]

Rick, your reviews are among the best on YT, you're decision to add reviews with a wounded mid-handicapper was insightful. It would however be very helpful if you could demonstrate the workability of each club as you review them. Thanks for all your good work.

[@putthegundownkinkade]

+sledge1960 Totally agree, these are my go-to reviews now

[@garyhummel1190]

Rob you have a fan in me & many others. Just remember "Haters are LOSERS" I'm just a Old Retiree, I have mis-hits, duffs, & a higher handicap ! Just remember there's a lot of golfers who appreciate your giving a higher handicap perspective. Keep on Strok'n Rob. Gary

[@baylorba1]

Can't imagine what type of dude would insult Rob about his distances. I'm a 16 handicapper and I wouldn't dare go on camera with trackman for the world to see. Keep up the work, Rob. Love these videos and your commentary.

[@baylorba1]

Golf is supposed to be fun. People take it so seriously to the point of antagonizing others...see it all the time on these comment threads and out on the course. It's one thing to do some rib jabbing, but come on...#golfisfun #hatersgonnahate

[@robpottergolf]

Cheers dude

[@baylorba1]

Robert Potter Has anyone ever told you that you look like Charlie Day from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

[@robpottergolf]

Brian Artz can't say they have mate lol

[@jcloyd2004]

Looks like everyone is on Rob's team. I agree. No need to grief someone about distance when it is all about getting it in the hole. I think people get caught up on distances way too often.

[@garyhummel1190]

Dobby you're doing a Grand job, by helping us fellow Duffers relate more to these clubs.. Keep On - Keep'n On

[@paulhughes5353]

Great info as always. I really enjoy Robs input, I play off 11 so there's nothing between us, his feedback is invaluable. Keep it up Rob.

[@moltonwolf1785]

You two are great to watch keep them videos coming. It's nice to see what a club can do in different hands. Love the commentary and honesty

[@davidfletcher6836]

Great comments from Rob, looking forward to seeing him hit the Callaway XR. I hit the ball about the same distance as Rob but found the callaways went about 10 yards further than my r11 irons and were really easy to hit.

[@billborgman1111]

Thank Rob for me. Am a 19 handicap and his swing looks great compared to mine. Enjoy all the video's. Just can't seem to get the downswing started in the right sequences. Have tried all the drills still can't hit a 7 iron 120 yards.

[@paulbrunt5251]

Keep the reviews coming Rob and ignore the trolls, your reviews are very interesting for the average golfer. Also it doesn't matter how far you hit the ball, it's how consistent you hit it and how much enjoyment you get out of the game. And you look like you achieve both these things. Just a little insight for you Rob I'm also not a big hitter I only carry my 7iron 140m, but I still manage to play off 6-8hcp. It took me a while to not be so hung up on distance, but since I have stopped worrying about it my game has improved and I'm enjoying it more. Also their is nothing more satisfying then watching your mate hit drive after drive past you but end up beating him by 10 or more shots :) Keep up the good work Ric and Rob

[@gretel1015]

Rob, I am so glad that Rick has you review clubs. Your game is much easier, for us mere mortals, to identify with. Rick hits incredible shots but much further than most of us. Rick, I am wondering what is the best shaft for Rob. At his swing speed shouldn't he use a regular shaft. I was in a local PGA Tour Superstore near Atlanta and the majority of the used iron sets were stiff. They were telling me that very often people buy sets with the stiff shaft without really getting fitted for what they needed and then discover they needed a regular shaft. Some of the iron sets were almost brand new.

[@markbond2909]

Ignore the trolls Rob. While I don't always profess to understand your northern sense of humour, I admire you putting it out there. I'm a head taller than you but barely hit it any further and I haven't had an accident (unless you count slipping off the bridge and scrapping my shin on the fifth hole at my club, which really smarted and still hasn't healed properly)

[@robpottergolf]

Legend lol

[@MrDazza64]

The Rick n Rob Roadshow continues from strength to strength. Hiya Rob lad, take no notice of the negative comments, you do a cracking job, considering! Especially so, under the added pressure of the cameras! I can also empathise, having suffered a nasty back injury only last year myself. Keep doing what you're doing matey and wishing you a great season this year dude! Atb, Daz.

[@MrTantricrose]

fair play to you Rob.. i play off 13 also and i would be bricking it hitting shots that go on youtube. keep up the good work.

[@stevebostic6440]

Very helpful videos! Rob is great on camera and perfect for this type of test. It's an excellent idea to have a 13 handicap test these irons. We know Rick will hit anything well. I'm more interested in what Rob's doing with an iron. Very informative and Rob delivers some entertainment with the testing. Keep them coming!

[@Christafro]

Keep the 13 Handicap testing going!!! These reviews are great!!!. Are you guys going to test the GI clubs from every major brand or just the Nike and Taylormade?

[@denisflanagan891]

Great stuff Rob, keep up the good work. Got to say its good to hear a mid handicappers view on these clubs, ive been eyeing these up for myself.

[@jameslittler4151]

These reviews with Rob have been a cracking series. Nice to see he's too switched on to give a flying turd what a few idiots have to say. Keep 'em coming, Rob. There's definitely a niche for some mid (soon to be low!) handicap golfing reviews. If you're ever in southern California the round's on me.

[@davidstucky]

Rob, if money were no object and you could choose just one, would you go with the Nike Pro Combos or the RSI2s? Great stuff as usual guys. Cheers from the US!

[@andrewfiore5318]

Some of my favorite videos on this channel are the ones with Rob. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see your take on the XR irons and how they compare to the Big Berthas.

[@swish1onu]

When he was hitting the Ben Hogan blades, his distances were right in line with the distances he was getting here.... I believe he was also hitting the 7 iron with the Hogans... and doing a pretty decent job of it..

[@paulellis4565]

Rob, keep up the great work, and ignore the back-biters. I eagerly await your equipment reviews. Thanks for your honesty and candor, and for being willing to do this on camera for our benefit.

[@nathanattwood1835]

Rob you're the man, your vids have helped me heaps here in New Zealand. Cheers bud

[@philkwon81]

Hey man, if Rob only hits his 7 iron 135 yds (carry) and is a 13 handicapper, that's not bad at all. Must have an incredible game from 100 yds in or super accurate with long irons. I'm guessing since his clubspeed is a little slower, he's probably got very little dispersion throughout the bag. No matter what, all that matters is the score on the card at the end of the day.

[@tylergl9272]

Phil Kwon hey my name is Tyler and I am a 48 handicapper and can hit my 7 iron 155 carry but I have only been playing for about 6 months and am 13 years old

[@philkwon81]

hayley leaman 48 handicap? Is that even possible? If so, sounds like you can hit the ball a mile if you're carrying your 7 iron 155. Good for you. Now, just hit it straight and work on your short game!

[@BobDeLellisPhoto]

Thanks Rick & Rob. Great videos!! Whomever the guy was that was bragging about how far he hits his 9 iron, I'd NEVER want to play with him. He sounds like the low handicap golfer that takes it so seriously that he grinds over 18" putts and throws his clubs when he doesn't break 80. Those guys suck all the enjoyment out of playing golf. I'd much rather play with cool guys with no egos. Keep up the good work, guys I know how much time and effort these videos truly take to make. Thanks again. :)

[@BobDeLellisPhoto]

***** Hey Rob. I'm going back and forth between the RSi 2's and the XR Pro's. It appears your were about 2 yards longer, on average, with the XR Pro's (which is insignificant, to me). What are your thoughts on forgiveness on the two? Theoretically, the RSi 2's would be more forgiving on toe hits, which is my more common misshit. Thanks again for the videos. GREAT job.

[@IMon503]

Another good video. I took the demo rsi2 7 iron out on course on Friday and could find no difference in performance compared to my 2014 taylormade cbs.

[@jodyeastwood33]

Rob keep doing your thing homey love your comments

[@robpottergolf]

Thanks Jody

[@Pax217man]

Went to a golf show today and had a chance to test these irons and yes they are really loud when you hit them and it's a very odd sound. Unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of them and they really didn't work for me. I got a chance to hit the ping G30 and the Callaway XR and the XR was by far my favorite. Good to see you Rob, swing looks like it's coming along nicely but miss the beard, haha

[@rawkinlb73]

These are what I went with.I tried every club out there and these blew all of them outta the water.After purchasing them I hit a m2 and thought"uh oh,migh tbe returning the RSI 2's"after hitting htem both,I got close to the same hieght and my rsi2 where a tad longer and accuracy was the same.

[@austinh07]

I bought these clubs, and I have to say, the best mid irons set out there. I have hit the AP2's and the RSI2's are just a better set overall. The face slots do what they are supposed to. The ones I have hit fat are 10-20 yds short vs 20-40 yds with my previous set. Thin shots, toes, and heel shots are the same story. Very forgiving as well

[@DRnikoalias]

Thank You Rob, IMO you have a really nice swing.

[@speedinon]

Can't wait for the the XR review. I'm guessing Rob will like the pro version better...we'll see!

[@cwugrad396]

fair play to the lad. given his injuries he has a very good and well balanced swing. so what if he doesn't hit it a mile - at the end of the day if you can chip and putt that is going to help you score far better than big distances

[@vinerz1962]

Great vid helping me decide which clubs to go for going watch xr vid next Thanks again

[@gmuir6379]

Some guys hits his 9 iron really far! Whoop! What a melon Good review Rob , keep up the good work!

[@davecumber]

Great review guys, I saw these in the store the other day and thought there wasn't much between RSi1 & 2. And Rob, I look forward to your reviews as much as Ricks as it's more relatable to me, it's good to hear your opinions and I've been eager to hear your comparison of the RSi and XRs. I agreed with your comments about the lofts as well, I don't hit it that far and if I can get an iron that is more on a par with everyone else, I don't care how. I sometimes have to play 3 irons lower than some people to get the same distance.

[@robpottergolf]

Cheers pal

[@milancodes]

Robert Potter I like your reviews, we play to the same handicap. Having said that, I went with the RSi1's for this season.

[@stevenpinner2162]

Don't worry about griefers on your distances, tbh though your swing speed looks quicker on video than around the 70s mph listed on the gc2. Maybe if rick could do a video with you on thoughts\things to try and see what would boost your speed (eg. Like more inside path, more handsy release etc.) Like someone said distance isn't everything. If you could test the srixon Z range, would especially like to see if the z945 (blades) can be used by mid handicapper or whether they would have to go with Z745.

[@Bsmithft]

Love it Rob, you are the man. I absolutely love your honesty on the products. Keep up the work!! When can we see you on a course vlog??????

[@robpottergolf]

Did a course vlog with Rick Shiels PGA ***** and Stuart Mason last month. They're on Ricks channel

[@julia-6195]

Hey Rob, love your reviews. Keep them up. You're putting up actual club distances not the "internet club distances" some people put up. And I get to see how forgiving these clubs are and what to put on my short list.

[@robpottergolf]

Thanks Julia. ☺

[@recoverysystems3377]

Great review guys and Rob is the perfect guy for me to me to hear from as Im about the same hcp, im looking to buy these second hand

[@lizpham1210]

Your the man rob I bought the new callaway Xr iorns can't wait to see why you think

[@jeffreydoerr5595]

Rick, I just finished watching Rob's testing of the RSi 1 & 2. Great job Rob. Technically I was wondering why Rob was hitting stiff shafts when his swing speed was basically low 70's? His trajectory would be lower hence shorter carry distance. Just wondering......?

[@wtmk81]

I prefer reviews when rob hits them, cause it's more relatable than when Rick hits it.

[@burner1954]

Rob...Keep up the great work with the videos and don't let anyone bother you when talkin smack! They're just jealous!!!

[@davidsmart6387]

Another great set of review's on the golf clubs rob. Would love to hear your views on the difference between forged heads and normal heads. Never used forged heads but thinking of getting some titleist 714 ap2

[@coolpoppabell4403]

If anybody says anything negative about Rob, I will destroy them.

[@Nathan-sz5fy]

Rob Potter, if anyone's talking shit I've got your back. From Australia, Cheers Mate

[@jakeriley7758]

you finchy and me and my golf are the best youtubers coaching golf

[@STEVEKIRK1958]

Thank Rob... you rock dude.

[@kboudy10]

Thanks Rob!

[@Opticallens]

Hi Rick & Rob, This testing is great for us mid handicappers, is it possible to put in the mix the Cobra Fly Z & the XL irons? All the best and thanks

[@guillaumecharpentier3706]

Hi Rob, out of interest because I just had a hand injury and I've lost distance too. Have you ever consider a graphite shaft. I'm just 40 and other people give you a bit of shit to play with them and say it is for old people. But would graphite shaft increase you distance or you haven't pick them cause the lack of feeling they give

[@Sir_Godz]

get rob on the H5 vs jpx 850 forged and maybe the mp 54 or mp15 as a third

[@jimsulima6703]

Great reviews as always rob and Rick would love to see rob hit diff balls like pro v1 vs dt solo or something see if there is a change in distance

[@profile9114]

what shirt are you wearing Rob?

[@Ryglado]

Great input again, Rob! Keep it real.

[@robpottergolf]

Cheers Rob. Will do

[@robertmotzel8106]

yay rob

[@rickhowarth2825]

Good work rob. Never review try build in a Chorley reference, plenty out there!

[@TheNotorious83]

Where's the Xr test? Can't wait to see that!

[@fredwaterman3633]

Rick, how do you calculate your handicap I am curious to find my handicap out? Thank you!

[@cwugrad396]

joining a club will get you an official one. but you can also get an app for your phone for a few bucks/quid and that will work too

[@rickfoil]

Hi Rob. What kind of shaft were you hitting on that RSI-2? Was it the stock KBS 105?

[@3009briglo]

Rob everyone's a hater when their behind a keyboard! Keep it up love your reviews

[@JAG1651]

Just as a matter of interest. What ball are you using in these vids Rob?

[@ronnie6255]

Needs some trousers which fit maybe do a vid for that?

[@antony29]

Good work Mr potter!!! I think you've helped in choosing my new irons!! Can't wait to try them. Keep up the quality reviews! #ninjaslots😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@vicibox]

Great video Rob and Rick, this has been the best review of RSi irons i have seen by anyone. Just cant believe people are so nasty. Just right click and block them Rob before deleting their posts, it really isn't worth getting upset about such people. Seems to me most people love this stream of reviews and with good reason :-)

[@vicibox]

P.S. I deleted and blocked half a dozen of the nastoids in the last reviews as they turned on me too for supporting you he he

[@kyleiemma8584]

Rob I love the reviews

[@niallmcgarry8506]

Hi rob, seen you say in the comments that you had done a course vlog on ricks channel. What is the name of the video as I can't seem to find it?

[@robertholleyman73]

Rick Please try srixon z 745

[@Earitated07]

Did Rob test the G30 irons?

[@kenher0153]

Great stuff Rob, keep it up

[@robpottergolf]

Thanks Kenny

[@andybullock9123]

Can u let him loose with the mizuno mp h5 would like an average golfer like myself thoughts on it cheers

[@cwugrad396]

should also try the Z545. I hit those at the Seattle Golf Show the other day and they were really outstanding irons. I do love Mizuno but those Srixon irons were superb

[@TXchadTX]

JPX 850 forged rob!

[@robpottergolf]

I just test what I'm given dude ☺

[@niwacompaq124]

where's the next one?

[@rjhicks13b36]

rsi 2 vs ap2 forged?

[@bobbydesjardins4498]

Did Rob die? Why is it taking so long to post the rest of the irons? We get all pumped to watch Rob, one of us hit the clubs and then you play the waiting game..... Not Cool!

[@stubbsn830]

When is the next one Rick/Rob?#XR #Callaway

[@liamf2706]

It looked like you were miss-aiming a bit ( if the centre line on the screen was your target ) your dispertion is ridiculous , I doubt many people could hit it that tight on camera knowing it will be on youtube. I doubt you can hit it that tight on the course Rob. Rob's ( perceived ) lack of length with a 7 iron is irrelevant. If you are 130 carry to the front of the green, then you are using a precise club not a distance club, and Rob was very precise with his shots

[@mcpure9083]

is he using a 7 iron?

[@ts1821]

Rob reminds me of a more reserved Feherety

[@daveharrison1160]

Great review guys whichever idiot is saying he can hit his 9 further etc tell him to do one or I'll send the Leeds lads round 😄

[@chuckyz2]

I have watch the RSI 1 and 2 vids and the Callys. The Callys won over but there was a different shaft. And that could be the difference. It appeared, though you did not mention, that you were using KBS shafts in the Callys compared to the stock shaft in the TM. If you are going to compare manufacturer products, you should do so on an even playing field, don't you think? I mean try to be as scientific as possible to give us a proper realistic difference. You should use the same shafts, that are fit for the tester in all iron comparisons.

[@MrEmpirestate714]

Dobby's chin-strap game tight!

[@Cornwall1888]

I know guys off 1 who shoot in the 60's with big chunky ping g30's, why try to use the least forgiving clubs for your handicap. 'I'm single figures my clubs shouldn't have much offset.' Nonsense.

[@69whitetiger69]

yea i feel you i use my old titleist zb forged irons an 907 d2 driver my whole set is old an ive been under 6 since i got them in like 2007 or around there clubs dont do shit for handicap

[@clayfleming6286]

Low offset clubs should have nothing to do with your handicap, more about how you strike the ball. I play a draw on good days, fight a hook on bad days. Clubs with a lot of offset like the standard XR or RSi1 are hook machines for me. Found the Bridgestone J15DF does a great job of providing forgiveness without much offset.

[@bobbydesjardins5187]

Did Rob die? you have not posted an iron testing video in days!!!!!!!

[@Jake4211-]

I watch all of your club reviews and I love you guys but who is the young lady in pink in the bay next to you and is she single ;-)

[@rossmcgregor5044]

Am I thick,,,you get the carry then run out of 14yds,,,does that not put you through the green!!!

[@1954Salami]

13 handicapper sames to know much about golf than real 13 handicap golfer also have a look to the swing sames to be well advanced than any 13 handicap player.!!!!!!!!!

[@jongeephotography]

Instead of searching for an extra 6 yards out of a $500 set of irons, just move up one set of tees and enjoy the game.....

[@nicholasjeglinski5749]

the rsi irons have to be the most overrated set of irons to date. The so-called slot technology has been around for years. it absolutely sickens me to see everyone worrying about what brand club is in their hands. last time i checked the only way to improve ones game was to CHANGE THE SWING. i still play my rocketbladez and i hit them well. people, stop believing the hype and work on the swing mechanics and stop worrying about useless stuff like face slots.

[@ronaldw.parker3165]

Trying to like this video but TOO much wasted verbage and of my time. Just stick to the facts and less BS..become more succinct!! . Also please tell us the shaft type and flex. Thanks.

[@steveplyler8077]

Amazing, lets get more uncivil, no talk, just the facts, come on be real, you dude are getting this free, lighten up, try being on camera some time and see how you do, I know you are probably scratch, etc. good for you as that means you are out practicing, real talk, no PROMO, an opinion - Enjoy the game, if you are in hurry sorry, skip around on video.
