I use 30-year old Accuform bladed irons. They are tiny and they remain the best golf clubs I have ever used to hit a ball. After all these years you can still feel the quote knife going through butter softness. It feels like the ball melts into the club face before reaching it's target. These clubs are absolutely astounding, and it's a shame they are no longer around. I can't remember who, but a prominent tour player swears to this day that Accuform irons were the best clubs he ever used. p.s. Obviously you need to know how to swing a club, but if you do, try to get your hands on Accuform irons. I would love to get your feedback.

[@seanscanlon9067]

Beginners or youngsters seem to have a built in fear of the club flying out of their hands when hitting a shot and so grip the club so tight that anything not out of the sweet spot shoots right up to the hands. To measure how tight you should grip the club, imagine you are taking a swing while holding a tube of toothpaste with the cap off and not squeezing any out.

I've always wondered about that....your idea of using a tiny, zero forgiveness blade set just for practice. It sounds like a great idea! When I was a young Junior Golfer in the 90's, I used an old set of Faultless Lee Trevino blades until I was 16 and had saved up enough money to get Ping Eye II's. I really believe my ball striking was much better back then, with the old blades. I do know that it was around that time that my improving seemed to slow down and then at age 18 it stopped. I'm not certain if the switch from demanding blades, to perimeter weighted offset clubs was the culprit, but I've always wondered???

I started playing as a junior n the early 90s with Persimmon Woods and old Wilson blades and I remember a shot off the toe went nowhere. I still got into the low 80s and high 70s somehow.

@@PongGod Well there have been test made by other YT-golf pros about how much the drop-off is between misshits of chunky game improvement irons and blades. And the biggest differens is a hotter face, thus meaning that generally game-improvement irons create a faster ball speed. Missing the sweedspot yields about the same loff of energy about 10%... So you really don't miss a lot of distance compared to a perfect hit. I know a lot of people who believes the nonsense that you need to be some kind of pro to play them... Even pros believe it... Kevin Na for instance. Which is absurd. Howerver, there is a huge difference between modern blades and blades made before 1990... there you loose alot of ball speed even from center hits.

why tho?

[@timothydaniels504]

Golf,” said Winston Churchill, “is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.” He was talking about these clubs!

[@madhasher4711]

9:44 onwards is just GOLD 🤣 Cheers Rick!!

[@kenpowers3206]

I'm 63 and grew up with these beautiful butter knifes. (Wilson-Staffs). You kept missing left, because you had the toe closed (very slightly). Correct that and you will be on target. But the way Ricky has been playing lately he can't hit them either. Well done!

[@TheLandShark3]

Those clubs are still bigger than my Ben Hogan Sabers

[@flower2289]

Do you know when those Sabers were manufactured? Thanks.

[@papashuk26]

Ahh, ye forget the path of the improving golfer me lad! That’s how us everyday folk play the game😂

[@UnLikeU]

3:01 Before he hits his 1st shot. Thank me later...

[@obrien8228]

Really shows how those guys are just on a different level

[@Damudean]

I learnt with blades, and yes I hated cold mornings and thining my shot.

Rick Shiels: These the most unforgiving, daunting irons I've ever seen. Ram FX Tour Grinds: Hold my beer.

Tommy Armour "Diamond Backs" The soles on those babies were about half as wide as these Cobra's and just as small overall. I wish I would have kept them just to amaze myself how I was ever able to enjoy playing golf with them. lol

[@pb12661]

@@godsdozer yep, they qualify. Back in the day, I went to the store with a friend who was buying a set of these. He still has them too! Those were some pretty irons though...no doubt about it.

Those Rams will saw your hands off if you’re not careful

when you say you’re scared, what are you scared of?

lol... time to 'nut up'!

[@Balvenie21]

Exactly I dont get it either

[@Cjack1985]

The “RS” on them stands for “Rick Shiels” right?

[@xtravagentk1275]

The "RS" where?

[@JJGuccione]

Rick, scratch golfers years ago playing blades, e.g., Wilson Staff Dyna-Power, would have wear marks about the size of a quarter not in the middle of the face but closer to the hosel. The sweet spot on blades is actually closer to the hosel for the lack of perimeter weighting. Give it another go and try to keep that fact in mind. Great VDO - Their looks are righteous.

[@coffeekhan]

My goodness those irons are beautiful!!! Talk about love at first sight!

[@R_J_G]

Fowler’s finishes lately, he can’t hit them either.

I don't know, with Rickie not having won in a while, making clubs like these doesn't seem like the logical next step.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

When he had a lead...Ricky Foul-up😏

[@kalebkulp6782]

Oh great.. now I can hit the ball even straighter. Straight out of bounds that is

[@dkorody81]

They are the most beautiful irons I've ever seen.

[@rlitster]

Pretty much how I hit most iron shots. Anywhere except where I’d like it to go 🙈 nice looking set of irons. Cobra clubs really do look the business!

Rickie Flower is "only" #56 in the world. He could use more forgiveness.

[@josegabrielfarias2899]

Only a month later he is ranked #90

[@lkae4]

@@josegabrielfarias2899 101 right now. Rickie needs more forgiving irons.

[@pgastar05]

Fowler needs to go back to his old equipment. He hasn’t been in contention in years

[@willvm4059]

Fun fact: My first irons were blades that were smaller than the ball. The youth of today don't know how good they have it...

[@jhaz89]

Well those were trash then

[@JT-xs4br]

It’s good to be the king! Some definite benefits of having 1.5 million followers, golf manufacturers send you a set of limited edition (1/250 in the UK) irons to try out. Enjoy and congrats!

[@petermcgill1315]

A great lesson on good these pros really are... after getting down to single figures, I thought I was ready for a ‘better set of irons’... luckily the pro set me straight. I just don’t find the middle often enough... if at all. i200s to the rescue!
