Hey Rick would love to win the Titleist 917 D3 driver. I have been a long term supporter and love your content that you post. I am really in need of new driver but cannot afford the price of a new driver. Thanks for the videos Rick.
Hi Rick great vlog as always, I have the Ping G 400 max and it’s made a massive difference to my game have dropped down to 9 and won loads of comps well done Ping 👌
Mr. Shiels, I am beginning to appreciate much more your interest in teaching golfers about equipment and the functionality of the designs as I watch more of your videos. I am sort of a new follower and believer in Shiels and Pete's escapades. Golf Duffers like me are hungry to learn more about how to play what is in our bags with better performance. And also why the club performs better. It is nice to be able to make an occasional shot like you and Pete do on the course. Please keep up the good efforts to teach and entertain us.

Hey rick I really loved this list! Why don’t you make a kids set/clubs list? The cobra f8 is the driver that if I needed one I would buy because I love the cobra connect on it!
i seen a guy at my range killing it with kids clubs showing his little boy how to swing. Theyre just saying maybe he could make a list of kids clubs that would be worth it and maybe clubs that wont break the bank since they wont have them long
They are. If you see MyGolfSpy's annual driver testing you'll notice all the major OEM drivers are within a couple of yards in terms of average distance and left/right dispersion. For all intents and purposes they are all identical except for sound and looks.
"For all intents and purposes they are all identical except for sound and looks." This!! The weight and shaft is what will matter. Its a joke he tests these with pretty much zero fitting and right off the rack. The reviews people do online literally mean close to nothing! Go find a club you think looks and sounds good and get fitted for it.
TheeFreakiishlyz That's absolutely not true. The real measurable differences between clubs that are properly equipped with your shaft style is as near zero as it can be.
I love it too. But the blue does turn a lot of people off. Rick is 100% correct, if they just offered an alternative colour they could increase market share.
Let me just say, I just bought the Cobra F8 and it is absolute money. I am a +1.3 handicap and have played a Titleist 915 D3 for the past 3 years. I have brought it out to my home club and have gained at least 12 yards and the heel/low face strikes, which are my misses, go as far as a solid strike on my 915. I highly recommend the Cobra F8 for anyone that is in the market.
I love the Taylormade M3. I’ve been playing with the R15 and am a huge Taylormade fan. Getting all 4 of my kids into golf has been so much fun and they enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming Rick, your the best.
Yeah I'm sure all those drivers are great and offer a degree of forgiveness but people need to be made aware that they still need to execute PROPER TECHNIQUE to benefit from the forgiveness. No matter how much forgiveness it says it has, you can still create ugly hooks and slices with poor technique.
Improved my handicap 1,7 points in 1 month by buying the p790 irons that Rick recommended. Now it is time to try top1 driver, the ping g400 Max. Love your reviews. Thanks!
Kevin Lu l Storm Chasing , I love my M3, not any longer than the Callaway I was hitting but more control. I also like the feel. Callaway was loud, the M3 is solid feeling and softer sounding.
+madskrillz - Low spinning drivers are what low handicappers crave for. In terms of consistency, different drivers don't make a different. The two big things that matters is the forgiveness and spin.
I've come across a bunch of your reviews in my search for a new driver. You put a lot of detail and personal experience into your videos....which I've found to be quite helpful and relevant. I am looking at picking up the Ping G400 Max driver - partly due to your review and also the results that I had testing many of these top 10 drivers head to head in the simulator. Appreciate all the effort you put into your reviews. Cheers.
The sound of a driver is just... one of the best thing in the world.Would love to test drive the Cobra F8, I have the F7 right now and Cobra is just great all-around. Great video Rick!
Thank you for the awesome reviews, lessons, and game play. Love your channel. I’d love to have the Callaway Rogue because it looks awesome, sounds great, and looks fairly forgiving.
Hadn't bought a new driver in 6 years until this year.... Almost bought the Mizuno st180... Sound was a bit loud for me. Loved the blue. Ended up going with the standard Rogue. Absolutely love it. My club builder doesn't carry ping but I wish I could have tried them.
Really enjoyed the list. As someone who isn't as knowledgeable in all the different clubs I would appreciate you adding the prices of the clubs. You often mention that the price does affect its rank so I think it would be nice as it gives someone like me an idea of the actual price-value ratio. I would pick the Ping G400 as it combines range with forgiveness; plus it is such a clean looking head.
Couldn’t agree more, tried a few on this list when choosing a new driver this year and nothing made me want to get change my ping g driver, until the g400 max! So forgiving, definitely my go to club. Love it.
I just recently bought the PingG400 Max. While I understand that Rick's listing is subjective, it does feel good to have a pro backing up your own decision making.

PING G400 Max...because you say it's the best.
Hey Rick would love to win the Titleist 917 D3 driver. I have been a long term supporter and love your content that you post. I am really in need of new driver but cannot afford the price of a new driver. Thanks for the videos Rick.
The Titleist 917 D2. I've always been a fan of Titleist. It's not the most forgiving but it's all about what club makes you want to hit it more. 😀
Rick Shiels Golf finally the ST180 in top 3. I want it I love it. Please give it to me
I'd pick the Wilson, mostly because of the color!!
Another solid showing for Ping on Rick's Best Of lists. Their product cycle, product quality and product offerings are really well done.
Hi Rick great vlog as always, I have the Ping G 400 max and it’s made a massive difference to my game have dropped down to 9 and won loads of comps well done Ping 👌
Drive for show
Putt for ......
Always a spot for the Cleveland Launcher! I didn’t realize they still made those.. excellent video.
Showing some Mizuno love! Nice!
Rick Gonzales love it

Great video Rick! I just purchased the Ping G400 Max and absolutely love it. Great choice!
these are the videos i love the most
thank you
It's the Callaway Rogue for me. Lovely looking thing...
Always love your videos Rick, always appreciate your point of view
Hey rick I really loved this list! Why don’t you make a kids set/clubs list? The cobra f8 is the driver that if I needed one I would buy because I love the cobra connect on it!
Cinnamon the chill cat do you expect him to test kids clubs?
i seen a guy at my range killing it with kids clubs showing his little boy how to swing. Theyre just saying maybe he could make a list of kids clubs that would be worth it and maybe clubs that wont break the bank since they wont have them long
I have been watching your videos nonstop. Your collaboration with peter finch is awesome you guys have so much fun together. Keep it up man!
love my 400 max , great club
Thanks for these types of videos Rick! Blessings!
Would happily put any of those in my bag
Great job Rick, love these videos.
Mizuno ST180 is by far the best driver I have ever played with. Plus with all the free shaft upgrades you can't go wrong for it's price point!
Great video! I got very excited when I saw this video pop up on my feed!!
I agree, the G400 Max is in my bag!
do you still have it i was thinking about getting one used how has it kept up over the past 2 years.
@@robd1811 Nah, moved on to the G410 +
Always love these top 10 videos
So I guess every Driver is SUPERB 😂

Every club is different for everyone else

great information rick thanks! your videos have really helped my game!
The ping g400 has turbulators, got turbulators, got turbulators.
Pursu 3008 hand brack
Anything that has turbo is awesome!!
Another great video Rick.
I really like the looks of the Mizuno!!
I love it too. But the blue does turn a lot of people off. Rick is 100% correct, if they just offered an alternative colour they could increase market share.

my choice was st 180,, but~ mizuno should be release matt black crown ,,
Been watching lots of your videos lately. good work.
#1KCLUB hey rick! I would love the Ping G400 Max driver because I have a 13 year old driver and I haven’t upgraded it yet. Keep up the good work!
Thnx for great input to my hunt for a new driver.
#1KCLUB
Ping G400 Max Driver. It's simply Amazing.
Great video Rick. Love your stuff.
I really thought rogue was going to win it all
Great stuff Rick, thanks!!
#1KClub
I would love the Ping G400 Max because it just looks incredible!
I love the Taylormade M3. I’ve been playing with the R15 and am a huge Taylormade fan. Getting all 4 of my kids into golf has been so much fun and they enjoy watching your videos. Keep them coming Rick, your the best.
I love cobra drivers #1KCLUB
I bought a G400 Max, partly based on your review / recommendation...and am very happy with it...thanks!!
Love to have a ping g400 max , I need the forgiveness lol
Great list Rick! Now I have a shopping list for Christmas.
Yeah I'm sure all those drivers are great and offer a degree of forgiveness but people need to be made aware that they still need to execute PROPER TECHNIQUE to benefit from the forgiveness. No matter how much forgiveness it says it has, you can still create ugly hooks and slices with poor technique.

Taylormade m3
Great video as always Rick.
how can u rank a CLEVELAND driver over titliest 😂😂😂
Think you said the word “Superb” for every single driver. Love your stuff keep it up
M3 feels like trash. PXG is awesome, but requires higher loft.
PXG is overpriced, overhyped, extremely average, junk.
The lowest spinning driver is not junk. With the correct loft, it is the longest driver of all.
Kevin Lu l Storm Chasing , I love my M3, not any longer than the Callaway I was hitting but more control. I also like the feel. Callaway was loud, the M3
is solid feeling and softer sounding.
Kevin Lu l Storm Chasing lowest spinning and long doesn't makd it good. Still trash
+madskrillz - Low spinning drivers are what low handicappers crave for. In terms of consistency, different drivers don't make a different. The two big things that matters is the forgiveness and spin.
Great video as always Rick good job
Great video Rick! 16 handicap, I bought the Rogue standard this year and added 20 yards to my average!
Thanks for your videos
Literally ordered a g400 LST a week before this video came out, feeling even happier about it now!

Just purchased the G400 MAX, absolutely love it
I like that you’ve included some of the lesser known manufacturers 👍🏻
The sound of a driver is just... one of the best thing in the world.Would love to test drive the Cobra F8, I have the F7 right now and Cobra is just great all-around.
Great video Rick!
Its gotta be the Ping G400 MAX Driver! loving the distance and the forgiveness plus those fins on the top make it look awesome
TaylorMade M3 it looks beautiful I am a young golfer new to golf and i have always loved TaylorMade. Another great video Rick
Great video as always
I switched from Epic to G400 max about 2 months ago and I love it.
Fantastic video Rick!
Another great video. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the awesome reviews, lessons, and game play. Love your channel. I’d love to have the Callaway Rogue because it looks awesome, sounds great, and looks fairly forgiving.

Great video Rick, Ping always seems to nail the great looks category with every club.
Mizuno st180 love the performance and that blue looks soooooooo sharp.
Great list. Now know which drivers I need to try as am upgrading soon.
Been in the market for a new driver. This video helps a lot, thanks Rick!! 👍👍

YES!! I have a G400 Max and I absolutely love it.
Great vlog as usual Rick, keep up the good work
Great video mate!
Great video. I like the top 10's much more than top 3
Love your videos Rick, keep up with the excellent work!
Cobra King F8 as I've always been a fan of their irons and it's great to see them delivering in the woods.
Nice to see the top 5 were unpredictable, makes me want to test them now ... Thanks Rick 👌👌
Couldn’t agree more, tried a few on this list when choosing a new driver this year and nothing made me want to get change my ping g driver, until the g400 max! So forgiving, definitely my go to club. Love it.
Great Video and Great rankings
Love this video!
Callaway Rogue. I just love the look!
Can't argue with that list Rick. Good to see some of the lesser purchased drivers in the list such as the Wilson and the Mizuno
These are all great drivers... Comes down to look, sound and feel.
I just recently bought the PingG400 Max. While I understand that Rick's listing is subjective, it does feel good to have a pro backing up your own decision making.
Great video!!!
Great list, Rick! Keep up the great content! Cheers
Loved the video! Only wish it had price ranges/aproximates
Thanks for this list, looking for a new driver and thinking the Rogue SZ or the G400 Max. Need to go hit them and see which one suits me best.
love those top 10 videos
Great job Rick. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see you on Driver vs. Driver in the fall!
Taylormade M3, looks great and the adjustability is incredible!
Happy to see my Cobra F8 at number 4!!! Loving the driver and great video Rick!
Great video! I am a huge fan of the pxg 0811x driver! It looks great and the performance seems great.
Great video rick!!!
I’m still using my D13 driver, but that Ping looks and feels amazing! Love these videos!
