Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This RUclips channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!
The most important thing about any golf club is getting the nut on the end correctly adjusted.
Sadly, I’m the nut on the end of the club, and I’ve never managed to get properly adjusted

“Is it expensive trash” 😂
Has the feel of a miniature croquet mallet.
Could be a bit on the cheap side. To really take advantage of the club golfer's gullibility, they'd be best doubling it.
😂😂
I would be interested to see a brand develop a two putter system. A light, efficient one designed for for doing short strokes more consistently, and then a more forgiving one for longer ones. Idk if it would actually help, but if it did it’s absolutely worth a slot in the bag. The number of shots per round carrying a 3 wood and a 5 wood or whatever long club actually improves is so small compared to what improved putting could do
These are great points. There is no rule that says you cannot have two putters in your bag, as long as you are under the 14 club limit. Phil Mickelson used two different drivers one year at the Masters! Also, to your point, I have seen people with a hybrid and a lofted fairway metal that fly the same distance or two wedges that are only a couple of degrees difference and have the same bounce and grind (why not just open the face of one a little?). I more traditional putter for longer putts (if you need it) and then this one to make the ones that count! :)
how many extremely long putts are you having per round? lol You could always just buy a longer heavier putter and carry two in your bag. Im just not sure what you mean by developing a two putter system, they already make putters that are easier to hit hard, what would you be looking for?
@@mike-mz6yz I think most putters try to be good for everything, I just wonder what a company might develop if they set with the goal of making two that compliment each other. Not certain it would yield much better results, but it could be interesting. Yes you could go pick out two existing ones that somewhat fit that, but I think new product designed from the ground to could be innovative if they were trying to be more specialized
Except I already do that. I use my Wilson 8802 for long putts, and my LAB B2 for anything within 6'
The really unfortunate thing is... regardless if it is amazing or not, it looks crap for the money.
Honestly I agree with you. However, I would happily play with the ugliest putter in the world if I was draining putts from anywhere on the green.
Kinda prefer it to be ugly, people will doubt you straight away.
This putter doesn’t improve your feel, pace, or aim, so you won’t just magically start draining putts over 15 feet.
Nailed it..
@@Abdullah_Chill Lol I bought a cheap mallet putter from a junk shop for £2 put a new grip on it and I can't miss but although it's virtually a cheating stick I wouldn't be seen dead with it on the green
Everyone is missing the most obvious thing about this putter! There's no way of picking up your ball with it, so you have to bend down to pick up gimmies😮
nobody is gonna gimmie anything if you roll up with that putter xD
That is funny! But, if you have to actually putt those gimmies…this will make more of them go in. I promise!
So it will only impact yanks. Everyone else doesn’t do gimmies
Ever heard of a mallet?
gotta add a ball picker on the handle
It looks like a good “training aid” more so than a club in the bag.
ill be honest, this is an odd request but i would love to see you and other professionals try to drive with this putter....its gonna be amazing
Bryson, tee to green par 3s for sure! He could probably drive it 220or more, if it doesn't break.
People have done tests with ramps that send balls on a perfect line / speed at the hole and some putts STILL miss because they hit a bump or an imperfection in the green. Perfect putters don't exist.
@@dball70 Exactly. It didn't matter what putter he used - and for me personally I wouldn't want one that butt ugly!
Just find one you feel comfortable with and like and then practice 2 putting from various distances.
God bless Seve, but he has shaking his head in disappointment looking down at that "golf" club
Try a 22 hybrid for those long puts, especially off green. It demands the same concentration and really gets the ball up there. Choke up a bit. Would be interesting to see a video of Rick testing this.
American Golf buyer who decided to stock this putter has just been pulled into an office somewhere! 😬
Had a go in American golf. Really liked it. Saw the price n put it down.
Did you spend more than $300 on a driver that only gives marginal improvement over ones made several years ago? The putter is the one that makes the money! :)
@dball70 nope. All my clubs are second hand.
@@keithgrainger8797you gotta find a friend that gets free golf.
It's not advertised as such but I could definitely see it as a useful training aid.
Not really. What good does it do to practice with something totally different than your gamer putter? Different shapes, total weights, swingweight, grip, etc. It would probably make things worse.
Who? Out of his mind charging $300+ for a little machined piece of metal. Also one of the ugliest clubs I've ever seen. I wouldn't even pay $20 for that
Seve connection or not, that putter looks like a piece of trash.
Description from website: highest quality STAINLESS STEEL 303, ensuring durability and precision in every stroke. The two wings, crafted from ALUMINIUM 6061, add to the overall balance and performance of the putter and contributes for better alignment.

@@dball70Seve?
@@onlychangeiscertain LOL, I wish. May he Rest In Peace 🙏
I don't think this review is really fair. I mean i play a decent amount of golf and i probably hit a 60 plus foot putt twice a year lol If the putter can make you sink 1% more of your putts inside 15 feet then it more than makes up for any suffering on insanely long putts. Still i think they could have made it just a tiny bit bigger so that it has at least some margin for error.
I can’t believe they have let this man put the Ballesteros name on this stretched out rubber mallet
I mean.... it is his name, not Seve's, right?
Um…Ivan’s last name is Ballesteros and he designed it. He is Seve’s nephew and they were very close. I think he has the right to use his own name. He’s also quite a good player and teacher.
@@GreenNgold7 In not a case of Letting do anything it's his name which he's fully entitled to put on anything he makes.
Whether he's done it to cash in on his late uncle's reputation is another argument entirely
I’ve yet to see anyone using that lab putter where I think it’s helped them. In a year or two they will be distant memory.
Love the Streamsong hat! It was pleasure to meet you when you visited a few months back. Hope to see you again!
Maybe the concentration on the putt is the point... Maybe you should try using the same concentration with your putter and see what the results are...
Buy a rubber mallet for $5 cut the bottom half flat.
Then drill a hole on top and stick an old putter shaft in.
You're welcome I saved you a bundle. 🤣
Reckon you should have tried the same 7 putts in a line and then 70 foot putts with the LAB putter…..the we might have known for sure!
Seve' was the whole reason I picked up a club. Such a strong competitor.
Ok, if you've watched Rick's putting like I have, then you'd know that IB PUTTER gave him great results on that ladder drill! Put that in your bag Rick! Even the 2/7 misses were great
Right? I was thinking the same thing. He hit 5 great putts out of the gate, then left the 6th one just short and lipped out the 7th. I’ll bet he wouldn’t have made those first 5 with LAB or another putter!
@ricksh. I think the point is to improve shorter puts. IE under 10 ft. If I sunk even 30-50% more of my “short puts” my score would improve drastically. For most people I feel this would apply as well as the fact that most normal golfers puts over 15-20 ft it really doesn’t matter if I use a cobblers mallet or a pool que if I sink them I look at it as having a great day. (I would say I sink on average 3 out of 10 of my puts of 15ft or longer and 5 -7 out of 10 at 14 ft or shorter so to improve my short puts by 30 to 50% would probably better my scorecard by at least 3-5 strokes per 9 holes which would be a huge improvement overall. And I think that is what they where focusing on here
Great perspective. I have shaved putting strokes off my scores since switching to this putter, even in competitions with a lot of pressure. In fact, I make more with this in those situations. That’s the point, isn’t it?
But isn’t that the point? Shouldn’t be more difficult to hit longer putts with it (at first at least)? Wouldn’t help you hit directly on your line? Over time I would imagine it would make your takeaway and follow through almost impeccable. I’m posting this before I’ve even seen Rick hit one ball, so maybe he touches on this point
@@Jus-Too-Smoove precisely I've just started playing again after not playing for 40 years.
Everything now is distance and max forgiveness, and apparently blades are only for pros.
When I learnt to play there was no such thing as a cavity back so I learned to play with blades.
For some reason I still own my fist putter which is a forged steel blade and looks like it timewarped from the 1950s.
I've tried many putters and yet the putter I've had for over 50 years is still in my bag. And although I've now got a set of cavity backed irons I would likely be able to hit just as well with blades. The reason I believe this is when you miss hit blades it hurts if you shank one you won't feel you arm for the rest of the round. You learn very quickly that not hitting center =Numb and throbbing fingers and dead arms so you hit center.
The issue with putting is even if you pick the perfect line and you’re a great putter, there’s always some anomaly on the green that will potentially throw your putt off whether it’s a dip/dent or slight imperfection.
Unless you’re playing some of the best courses in the world, most local municipal greens aren’t perfect.
My local courses greens are atrocious. I’m just happy to get it within a guaranteed tap in. 😂
There's a professional, giving tournament pros persimmon headed clubs, to practise with. Then, when they go back to their massive headed woods, they feel uber confident. This gives me the same vibe!
I can't wait to see the LAB on the course in your bag
If you are not in the centre of any putter then there is a strong chance you will miss the hole. It's a matter of getting used to any new putter because it's all baout feel and confidence that comes from that. The two negatives, visuals and cost.
Was laughing way too hard at the SpongeBob cutaway. I am a child 🤣
This design keep coming back. I remember one back when I was a kid in the late 70s.
And if it is good for short putts but not longer putts, why not carry 2 putters. People carry multiple wedges, irons and woods, don't they?? Why only one putter?
Golf club makers have talked people into thinking they need 2 drivers, tons of wedges, etc., why not talk you into that you need at least 3 putters?! At $300 to $1000 each, that seems like a good business idea to me.
Very valid points. I know some tour pros that could use something that would make more putts inside 6 feet, especially on Sundays! ;)
Being 100% honest, Rick, from the distance you were hitting those last putts, most of us weekend golfers have a better chance at 3-putting than making it or even 2-putting. Put any putter in the hands of a 15 hc player, and the results from that distance will be similar.
With Seve's short game, I guess he didn't leave many long putts
You should check out the Graves Golf Lock n Roll arm/wrist lock putter. I got one and it has really improved my putting.
I have read almost all of the comments on this video so far. There is a common theme that the IB putter is “ugly” and/or it looks like an expensive training aid. As an avid player and someone who plays a lot of great clubs and courses in America, I have seen people spend $600 on a driver that only gives them marginal improvement (if any) and they can only hit it a max of 14 times in a round. BTW, I think some of these new putters are hideous looking but I know people use them for the results and if it works for them and keeps them playing, that is great for the game. These are fundamentally different approaches as the LAB is more about forgiveness while the IB Putter is more about focus. As for being an expensive training aid, I also have seen people spend a lot of money on aids (Trackman, etc.) or lessons with teachers that aren’t that knowledgeable. Even if it is used as just a training aid, if it helps you focus even when you go back to your normal putter, that’s a good thing! That said, I have actually used this putter in regular rounds for a few months now (after just practicing with it for a week or two) and it have found that I am making more putts per round, especially short to mid-range ones under pressure. There is no rule that says you can’t have two putters in your bag (remember Phil Mickelson carried two drivers during one Masters)…and use this one for the “money putts”. Heck, take that 60 degree wedge out and just open the face a bit more on the regular sand wedge or get rid of that extra fairway metal that goes the same distance as your hybrid, and you are good to go with two putters! :)
@@back2back379I am just an advocate for the putter and have gotten to know Ivan. He is a very nice guy who truly believes this will improve people’s game. I have no ownership in the company but don’t like seeing people trash him or the concept without really knowing him or trying it for themselves. We are all here to play better golf! ⛳️🏌️♂️😊
these were genuinely good putts, rolled good too. the size of the head must be the only big let-down.
I agree, his short putts looked really good. He just needed more time on the longer ones. It takes more than 11 minutes to adjust to any putter. Not a really fair review, IMO
@@dball70 totally agree, he went in wanting not to like it.
I will have to disagree with not putting it in bag.I have seen some putters like this before.I think one was called the cube.Head was like a square Lil bigger than the golf ball.To me with basically using something with only the size of the sweetspot means with contact on face it should be a straight roll......aslong as you don't mishit it.Long putts I'd say wouldn't be good but I feel different speed greens can require different weighted putters.
You are totally correct. Although, I don’t have a problem lagging long putts with it either. I have also found it to be helpful from just off a green when up against the collar because it doesn’t have a wide face that catches in the grass. :)
That 'round creates roll' type of putter has come and gone, from a variety of manufacturers.
The first one I tried was in 1993.
It was called the
"Hallo-Way", and was being played, endorsed, and marketed by Nike Tour Professional, Tad Halloway.
The ONLY thing that it did well was impart overspin, which is something most amateurs struggle to do with their putters.
I tried one at American Golf. It seemed pretty forgiving due to its mass. It felt really good. I didn't try long putts, but the price put me off. I quite fancy making one.
Sound feasible to you?
These are the specs of this one: High quality STAINLESS STEEL 303, ensuring durability and precision in every stroke.

iw asjust bringing this up with my brother 10 hours ago today having a putter the size of a golf ball what a coincidence
I made a putter last year from a block of stainless steel that I got free from work.
They also had some round stainless steel bar they were throwing out that i thought would make a croquet mallet style putter After seeing this video I wish I'd have made one as the round bar was more like tennis ball size and would have been better for off centre hits.
The putter I made is a blade style and is deliberately heavy around 375 -380g head weight it's about 50g heavier overall than my SC Tei3.
When he shows the putter from the side, it looks like it says a word but flip it upside down and it actually says the weight of this putter...373 grams which is quite heavy for its small head size.
I use a Bloodline stand-up putter, whose use will be banned in January. (You can use it as a traditional putter, but you can't stand it up.) After several years I guess I'm back in the market. Ugh.
I had the opportunity to play with Ivan in Spain at the course Seve grew up on last year and he had a prototype of this putter. It did not even have the wings on it with extra scoring lines but he made everything with it so I was intrigued. I got one of these which conforms to the rules by the R&A earlier this year and spent a few days practicing with it, hitting short and long putts. I found my putts got better and better the more I used it and my consistency improved. I started taking it out to play casual rounds of golf with it and then competitive events including the Florida State Interclub Finals, Pro-Scratch events (I am an amateur) and a recent event, where we played courses that have recently hosted a U.S. Open and a Ryder Cup. I can tell you that this has made me a better putter and I have had rounds where I have just lit it up on the greens with this and I have had other players, including a lot of pros ask me about it because they have seen me drain a bunch of them from all ranges. The really long putts are a little less comfortable due to a longer back swing but I lag them just as well as I do my Scotty Cameron or Versa 7 mallet style putter. The putts inside 15 feet go in more and the ones inside 4 feet are almost automatic! It appears they were going in here as well even on the first tries so I am not sure why it gets a “no go” rating. Who doesn’t want to make these “money putts”? In my honest opinion, this video is a bit unfair because it takes more time to adjust to such a new design but I promise, after a couple of days of practice a traditional putter will start to feel like the odd one.
Sorry Mr Ballesteros,you are an unreliable witness.
Nice try Ivan
@@matthewgreen1504 LOL. I live in the U.S.
I agree. Any thing you want to evaluate, should be evaluated for more than 10 minutes. Especially a putter that people want to reduce their score or for money. I realize he didn't have a month to spend with the putter.
It's not the putter. It's the Putter.
Try Dave Pelz potter clips. They are very good and will let u know how well u find the sweet spot. And u use your own putter.
we can go to any local hardware and plumbing stores and get parts to make a putter a lot more cheaper.
@Rickshiels, @rickshielsgolfshow how about an episode on ‘if you were to spend £250 or £500 on lessons (instead of a new club), how could that look?’…. E.g… 3 lessons on swing in general, 1 driving, 1 short game, 3 on golf fitness? Let’s balance the equipment with some personal improvement- no pain, no gain 😊
There’s thousands of good second hand putters out there that will do a good job for anyone who can putt. But second hand for £50 or less and then £50 on lessons would bring a better result 👍
I think the thing about it is you can go 90* since its mostly circular and not have to worry about the toe hitting the ground. Try it like a true 90* pendulum
Forces you to hit the put absolutely correct.
That is the idea and it really does make you do that, which means more inertia. This really helps on the short to mid-range putts where players have a tendency to hit it on the toe, especially under pressure.
To use a small putter like that you would need to commit to it for a period of time to get comfortable with it...
Cracks me up - actually surprises me that you »reviewed » this contraption
A lot of negative comments below but I note that Rick got a bunch of putts in the ladder drill - with a putter NEW to him - and yet no one is amazed?
I think we all agree putting is important - very - so perhaps this putter has a place for short putts and carry another putter?
After all putting is 1/3 of golf so 2/14 clubs is ok?
I went back and watched the video again and paid more attention to his putts. His first two were not bad considering he just started with it. In the ladder drill, he hits the first 5 in a row (granted the first one was very short), then had the 6th one in the heart but left it just short and the 7th (longest in the drill and hit after he stopped to talk to camera) lipped out but was pretty much right on line. His next mid range putts were also pretty darn good and then he goes to the super long putts. The one he said he mishit looked like it hit another hole first which is why it was so short. He then got into his own head but despite that, rolled two just about the perfect weight. Contrary to what he says, he actually demonstrated that this worked well for him with very little time invested.
@@dball70 Yep _ The "unbox and test" video format is very common on RUclips, but is fundamentally a bit flawed as it compares the new (therefore unfamiliar) to the familiar ....
Most new things are dismissed for a time - some deservedly so - but some not so deservedly! ... for example I am old enough to remember the derision that the following suffered initially: non-metal spikes, metal woods, graphite shafts, putters that look like spaceships, the claw grip, belly putters, and solid golf balls ... The belly putter was eventually even banned because it was winning majors (3/4 consecutive).
@@QGolfClub Great observations. A product like this is new and intimidating looking, so people have jumped to conclusions and some say it is “trash”. To your point, if the ball goes in the hole more because it makes you focus, especially on the “must make” putts, then what serious player wouldn’t consider it? And your comment about it being 1/3 of shots so being 2/14 clubs is SO logical. After all, people carry multiple wedges and even woods/hybrids that are not providing that much different a shot. One of those could easily go IF they feel they need a different putter for long putts, but I actually think with some practice, this could be the only one needed in the bag anyway!
I don’t have this putter, but I have an old acuity putter. 100% face balanced and heavy.
The way I use it is bringing it back to “%” that I think it needs, and just letting the head weight do the swing for me. Honestly much better consistency than my odyssey redball putter.
@@turbonerd3075 same I just made a putter based on my usual putter but made it about 50g heavier
Seve Ballesteros... pronounced Sebe Bayesteeross. Just my old, sorry 😂
Maybe useful as a training aid for the rich and famous. But I can create a training aid that focuses your attention on hitting the center, with your own putter and two lumps of Blu Tack, for about 5 cents.
The fact that I would never be able to afford to test any of these gimmick clubs make me enjoys these videos a lot. Thanks!
Might have helped Rory about 6 weeks ago!
As someone who has had to make little sliders under pressure with this putter, I was thinking the same thing when I watched the final hole of U.S. Open. When they showed a close up of Rory’s putt on 18 (which was a more difficult putt than many people realize), you could see he hit it a bit on the toe and that’s probably why it lost speed and missed low. Because this putter makes you focus so much, you are more likely to hit it solid and keep the inertia that while hold the line.
When you are on the course, playing a round, you take the time to line up the puts with the line on the ball. With this putter, I didn't see that. I would think with this putter I would think that would need to be paramount.
So carry two putters - one for short one for long
As soon as you his that long putt left that was it for me. 😅
@@SpedSpedding But this is Rick he can do that with any putter.
"Yeah, give me that putter with zero MOI, that's the ticket!"
😂😂
Seve used a putter like this I seem to remember?
Wouldn’t want the yips with that putter
😂
A spongebob meme inside of a Rick Shiels video.....my god. It's beautiful.
Wait what? What a weird review?!?! I am new to this guy’s channel but he is pretty contradictory! I mean I am guessing he has some deal with Lab for sure. For starters, it’s called a "Sweet Spot" putter so testing it straight away and giving instant thoughts is nuts, it is of course going to be different. I would give my right arm for a putter that makes me focus and putt 5/7 of those ladder drill putts!!!!
Also isn’t that the point...a putter that means your putting improves ten fold, instead of looking for a putter that will allow you to be sloppy and loose?
I get that it’s different than a Lab or a traditional putter but I am sure Ivan Ballesteros knew what he was designing. I am sure Seve would have made room in his bag for a putter that will deliver those money putts. After all, he used to tie a club head to a branch with twine and practice hitting balls on the beach.
Actually, kind of disrespectful to Seve and Ivan as well if I am honest. I mean considering this guy’s long putts (inconsistent and erratic) and his self appointed golf expertise. How about instead of knee jerk reaction but be professional.
I am not sure this review should be really considered. Not only does the reviewer waffle, contradict himself but he actually proved the sweet spot putter’s value. He even says this may be the best putter I ever used after five putts. Then ignores the result and says it’s a no as a putter.
I guarantee if that guy played six months with the IB he would be a better player by a mile.
I found this video and better explains the putter
ruclips.net/video/xnCH_h90wgM/видео.htmlfeature=shared

Well, considering the shaft and head form a 90 degree angle...
I would say it makes you focus more on the line.to expensive tho
I have made more money due to making those key putts under pressure with these in my matches. It has paid for itself several times over in just the past few months for me! :)
Putter face on putter hole action is the content I never knew i needed.
You’ve just killed it - and rightly so
Both putters look ridiculous tbh. But each to their own
I was going to say…while the IB putter looks strange because of it’s unique cylindrical design, that LAB putter is disgusting, IMO. I hate that so many alleged “good players” are using them. It’s starting to look like those Rodney Dangerfield (CaddyShack reference) putters on tour! :(
@@dball70 totally agree. When you think golfers 30+ years ago were using napa style blade putters or the normal blades & their putting was just as good as today.
that was invented 35 years ago as a practice aid, i had one , old news
Straight Shotz Roll would smoke that thing
At least we know what they did to recycle the LAB cut out
The last thing you want when putting is not feeling confident. Makes for a great training aid though.
We need ur review on this new top golf driver 😂
Could the key to unlocking the full potential of this club be using a side saddle putting style?
I'm convinced that you've tried every unique putter😅
I've tried this a couple times in American golf. One thing for sure though it feels amazing while putting. But completely agree to expensive
It is high quality. The newest drivers cost $500+ and people pay it to gain 5-10 more yards. Drive for show…putt for dough! :)
@dball70 as high quality as it feels in the hand. And it does feel amazing in hand me personally I couldn't use it in course due to its size. Same would apply to a small driver or iron. Im Just not skilled enough or confident enough to use it on course unfortunately
@@nellynelson9387That is fair. It is definitely a very different approach, but it’s good to have options in the industry, right? :)
Oh no completely agree it will definitely work for some people. I'm not slating the product as it feels amazing when hitting and you can feel the quality in your hands and the weight is amazing in it too
I tried this putter out in American Golf… It is a gimmick! If you have the slightest off-centre hit with it, it misses the target by a country mile. I once bought two wedges from MD Golf because of them having Seve Ballesteros's signature on them, they two turned out to be expensive gimmicks. Once bitten twice shy… Believe me, if it ain't got the quality branding name on it, it ain't worth the purchase… I’d be reluctant to part with 349 washers for that putter 😂
After a gift voucher and membership discount my Putter cost me AU$35(18 pounds) brand new. Tour Edge Eden soft feel. Ever heard of it? Nope! Me neither.
But It's a beauty and it gets the ball in the hole. I will 3 putt once or twice a round, but that is due mostly to proximity to hole.
This putter gives players the ability to top, shank and chunk putts to be consistent with the rest of their game.
I see the vision, and get the idea. But the price and style makes no sense for an average player. So it falls short on marketing. I feel like if you put more trust in the natural swing, it would help with longer puts, but nothing past 20ft. If it's setup like an engineered pendulum, then all you need to do is swing it as such, with some practice wouldn't be too hard, but that's a lot of focus on one very small part on the overall scheme of just putting. I feel like it'll be seen around, but it's not getting traction with your every day golfer
So it's just a different version of the hammer putter.
Check Tony Finau's Ping Mini putter, it's kinda same
“None of them are great and none of them are terrible, they’re just ok”….we know Rick, we know. Might be the golfer…
If you aren't lining up the putt, you're only setting up to get pace of green.
