That was very unexpected and you're right. I love hacksawing PRO V1's I find at the range (i replace them with a real one, just something I do) most of them are fakes.
When you think about it, the more you slice it, the better angle you get from the other fairway to get over the trees. See.... golf is all about perspective. 😂
Their strength has always been in the manufacture of golf clubs, not golf balls. Titleist have dominated the ball market, so why should Ping try and corner a market they have little chance of winning.
@@peterlewis3540 they should release like anniversary golf ball every once in a while that doesn’t even have to be good. They’d sell a shit ton and people wouldn’t even care how they played
In the US back in the 1980s, Ping ran a promotion with junior golf lessons and you would get to pick out a new color of the Ping balls at the lesson each week. They were definitely a highlight of the lessons and I've still got quite a few from that collection today. Those were the original Ping Eye which had a more primitive dimple pattern than the Eye 2 . I remember them having that incredibly soft feel, probably an 80 compression or so and even played them in a few junior golf tournaments. Many courses had them printed with their course logo but they disappeared pretty quickly after a few years of popularity. It seemed like there was a significant gap, maybe 5-7 years before the Eye 2 version popped up which was a thrill to see as a kid but they disappeared quickly as well. I do remember the issues with both tracking them in the air and finding them in the rough. The original yellow/orange combo was probably the easiest to spot.
8:13 I'm pretty sure this is the third straight video at this course that you've been over there and had to hit over those trees. This one and both videos with James.
Rick: I’m not sure if I can bring myself to cut this in half having spent £25 on each ball Also Rick: Brings set of cutters to the golf course, just like everyone does for a round of golf 😂
I used to have 5 dozen of these. Brand new and I lost all 5 dozen during my first few years as a junior golfer between 2009 and 2011. Made a switch to Srixon since them but I really wish PING would remake these balls. I was always in love with the color scheme.
You ever just find yourself smiling at a video, this brought back good memories! I remember finding these all the time when looking for golf balls as a kid. Nice video Rick brought a smile to my wee face 😁
My driving has improved so much thanks to your tutorials, managed 7 holes this evening at my local course and I've never been as consistent. Can't big you up enough Rick.
@@DavidHarris-cn7ew If I lost them there, I'd come back after the round to find my car had rolled into the nearest water hazard. Can't fight destiny I suppose
Thanks for the great content, Rick! Those bring some memories back from my early days in golf and I've just found 2 unused ones in my collection. They'll always stand out! :-)
@@koda4247 literally stopped the video at 1:44 to say "come on Rick, we KNOW you're gonna chop it in half......pfffft" but will he? Ok back to the video.
Now that the master Rick Shields has given Ping golfballs a good review Ping will probably bring back a newer version of that golfball. Rick so many have followed what you do but you are head and shoulders above everyone else. Absolutely the best at what you do.
Would be cool to see on screen stats like a mini map of the current hole, stroke count, and club in hand. Already great filming and post-production skills, as always!
Have one in my golf bag for luck - plum / white, bought it from the pro shop at pebble beach as a kid in the 80's, its stamped with the pebble beach logo too!
*Rick talking about not wanting to hit it poorly and lose the ball* Me: *Thinking of Rick’s video about positive thinking and picturing what a good shot looks like* Rick: Hits it far right.
I only ever bought one Ping ball and I still have it! Never been hit outside, I've always used it indoors on the putting mat. Very good for checking your stroke. Great vid Rick.
Another great video Rick. Thank you ! I’ve been playing the new Srixon Q Star Tour Divide yellow/red balls and I love them. I use to play the Ping eye 2 yellow/red back in the day and still have some that I used on the putting green until Srixon divide came out here in NewHampshire USA. Cheers !
7:52 today, Rick has finally entered into my world of golf. Welcome friend, let us together rain down terror from the next hole over. Today, Augusta. Tomorrow, the world.
I'm an older guy, I started playing in 1995. Used to see those around some, I've never seen anyone playing them. I thought they were just for practice putting. Just started watching your stuff, really enjoy your enthusiasm and attitude. Keep it up.
Nostalgia for me to see this golf ball being reviewed and hit. Years ago in the 90’s I played the Titleist balata ball and enjoyed playing it. My one beef about it was it was easily scuffed and sometimes out of round. I bought the white Ping ball and really liked it for its distance & softness. I think I still have a sleeve of the 2 color ball. I’ll have to look for it now after this video.
Weird how I didn't watch any golf videos ever, but suddenly I go to the driving range and youtube starts recommending golf videos. Tracking/analytic cookies etc are crazy, now I have a new favourite youtuber because of it
Love the video Rick, funny every year we hear faster, longer, better in everything thing in golf and a 25 year old ball looks to perform as good as any on the market now 😂
I remember having a purple and white Ping ball from way back in the day. Probably explains why I was so excited to get some of the New Srixon Q-Star Tour Divide balls; which are quite fantastic.
You can genuinely see a new spark of joy in your game mate! From playing, discussing your approach, putting, everything bud! Just shows that the little things can really make a difference psychologically in your game! I reckon you should bring one out to play a round with on occasions. Reminds you how much you can enjoy golf 👌🏻 And they look awesome haha! Great video as always buddy ✌🏻
Never played a game of golf, never watched a game of golf, hell I think I only know one famous golfer! But your videos are really really entertaining! Kudos!
Another top video Rick. You’re right Ping should get back on the ball market, they’d sell a shed load i recon. Interesting review and good tunes at the end too. Enjoyed that one cheers 👍
I like the old school golf balls, I was surprised how well they preformed. And to see the inside of that one shocked me for sure. They don’t make them like use to, I think your right Rick, ping should go back to making golf balls, I sure a lot of golfers would try them out, haven’t seen you so excited about a golf ball in a long time.
Awesome Rick! As a young golfer I remember buying the Red/Blue one in the Pro Shop before a round. Didn't lose it on the course, but no clue what happened to it.
I am old enough to remember golf balls with wound elastic around a rubbery core with paint inside. We used to love slicing up old "tatties" (balls too cut up to be usable) and watching the elastic fly as it released.

Got to be the best ball cut this channel has ever had!

Great thing about Rick is he has a childlike optimism about every experiment he does
He’s just having so much fun out there, even cracking up at finishing for bogey. I love it
"The good news is, I'm not in the trees because there's no trees in the next fairway"
Probably about half of my tee shots
When you think about it, the more you slice it, the better angle you get from the other fairway to get over the trees. See.... golf is all about perspective. 😂
Hahahaha mate I feel ya 🤣🤣
I wish my course was like that Cole. Beyond the trees on most holes on my course are more trees, or creeks and rivers :(
By chopping one in half you increased the value of all the others left in the world.
Yep
Fr
Llöp
i usually just hit with whatever i find in the woods after hitting my TopFlite 200 yards into the forest
surprised Ping no longer has golf balls to sell considering they are the most profitable product in golf
Pretty sure Ping are the last family owned major golf manufacturer. Good on you Solheim's!
Their strength has always been in the manufacture of golf clubs, not golf balls.
Titleist have dominated the ball market, so why should Ping try and corner a market they have little chance of winning.

30 years ago looking for golf balls on Bury Golf club UK. The half coloured balls were the holy grail, found 3 in 5 years of looking.
In the US back in the 1980s, Ping ran a promotion with junior golf lessons and you would get to pick out a new color of the Ping balls at the lesson each week. They were definitely a highlight of the lessons and I've still got quite a few from that collection today. Those were the original Ping Eye which had a more primitive dimple pattern than the Eye 2 .

You know it’s gonna be a good day when Rick uploads and makes you feel bad about your golfing setup.
I think it might be impossible to get as good of a setup as his
8:13 I'm pretty sure this is the third straight video at this course that you've been over there and had to hit over those trees. This one and both videos with James.
Rick: I’m not sure if I can bring myself to cut this in half having spent £25 on each ball
Also Rick: Brings set of cutters to the golf course, just like everyone does for a round of golf 😂
Part of ricks must have items for a round of golf 🤣
Ofcourse, I cut open noodles to see if they have real noodles inside.
@@daniel1987son only Rick lol
He only brings the cutters when he's reviewing a golf ball.
@@CharlieAUS dude its a joke
Sounds like this was a video that Rick really enjoyed making
Love the content Rick! You keep me entertained while working and the Podcast keeps me while driving. Keep it up brother
I used to have 5 dozen of these. Brand new and I lost all 5 dozen during my first few years as a junior golfer between 2009 and 2011. Made a switch to Srixon since them but I really wish PING would remake these balls. I was always in love with the color scheme.
I found a really old Spalding ball on the range, and the contact feels more pure than any other golf ball I have used.
Are you sure it was old? Spalding is making new balls again :)
You ever just find yourself smiling at a video, this brought back good memories! I remember finding these all the time when looking for golf balls as a kid. Nice video Rick brought a smile to my wee face 😁
I bought the Srixon duos. They really did help my putting alignment. Felt pretty nice too for a 3 pc ball.
4;)
I’m waiting for these balls to be released in Australia
Love them
My driving has improved so much thanks to your tutorials, managed 7 holes this evening at my local course and I've never been as consistent. Can't big you up enough Rick.
If I lose $4 balls on my first tee shot, I'd probably lose these on the putting green
i lose mine in the car
@@DavidHarris-cn7ew If I lost them there, I'd come back after the round to find my car had rolled into the nearest water hazard. Can't fight destiny I suppose
🤣
I use range balls....and still get sad when I loose those
@@Cmcmillen77 you know range balls travel about 15% less distance than proper golf balls though?
Has anyone noticed that the last couple videos Rick had ended up in the same place by the trees 3 times 😂😂.
This is where he hit the branch vs James Robinson!
Thanks for the great content, Rick! Those bring some memories back from my early days in golf and I've just found 2 unused ones in my collection. They'll always stand out! :-)
If you don’t chop one in half, you’ve failed us all Rick!
Some things just can't be undone.
@@koda4247 literally stopped the video at 1:44 to say "come on Rick, we KNOW you're gonna chop it in half......pfffft" but will he? Ok back to the video.
Let’s see if he can actually cut the ball along the color split line.
@@scottmackey4182 Rick is to clever to do something so obvious, he went against the split. Dude knows how to blow minds like that :)
but he did
Classy product placement with tee placement Rick, very subtle ;)
You helped me with my swing for your other video about how to correct a slice. Thank you! Love this video wish I could get some two tones balls!
Ha ha ha. Proper old school. As a kid we used to try n chop golf balls in half to see what was inside! Took me back!
Yeah with a kitchen knife 😂. Check out our channel if you wouldn’t mind my man. Some golf vibeeez for the masses 🤟🏻⛳️

Kids at school would talk in hushed tones about how some lad in Mr Windsor's class had apparently found a ping ball around Hallowes Golf Club.
I really enjoyed this video Rick. I really loved how you gushed over these, it was adorable. Awesome vid!
I remember finding those balls in the woods when I was young...
Thanks for that close up putt. Loved to watch it roll
I haven’t even gotten past the ads before I liked the video, because it is a Rick Shiels video after all.
Love seeing how giddy Rick gets over these unique golf balls.
Rick... They were made for playing Golf in Arizona, due to the glare of the Sun. Made them easy to See
Oh wow that actually makes a lot of sense, didn’t know that.
Why don't they still use them, if they are easier to see. I use tour yellow because I think they are easier to see than white.
@@stuartyaxley6689 I have a bucket of practice balls that are all different colors,and the one that sticks out the most is a hot neon pink Volvik.
@@rjmara6781 volvik balls rock
@@BADD1ONE I plan on adding more to my bucket, I love it.
Loved that Rick! Hilarious ball cutting and I remember fondly playing Crail around 1995 using a blue and yellow one!!
You should do a review of the new Srixon Divide Balls
Wow. That was a cool cut. Nice job Rick.
Ever since I've been watching your content I've just been getting better and better at my golf game. I've learned so much from your channel! 😎 Thanks!
🤣 🤣 🤣 Realy nice to you have much Fun with colourful balls👍🏻😝
You have to play With Pete and Mat with this three balls 😉
*Rick talking about not wanting to hit it poorly and lose the ball*
Me: *Thinking of Rick’s video about positive thinking and picturing what a good shot looks like*

I only ever bought one Ping ball and I still have it! Never been hit outside, I've always used it indoors on the putting mat. Very good for checking your stroke. Great vid Rick.
Those balls look amazing. Love the ball vids. The cut was not expected
Morpheus: Do you take the red ball, or the blue ball?
Rick Shiels:
Both is good
Best chop in half yet! Although the one with liquid inside was also pretty awesome
Hi Rick. Love your content, and you have made golf so much more fun for me!! Also made my game better. Sending some love from Norway
Another great video Rick. Thank you ! I’ve been playing the new Srixon Q Star Tour Divide yellow/red balls and I love them. I use to play the Ping eye 2 yellow/red back in the day and still have some that I used on the putting green until Srixon divide came out here in NewHampshire USA. Cheers !
As a colorblind golfer these balls are my nemesis, I would lose so much money with these
Same
When he says something like it would've been better if it landed red side up...I was like whaaaaaaat???? Red on green is just not possible for me lol
Made me wince seeing you hitting these balls. They are collectors items
I’d love to see you review the Decathlon inesis golf balls!
Damn..that ball gave me confident..more distance for begginer like me.
@@pcnubi998 i only used them when i found some and i need a Rick shields ball review from them so i know if i should buy some or not.
Some cracking shots played there Rick
I remember playing with those balls back in the day...they were awesome...Ping should make them again
Srixon makes some now called the Q-STAR Tour Divide.
Very cool - I went in a bin of balls I have had for awhile and I found 2 of these. Always thought they were cool. Thanks for the video!
As a kid you thought you'd hit gold if you found a multicoloured PING ball in the rough!
Turns out if you find one as an adult you do hit gold
These were fun to putt with back in the day. Very good feedback on how you roll the ball.
Do a comparison on the new two colored srixon golf balls too please!
These Srixon's are my goto's now. Love watching the spin changes and accurate lining up of putts.
I loved the white and sky blue color combination ping Ball.
Anyone remember the bald eagle ball? One of our members bought a pallet off them years ago at an auction and still uses them to this day.
I'm not surprised with a pallet of them 🤣
I would 1000% buy these golf balls. I love the look
When you say bunker. It sounds like you say “bungggka”.
I now call the bunker a bunggka. Thanks man

I'm a Ping fan why would I care about a ball? If anything the downvote is an absolute moron who doesn't like Rick Shiels videos.
@@timhouston1638 or it could be someone who accidentally caught the downvote.
I still have some around! Never played them on the course though, only on a putting green. Yes, most precious!
I'd love to buy a ball that's almost as old as my marriage and crush it everytime! Great job sir.
I can see the benefits of helping to understand the roll of the ball on your putts and good training aid for juniors
Rick do a review on TaylorMade cncpt irons!
I thought they where titleist
titleist you donut
hahah titleist i messed up
Love the videos Rick...let’s see one with you, Matt and Peter..cheers!
