    Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This RUclips channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
    I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
    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!
    On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

    Before my grandfather passed, he went through a bad case of vertigo and could no longer play golf. My dad brought two sets of clubs home from him when my grandparents moved. Including an original 2Ball. Still use it to this day. Still has his old address tape around the shaft under the grip, which I just had regripped yesterday, I'm glad they left it on. He is the reason I love golf so much, I don't think I can ever change from it.

      I jst picked up (another Ping Anser 2) in mint condition. The guy had it ever since when he lived in Phoenix. Only reason he was selling was old age and hip going out. I love Odyssey putters and have a collection of them that I use. But the Ping Anser 2 will always me my Reference Putter that I like to calibrate my stroke to...then I take whichever I like and feel confident and dialed it down.

    Just checked the Bank of England inflation calculator (yes, I’m that much of a geeky pedant) and £130 in 2001 equates to about £210-220 now, so the pricing with the steel shaft is pretty much spot on... Nice looking putter too 😎

    Just started six month ago really. Always played with a very old Taylor made white smoke. I didn't realize how bad it was, until I started looking for something new. Out of all the ones I've tested. I'm going to go for an Odyssey two ball, stroke lab fang putter. Soft feel and easy to line up. It gives me so much more confidence.

    I just put in my custom order for the OG 7S! It was a tough choice between the two, ut I went with the 7 since I swung it a little smoother and like the look more. Both are great though. The other contender was a Mizuno M Craft 6, but they don't have an option to order with an oversized grip, so I didn't feel like paying for a $300 putter and then also springing extra for a regrip on a brand new club

    Just picked up my first every mallet putter and of course its the original 2001 2-ball. Got it a thrift store for $6 in practically mint condition, I'm over the moon about this putter!!

    I still use my White hot #2 center shaft. I loved the rule 35 golf ball.

    OG does stand for original gangster but its become more of a colloquialism for 'old school' or original in general

    My wife still uses her Odyssey White Ice version of this 2-ball putter today. Not gonna lie, I've stolen it a couple times to use myself because of how great it rolls. Great little putter.

    First thing I did to improve my putting was get a two ball white hot pro. Best feeling putter in the world in my opinion. Got mine used but line new and bought a head cover to match it
