Barry Stevenson I duffed my hybrid off the first tee, (short par 4), just made the edge of the fairway, using the same hybrid, smashed it 210 to within 15 feet of the flag, 2 putt parred it. Not bad for the first hole after lockdown. But yeah nearly missed with my first swing off the first tee. Rest of the round mix of pull hooks occasional great shots lots of putts finishing after 7 1/2 holes due to hail, rain 🌧 and very scary lightning 🌩 (did mention 25-30 mph wind gusts) still had a great time and was for the most part able to laugh away my poor ball striking with lots of after lockdown jokes
Rick, I’d love to see you play a round with ultimate forgiveness type stuff. The smart sole wedges, launch pad irons, etc. and see how much of a difference it is than playing your normal gamers. Could be a fun 2 ball video
I’ve been hitting this one callaway chrome soft since March into my net (I don’t have any simulator) and it is completely misshapen now. It’s crazy how much it’s worn out.
Wow, as a golfer who has recently got back into golfing on a regular basis, as I currently stare across my bedroom at my 10 year old set of Wilson’s this video upsets me slightly just to imagine ANY of the clubs not being played every week. Is it just me? Also, I’d like to add that after being away from the game that I once loved for so long it’s nice to come back and see how much technology has changed and I would just like to state how nice it is to be able to watch videos like this. This guy is by far my favorite so far. LOVED the 7 iron pro vs full bag amateur video. Much love from Missouri! Keep up the vids!
Korey Whitaker for sure. Like I can’t even get a decent set all at once. I’m having to go club by club 🤣 Sad but true, damn covid outbreak, not working sucks.
E.L.Dorado they weren’t. Of course there were some rather bad ones in it, too. But Shielsy also liked quite a lot of the clubs. The Wedges, the Wilson irons... just for example.
You wouldn't buy a car you don't like the look of. Why buy golf clubs that look terrible? (Answer: you are an absolute beginner and just need some kind of club.)
Yeah, well, that is why I just unsubbed. I don't care about their looks. I care about their performance. (Seen enough people on the course with "pretty" sets, who cannot play for shit).
Would be great to see again more reviews for each of those iron sets and other clubs, with data and a detailed opinion for each one as you did in the past. Looking forward to it!
I'm pretty new to your channel and I love how much FUN YOU HAVE !!! No matter what you do, out on a course or at home 🏡 like this one. I wonder how many people are drooling over your house set up,??? Your reality is more impressive than my Dreams 😍😍. My clubs are 30 years old and look like toys compared to what is available today, Spalding Sparton is the first and only matching set I've ever had. Does Spalding even make golf clubs anymore??? Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney PS Curious?? What happens to the clubs after you test them??? Ever send them to a subscriber or Veterans?? I hope to play again, waiting for right hip replacement surgery and rehab. Then I hope to play again. Thanks again Rodney
Hey Rick, just wondering do they send these and expect them back or are they yours to do with whatever suits? I've always wondered how it works . Keep up the great content. 👍
Probably these are demo sets, so it will be return to the companies. If not all golf RUclipsrs would have at least hundred of golf clubs lying on their background. P/s: if any RUclipsrs review are being too "honest", companies might not send their latest club to be review again. Business is business.
It's sad when I'm over here like "I think I could afford one iron from one of those sets" meanwhile Rick's garage looks like the golf display at a dick's sporting goods 😂😂😂😂 love the video Rick
Hello Rick, Just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your videos. I have probably watced over a hundred of them over the past year or more. We are getting a bit of that UK weather here today (rain). So no golf today. I,m 63 years of age, 6'4", 216lbs. My current irons are six year old Callaway X2hot Pro, 4 thru 9 with PW,AW all Steel shafts stiff. I use Cleveland 588 60 & 56 degree wedges. Driver also X2Hot, 3W-XR, 3hybrid-XR, Putter Ping. All my clubs were fitted to my height and arm length back in 2014 by golf professional. 1.5inch long, plus2 upright lie, grips-midsize-Winn. I hit my driver 250-280 yards, 3W about 235max, 3H-215 max, 4I-205, 5I-195, 6I-185, 7I-175, 8I-165max, 9I-145max, PW-125max, AW-115, 56-95yds, 60-50yds max. Ghin=10 So I hit all my clubs pretty good but I,m just in the mood to upgrade to a new set. My golf shop at my resort pushes Taylormade & Callaway and my place of work Pronghorn Resort pushes Callaway clubs. These are two of the some of the best manufacturer's of golf clubs but I,m open to any of the top brands. I work at a golf resort in Central Oregon and live on another golf resort same area. I would like your opinion or thoughts on what golf clubs you would believe someone of my age & height could benefit the most from? I know this is kind of difficult but I thought it would be interesting. I going to have True Spec Golf do a fitting on me soon at Pronghorn Resort. Oh did I mention that my Ancestry is 94% UK. Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland. Golf must be in the blood. Robert A. Firth (Bob) bob.firth2012@gmail.com
I would love to see a full on review of those Wilson D7s and the Cleveland wedges on the simulator and the course when they are open again. They look like they could be clubs for my game.
Great fun. Being fairly new to golf, taking it up seriously 3 years ago at 68, I doubt different clubs will help. I’m still trying to get the ball to go where I’m aiming.
I didn't need that much carry, now to carry 180 I have to pull at least the 4 iron out of my bag and this man is hitting a 7 iron 200 😂. Great video Rick, you're a lucky man to get boxes of brand new clubs. I've never had any brand new clubs. My brother works at a golf course and gives me his old clubs when he upgrades. I had some Wilson oversize before and now for the last 5 years I've been hitting King Cobra irons. I can tell a huge difference in how they feel and hit and I've NEVER been able to tell that about any club in my life. Also got an M5(used, like new lol) from my father in law for Christmas last year and I absolutely love it!! Back to hitting 250 plus when I hit it good. Thanks again Rick! Been watching your videos for a while and I've always enjoyed them
Hi Rick, would love to see you do a greenkeepers day on the course when the problems are over as it might be an eye-opener for many golfers. I worked at the East Sussex National for a summer and loved it. ;-)
Well that was interesting ! Obviously manufacturers are targeting newcomers into the game, we are far from blades for old players like us, but it also shows that Golf is alive and new players are coming into the game, and this is a benefit for the entire Golf Industry. Well done Rick for sharing this with us.
Video idea for when restrictions are lifted: 9 holes only using illegal clubs. The Hammer driver! That wedge with the slots cut in it stuff like that see what you score.
I dropped $699 today on a set of Wilson Staff Launchpad Irons. I cannot wait to receive them! Edit: 7/23/2020 - I've golfed three rounds with the LPs, and despite the physical size of the head, it weighs identical to my vintage Wilson Pro Staff OS irons. The crack of hitting the ball square is fantastic, and the ball gets in the air immediately. I took my ball over a 40' tall Oak tree with my pitching wedge, while being 25 yards in front of it. The PW is great out of sand also. I could not be happier with the set.
Just a warning: Careful around the 8 minute mark when that Launch Pad iron comes out. I migjt have thrown up in my mouth a little. Rick, you gotta warn us before pulling pranks like that! Great vid.. Curious if in that huge box of XXIO stuff if there was a driver with a shaft more suited to you. 47g senior flex at 115mph is fun to watch tho.
Beautiful irons from Wilson with some pockets on the sole, Rick says they're ugly. The most hideous irons I've ever seen in my life, the SIM irons from TaylorMade, and Rick says they're "jam packed with features" LOL
Please do a LOT more of these videos! Love it and satisfies my bad habit...shopping!!! My wife would love your channel if it keeps me away from the shops!😂
hlca might be why I started using head covers on my irons... 🤔 But honestly, I don’t even notice them - certainly not at address which is all that matters for me. And I like that when I hit it low on the face those power holes give more flex and minimal loss of yardage
Buy them. Got some at the end of last year and are unbelievably nice to hit. Great forgiveness and distance. Also the added bonus of being half the price of anything else out there
Julian Roberts - I haven’t got D7’s, I play the C300 Forged. But they are basically same looking iron just with weaker lofts. They are brilliant and no reason why the D7’s wouldn’t be too. People should wake up to WIlson Staff - their irons are absolutely up there with the best in the game, and half the price. Win win.
It'll inevitably catch me too, but I think I have a few more years until it hits me. And until then I'm with Rick, even though I'm not AS long as Rick. If I would switch to longer irons, there would be a huge gap between my gap wedge and pw. And to be honest anything else than a full swing is increasing the incosistency a lot. So I'll stick with my V2 set for now. Leaves me more money to buy balls and green fees too 😂
I am always surprised how much credit Rick gives to how the club looks. Both in the bag and behind the ball. Surely feel and performance are way, way, way more important than pure aesthetics?
I think for most of the audience seeing the clubs and the "eye candy" is much more entertaining. He can make any club work as long as it stays together, and one of the main way clubs are differentiated these days is forgiveness, which we can't really tell from verbal description anyways.
Come on Rick! You should In all fairness make a video for every product/set you were sent. If I was a Club Manufacturer and you tested them like this, “like a job lot” I wouldn’t be sending you any other clubs to test. Give us the old in depth videos that you did when you tested the clubs and gav the necessary information as to who should buy the tested club. After all, it was testing clubs with a fair and unbiased opinion, that made you such a popular Club Tester and You Tuber!
bit late watching this video but since i just stacked my electric scooter and seperated my right shoulder (yes i know im 52 lol ) but still an aussie kid at heart,,, i have plenty of time to watch all videos while my shoulder heals up so i can get back to golf. another great review rick
What's the loft on that "7" iron ? This is how reps sell new clubs . "Goes 20 yds further than your current 7 sir " Does'nt tell you it has the same loft as your 5!!
I've always fancied trying the hybrid style irons but never had the opportunity to hit them. They look like they'd help with consistency for sure. This must of been a fun video to make keep um coming
Rick, maybe you should do a twitter request for folk to send in pictures of the clubs they don't use anymore that are buried in the back of the shed, and then pick say 10 of the weirdest and get them sent to you for review?
Ruan Esterhuizen totally agree with you. And no surprise at all. I play Wilson’s C300 Forged and they have the power holes too, but not cranked up lofts. They’re superb. Thought the Cleveland wedge line-up were impressive (not that I would play Smart Sole, but they’ll work for some people. )
I also play with Wilson C300 forged irons and I absolutely love the feel and control. I didn’t know what to expect from Wilson. I love their baseball equipment but just got into golf a year ago and fell in love with my irons. Wilson super underrated
I switched last year from c300 to d7 forged purely to gain more distance as I'm getting old. They are everything that my c300 forged gave me with more distance so a big win for me. In the process of testing the d7 woods as I'm that impressed with the wilson gear
This is awesome. Rick's job perks are awesome. Here we are planning to upgrade iron sets years in advance and Rick has figured it out. They're mailing them to him. I tip my hat to you dude.
Me: orders clubs and nervously waits for them to arrive
Rick: orders clubs and forgets about them.
D4rk NKL i feel that so much ahha
He does not need to order; these are sent to him for product review, I believe.
he doesn’t order them, companies send him stuff to review.
What do you do with the clubs after you review them?
lol *orders item online* *checks order status 3 minutes later*
‘First shot. Actually shanked it.’
Every golfer after lockdown.
Barry Stevenson dude that was so me today with my irons!
Barry Stevenson I laughed so hard t that!! 🤣
And then there's then first chip.
@Just bored True true just as many slice it ;)

You mean play with something that he can hit??? But they might not look good in the bag....
Great idea
Rick: " This could literally be anything, guys."
Me: "My guess is you've probably got some golf clubs in there, Ricker..." 😉
Love how Rick starts the video by him walking inside like he hasn't just walked outside then back in
I love this so much
Rick: *sets up home simulator*
Rick: *super excited to set up a ball pyramid*
Rick: *only uses one Pro V1 for the entire quarantine*
Todd Roshong yes but they looks so cool 😆
@@RickShielsPGA Ever wondered what to do with that much clubs, better to arrange a giveaway ☝️💯

E.L.Dorado they weren’t. Of course there were some rather bad ones in it, too. But Shielsy also liked quite a lot of the clubs. The Wedges, the Wilson irons... just for example.
Great video that Rick,especially as us golfers can't go to this Pro shops etc to have a browse,top stuff..👍
He gets so much carry on a seven iron, while I'm stuck hitting driver 175
bruh samee
just keep working, i can hit driver 260-270 and i still suck bad, golf takes time
He can out drive me with his 9 iron🤣
Same
Imagine I’m 14 pushing 280
the reason I love ricks channel he is brutally honest "there ugly"

5:58 it picked up on the shottracer😂
I saw that, he was bouncing it and the tracker thought he was chipping it 😂
love how gc quad recorded that tap contest at 5:58
Like a kid in a candy shop being able to test everything for free. Loved the video Rick!

At 6:00 the simulator picked up when Rick bounced the ball 😂
Yeh I noticed that too. lol!
I sold a mizuno over a Cleveland the other day using the Rick bounce test 😂 soft feel is found on a bounce 😂
I'd love to see you shoot a round of golf with the Wilson's, really see how they play and feel on the course, vs. in the sim.

Dave Holloway sounds reasonable
Makes sense with irons what about wedges and woods
Mark Crossfield's driver "feels like a piece of spaghetti" :-)
It is the most famous golf noodle in Asia. Very popular among Asian seniors and ladies.
I had stopped golfing for 3 years, then I found your videos. I'm now addicted again. Thanks buddy.
I’ve had a Wilson pitching wedge in my bag for a very long time. Along with my Wilson putter, they are the best feeling clubs in the bag.
We're in isolation and Rick's enjoying Christmas like a small kid in a candy store 👌
Glad I checked the comments before saying the exact same thing.
Rick:gets thousands of dollars worth of clubs to open Also Rick: these Wilson’s are amazing
Wilson and Cobra are so underrated !
Loft degree info is more helpful than a "7" with a jacked 5 iron loft.
It's sad when I'm over here like "I think I could afford one iron from one of those sets" meanwhile Rick's garage looks like the golf display at a dick's sporting goods 😂😂😂😂 love the video Rick
You can send me those D7 wilsons so they're not taking up space in the home simulator. Haha
Benny Paris #sendhimclubs !!!!!!!
Agree you could send the D7 my way.
Same here, those power holes don't bother me a bit with that kind of performance.

You dont need it because the 7 iron is the same loft as your 5 iron its all an illusion

farther than i hot mine
Same bro
My friend and I went to golf galaxy for a club fitting and he hit a maverick 7 iron 215 carry

Great fun. Being fairly new to golf, taking it up seriously 3 years ago at 68, I doubt different clubs will help. I’m still trying to get the ball to go where I’m aiming.
Rick, do you have to send the clubs back or could you do some sort of auction for NHS or other charities at this time?
Sooo Jealous! Home simulator and multiple boxes of free clubs to play with during quarantine! I’m stuck putting on my carpet in my room 😂
Grant, try the Putt Out. It'll add some fun to putting on the carpet.

"Does anyone out there need that much carry?" - I didn't used to need it, but Father Time is winning. :D
It'll inevitably catch me too, but I think I have a few more years until it hits me. And until then I'm with Rick, even though I'm not AS long as Rick. If I would switch to longer irons, there would be a huge gap between my gap wedge and pw. And to be honest anything else than a full swing is increasing the incosistency a lot. So I'll stick with my V2 set for now. Leaves me more money to buy balls and green fees too 😂
One of my favorite videos that you've made!
I have no idea why i like your videos as i dont play or watch golf lol
But i really like them 😂
Me: saving up for taylormade sim clubs.
Rick: buys them, tests them out, and forgets about them...
Jackson Ziesmer he didnt buy them.. they were sent to him
Either way, I have to work to get money to buy them. He has them sent for free
Jackson Ziesmer he still has to work for them, this is his job
Ya by golfing when I have barely go. I try to go as often as I can but it's difficult
I am always surprised how much credit Rick gives to how the club looks. Both in the bag and behind the ball. Surely feel and performance are way, way, way more important than pure aesthetics?
But appearance breeds confidence!
I think for most of the audience seeing the clubs and the "eye candy" is much more entertaining. He can make any club work as long as it stays together, and one of the main way clubs are differentiated these days is forgiveness, which we can't really tell from verbal description anyways.
Come on Rick! You should In all fairness make a video for every product/set you were sent. If I was a Club Manufacturer and you tested them like this, “like a job lot” I wouldn’t be sending you any other clubs to test. Give us the old in depth videos that you did when you tested the clubs and gav the necessary information as to who should buy the tested club. After all, it was testing clubs with a fair and unbiased opinion, that made you such a popular Club Tester and You Tuber!
bit late watching this video but since i just stacked my electric scooter and seperated my right shoulder (yes i know im 52 lol ) but still an aussie kid at heart,,, i have plenty of time to watch all videos while my shoulder heals up so i can get back to golf. another great review rick
sorry was on my sons you tube hes away workin lol
Drooling with jealousy. And the 7 iron almost carried 200, that's a good shot with my driver!!
What's the loft on that "7" iron ? This is how reps sell new clubs . "Goes 20 yds further than your current 7 sir " Does'nt tell you it has the same loft as your 5!!
Nicholas Holmes-Siedle welcome to 2020. Except it’s been that way for a long time now
The Cleveland Smart hole! Haha I had one of those !
I've always fancied trying the hybrid style irons but never had the opportunity to hit them. They look like they'd help with consistency for sure. This must of been a fun video to make keep um coming
I wanna see this more often. That was really fun to watch!
Rick, maybe you should do a twitter request for folk to send in pictures of the clubs they don't use anymore that are buried in the back of the shed, and then pick say 10 of the weirdest and get them sent to you for review?
Underrated idea
Here’s me with 7-sw s3 cobras with graphite shafts apart from the 7 which has steel and then a 6 s2 cobra 😂
Rick gets sent boxes upon boxes of new clubs and I'm using a set of old Pinseeker irons from the 90's, Slazenger woods and Fazer wedges!
I absolutely love your videos. Send me a set of those irons. That inch longer set over in the corner gathering dust.😂
I've never even had a free tee, nevermind boxes of clubs 😂
Rick: "Are these wedges? Oh yeah they are wedges"
All those boxes of clubs.... been watching your videos for years... wink wink 😂
So does he just get to keep all these for reviewing them on his channel. That’s awesome.
"It feels powerful"
Translation: "It feels like jacked lofts"
;)
For me Wilson Staff took this one
Ruan Esterhuizen totally agree with you. And no surprise at all. I play Wilson’s C300 Forged and they have the power holes too, but not cranked up lofts. They’re superb. Thought the Cleveland wedge line-up were impressive (not that I would play Smart Sole, but they’ll work for some people. )
I also play with Wilson C300 forged irons and I absolutely love the feel and control. I didn’t know what to expect from Wilson. I love their baseball equipment but just got into golf a year ago and fell in love with my irons. Wilson super underrated
@@scruffymcmuffin9441 I have Wilson d 300 and I love them just shame I can't hit in a straight line lol
I switched last year from c300 to d7 forged purely to gain more distance as I'm getting old. They are everything that my c300 forged gave me with more distance so a big win for me. In the process of testing the d7 woods as I'm that impressed with the wilson gear
Darren bell - I’m gaming the 9* WIlson D7 driver. Pretty good
This is awesome. Rick's job perks are awesome. Here we are planning to upgrade iron sets years in advance and Rick has figured it out. They're mailing them to him. I tip my hat to you dude.
Would love to see Ricks golf club collection. He must have so many complete sets. What a lad
I'm curious to see how well you hit the clubs while they're still in the box.
Possibly better than out of the box
@@RickShielsPGA judging by the first one, it's certainly possible.
