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.

Leave the brand loyalty behind Rick. You dont need the clout of the big names. You just something that works. You struck these irons better than anything you have tried. No errant shots, just good performance.
For rick I agree but on a side note I think what he was referring to is are people willing to spending almost 2 grand when the top brands are like 4-600 dollars cheaper.
He was definitely liking them but had a tough time getting over that price. It's not brand loyalty it's the reality of the market.
You are right, but he is right also because 99% of people don't know this company and they will think who the fuck are they to charge this much! Because they don't know who they are
I literally went to PGA Superstore to order T150’s and walked out ordering these.
4 -6 CB and 7 - P MB. I pick them up tomorrow and can’t wait to try them!
It was $1,600 for the full set plus tax.
Bettinardi are the PRIDE AND JOY OF ILLINOIS!!!
put them in the bag! some of the most consistent irons ive seen you hit!
Maybe they were right about the MBs then.
Put them in the bag Rick!
I like the fact they are a premium lesser known brand. It makes them more exclusive. I don’t think price comes into it when the product is clearly a cut above. What a beautiful looking set of clubs.
I think I disagree on the brand moving forward, I’m new to golf and a high handicapper, however I found a Bettinardi putter for sale at a Tip shop of all places for £2 and loved it so much I ended up buying a full set of used Bettinardi wedges. The craftsmanship and attention to detail gives me confidence that this brand know what they are doing!
Be interesting to see a test of Bettenardi or Muira vs Tacoma or Matby irons. High end vs Low end.
Couldn’t agree more. Would love that comparison.
Would love to see someone review the Maltby TS3s. Fully forged and 1/3 the price for 4-gap…..8 irons vs 7
Great idea
He’ll never review a Maltby iron, too much to lose from big golf.
You can deny it all you want, Rick is an industry plant
@@dansgarage4572 Not golf related but that's why I love the ProjectFarm site. Guy buys his own products and reviews them against each other.
TAKOMO IRONS!!!! Best of the best and much much cheaper!!! Now thats a WIN WIN!!!!!
Had a putter fitting a few months back and all the data went in favour of the bettinardi innovate 0.9 mallet putter... I have to admit I wanted a Cameron, but they didn't suit me at all, so got the Bettinardi and its improved my scoring so much...I really like the fact that they aren't in everyone's bag and not everyone uses them.
Please please please compare these to Takomo, budget vs premium! You neeeeeed to review Takomo either way!
Plenty of Takomo reviews online
@@Ghost-Of-Kyiv- I’ve seen them, you can find reviews on every club brand, I’ve followed Rick for a while now and it’s nice to see his take, I own a set of the 101’s and they are great. Good line up for a small brand, do you think Rick would agree?
@@kyleclacherty8933 I've heard nothing but good things
Have you never seen Takomo irons reviewed?
James Robinson is doing a whole series using them
Wesley Bryan plays them in his videos
Claire Hogel games them in her videos as does Sabrina Andolpho
......
@@chrissellings James is a nice chap but all his reviews are the similar, everything’s great! although it’s nice to see him using Takomo. 👌🏼
I use a Bettinardi putter. Destroys any Scottie I’ve ever seen. They have some special sauce at this company and you’re missing out if you just want the same stuff everyone else has.
The price is a bit strong. Think they will appeal to Bettinardi fans but if I was inclined to drop £1800 I’d save up for another 2 weeks and buy Miura.
Yeah seriously. At that point I’d just shell out the extra $600 or so and nab a set of the limited edition Mizunos.
I’d buy blueprints lol stuff anything else that price
Saving $300 a week ? 15 grand a year ?
@@kelvinfannon8416some people aren’t poor
I equate Bettinardi with really high quality putters, so I could easily see them putting that premium quality into their irons. Would love to play those beautiful things.
I’ve watched this video and the Kirkland review today. 1300 ish more for these than the Kirklands just seems crazy
Well kirkland is basically a no name brand that copied another company and the other company is targeting rich people
TaylorMade filed a lawsuit against Kirkland for patent infringement alleging Kirklands irons were based on proprietary technology. The reality is the golf industry is rife with clones and knockoffs and there are no lawsuits against the myriad of golf clubs built in Asia. A lot of reviews have said the Kirkland irons perform as well as the TaylorMade irons while TaylorMade has said that the Kirkland irons are not as good as TaylorMade irons. There is a lot of speculation that TaylorMade is suing Kirkland because the Kirkland irons are half the price with comparable performance which calls into question why Kirkland vs all the knockoffs and clones on the market. Their biggest fear is a large company like CostCo/Kirkland has deep pockets and is putting out an affordable product which calls into question why are TaylorMade irons so expensive.
@@FlyRiverFly Taylormade irons are so expensive because they need to pay huge endorsements! Paying Tiger is Millions in cost. Then you have to consider Rory, Dustin, Jason, Sergio, etc. This is why Nike pulled out of golf club manufacturing. After paying endorsements, they weren't making anything. No point in running a business if you aren't making any cheddar!
@@PRYVTgomerPYLE I agree but they are paying millionaires, millions of dollars so they can sell over priced items to everyone else. CostCo/Kirkland is charging people a fair price for a quality product. I dont blame TaylorMade or Ping or Mizuno et al for charging those prices because they do have a lot of overhead in their business which is tied to golf. But I do have a problem with them going after companies because they are offering a product with an affordable quality product.
Absolute banger!
Rick. I want you and to do me and all the other srixon guys a favor and test the ZX7s. I think you’d put them straight into the bag like we all did. Grab the ZX5s to test while you’re at it!!!
I wouldn’t suggest it if I didn’t think you’d love them. Cheers!
Look exactly like the new Vice golf irons
Same test, same shaft…it would be great to see a comparison and see the data
Lovely looking irons. I play the Bettinardi Queen Bee putter, its a thing of beauty , so well made, very premium looking and feels a delight when making putts. I can only imagine these irons are made to the same high standards, feel great and so carry the price tag thats offers some exclusivity. There will be plenty of people willing to give them a go .... I will once im in the market for some new irons.
I'm so glad you're reviewing/testing out Bettinardi clubs. Their headquarters is about 7 minutes from my parent's house in a small town just southwest of Chicago. My brother has their putter and it's amazing.
Nice! I'm 15 minutes from them.
I would love to see you review takomo irons
I saw a Bettinardi BB 51 a few years ago and had to buy one,ma great looking putter from the guy who invented making great putters without having mass production. At the same time I purchased a set of Muira CB 501 irons. Yes expensive but fantastic looking irons and still gaming them. I sold the Bettinardi putter last year for more than I paid for it. I think if you buy something that’s top quality and great looking you might not ever change so a great investment.
One thing that annoys me with today’s mass produced top brand clubs is the way they con the buyer. My 7 iron is the normal Muira loft of 34 degrees whereas some brands use 27 degree, 28, 29 etc and say they go further. That’s a lie as you have been sold a 5 iron or 6 iron not a 7 iron. Great show 👏🏻
Totally agree. Also though, I like traditional lofts more now that I’ve made the transition. Gives me an opportunity to build the top of my bag out more with a hybrid and/or 5w
The first time I saw a new set of irons with an 1800 dollar price tag was around 2009, maybe '10,, the sweet looking Callaway Prototype tour authentic blades, a first for Callaway. I figured they were exclusive limited edition tour specials or something. Back then that was off the charts.
I say play these, Rick,, out on the course with real turf interaction, wind, weird lies. If they perform better those Wilson cb's then you've found your new set. Good review.
Oh man I’d love to try those
Please review the new callaway edge set from Costco, I enjoyed your 2023 version
For that doe I'm getting the p790 aged copper & qi10 driver💯
As you said price for an iron I've not heard of .The way to sell is loss leading,reduce until price dramatically until enough irons are out playing with golfers to get them seen and heard. Then when reputation grows with word of mouth and result then price could be lifted steadily. They look Beautiful 👍
Bettinardi makes high quality stuff, I saved up for a putter from them, probably the best putter I have ever used let alone held in my hand. top notch. if you hit these this well on course, you should put these in the bag for sure.
Nice vid, wish I could try these! Brand familiarity may be a "big problem" for Bettinardi's sales outlook, but I don't think it should be called out so prominently in a review, because you should be reviewing the clubs from the POV of the golfer who might be considering giving them a try, not the corporate sales outlook. From the golfers' standpoint, price certainly matters, so that's definitely important. But in your final wrap-up, "these are incredible irons" shouldn't sound so much like an afterthought after hammering on Bettinardi's lack of market saturation. It's an undeserved disservice to the manufacturer.
I love my bettinardi putter. I’ll definitely have to grab a set of irons now 😁
Lazy review so this should help those that are interested.... TRI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION
The integration of high-density Tungsten and Military- Grade CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composite) within the forged Carbon Steel body produces weight profiles that maximize forgiveness while maintaining balance and consistency from one iron to the next.
Genuinely everything Bettinardi touches is top notch in quality, and I don't think anyone familiar with the brand and men behind the brand would be the the least bit surprised these irons are fantastic. I am quite confident that the quality of these irons is up there with Ping, Titleist, Callaway, TM, and Mizuno, and would be shocked if they don't perform on their level as well. I switched over from one of their putters to a ping one just because of the shape, but absolutely loved and can remember distinctly the feel of the old one and do miss it.
I agree on the pricing though. If I had the budget to add in a new set of irons, I'd absolutely give these a go. But spending $1800 on a set of irons with a newborn when I could get a high quality used set for $500 or so just can't be justified. And that makes me very sad. They're gorgeous clubs and clearly perform as well as they look.
Rick, would be great to see you test these and the Kirklands out on the golf course! :)
Wow these are gorgeous!
I am a betty fan and have waited for the CB and MB reveiws. Rick saying that they are great irons helps me make my mind to buy the CB's this fall. There is plenty of brand loyalty from Bettinardi owners to make these succeed.
and just put them in your bag already!
They look good ❤
Look a lot like the Cobra 3D printed irons?
Takomo had the best strategy. Come in at a price that is impossible to ignore. Get some traction in the market and build your reputation up. There just won’t be enough people willing to spend nearly 2k on a set of irons that will be difficult to even test
I think the Bettinardi brand carries a little more clout than you think Rick. Premium and quality goes hand in hand with this company.
He talks shite sometimes.
I love my bettenardi putter.
I have a Bettinardi Putter and it is the best I've ever gamed. It was just a matter of time before they dominated the iron market.
I love Bettinardi Putters and I would for sure play their Irons - if I could afford them and if the blades would be available in LH.. ;-)
Putters and wedges are awesome buttery feel
The standard deviation in spin for these irons is nuts. Would love to see an on course review and maybe you putting these in the bag!!
I see vice came out with clubs now, those should be next on your radar! Also, there's a way to fix the brand issue. More influencers like yourself can get out there and highly recommend the brand, regardless of their popularity. I for one dont care about brands, as long as they perform. We need more people talking about these other brands that dont get that much attention due to sponsorship deals. Because thats all it really is, sponsorships of pros. Help those brands out!
They remind me of the video you did with the PLD Anser putter, describing it as a piece of jewelry. Those are absolutely beautiful in my eye. Unfortunately, as a 16 hc, those are definitely not for me. I’ll stick with my ugly G430 irons that still go the same distance regardless of how thin or toe side I hit them 😭
Need to get the Vice Golf irons on the go
those are some nice looking irons
Would love to see you test their wedges!!!!!
Make sure you replace your divot's.
The price may be high but then their putters are pricy too. They are a premium brand and clearly want to be seen that way. If Scotty made irons they'd be expensive too. Hopefully what you get at this price point is exclusivity and very high quality craftsmanship. People, who can afford it, will pay extra for that. That's always been the way in all things.
You hit every shot well. Would love to see you play a round with these. Brand doesn’t put me off at all - their putters are class and these irons look to be the same. I’d save a little extra to play irons that beautiful that perform and enjoy the attention they get.
Loved this Rick! But not sure you are correct about the job that Bettinardi have, establishing themself as an Iron manufacturer.
Remember, they are already seen as pretty high-end/high-quality within putters. Think it is easier for then then say wilson, takomo etc. Still, can´t see them competing sale-wise to Taylormade, Titleist and Callaway, but maybe challenge the Mizuno, Srixon etc. Great review anyways. Would like yo see you stick them in the bag! ;)
I think they are beautiful. And if they perform Rick as you say, then there will be a market, and I 100% wish them well. I love what they are doing on the brand front, quirky yet very sleek and desirable. If anything, this brand is just another good example that the sport is alive and doing very well. End of the day, "it's only expensive if you can't afford it". I am going to work a little bit harder, 'cos i would love a set of these, even if it's just to spoil myself with something pretty.
The moment I saw these, months ago, and fell in love with them.
Ha ha the MBs will suit Rick more. Mizuno and others did have the wingback design in the past. Vice MBs look very similar.
"wingback design in the pasy"????????????????
@@3nCountingpast
I like the brand, I change my gear very infrequently. Something like these are timeless, TM and others change their gear often so you're soon out of date. I've a used set of Miura TC201's (which replaced a Mizuno set I'd had for 12 years) and they're still the current model, which I like and it helps with resale also.
Those irons look solid!! My driver broke today and I can see you have one standing in the background who wants to go out on the grass. ;)
Please review the RAM golf clubs, either the fx-77 or the newer FXTs.
Looks more like Srixon zx7 mkii irons with that back
Rick you need to get your hands on the new Vice Golf Irons, their balls are an awesome value, it’d be interesting to see if their clubs are as well!
Great looking iron. I wish they were more reasonably priced. I would love to put them in the bag!
Rick, you gotta wear your watch the other way around. The apple pay keeps getting activated pressing the side botton.
I couldn't be happier with my current irons (srixon mkii zx7) but Holy cow those irons are the nicest looking in ever seen (personal preference I know,)
Now you need to try the new Vice clubs. Both companies are making a strong initial showing!
Payed
I think they'll be fine.. They're a boutique brand who don't cater for the masses, they're looking for that affluent individual who wants something that performs, yes - but they want something different that they can show to their mates (or minions) at the clubhouse. Fair enough! I don't think price or branding will be a problem.
HOWEVER - it goes to show just how much of a mark-up are placed on these iron sets. There's a DTC brand that isn't quite at 70, it's just below - they have a set called the 659 MB that looks an awful lot like this set! I bet it performs just as well.
For us normal folk - that makes more sense at £700 a set. As I say, is the brand worth an extra £1100? To some people, yes.
Would love to see your thoughts on the Srixon irons.
I like the Kirkland signature. Would love a set of those
Can you test the takomo irons
Would deffo get these if they worked for me. Problem is more like where can you get fit for these.
Bettinardi is a great company, with a bit of a cult following. Their hive selections sell out instantly every time they launch. I drove to Chicago and got a putter fitting there, and found it to be spectacular. Ended up with a queen b #6 and saw my average putts per round drop about 5-6 depending on the course. They charge what they want, because it’s crafted in America by some of the more creative and talented makers in the game.
Only Americans rate American made stuff...
@@womblehunter The same is probably true of your country lol
Still 200 quid cheaper than the Ping putter fitting 😂 Ping needs to take a look in the mirror for charging people that much for a fitting and a single club. Maybe if they fit Scheffler and Korda they could try and steal money from people 😂 Another great video Rick!
I have never cared about brands with my clubs. I’m all about performance. Even when I went for a fitting, they asked me if I was looking for a particular brand and I said “nope, whichever one I hit the best is the one I’m putting in the bag.”
Love these irons, they definitely deserve a round atleast, you was striking them so well. And if all else fails, I'd happily take them off your hands and do some plugging for the brand at the local 👀😂
I think they are more well known for their putters aren't they? seems quite a few iron sets are up to the £1700-£1800 range now. They do look very nice.
Put them in the bag Rick and do a few rounds to see how you do? Then do another review on them of how they work out on the course? They look stunning
Nice
They look, FANTASTIC!!!
Bettinardi is a popular brand in America, they make amazing putters like their Queen Bee series. I’m going to buy a set of these irons just to have I might not even play them I just like the look of them they remind me of the Miura 201s
Great! How about a review of the new Mizuno 241, 243, and 245 iron range? :)
I'll be honest, I know Bettinardi for their putters which we've seen Rick test. If the price point was $400 cheaper, sales would be expedentially better. That said Rick is correct about them not be as popular coupled with the fact they don't have players signed. Rick should test them against an alternate brand as well as put them in the bag. If for nothing else, to field test on-course.
There is one other bad side to the Bettinardi irons - Unless you pay for a premium shaft, you can't buy them with a senior flex.
Maybe what they need to for a few years is position price just under the big brands? Take £300 off them until established. Clearly as good so if cheaper they may break in...
Rick surely you have to put these in the bag!!! I’ve never seen you hit all 3 irons so well!!!
He's a golf snob.
Have you reviewed any Maltby clubs? Their irons and wedges have been getting rave reviews recently across youtube, particularly their player irons... and their price for a set starts at like $500....
There is one more issue - resellers. For example, in Czech Republic there is no reseller for this brand. You can buy few putters here, but no way how to try them etc
I will never be a good enough golfer to justify the cost of these.
Tempted by the Takomo 201's though
don't know when those was released but they are 1 to 1 srixon z forged 2
Looks identical to the vice iron?
Hey Rick. Loving the hit videos. Would be so interesting to see you review the sub70 irons! That’s what I thought these were when I clicked the video.
Sub70 clubs are awesome!
@@mistahshorthitter their raw finishes look insane
shouldn't be an issue, just give a set to any top 10 Pro. best add they can have.
Please review the Decathlon range of clubs,they look OK for the money I'd like to see what you make of them
They unbelievably look like the new Vice Iron sets! Its uncanny😮
You should try those next!
Rick please review a set of maltby irons. I am considering them and would love to see you out them to the test.
If these don’t go in your bag at least for a few rounds, idk what’s going on lol. Awesome review
I don’t see an unknown or lesser known brand being an issue at all. It could be a real pull for some people. Some people want to be different and another decent brand to help break up the usual crowd is fine by me. I wish them every success. I will say that I would never pay £1,800 from any brand for 7 irons though. Golf club prices have just got completely stupid these days and I won’t be paying them.
Please review the AVODA irons!!!
Are you going to try the new Vice golf irons, wedges and putters?
What's the thoughts on the Vice irons?
Rick can you please review rams fx77, great irons at a great price.
Need to review the Vice golf clubs! Come on haha
Can you test the Vice Irons?
Vice have now released iron sets, if the club works and they are ok in price, go for it
I’d use them if the price was like 1000 less 😂 😂
