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.
Sure, the Kirkland Signature clubs are way cheaper, but not when you include the 2 paddle boards and the gazebo you buy with them.
Can't forget the rotisserie chicken!
taylormade can’t do that
And the 2 gallon tub of sour cream
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Would love to see a full 18 with only Costco equipment! Bag, Balls, Glove, Driver, Irons, Wedges, and Putter
don't forget the wedges!!!
@@kamakitten Yes!!! Thank you! Fixed!!
It would still be golf...
Plenty golfers pretty sure are going to be doing just that
I love that Rick keeps referring to them as the Costco irons, just to remind these major brands what they are now competing with. A supermarket. Lower your prices fellas, you look RIDICULOUS right now. Who on God’s green earth is paying £1200+ for 7 clubs except silver spoon tories?
Just need to play a full 18 holes with them now. Break 75, without Breaking The Bank! 🙂
A break 75 with all Costco clubs and balls would be awesome
At a costco course
@@lawbinson instead of bunkers theres pallets of bulk items around the greens
@@professorbiohazard4271 Yes! Hot dogs and pizza carts as well.
Can’t break 75 with his own clubs lmfao
great comparison, it really shows how much TM and similar brands are just marking up their products. Costco is really doing the golf industry a service to make golf more accessible with quality gear at a significantly more approachable price
Of course they are marking them up, however, they did pay their engineers boatloads of money to develop the clubs that then just get stolen by the Costco team.
@@fenixdown2396 TM stole most of the Technology from ADAMS ! New box set driver is basically the 2017 M2. Irons but when your owned by TM you can do these things.
@@fenixdown2396who stole from Wilson?
@@fenixdown2396it's literally not rocket science
Not being a lawyer, it’s difficult to see how TM could be successful in the lawsuit. There are so many clubs out there that look like they were copied from other ones. Also, just because they are similar, they are not the same. The insert material is sure to be different, no speed slot, chrome vs brushed, tungsten weight positioning is slightly different, etc. You can certainly make an argument either way.
The problem I have with the costs of equipment, is that it’s eventually going to hurt access to the game. Just 10 years ago, green fees, equipment, etc, were a whole lot more accessible. Today, overall costs of playing is moving this game back to an elite game. I doubt that’s what the businesses in golf really want. Golf will end up becoming an elite-only game again, like it was years ago. Not a good thing. I can’t even find a public course that costs less than $50 a round anymore. How are low or medium income kids going to get access to the game?
I would love to see a review of some takomo irons just because I have seen a lot of recent creators sponsored by them
Heard a few people say this!
@@HITGolfReviews yes pls give us an honest review of the 101s.. i brought them and ended up going back to my package set irons
@@smileshortstpw don't mean to make assumptions, but if you were on a package set, bladed irons like the 101s are probably not the correct irons for you.
@@HITGolfReviews I got the Takomo 301CBs, fully spec'd out, for like $700. They're awesome and have a great, clean design. You gotta try 'em, Rick.
@@HITGolfReviewsyeah and by a few you mean me over and over again 😂
for the extra 5% difference that the fitting will give you, the signiture irons seem the far better value for most golfers
$500 vs $1400 (both new).... crazy how Rick can give such a "similar" review but we're off $900!
Yeah just get a free store fitting and make sure you’re in the general ballpark. They are targeting the meat of the bell curve so if you fall in that area they should be good enough. But I’d bet you’d be better off just looking at a set 1-2 years old that more closely matches your specs for the same price
If Costco wanted to sell these clubs by the cart load all they needed to do was put a more subtle logo on them.
They sold out almost immediately, goofy name and all. they'd sell by the cart load if they had a cart load available!
Simple strip of lead tape across that logo and you look legit. ;)
The logo sucks, belongs on a chips packet
I don’t hate the logo as much as everyone else but I do agree they’d look way better with a more subtle logo.
Maybe something like Rick’s RS logo but instead KS inside a circle or something or even just Kirkland in script without the “signature” part.
I say the same thing about Tour Edge. Excellent clubs, logo like a billboard.
P790's inconsistent spin numbers, which produce the 7 irons that occasionally fly 190, are why I went to the Srixon zx7
Hell yeah, love the audio comparison. You're right, there is a difference, but very small. Not even sure which one I prefer.
I bought the P790 irons 2 years ago and absolutely love them.
Mate I love your reviews I’m so glad you’re doing honest reviews not just doing what the manufacturers want you to say
I understand that TaylorMade is suing Costo - saying that Kirkland is a copy of their 790. I can't see a case here as there are so many hollow-bodied irons on the market featuring this design (that was developed by Wishon back in the early 1990's). Sour grapes if you ask me. Glad to see Costco bringing such good irons to market and helping to make golf more affordable. Great for those who can buy off-the-shelf, but unfortunately, I have to have custom made due to my height/arm length. Thanks for the review.
Wait, you do understand why they're suing or you don't? I think they are claiming 7 copyright infringements, which means they have taken a look in the clubs to check how they have been constructed.
@@josephhouguez3801 I have seen these irons and the 790's cut up and compared on another site and they certainly were not the same looking internally. Of course, Taylor Made is going to make the best case they can for themselves. It is all very amusing to me as Adams Golf sued TaylorMade for patent infringement years ago which led to TM buying Adams.
TM isn’t suing Costco for making a hollow bodied iron, its for infringing on copyrights. Every brand has a hollow body iron design but they arent suing each other for doing it. TM is alleging that the OEM for costco literally copied their design as opposed to designing their own hollow bodied iron
you can't find them anywhere so it doesnt matter anyways
Not the first time Costo tries to benefit from another brands design, and doesn’t sit well with me. The resale value of the Taylormade clubs will be much, much higher than Kirkland, so you won’t lose as much on your investment. I would also rather buy used top brand clubs than Kirkland. If Costco is just openly stealing designs, it wouldn’t surprise me if they are also paying reviewers to push their products.
Just put the p770’s in my bag and absolutely love them… more true lofts and easier to dial in my numbers then the p790’s which are very strong lofted and long. Dispersion is much better with the p770’s I am still one who believes you get what you pay for but great review on a good budget set of irons.
Golf is 90% the person and 10% the equipment. 🤘😎
Thank you for your video. But let’s be pragmatic. The TM P 790 are amazingly good golf clubs. They built up this outstanding performance over years of improvement and development. Any other supplier has the opportunity to copy and paste. And if a player has a smaller budget he might go for the cheaper option. Myself, I bought the P 790 last year and they are worth the money. No doubt about that. TaylorMade is high quality and this has a price. But thank you so much for your motivation to promote the other golf clubs. 😊😊😊🇩🇪
Bought the kirkland wedges after watching Rick's review, and been very happy with their performance and feel. Sounds like the kirkland irons are going to be the next upgrade in my bag
I go into Costco for butter and now will come out with an iron set and still forget the butter
Hit a 7 iron right out the middle in front of the wife then tell her there’s the butter 🧈 😂
Then you can go back for the butter and come back with a driver too
The real question is who needs 20 lbs of butter 😂
This channel has been and still is the best club review channel. No bias what so ever, and I greatly appreciate that. 💪👍🇺🇸
I really loved how you showed respect to both sets of clubs. I agree that Kirkland are limited in sets and selection. But, I hit some the other day at the range and really liked the way they felt. I have Ping i500's that I paid $400 for (demo set) and thought the Kirklands were similar in performance.
Great review Rick! Cheers!!!
Would love to know about the durability of the irons too. I would think that the P790’s would keep their grooves for longer. How many rounds can the Kirklands take before showing wear?
Huge props for the “ROUND 1 - FIGHT!” Straight outta Mortal Kombat 🦂🥶
I’ve been playing with the Costco irons since they first were released. I love them!
Ive been waiting for this!!!!! I just think Kirkland needs a simple “KS” label instead of the full all out wording covering the whole thing. Otherwise they look sooooooooooooooo good.
K-sig
Rick, you should check out the Maltby ts1 im. Pretty much the same price as the Kirkland but they will build them to your specs. Amazing feel to them as well. I highly recommend you check them out.
I played on a resort course and used the hire clubs which were the older generation of P970 - Other than being strong lofted, they are very good clubs and felt a lot softer than I was expecting...
Big advantage of TM is you can trade in or sell for good money down the line, can't see much demand for 2nd hand Kirkland. Good price for someone starting though,
KSig copy of 790, which copied PXG 0311 that brought the hollow head iron forward and changed the game in a big way. We’re all extremely fortunate that fierce competition in the market keeps the cool stuff coming
Definitely like the comparison. Could definitely see myself adding the Kirkland irons to the bag in the near future. My current irons are getting pretty old and worn. Might be time for a cheap upgrade…
very interesting. All things considered I would take a set of the kirklands. I do prefer the brushed finish of the p790s, but that's a hell of a price difference for looks.
Love seeing these low cost brands compared to the big, high priced brands. Would love to get your thoughts on Vice Irons.
What a quality set of clubs for someone new to golf who doesn’t want to spend a fortune. As always great review. 👍🏻👍🏻
I game Cobra Forged TecX irons. Technology is very similar to these clubs. Price is somewhere in the middle. Very forgiving. Lots of choice in this category of irons.
I just think its impressive that some out of the box clubs are performing so close to the custom fit clubs. I would be curious if you had the costco clubs re-shafted to your fit, how the numbers may change in comparison to the p790's. Would they actually pull ahead of the p790 if properly fit? Obviously the added cost of refitting them is unrealistic to their intended purpose, but would still be really interesting to see how their club heads fare on an apples to apples test.
Great review, would like to see how these Kirkland signatures compare to the Callaway Edges they also sell!
I just picked up the wedges and so far I really like them. They’re balanced very well, not too heavy in the clubhead but also not too light, the ball really pops off the face and I feel very confident hitting them.
Couldn't be more impressed with the Kirkland clubs from what you've shown. It's seriously impressive
Review the vice clubs!!! They look phenomenal and I want them to perform well so I feel justified buying them lol
Good review. Proving that you dont need to spend a fortune on clubs to get a great set. TM did the R and D on these clubs years ago. This is the 4th generation with these clubs. You could argue that this has paid off for them. They can't keep trading on the fact they spent money developing them. They've certainly had a return on the investment. They could start making them more affordable now.
Like how you had the sound comparison. Finally getting deeper into review instead of "I just liked it better"
thanks rick, pretty cool, dont need irons right now but will definitely keep an eye out for the kirklands in the future if im going for something good and cost friendly compared to the big names
Exactly what I have been waiting for since the release of the Ksigs. Thanks rick.
Would love to see comparison of the T190s against a £480 set of irons from GolfBidder!
I've noticed that when you test clubs you hit a straight shot usually ending up on or near the green but when you're on the course you try to shape shots that can miss the green by a country mile?
Really intrigued to see what you think of the takomo irons!
It seems to me you could buy the Kirklands, have the heads pulled and get fitted for the shafts that fit your game, have them purchased/installed and still save money over the Taylor Mades. That said...the TM's do look much better in the brushed look over the chrome.
If you went to a metal finishing place Rick SHIELSY baby.... you could get those Kirklands looking sweetbix!!!
Might be a wicked video too mates
The Callaway edge set Costco has is amazing as well.
I use callaway apex MB's currently, which i love. But i would love to see what you think of takomo 301 mbs compared to some of the big name brand blade irons.
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
Just seen the round with Kirkland Signature. Not a bad round and a good effort. Looking for a new driver hint hint.....!
I ordered P790's from AliExpress last season- I love them but was largely due to the fact that I was using super beginner/old clubs. Everyone asks me if they are like the real deal and I just shrug and say to me they are, but I don't know any better 😅
Would love to see you order some and compare against the real deal!
Rick please compare both clubs with the Takomo 101. 🙏🏾Love the content 👍🏾
It is really really cool to see the HIT channel with all the tech involved compared to when I first started watching Rick's channel in the early days of COVID when he had a simulator setup in his basement of his home (anyone remember him breaking his Cobra driver against the ceiling???).
Thanks for this new channel and the insight on the Taylormade and Kirkland irons. I'm looking to get a set of the Kirkland irons so my wife has a solid set of clubs for her early days of golf (already have the driver, wedges, putter, and golf balls). This confirmed I'm making the right choice for a nice "beginner" set of clubs.
He’s come a long ways from the driving range reviews
I’ve got my self the takomo 101 irons and I’ve played with the TM p790s and convinced they are the same, if not takomo 5 yards further, interesting from Costco, same price as mine though, think my ego would stop me getting them
I've just started getting back into playing after a 17 year layoff due to a back injury. I'm currently playing with an 18 year old set of Ram Wizard II irons and would like some recommendations for a new set of irons on a fairly tight budget.
Good luck finding these in stock anywhere
7-iron at 30.5 degrees. My 84' Wilson Staffs are 30.0 degrees for the 5-iron.
Well, rick, you played the kirkland clubs better than the p790's and you were ridiculously consistent with them. Time to put them in the bag.
The biggest difference between the two is availability. You can get the P790s in any golf store.
Good luck finding the Kirklands in stock at Costco. If they show up, they go fast.
I wish we could get the Kirkland irons in NZ
Do you notice a gapping issue with the 8,9,and pw? 7 and under seem normal
Really Rick! Forged blades are all very similar across the board. You’re paying for the brand when it comes to blade irons.
My local golf shop will add the extra 1/2 inch lenght I need for feck all but can't change the lie angle so unfortunately I am out 😢
To be fair. I know they are similar... but I would make the argument that you would get similar results from many different club manufacturers. So what I take away from this is play the brands you like. If you like playing quality clubs and you don't care about brands. Play Costco clubs, or Tacoma's, or Stix, etc. I personally really liked PXG's (for really no particular reason other than I thought they looked cool) but didn't want to pay $1400. So I picked up a second hand set of lightly used last years model for $600. I'm very happy with them.
They look and perform very similarly. Just like different brands of tires, cordless drills, microwave ovens, tv's, look and perform similarly.
Rick, you should also test the Inesis golf club from Decathlon.
Hey Rick. Love the work! Please please please can you test the Vice irons? The forged ones look beautiful.
Would you consider testing the new Ram fxt irons? Cheapest iron set I’ve seen.
12 handicapper and I play p790’s. Tried others but nothing comes close for me. Power, forgiveness and look amazing
Love it I need a set of Kirkland iron stuff shaft everything In golf is so expensive and a lot of times for no reason just like golf shirt are way more money than a shirt made out of the same material from another company that doesn’t advertise their shirt as a “Golf shirt “ is ridiculous you wanna grow the game and everything make things more affordable
For how much Rick talks about price im really surprised he hasn’t tested out the Takomo irons. I really want to see a review on those since they actually have options
Good luck Pete! Your game looks great! 👏🏻
Would good if costco would be able to stock these clubs. Been searching for a year in both Canada and usa
Idk about the other side of the pond but here in the USA Costco pulled these off their shelves months ago.
How about Takomo review Ricky?!! Been waiting for yours since you give honest reviews and not worried about endorsement money.
I want to buy these clubs, but how do I know if I would need regular or stiff? I am 5’8, 175 lbs and lift weights. I have only played for a couple of years and on a great day I can shoot a 90, so I am still not very good. Anyone have any tips on this? I have the Kirkland wedges and I love them.
Did you tell us what shafts were on both sets? That would make a huge difference.
Also think resale. What will people pay for a used set of P790 compared to usedKirkland irons?
I have the P790s, and oddly enough, my 7i has the most "jumpers". Sometimes the ball will go 200 yards when I average 165 with it.
More importantly than the clubs... what's the song playing at about 9mins when Rick's hitting PW? Banging tune!
Thanks for the review Rick. HIT is great
If you haven’t already, when are you going to review the takoma irons?
I actually think the Kirkland sound better, the p790 sounds a little higher pitched and a little more “hollow” while the Kirkland sounds that deeper and more dead sound, which suits my ear more
Awesome video, I would love to see a video on the Takomo 101’s
Nice review Rick
Basically physics is physics - you have a hard head hitting a small soft ball. The mass is the same, the lofts are much the same, the shaft length and dynamics are much the same, and the USGA R&A rules are there!, and in the end physics wins ..... but golfers still buy for 3 main reasons:
(1) want to buy
(2) need to buy
(3) love to buy
Golf brands including ours - Q Golf - all tell stories that are plausible and we golfers want a reason to buy 😁
obviously the 'influenced by' part is in the hands of their legal teams but good to see clubs of a good quality at better price points for the average consumer
Only for the most unforgiving chopper. Lol
Shaft makes a big difference and the choice obviously. Grip and size even. Chop once or twice a month and go for it.
Love the content as always! Got any sets you want to give away? I down to 3 irons in my set that aren't banged up - they're 10 years old so have played a lot of rounds hah
What a play by the people behind the Kirkland clubs. Never had to do marketing knowing all these content creators review them.
I can't wait to find some second hand. 😊
A review of the Takomo 101’s for high handicap players like me would really love to see if the 490$ is worth it
Hey Rick, great vid as always. Any chance the new Vice clubs will be featured soon?
Did you compare regular shafts on both sets?
Less expensive....yes! However, if u need custom fitting....not happening!
Would love to see a review of the Srixon ZX mkii irons Rick!
The path of being able to be fitted seems real important although numbers don’t lie .. Kirkland held its own for sure
Did Kirkland pull from shelves? I cant find the irons anywhere
I have callaway mavrik max irons rn and would love to get the Kirklands as I’ve become better at golf. Anyone know how much of a difference there is between the two. Also I know this is a shot in the dark but I would gladly take those Kirkland irons off your hands if you are giving them away Rick!
Would be interesting if you align the lofts so they are the same on both sets. Would there actually be any difference?
I love the look of those Kirkland irons
Vice golf irons review? Im super keen to see. Wouldnt swap my current irons out the bag but i am very curious
Do a P790 vs Mizuno 245 comparison.
