Without a doubt this is the most thorough and honest club review that I’ve ever seen on RUclips, the new testing format is outstanding. It would be good to see, if possible, a mid handicap golfer (like Rob) put this driver through it’s paces to see if he would come to the same conclusion. You’ve set a new standard.
Truth be told, I like the older style of reviews better. Don’t get me wrong, the graphics are great - but I’d like to see more action shots of you hitting the driver. Those initial reactions when you hit it, hear the sound, and see the performance on GCQuad, rather than just the recap, are your best work IMO.
Rick, as a long time viewer of your channel I am impressed with your growth. This review is tip top and ticks all the boxes of what golfers would want to know about a driver. Bravo!
I’m liking the new reviews! Not only are you giving us data from GC Quad, you are also giving us real world testing on the course. It is a much more comprehensive review. Well done Mr Shiels!
I really enjoy the on-course and off-course testing, as well as all of the additions to the review process. I think that it makes a big difference. Thanks for putting in all of this work!
Loving the new format Rick! A complete test of on course and dry data over weeks of testing. Can't get more realistic than this. Thanks and keep this going. :)
I just bought this driver today and was hitting balls with the trackman on the range. What is interesting to me is my ball speed was 177 but my total distance and carry was about the same as Ricks. I launch it a little lower but not much. Maybe his is off because it is a simulator? idk
Rick, like the new format of reviews. No one can claim you only hit the club a few times before giving feedback. I was a ‘definitely going to get this club’ before this review. Now going to do a ground up comparison of all clubs including re-shafting my 2016 M1 and staying with that driver.
I've been waiting the in depth review since the original sneak peak review. Love the new format especially the testing comparison chart to make sure you are testing on a consistent base line. Really appreciate the time you have put into the editing etc of this new review style. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the in depth rogue review, especially as I got to play with one myself today.
Really impressed with the thorough approach employed during this review.Clear specific and very informative. This is the new benchmark in equipment testing.
I was apprehensive about the new reviews having two videos for a product but these full reviews are actually very good. They are more informative than before and really good for anyone thinking of buying them. Answering the viewers questions is a good section of the video as is the on course testing.
Wow... Superb review Rick, you should be very proud - this will make a lot of other reviewers take notice (and hopefully a few manufacturers as well!!). Keep the format going. Thank you.
Love the new format! The statistics are brilliant and your approach to testing is the bomb. Keep up the sensational work with the best online reviews. Loving it Rick
Rick although I'm not a fan of the first look videos you are now doing this review is class. Love the graffic your using for the optimal shot numbers and where this club sits in comparison. Look forward to the rest of your full reviews
Just bought this for $225 US it had been hit about 5 times in a simulator. They spent the time to fit me and I'm 10 yards longer if not more than my M-1. Could be due to shaft and weight adjustments but I love it.
Huge home run with this new format Rick! Really found a way to differentiate yourself from the tons of other pro reviews out there while upping the level of information provided to your viewers. Well done. 👍🏻 I think this style will prove, more than ever, that golf clubs will all perform more or less w/in those averages you established and so purchasing decisions will come down to looks, feel, how long since last purchase, and really whether the person just wants a new freakin club. 😂 Re: the twist-face test results, your test may have shown it’s not for you (although maybe u can use it in practice like a training aid to force u to hit only middle 😛), but it did also show that twist-face can make a difference for certain golfers (ie it’s not 100% hype). Thus, like you said, it’s important for people to try it.
Great review Rick, now that’s what I call in-depth club review, your honesty comes through more so in this video maybe because of the format or more likely the time spent hitting hundreds of shots and recording your views as you more or less hit the ball. Well done Rick.
I love the new format !you now seem to be more unbiased!....before you tended to "soften " around the edges when things weren't quite right, now you tell it as it is!.
Definitely thinking of giving this a swing. My miss tends to be low heel with the face open. Thanks for the honest review Rick! Love how you took the time to game it on the course.
I think this has to be one of the better versions of club reviews. The chart with numbers is just so spot on, exactly what I have asked for in previous reviews. What numbers should you hit and in what range is "good". Best thing is that I am still convinced that my first edition M2 driver still is one of the best drivers out there for me. I was intrigued by the epic but it just doesnt look as nice :) keep it up!
Really liked the style change of the review Rick! Extremely thorough and informative for anyone who may be thinking of purchasing this club especially with the new Twist Face tech. Looking forward to more reviews with this format, cheers!
Rick, I actually love this new style of yours... I think it's so cool how you do testing with GC Quad as well as out on the course. Keep up the good work!
Rick, thank you for the amazing review. Honestly I couldn’t be more happy with it. Debunking that the twist face is for everyone. I just bought the epic on sale and I was upset because I wanted this driver. I have the same swing path as you. I have a bad habit of toe hits the the face open so this is definitely not for me. Thank you so much. Looks like a great club for a lot of people.. not for me though! Keep it up Rick! This is your year.
I was somewhat disappointed to have to wait for the in-depth review but I must admit I do like it because it's much more comprehensive and informative. Good Job Rick !!!
Amazing review, Rick! Thank you for taking sufficient time to properly review this product. As always, you remain the best reviewer on the internet. Thanks!
I’m glad this was a real feedback video and not just blowing smoke about this driver. You made it seem like “ok this is New and it’s nice but don’t run out to buy it.”
Rick, this was the best and most comprehensive club review I have ever seen from a reviewer, and I loved it! Thank you for the time you put into this channel, and I hope the reviews will continue to be done like this with loads of information and data! I look forward to your Rogue driver review, as I am curious whether I should even entertain swapping my EPIC out for it. Please test the DRAW model as part of your review. Thanks again Rick!
Thank you for the review and really like the new review format. Shows a lot of dedication on your part to the community as I think this takes a lot more time and effort. Looking forward to seeing all the videos coming out. Thank you!
Great review Rick. Love the new format. Before deciding on any new club I always check out your club reviews and take them to heart before I test them myself. I currently game the 2016 M1 which replaced my SLDR which I loved as well. It’s gonna be tough to get that M1 out of my bag as I know what to expect from it. I can work the ball both ways when I need to and, I get between 275-280 yards carry consistently. M3 is gonna have to wait. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the honest review. The facts you present make me think the pros are probably playing a modified version that doesn’t actually have twist face. Keep up the awesome work! And digging the new review format.
Rick, I truly enjoy this nee 2018 style of product reviews. While the content may come slightly delayed the amount of detail you give is great. I feel the course tests really help find just how well the product will potentially work. Especially for a $500 club.
Big fan of the new reviews. Keep them coming 🤛🏼
Thanks Garrett! Loads more to come.

Pro tip: you can watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Benjamin Marley Yup, have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself =)

Awesome to hear Kurt! Thanks so much for the support 👍
Wow...great review... No 1 Golf equipment reviewer hands down... taking the reviews to an unprecedented level...
Probably the best style and format of club review I’ve ever seen, amazing work.
I’m liking the new reviews! Not only are you giving us data from GC Quad, you are also giving us real world testing on the course. It is a much more comprehensive review. Well done Mr Shiels!
Couldn't be any more thorough or unbiased, complete step up. Well done!
I really enjoy the on-course and off-course testing, as well as all of the additions to the review process. I think that it makes a big difference. Thanks for putting in all of this work!
Loving the new format Rick! A complete test of on course and dry data over weeks of testing. Can't get more realistic than this. Thanks and keep this going. :)
I always like watching these reviews and think... I’ll hopefully get this in about 3 years.
Well here we are!
I got it today! Unfortunately I'm in South Aust and in the middle of a 'probably just 1 week' lockdown. Itching to use it!
Best review of a product of any sort I have ever watched!!! Very informative and honest!!!2 thumbs up Rick!!
Wasn't sure how your new format of reviews would be and I must say, I love it.
Great job
I just bought this driver today and was hitting balls with the trackman on the range. What is interesting to me is my ball speed was 177 but my total distance and carry was about the same as Ricks. I launch it a little lower but not much. Maybe his is off because it is a simulator? idk

This new format for reviews is really raising the bar; what a dramatic change / improvement for viewers.
Well done Rick

Really love this format. Very thorough, and well produced as well. Great job, Rick.
Truly the best review on RUclips by anyone so far!
I was apprehensive about the new reviews having two videos for a product but these full reviews are actually very good. They are more informative than before and really good for anyone thinking of buying them. Answering the viewers questions is a good section of the video as is the on course testing.
Just wanted to say I LOVE the new review style. Much more in depth and comprehensive.
That must of taken you hours. Amazing review Rick and love the honesty about this. 👍🏼
Best review I've seen on any subscribing channel. Absolutely professional. Well done matte
Wow... Superb review Rick, you should be very proud - this will make a lot of other reviewers take notice (and hopefully a few manufacturers as well!!). Keep the format going. Thank you.

Very good review! Lots of info & insights!
First look video isn't really necessary...rather just see this video
Huge home run with this new format Rick! Really found a way to differentiate yourself from the tons of other pro reviews out there while upping the level of information provided to your viewers.

Absolutely love the new review style, much more in depth than before with good numbers to back it up. Keep up the Stellar work Rick!
Possibly the best review I've seen you do.
Optimum performance sheet is absolutely brilliant!!!!! Very good to test drivers like this!

Love the new review style Rick, very professional and informative. It doesn’t get much more thorough!!

2Bad4u it’s not out yet so it’s not like the wait affected your purchase, I believe you can test them now in some stores
Big fan of the new reviews much more in-depth. Keep up the good work 👍
Yer loving the indepth review system & the unbiased way you do them #honest
Very refreshing to see an honest review Rick. Enjoying the new review format also. PS I’m sticking with my 2016 M1 !
Excellent review. Appreciate the honesty about your findings. Really like the new format for the reviews.
Massively upped your game with this review format, would really appreciate you extending this to all the years drivers rogue, f8 etc... Re-subbed 🙂🙂👍👍
Love the new review format - way better to wait a few days and get this kind of in-depth view. Appreciate the work that this must take.
Thank you! The couple of weeks gives me chance to get the product out on the course and answer the questions from you guys! Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing review, Rick! Thank you for taking sufficient time to properly review this product. As always, you remain the best reviewer on the internet. Thanks!
amazing review, it`s amazing how much the quality of the content has increased in the recent years
Love the new review format. Keeps it simple yet in depth. Refreshing!
Absolutely exceptional comprehensive review. How this could get downvotes is beyond me. Great job, Rick!
I’m glad this was a real feedback video and not just blowing smoke about this driver. You made it seem like “ok this is New and it’s nice but don’t run out to buy it.”
Love the new format of the reviews, especially the overlaying of performance factors against your average/target stats and a fair review. Nice one!
Great review it’s golf club reviews at another level. Really in-depth and honest. Really looking forward to the next one. Great job
Great review, nice to have an unbiased opinion of new clubs. Keep them coming.
Best review yet...always needed to test clubs on the course...Cheers!!!
I absolutely love my TwistFace M3. I notice when I hit it on the toe or heal it still shoots as straight as my regular drive with minimal drop off
Hi Rick. Excellent review. I love your new format, especially the table comparing your average stats. Great work!! Looking forward to more.
Rick, this was the best and most comprehensive club review I have ever seen from a reviewer, and I loved it! Thank you for the time you put into this channel, and I hope the reviews will continue to be done like this with loads of information and data! I look forward to your Rogue driver review, as I am curious whether I should even entertain swapping my EPIC out for it. Please test the DRAW model as part of your review. Thanks again Rick!

Like the new review format, also your honest reviews.
Fantastic new review format! Well done, Rick!
Great review Rick, well done, love the new in depth format. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the thorough and informative review, Rick. I love the new review video process!!
Absolutely love the new review method!!!

Great review, Rick. Very thorough.
Great job, Rick! Very well thought out, in depth, and well rounded review. Keep it up!
Hey Rick could we get this driver reviewed with Robby? I'm curious how the twist face performs with mid handicap. Thanks
I can twist the club fairly well at 10.5 loft!
Loving the new review format. Cheers, Rick!
Rick new video format is fantatsic! Great job mate-much appreciated!
Rick, I truly enjoy this nee 2018 style of product reviews. While the content may come slightly delayed the amount of detail you give is great. I feel the course tests really help find just how well the product will potentially work. Especially for a $500 club.
Love the new in depth reviews, keep them coming.
Taking reviews to a whole new level. Love the data comparisons in the beginning- keep it up😃
Fantastic review format, well impressed
Wow!! Now that was a review I can depend on and know what to look for when testing...great job Rick!
