I actually have a pga pro renting a house from me. And hes the same way. Super nice and honest guy and is helping me work on my long game. I'm a massive slicer.
Watching your videos made me build my first set up clubs 5 days ago... I’ve been at the range every last 4 and going to the course tomorrow! You the man rick.
There are a lot of similar videos, but I've decided it's your honesty that has brought you the million subscribers. No BS, admit when you are unsure, uncomfortable, and what part of your game is weak. Some clubs can help, but many times it is us trying to make shots we know we can't make and truly shouldn't try that gets in our head and messes us up. Congrats on your channel. May it continue to grow!
Rick you are awesome! I love how you mix up your content, these club tests on weird shaped clubs and crazy marketing I just love watching! Keep up the good work mate!
you are a hoot............your willingness to share what you do well and also where your trouble lies is refreshing....watch all of you....waiting for my new Ping driver....don't disappoint LOL
I seen your review and thought that club is so ugly,I had to have one. I ordered one.Got it yesterday.Went out and played 9. I used it 3 times It worked perfect all 3 times.I call it my ugly stick.Ugly or not it works for me.
I bought one of these about a year ago and I love it. The rough where I play is about 5 inches, if you are not directly over the ball you won't find it. This club gets through the grass better than any club I have tried.
As a 50 year old just getting back into the game I was treated to 3 Cleveland wedges for my birthday. Adding some lessons and finding the importance of shot distancing that I got from this channel Rick, my short game has been transformed. Don’t know if I’d put this club in the bag but a fair review as always compared to some that immediately look down on unfashionable clubs.
Give it to average high handicap golfer (the real player) see if it improves their score. Low handicap players wouldn't touch anything like this. If it improves high handicap players then it works😆.
Rick puts out some of the best golf videos for everyone of all handicaps he has these great entertaining videos but also some amazing lessons tips and tricks I tell all my golf buddies to follow him! Let's get him to that 1million mark he sure deserves it
Glad you gave it a game-changer status. 3 chips in the end is not sufficient test data. Looks very interesting! Love people/clubs thinking outside the ordinary :)
Hey Rick, great vid as always. Best tip I ever got about tight lie wedge shots was from former tour pro Dean Wilson. I always hit 60 and 56 with a square-ish face and had the same issues as you on tight lies. He told me to go up a club (56 instead of 60, 52 instead of 56 etc) and just open up the face a good amount. This gets the loft up AND helps activate the bounce. That allows you to be more aggressive at the ball since it's really hard to chunk it that way. This literally changed my game and it may help you too. Cheers!!
It is great to see new companies trying to break into the market with innovative products. Everyone has to start somewhere. Very enjoyable video Rick, keep up the great work 👍
hi rick, i think that these innovations will change the game, a new generation of golfers will grow up with them, get used to all these shapes and models that we classify as weird. They will make in one way the game more acceseble and easyer in the high HCPs but even more of a challange once these new generation will hit the tour. Thanks for the video's , great job.
The reason I think Rick is the best youtube golfer is because he always varies his videos but yet all so good.Keep up good work mate lets hit 1milliin subscribers
I think he mostly means that he thinks it could actually be really helpful for many people but that he personally couldn't get past using such an oddball club out on the course with real golfers
Historical perspective. Huge head wedges have been an on/off fad in golf for over 100 years. In the hickory era, giant niblicks were produced by numerous foundries. Most of those are collectables now and did not carry forward much beyond 1930. Most players found them heavy and unwieldly. It was the development of shorter face, broad sole wedges ( Hagen Iron Man, Wilson Sarazen R-90, Spalding Dynamiter, etc.) that altered short game/ recovery shot making for generations to come. As for this club... yeah, a fad as was the famed Alien wedge of infomercial fame.
you have been playing your wedge for years you have the feel for it the new one for me worked better than I expected I would want to try it first but your results with it looked impressive
That’s my best golf time. First thing in the morning, first 3 holes, no warm-up. I’ll sink a birdie or two right off the rip then it’s straight into the trees. Haha. I think it’s cause I’m so casual like “eh, if I mess this up, it’s cause I’m not even warm yet”
Just hit one today (58/11)! Honestly, I loved the weight of the head and the interaction with the golf balls. I was hitting on turf so I'll need to hit on grass eventually, but as a lob wedge if you aren't feeling confident? I love it
Hey Rick just wanted to let you know that I have been working hard on my swing with your help and great tips. The ways you teach is great thanks. If I were to get one it would be the Callaway mavrik thanks. Hope your having a great day thanks for the help.
Rick, you found my garden spade. I knew it would turn up. Thanks!! (edit) - I swear I didnt know you called it a spade in the video before my post. An already barely average joke turned sour!
G'day Rick ...Loving your videos since I found your beaut channel ...I'm a left hander who used to play as low as 5 in the late 1980's and mostly 6 to 10 over about 3 decades ..In 2000 or so I bought a set of King irons . Maybe a brand you're not familiar with but they are perimeter weighted and suited me pretty well at the time . I also had a Prosimmon 2 iron I retained from the previous set . I carried a Nicklaus N1 400 cc driver and a Nicklaus 3 metal and a 7 metal . In 2009 after nearly 40 years of golf I got a bit jaded and had a break ..That break lasted until about two months ago (April 2021) .. I suddenly developed a huge passion again for the great game and in recent times have been looking to get my Australian handicap again ..I am still using the King and Nicklaus clubs and my playing partners are using the new style irons , hybrids and metals ..I've found I've been left behind . Despite that I want to make sure before I invest in new gear that I'm really keen to play reasonable golf again ..Videos like this are great because your reviews on really helpful clubs will help me decide what might help me catch up a bit quicker . Last week I shot 86 on my home 5200 yard rural course with the first card I've returned in 12 years and that included a few approach shot shanks simply due to my hands too forward of the ball and now fixed . Thanks for making my return to golf so enjoyable via you truly fun vids like this ..My aim is to see if I can get to at least 12 handicap again at some time. A few well chosen helpful clubs should help ...Cheers ..
Cool video. I just got my first wedge (apart from pitching and sand) for my bday a couple weeks ago. It's a 60 callaway mack daddy 4, s grind. So fun to hit these clubs, definitely one of the harder parts of the game for me though.
Great video! Thank you for buying and testing these clubs that look sketchy, I'm sure you've saved a lot of people some money 😂. I can't wait for the day the Shiels squad reaches one million subscribers!
Just got back into golf and discovered this channel. Love it full of accessible tips, info and videos. I think ill stick to my vokey 58:8 though and learn to use thst properly. Keep em coming RS
I really Iike the concept behind the design, it makes perfect sense to me. Good to see that it performed well too. I never really understand reviewers who review clubs that perform well and then say " but I'm not sure I would have the confidence to put a club like that in my bag". Surely the fact that it performs better would give you the confidence you need, it's not about what others might think. I wouldn't care if it was green and had tassels if it lowered my score.
Another great video Rick! I play a few times a week and I'm always watching your videos to help me out on the course!! Thanks from Northern California!
Rick, thanx for introducing interesting wedge. I am 11 hcp and have XE1 wedge in my bag for a year. I must say it saves about 3 - 5 strokes a round. I am sure this wedge will do the job as well. You just need to practice and find your OWN routine. Enjoy!
Glad you were honest about the ego thing in having it in your bag as I was watching the vid thinking no way would Rick have it in his bag, no matter how good it was. However, it's really geared towards non-pros anyway
I first saw your Facebook vids about a year ago and from then subsided instantly but from that I’ve honestly came on so much from then. My chipping shots are awful from the fringe and edge of the green so I may Invest in the spade shaped wedge haha, but I currently use the 7 iron as I saw a video of you using it and it’s transformed my game. I’d rather land on the fringe for my tee shot then use my 7 iron as It’s a long putter as I say. But the vid you put up helped me massively when you said it works for some pros but not everyone. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for the tips and tricks! 🙂
Agree that the shot you like least is mine as well. I use a 7 or 8 iron on these shots lol. Almost hit hit like a putter stroke. Served me well over the years.
I have a club that’s a hybrid between a putter and a wedge. I find it really useful when I’m within 20 yards of the green. When I’m that close to the green, I can’t get enough backspin with my wedges to keep the ball from rolling off the green.
After 4 months of playing it, I can say with authority that this wedge is terrible in heavy or wet sand using a classic bunker swing. BUT - from Matt Fryer's youtube review showing him sort of struggling with bunker shots - his observations uncovered the secret for heavy/packed sand. Play every bunker shot like a plugged lie - the farther the required shot - the more aggressive the downward strike. If you have this wedge - do this! It worked and saved me from early-retiring this (otherwise great from VERY bad lies) wedge.
Hey Rick Shiels! Big fan! I would love to get the King Cobra Speedzone Extreme, the same one you put in your golf bag recently. This would be an amazing gift for my Cousin who I am really close with, and if I win, he would be amazed. It’s his birthday coming up , and just like you, and he wants more forgiveness on his driver because the Callaway Rogue isn’t finding the fairway. Thanks!
I do the same technique for tight lies with my lob wedge. If it's a 15-30 foot chip I do that. If it's any further I flattened the lob wedge and scoop under it for about 8 yards of carry and soft landing. Sometimes I'll take my driver out and just tap the ball and let it roll true. I look to be creative pending the situation.
I have a club like this in my bag, its called the Lovatt wedge and its like the cutter but with a big, heavy solid head, and its 58 degrees. Its in the deep rough or buried lies where it really shines due to the shape of the face. I call it my 'get of jail club' and its really proven its worth many times....just cant take it out the bag until I improve enough not to banana it into the rough! Great vid Rick 😁👍
Come on people let's get Rick to 1 million subs because he tells us what clubs could be good for certain types of players and what isn't so good. You have helped me with your great tips and will come in handy because I just got a membership for my birthday today so I will be out on the course a lot. Thanks for being on RUclips.👍
From your tests, the club definitely has potential. I believe it would be worthwhile to try it more to get comfortable with it. Thanks for the review, I believe I’ll try that new cutter wedge.
I gotta give this guy credit. He’s like that baseball player that’s too good for AAA but not good enough for the show. Yet he found a way to be somewhat relevant. Well done chap
I am using face forward wedges, 52 and 56, (shaft comes down in the middle of the club face) which will do everything the Cutter wedge will do and do it better and more consistently.
Though I'm probably keeping my Tom Watson Adams wedges in the bag for life (lol maybe)...it seems a good tool in a pro's hands. However-it is always my opinion to play the club you're most comfortable with on a tight lie around the green. I putt from there too (or putt with a 5-iron if there's a distance to travel).
if u like it from the get go .. work at it ... u just might end up loving it .. i have a c3 I 65 degree wedge .. took me some time to learn it .. loving it now !
Well, Rick I watched the video and immediately sent away for the Cutter wedge. I have to say that when you review a product, I forget that you are a professional golfer so your shots are going to be on the mark regardless of the club you use. It’ll be interesting to see how the club works for a high handicap golfer like myself.
@@rbnhd1976 I find that the club works well. However, it takes a lot of getting used to. I am not at the point where I could trust it to give me good results consistently. BTW I broke my femur 8 weeks ago so I have been wheelchair bound. Hope to be on the golf course in August.
Hit these balls for the first time today and for the first round they felt great. I had been using the Srixon Z Star XV and the Bridgestone feels alot softer which I like. The sound is more to my preference and shooting 5 over helps too. Great ball so far and I thought felt better than the Pro V1's with the limited sample. Thanks for this review Rick.
Cutter wedge vs C3i? They seem to be trying to solve the same problem. I love my C3i, although I call it my “cheater wedge” out on the course. I’d love to see or hear a comparison, Rick. Love your channel! Very informative and by far the most entertaining golf channel.
Hey Rick, another awesome video, have you ever seen a Lovett Wedge, a friend of mine a few years ago introduced me to his "hybrid wedge" I found one almost brand new on eBay for about $50 and it is in my bag to this day. Keep up the informative vids, they are appreciated
I have one! Bought it new waaaay back. The thing with the Lovett was that (according to them) you could setup square at address in the bunker and just swing away. Really, you still had to hit the sand first an inch behind the ball like any other bunker shot, but the weight of the head helped not quitting on the shot like many high handicappers do.
I actually like that club and will be buying it.... with my normal it’s either beautiful or I hit it thin and boy that upsets me. I’m hoping this ups my game!!! I think it actually looks cool tho. Granted I haven’t held it, that could change when I grip it and look down. Thanks Rick! I love how you show new clubs!
Thankyou for your golf club reviews ... by changeing what i have in the bag, i have been able to shave 15 strokes off my score. Largely based on your reviews. Items that i incorporated are kirkland wedge set, ks1 putter, square strike wedge, cutter 56 degree wedge and maxfli - straightfli golf balls. Every item made a positive differrence. While i do watch your other content ... the reviews were a big draw for me. Keep up what your doing. Bye the way, This is the only youtube Channel i have ever subscribed To. Good job.
Hi Rick, I use another "weird" wedge. The Ray Cook shot saver designed by Alien. Best club in the bag. I never get stuck in the sand, can spin the ball around the green with ease. Try it out if you haven't already.
Don’t forget to *subscribe* !! someone has to win a driver of their choice!!
Pleaseeeeee let me win it🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Ya mum maybe!!!
Can't wait for the winner to be announced!!!! Again keep up the great videos mate, really makes me want to get on the course....
Ohh I thought you gave that away already.
I would love a sim max. Win or lose I live the channel.
With all the weird and strange clubs that you’ve tested you ought to take them all out and play 9 holes for a laugh😆
great video idea
Do it!
Very good idea
Please! hahaha
Yeah
We all know the coolest part of the video is him picking up and catching 5 balls in one hand.
6 balls broski haha even cooler:) I think it was 6 anyway lol
Was looking for this comment
That is badass. I wanna learn how to do it
Cought me completely off guard. Just so suddle about it aswell🤣
Just think wow no matter how good I get at golf I’ll never look as cool as a scoop and catch. Ricks an og
3:46-3:54 No one gonna talk about how damn smooth that was?😂
I have been trying this every time i have my wedge out. I just cannot do it. Maybe you Rick needs to have an episode on this.
I would absolutely watch that video
I would watch that for sure. I can bounce the ball on my wedge while I’m holding it but not like that😂 shit lol
Ok...that was pretty cool
Was literally going to comment the same thing lol that’s was slick!
"the logo on the back is quite bold" while wearing that hat lol
honestly the logo on the club isnt as offensive as that hat but then thats nike for you brash and offensive
I like the fact that he’s honest enough to say that what’s holding him back is his “professional ego” 👌🏼
I actually have a pga pro renting a house from me. And hes the same way. Super nice and honest guy and is helping me work on my long game. I'm a massive slicer.
Watching your videos made me build my first set up clubs 5 days ago... I’ve been at the range every last 4 and going to the course tomorrow! You the man rick.
Great to see a new company innovating! Good luck to them!
It's a restomod of the giant niblicks of the 1920's.
There are a lot of similar videos, but I've decided it's your honesty that has brought you the million subscribers. No BS, admit when you are unsure, uncomfortable, and what part of your game is weak.

May it continue to grow!
At 3:46 can we all recognize how good he is at flicking the ball up with the wedge
Rick you are awesome! I love how you mix up your content, these club tests on weird shaped clubs and crazy marketing I just love watching!
Keep up the good work mate!
you are a hoot............your willingness to share what you do well and also where your trouble lies is refreshing....watch all of you....waiting for my new Ping driver....don't disappoint LOL
I seen your review and thought that club is so ugly,I had to have one.
I ordered one.Got it yesterday.Went out and played 9. I used it 3 times

Tell the truth, you failed the last shot on purpose!!!
I honestly saw that shady chip coming! smh
It did seem that way, too much control for that to go wrong
5handicap on a good day
Give it to average high handicap golfer (the real player) see if it improves their score. Low handicap players wouldn't touch anything like this. If it improves high handicap players then it works😆.
@@ecosse543 I agree. I just bought one. Hope it helps!
Rick puts out some of the best golf videos for everyone of all handicaps he has these great entertaining videos but also some amazing lessons tips and tricks I tell all my golf buddies to follow him! Let's get him to that 1million mark he sure deserves it
Interesting club there Rick! Think I'll stick with my Cleveland wedges!
Glad you gave it a game-changer status. 3 chips in the end is not sufficient test data. Looks very interesting! Love people/clubs thinking outside the ordinary :)
You should play a round with all the gimmick clubs you collected
yes,he should
Hey Rick, great vid as always. Best tip I ever got about tight lie wedge shots was from former tour pro Dean Wilson.

Rick you’re my favorite British person of all time ! Don’t tell Pete 😂
I do enjoy your videos, us old vets also enjoy honesty, You seem to have that. Keep up the great work.
It is great to see new companies trying to break into the market with innovative products. Everyone has to start somewhere. Very enjoyable video Rick, keep up the great work 👍
hi rick, i think that these innovations will change the game, a new generation of golfers will grow up with them, get used to all these shapes and models that we classify as weird. They will make in one way the game more acceseble and easyer in the high HCPs but even more of a challange once these new generation will hit the tour. Thanks for the video's , great job.
3:45 okay... no need to flex 😂😂
I'm sorry it took me so long to tell you how much I enjoy your videos!! You're awesome!!!
Here’s a video of the inventor. NOTE: He was inspired by how he hit the wedge with the TOE. Like you do. ruclips.net/video/-mxdlyCgzYM/видео.html
The reason I think Rick is the best youtube golfer is because he always varies his videos but yet all so good.Keep up good work mate lets hit 1milliin subscribers
Love the upload , bit confused at end when you said leave out the bag, however rated it a game changer!
🤔 what do u mean? ⛳⛳⛳⛳
I think he mostly means that he thinks it could actually be really helpful for many people but that he personally couldn't get past using such an oddball club out on the course with real golfers
I'm not by any means a good golfer ,but I love Rick's enthusiasm and infectious humour. He reminds me of a happy Carl Pilkington !!!!😎👍🤣🤣
“Thanks for watching guys! This just works.” - Rick Shiels
Yes but will Rick put a non top club manufacturer club in his bag even if it works???
Rj Mac doesn’t matter the brand, it just matters what you like
Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies.... it just works.....
Historical perspective. Huge head wedges have been an on/off fad in golf for over 100 years. In the hickory era, giant niblicks were produced by numerous foundries. Most of those are collectables now and did not carry forward much beyond 1930. Most players found them heavy and unwieldly.

As for this club... yeah, a fad as was the famed Alien wedge of infomercial fame.
Hey guys, I just started playing golf and now I am wondering if this iron is legal to use. Is it?
Greetings from Germany
Yes, USGA complaint too
From what I can see, and what Rick mentioned, it's basically a 56° wedge with an enlarged face. Legal.
Great video- love it! You make a simple wedge test into a really fun watch. I look forward to all of the driver shaped wedges coming out soon!
you have no idea how quickly i’m gonna buy this when i retire 😂
you have been playing your wedge for years you have the feel for it the new one for me worked better than I expected I would want to try it first but your results with it looked impressive
I find it difficult to believe that one can make an accurate evaluation of a club after hitting it only three times.
good thing he hit it a lot more than 3 times then.
I like your swing. It’s really just a natural swing and you make it look easy!! Thx for the videos and all the great tips! Keep them coming......
The condition of that practice green is like me when I wake up in the morning
Well used?
That’s my best golf time. First thing in the morning, first 3 holes, no warm-up. I’ll sink a birdie or two right off the rip then it’s straight into the trees. Haha. I think it’s cause I’m so casual like “eh, if I mess this up, it’s cause I’m not even warm yet”
Just hit one today (58/11)! Honestly, I loved the weight of the head and the interaction with the golf balls. I was hitting on turf so I'll need to hit on grass eventually, but as a lob wedge if you aren't feeling confident? I love it
I would love the Cobra King SZ driver!
Hey Rick just wanted to let you know that I have been working hard on my swing with your help and great tips. The ways you teach is great thanks. If I were to get one it would be the Callaway mavrik thanks. Hope your having a great day thanks for the help.
A tad bit freaky looking, but I would be curious to the "balance-feel" of it.
I would like to see a full set of irons in this style. Blades and CB would be interesting to see the results!
Rick, you found my garden spade. I knew it would turn up. Thanks!! (edit) - I swear I didnt know you called it a spade in the video before my post. An already barely average joke turned sour!
I love your honesty and descriptions! Thanks Rick! Oh and you can send the wedge to me...I need help! Lol
No golf ego here too, ill take as much help as I can get
I feel like the only faults we're when you were manipulating the club.

A lot of them are sent from the companies. A video like his is worth a ton for these companies.
The US is full of gimmick clubs like this, they are everywhere

Can u say..."its a bit ugly" again please🤣
Itsa bit oougglay
The wierd club tests are very fun and enjojable. Keep doing amzing content!

if you would like to try the club...use RS10OFF for 10% off. Good luck!
Low key, picking up the golf balls with the club and hitting it once before catching it in one take. Impressive
Agree that the shot you like least is mine as well. I use a 7 or 8 iron on these shots lol. Almost hit hit like a putter stroke. Served me well over the years.
I have a club that’s a hybrid between a putter and a wedge. I find it really useful when I’m within 20 yards of the green. When I’m that close to the green, I can’t get enough backspin with my wedges to keep the ball from rolling off the green.

Play every bunker shot like a plugged lie - the farther the required shot - the more aggressive the downward strike. If you have this wedge - do this! It worked and saved me from early-retiring this (otherwise great from VERY bad lies) wedge.
Hey Rick Shiels! Big fan! I would love to get the King Cobra Speedzone Extreme, the same one you put in your golf bag recently. This would be an amazing gift for my Cousin who I am really close with, and if I win, he would be amazed. It’s his birthday coming up , and just like you, and he wants more forgiveness on his driver because the Callaway Rogue isn’t finding the fairway. Thanks!
I do the same technique for tight lies with my lob wedge. If it's a 15-30 foot chip I do that. If it's any further I flattened the lob wedge and scoop under it for about 8 yards of carry and soft landing. Sometimes I'll take my driver out and just tap the ball and let it roll true. I look to be creative pending the situation.
I always hit an 8 iron from there (thanks for that tip). That bump-n-run has been a game changer for me.
I have a club like this in my bag, its called the Lovatt wedge and its like the cutter but with a big, heavy solid head, and its 58 degrees. Its in the deep rough or buried lies where it really shines due to the shape of the face. I call it my 'get of jail club' and its really proven its worth many times....just cant take it out the bag until I improve enough not to banana it into the rough! Great vid Rick 😁👍
Such a relief to know I’m not alone putting from off the green!
Come on people let's get Rick to 1 million subs because he tells us what clubs could be good for certain types of players and what isn't so good. You have helped me with your great tips and will come in handy because I just got a membership for my birthday today so I will be out on the course a lot. Thanks for being on RUclips.👍
This was a fun video to watch, thanks for the videos you put out.
Thanks for all of your golf knowledge!! Thank you for sharing it with the world!
From your tests, the club definitely has potential. I believe it would be worthwhile to try it more to get comfortable with it. Thanks for the review, I believe I’ll try that new cutter wedge.
I gotta give this guy credit. He’s like that baseball player that’s too good for AAA but not good enough for the show. Yet he found a way to be somewhat relevant. Well done chap
Rick I enjoy your videos the club is 56 degrees you have a sweet swing thank you wish you were closer
I am using face forward wedges, 52 and 56, (shaft comes down in the middle of the club face) which will do everything the Cutter wedge will do and do it better and more consistently.
Yet another informative and well rounded review keep up the good work rick wont be long before you hit that 1 million
The music you pick in your videos 👌🏾
Though I'm probably keeping my Tom Watson Adams wedges in the bag for life (lol maybe)...it seems a good tool in a pro's hands. However-it is always my opinion to play the club you're most comfortable with on a tight lie around the green. I putt from there too (or putt with a 5-iron if there's a distance to travel).
It's a shame what happened to Adams Golf. Best clubs I ever gamed.
Tom Watson was my inspiration to create the Cutter Wedge. if you would like to try the club...use RS10OFF for 10% off. Good luck!
Interesting wedge, I too have the same issue around the green and would prefer to putt, I guess the answer is to putt. Great video.
if u like it from the get go .. work at it ... u just might end up loving it .. i have a c3 I 65 degree wedge .. took me some time to learn it .. loving it now !
Well, Rick I watched the video and immediately sent away for the Cutter wedge. I have to say that when you review a product, I forget that you are a professional golfer so your shots are going to be on the mark regardless of the club you use. It’ll be interesting to see how the club works for a high handicap golfer like myself.
How's it going yo did you try it
@@rbnhd1976 I find that the club works well. However, it takes a lot of getting used to. I am not at the point where I could trust it to give me good results consistently. BTW I broke my femur 8 weeks ago so I have been wheelchair bound. Hope to be on the golf course in August.
@@davidbrown5152 god bless speedy recovery
@@rbnhd1976 Thanks. Looks like I may be able to play 9 holes in October. Have a great summer.
Hit these balls for the first time today and for the first round they felt great. I had been using the Srixon Z Star XV and the Bridgestone feels alot softer which I like. The sound is more to my preference and shooting 5 over helps too. Great ball so far and I thought felt better than the Pro V1's with the limited sample. Thanks for this review Rick.
Cutter wedge vs C3i? They seem to be trying to solve the same problem. I love my C3i, although I call it my “cheater wedge” out on the course. I’d love to see or hear a comparison, Rick. Love your channel! Very informative and by far the most entertaining golf channel.
Hey Rick, another awesome video, have you ever seen a Lovett Wedge, a friend of mine a few years ago introduced me to his "hybrid wedge" I found one almost brand new on eBay for about $50 and it is in my bag to this day. Keep up the informative vids, they are appreciated
I have one! Bought it new waaaay back. The thing with the Lovett was that (according to them) you could setup square at address in the bunker and just swing away. Really, you still had to hit the sand first an inch behind the ball like any other bunker shot, but the weight of the head helped not quitting on the shot like many high handicappers do.
I’ve been loving the vids all through the last few months keep em coming. Sim driver :)
I actually like that club and will be buying it.... with my normal it’s either beautiful or I hit it thin and boy that upsets me. I’m hoping this ups my game!!! I think it actually looks cool tho. Granted I haven’t held it, that could change when I grip it and look down. Thanks Rick! I love how you show new clubs!
if you would like to try the club...use RS15OFF for 15% off. Good luck!
It reminds me of the Cleveland Golf VAS irons... Remember those? Corey Pavin has a few big wins using the VAS irons...
Thankyou for your golf club reviews ... by changeing what i have in the bag, i have been able to shave 15 strokes off my score. Largely based on your reviews. Items that i incorporated are kirkland wedge set, ks1 putter, square strike wedge, cutter 56 degree wedge and maxfli - straightfli golf balls. Every item made a positive differrence. While i do watch your other content ... the reviews were a big draw for me. Keep up what your doing. Bye the way, This is the only youtube Channel i have ever subscribed To. Good job.
Getting close to the million well done you Rick
Hi Rick, I use another "weird" wedge. The Ray Cook shot saver designed by Alien. Best club in the bag. I never get stuck in the sand, can spin the ball around the green with ease. Try it out if you haven't already.
Almost reminds me of the Alien wedge. I still have one and love it.
