Well done on the 2 mil subscribers. Keep up the good work.
I'm sure i speak for everyone we really really want the break 75 back it was the best series of golfing you could ever do and it was so unique to you and watching you play great and bad golf at some of the best courses in the country please bring it back!!!
To answer about clubs that are long gone now. Up until last year I had a set of snake eyes irons 😂
Let them go to a friend starting out and I got them in a car boot for 30 quid 3iron through to sand wedge.
Why dont you get a robot to replicate Ricks swing and do the testing so that every swing is the same and the underlying numbers would be a lot more accurate?
Bang on. No surprise with my golf spy. In my experience they like to discredit other reviewers to almost validate their own work. Stepping on the backs of others to climb the ladder. They started this years ago with attacking golf digest gold list. Good content is good content. And all good content is relevant. I've followed MGS for more the 10 years. Back when they were testing in a garage and sending emails... I'm new to Rick Shiels, maybe 2 years on other platforms. I've stopped following MGS because of this crap. Your content is fun, and relatable. Keep up the great work guys
Definitely agree, sometimes people just want to hear some light hearted options on something. Like if their buddy was telling them about it. Not everyone cares or wants to know about all the nitty gritty details.
Different strokes for different folks they say haha
Congrats Rick on 2M subs. Also, your unbiased reviews are greatly appreciated. Really wish every company would go back to less driver models and a minimum 2-yr product cycle.
Seriously! Think it would do everyone a solid. Unfortunately I’m guessing that won’t happen due to ‘stock holders’ and greed sadly.
Ping
Congrats on 2 million subscribers! Great response to MyGolfSpy as well.
Rick, you need to review older clubs in your new club reviews! Compare the stealth to the M3 or something. It would be interesting to see if the small “insignificant” improvements in clubs add up over time. Maybe the SIM 2 wasn’t better than the SIM, but maybe it’s better than the M1? I think people would love that
Congrats on the 2 million Rick....from St.Louis area. IL side....some great courses here Gateway. the Bluffs Bellerive....Stonewolf....
I love RS my golf bag is set to his reviews. I was a bad golfer ⛳️ and after watching RS I broke 100 and now at 80-90 playing with RS tips and reviews/advise. Thank you so much 🙏!
Congratulations Rick and the team on reaching 2 million subscribers!
This is just a thought that popped into my head but how about instead of forgive or condem you could maybe call it condone or condem?
I love all the content you've created and I am a member of the clubhouse 👍⛳
Hey Guy, please move your headphone cable to inside your left arm so you don’t hit it every time you gesture. Please see 6:25 to about 8 mins. Thank you.
Also great stuff on the 2m! Congrats to all!
I subscribed to you Rick because of your honest reviews. That's what got me hooked and I have to watch all you videos now. The fact that they either can't see your honesty or trying to discredit you is ridiculous. Keep true man. Love your work.
I'm with you 100% Rick, i find your reviews, unbiased and very relevant to all handicap levels and anyone even vaguely interested in golf, keep them coming Rick and TRULY WELL EARNED CONGRATUALTIONS ON REACHING 2 MILLION !! OMG !!!!
Congrats Rick! Also don’t forget what got you here and that is equipment reviews you were the original equipment review guru and now it feels like you want to do everything except that and the reviews were what drew ppl to you and it’s what we all loved.
Please bring back:
vlogs with the boys
Break 75
Random challenges
Comparison reviews
I love your content! Please keep em coming! Cheers to 22!
2 million subscribers can't be wrong, you are doing the right thing we all love to hear and see, keep up the good work and disregard those who don't agree.
Orlimar! Can't forget them, my grandpa used to be a sales rep for them. Great memories riding around with him going to different shops to make deliveries.
So true about the Stealth and Rogue. A few of my mates work at True Fit Golf in Warrington. They've said enquiries for the Stealth has been massive compared to anything else.
Also Rick, I'm now 42, I've done no real fitness last 2 years and my speed and distance has absolutely plummeted! 😭😭😭😭
We call this "SCOREBOARD" 2 million suds verses 46,000 subs. No competition. Great driver reviews.
Congrats on the 2M. I am so proud of you and the team and Finch. Been following you guys for longer than I can remember. Sorry you had to deal with the beef. I believe you, TXG, Crossfield, Mygolfspy are all trying to help us regular golfers be better. Good luck and stay safe. Also, love the family pics on IG. I still remember when your first child was born. Time flies, brother.
Carden Park is around the corner from me. Up the A41 is a long drive off the Motorway. You should try Aldersey Green (my club) halfway up the A41 before Carden Park.
Glad to have you back lads.
Nice to tear yourselves away from your 5 shot reviews to have a chat. 🤣
Congrats to you and your team, Rick! I'm really disappointed with that mygolfspy comment. I hope they contact you about it.
Your first birdie is just like a hole in one for a newish player, so well done to that guy, fantastic. I've been playing quite a few years and get birdies, alas still get too many bogeys! Never had a hole in one! However, last year I had and eagle on a par 4, so exciting, just like a hole in one for me. Only downside was, I never saw it go in, ridge in front of green. Love the show, there will always be naysayers, ignore them don't rise to their bait.
Two Million is an impressive number for sure. Most TH-camrs would be over the moon for just 10% of that. Congrats and keep up the content. You know that the air becomes much rarer the higher up you go.
Rick and Guy, keep up the great conversation. Thanks guys
Your reviews are what guides me.And I've improved because of this channel. It's that simple.YOUR THE BEST AT REVIEWS.PERIOD.
Please film a shot for shot video of the two of you. Guy is hilarious & you two are a great team.
Re the best golfer on youtube. Rick, please give Dan or Paul Hendrikson a game of Matchplay. 9 holes on each Channel. They make the best (seriously) golf bloggs on youtube with many camera angles etc and Lots of great banter. Be really good to see. Thanks for all you do on to inspire us and make Golf fun. 👍☺️
Well done Rick on 2 million subscribers, keep up the good work
Cheers!
Like Guy, I have vowed to play a lot more golf this year. I was hospitalised through Covid a year ago and spent a lot of last year recovering but managed five rounds before year end. My handicap over those five went from 28 to 34.1 so I have also resolved to get as close to halving it as I can.
Congratulations on 2M subscribers Rick and co. Never forget, I was subscriber number 645,987.
I 100% trust your reviews! You have no reason to promote or demote any club. I appreciate your process and honesty. I'm personally still curious about the Stealth, I don't feel like you "beat it up" or convinced me to not buy it. You gave the positives and negatives. Thanks again for this channel and what you do.
For real I travel to London Tuesday and Wednesday home from Manchester and this is the ultimate travel and chill podcast. Gives me my fix of golf between tournaments at weekends and playing when it’s not to cold to play in the cold north west 😂
On Taylormade, what nobody is saying is that there's also a big incentive to switch from titanium to carbon faces: it's cheaper. If they can make the switch and get similar results, good for them, but this is also a clever long-term move to increase margins.
Congrats again!! My goal is to walk a local 9 hole municipal course 2 times a week and hit the range once a week. Lots of range-time now with the snow and cold.....it is fun. The "cool" thing is.....I am not hitting under the infrared heaters every time....battling extra layers of clothing, etc. Love the video!
Any time you need a break and a relaxing round with no pressures just to enjoy a different scenery you would always be weldome at my course.
i was playing my Cobra SZ 440 from 2002 until last year, grabbed an R1 from a friend for $50 and was getting 30 more yds on average, i guess that old Cobra was just not the right club for me. What a feeling getting that kind of yardage, it felt illegal almost. Ive got a SIM MAX now and its slightly better then the R1 for me.
I still use my #5 White Hot putter from 2002 as well, that works!
Congrats Rick!! I have to say, all you have to do is keep being honest with your views and be you and the numbers will take care of themselves.
Guy, happy New Year! Loved the show. The odds of a hole in one are one in 12,500 strokes for golfers who are not professionals.
Great episode guys! I really do love the look of the new Stealth driver, just not sure if I can justify the price...
Thank you!
The best comparison I can think of for people wanting the latest and greatest and willing to pay the money, is the same way 99% of football fans want the latest shirt that their team comes out with, they know it’s the same as last years, they know it’s expensive but it’s a staying relevant stigma… just my two cents… love the podcasts, keep up the great work fellas!!!
Please get Lando on the podcast. He’s an amazing talent on the track and seems like he’s a big golfer. Would be awesome
You're the golf guy Rick!
Congratulations!
Love/RESPECT from 🇨🇦
Congrats on the 2 mil, but when is the good good collab comming. We are al waiting for it !!!
Horns blaring, cymbals crashing, fireworks exploding, music playing!!!
CONGRATULATIONS on 2MIL!!!
See Simons video at SAS Golf for his thoughts on why Taylor Made thrash Callaway on launches and social media hits. Think he has nailed it. Simon also references your review views to show the different numbers between these two launches
Agree with your points on MyGolfSpy but I will say I think it would be a good idea in the reviews to be clear on specifically how many shots you hit over how many days because on some reviews you say “I hit loads” but I think giving more context to the scope of your testing wouldn’t take much extra time in the review. Obviously you guys grind. Congrats on the 2M subs!
Great pod gents, thoroughly enjoyed it
Congrats on 2M subs! Cheers from 🇵🇦
Guy, you are so articulate with your words. What a podcast!!
Greetings from Germany. Nice podcast, it gives me interesting stories from the golf world and helps me learning english. Still struggle sometimes to understand Guy though. Congratulations on 2 million subscribers on your main channel.
Congratulations on making 2 million subscribers. Your response to mygolfspy was great
I like golfing on my own early in the mornings. Sometimes, you meet some randoms. Sometimes not and I catch up on podcasts. I actually got a hole in one when playing alone. The only thing I regret is no-one being able to verify it. Otherwise, great time.
On the Elipitical , prepping for May ...°12 out ...lol . congrats on the podcast !
Also, been following your other channel, I have no earthly idea why I wasn't already subbed to this too. For shame!!
Congrats on 2 million!! Keep up the great videos!! When will we have The Shiels show on the golf channel?
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers!
I'm thankful for your work ethic and honest reviews.
You guys are great, don’t change a thing
I actually play Wilson (Staff) irons! Have for a number of years. Love them. That said, I'm a terrible golfer...LOL!
My golf spy comments to Rick reminds me of when Jeremy Clarkson used to get criticised when he gave a less enthusiastic review of a car. End of the day we buy a car based on affordability looks and how It drives after taking it out on a test drive. We have enough to think about standing over a golf ball that ball speed!! Keep it up Rick. Up the revolution
That was a spot on point Rick. It should work on your very first shot. If something is that revolutionary that will change someone's game, it has to work out of the box. The first time someone handed me the Odyssey two-ball I instantly started making more putts.
Fantastic work guys. I was at. Styal golf course and the members were talking about how good the channel is
Mygolfspy seems to be arrogant and should not criticize other reviews when they don't know how you reviewed it. There is not one golf club that fits everyone. I'm 66 years old and don't have the flexibility I used to. They don't seem to review clubs for people with slow swing speeds. I don't subscribe to their channel anymore.
Rick, your channel has helped me understand how to improve my swing and it's also entertaining and makes me laugh. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great advice.
P.S. Golfspy owes you a apology!
One of the best podcasts I have watched. I love the way you defended your review. How could anyone presume you only took 5-10 drives, when the real total was probably in the region of 200. If they watched any of your previous reviews they should have concluded that you always take LOTS of test shots. Congrats and never pay much attention to BEGRUDGERS!
I trust what you did. I have played for a long time including the LDA tours . The one thing is especially in America the calibration in some places you buy are slightly off on the good side lol. Testing drivers and hitting driver after driver isn’t how we play bodies cool down after a chip and a putt but they like you to pound shot after shot. I use cobra f9 and sometimes pxg driver the cobra isn’t the longest but very forgiving. I tested the stealth I lost ball speed. 1-2 mph. The new callaway rogue max I gained but your talking very minimal I swing at 127mph so the moi is going to be maxed out for me. I also believe people start thinking about distance instead of course conditions and start speeding up their swing while finding a groove. So all in all I can tell you I hit an older Nike vr as far as a pxg. Cudos to Rick I enjoy his videos!
Great podcast, laughed all the way home from work, just great banter with the 2 lads, great reply to the golf spy forum article, they obviously didn’t do their homework, surely they knew Rick gets fitted at all the big names and spends hours running numbers on new equipment. I hope the reply and come on the show to make amends. It really sounded like a replay from a forum who were promoting Taylornade. Keep the quality content coming lads 👍👍👍
Congrats on the 2 mill. I always feel most content creators always seem reluctant to criticise taylormade after the mark crossfield situation.
Don't get the MyGolfSpy thing, I watch a couple reviewers that I enjoy including you, none of them have had MASSIVE difference between last years Sim2 and the Stealth. The thing it sounds like, it might be more forgiving on off hits, which helps the average golfer more. I just changed from an old 3 wood, got fitted into a Sim2, and it is much the same. That old 3 wood that I have used for well over a decade I can still hit the same distance as the new one, but I can reliably hit the Sim2 that distance even if the swing is slightly off, where as with my old one, I would lose 20-30 yards quickly on slightly off center hits, and the dispersion was massively smaller on the new one. The advantage of something new versus something a decade old, is mostly how easy it is to get your max out of it.
Congrats on 2 million subscribers!!!
MGS has posted reels on Instagram of their tour of Taylor Made in California. I too think the favor certain products in their reviews. Also, they do not necessarily test all possible brands in their reviews. I love your work and reviews...the best on TH-cam!!!
Nice one Rick, Years of hard work and dedication 👍🏼
Congratulations Rick on attaining two million subscribers
2,000,000 what an awesome achievement! Well done to you and the team, great content so not a surprise really
Great podcast.... never been a big RS fan (not a hater) but I love this. He and Guy are really growing on me.
Maybe Rick Shiels only need 5 hits to know the deal rather then waste time and money like some other testers do.
You now have a new ad/test campaign/category(ies) utilizing the 5 hits thing. IE...the 5 hit club (or 5HC), the truth in 5 hits, 5 Hit Series, The 5 hit Test, 5 Times The Tester, 5 Rules for Testing,...you should get the drift and curb it to your desires/needs. (Just remember me and help a brother out if possible.)
Been watching you for a while but had to subscribe after your calm, cool, and classy response to shots fired.
Great Pod ! mix of everything , golf, lifestyle, beef , goals and ambitions, just one point when you discussed Carden earlier I think Rick was thinking about a different course, when recollecting lessons with Adrian Hill ; I believe Adrian was based at Portal , which rings true when you mention the 9 hole achademy and massive indoor putting green *which Portal has. Easy mistake to make as Portal and Carden arent too far apart , and I have been lucky to be a member of both and believe they are 2 of the best resorts in the North.. Keep up the good work and look forward to 180+ ball speed soon
Thanks so much!
I respect MyGolfSpy reviews but there's been some instances where I've thought they push a product more than others.
Late night beer in hand, first podcast in 2 weeks let’s gooo
Only relatively few people are ever able to get their handicaps down into single digits. But anyone can buy and use the latest gear. Although I don't chase the latest and greatest, I can remember a time when I did and certainly understand those who do. To each his (or her) own.
Guy I must say that is the best resolution ever, no one can complain at more golf
The odds that the 2@ from MyGolfSpy apologizes to Rick are “one in a lot”
Took me a minute to decode “2@“. Well done 👍
@@TheDryDown I seriously just came up with it. Thank you, sir
@@FiftyLibros Very impressive! I wonder if Rick or Guy decoded as well or have you created yet another controversy will MGS?? Bravo!! 😂
@@TheDryDown Oh, hopefully both! I loved how Rick was containing his indignation on the podcast, while he and Guy still responded firmly to the aforementioned 2@
Congats on the 2 million. Your review was in keeping with all the other ones I've seen. Same distance, slightly higher ball speed. The review at 2nd Swing pointed out that the stock shaft that Taylormade put in the driver was more whippy than other comparable shafts. That showed up in their data. The new Stealth driver showed slightly higher ball speed than the older driver but the dispersion was worse. I love MyGolfSpy but from what I saw they tested the Stealth on Taylormade's terms and I'm not sure they are judging it properly.
Put it in the fairway . That's what matters ! Good Players don't care what you hit club wise , nor the distance . The Score is all that matters in the end , not Ego !
Been missing this podcast the last couple weeks
Ultimately it's the shaft that makes distance and speed... With a governed COR factor, virtually the only way for any golfer to get more distance is to get the right shaft on the club that matches the swing...
Congrats on the 2m subs Rick . With regards to clubs brand , haven’t seen a set of Top Flight Irons in years and TM dropped Adams a while back . Finally PXG , what can you say . Their sky high prices when they arrived into the market , resulted in TM, Callaway etc to say “ we are selling ourselves short here , we can up our prices too “ , now PGX have dropped their prices , leaving the ordinary golf fan paying more than ever for clubs , thanks PXG !
Rick, rise above (as I know you will) the ridiculous criticisms and keep up the honest truthful reviews and comments. We respect you for this.
Don't question your technique and process as we all know you are thorough but more importantly consistent hitting balls on the range and on the course in actual play. To compare your review to what they wish to hear is futile as all experiences are personal and an opinion. Your reviews are open, informative and thorough and just indicative to us the prospective buyer. anyone who believes the marketing rhubarb to base their purchase upon deserves all they get. As you say get properly fitted and take your time trying all brands, shafts and options possible and choose what gives you what you want. Too many people are seduced by the longest drive they can hit and believe that is the best club, as Rick confirms his current driver as chosen because scoring is about having a driver that is comfortable and hits fairways and suits you.
I wish people would start engaging the organ between their ears rather than just their ears and hear what they want and then wonder why it does not actually improve their game (a tad naive !).
Congratulations on 2 million subs!! I would really enjoy seeing you train to increase your ball/club speed. That’s my goal for 2022…Maybe you can do a collaboration with Martin Borgmeier😉
Ben Hogan Apex irons were the absolute best looking iron back in the day, nearly everyone longed to have them in your bags ❤️
Interesting chat regarding Taylormade vs Callaway. Had a question on it did Callaway move their embargo date up, find it weird that it was the exact same day as TM, when you can't actually get your hands on it until March
For this insident with GolfSpy, I think there is a need to do a back-story collace, behind the scenes, Rick Shiels testing the Stelth.
End the podcast with a BURN Rick nice! Clubhouse is quite comfy.
Congrats on the 2 million guys! So on the MSG post, I'm kind of thinking some wires are getting crossed. My guess is the 5-10 shot comment is in relation to the shots Rick hits in the studio on the quad to get the data. Even though I think most people understand you have hit much more than that, I can also see their point. When they do their most wanted testing they get loads of shots from different players to collect data. While their review currently was not that in this case, that is kind of their thing is gettingnloads of data. I follow both channels for information and actually like the different ways things are done.
YUSSSS SHIELSY BABY 😀😀😀😀😀😀 COMON 3MILLY!!!!
Congrats gents, great channel!
Much appreciated!
Congrats to you and all your team Rick
I was watching happy Gilmore today and was laughing at shooter using Wilson clubs and ads for top flite and such. Was like "wow those were the big brands 25 years ago"
Also for apple they make all their products play so well together that it makes sense to go all in on their family of products.
Enjoyed that chat boys 😀
Play both a Callaway C4 and a Taylormade M2 like to swap occasionally, very little difference in both distance and forgiveness. £50 for C4
