Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This TH-cam 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.
Those MacGregor clubs may be the best value, but they're not when you also leave Costco with 2 paddle boards, a barbecue, and a garden shed you weren't planning on.
Don't forget the hot dog
But all the free food samples…
Don’t forget that 135 inch flatscreen and the 900 rolls of paper towels
Underrated comment. Full stop.
Be a man and just suck up,or enjoy Costco life 😂😂😂😂
I would love to see a PGA Tournament where every player gets a box the morning of and that's what they all play.
I would love to see a tournament with much more restoration on how many clubs too. I think less clubs could be far more interested much harder choices.
Would love to see that
This would be an excellent opportunity for the PGA. I'd watch all that coverage. 😂
it would be better to do a charity random draw two man scramble. (one youtube golfer, one pro) and they all have to blind draw each of their clubs out of thrift stor bins... (garbage cans with all the heads down at the bottom and its half filled with sand so they cant see what they are)
Would love to see that as well
I like that Rick reviews cheap package sets more often than anything from major brands at this point
I think it’s good he, and other TH-camrs, review cheaper brands but I have more interest in the top dollar stuff.
Because the major brands would get expensive
I think most people know what to expect from the major brands at this point. I don't really need Rick to tell me that Taylormade or Titleist make good clubs. Plus a professional fitter would help sort out the finer details of what you're looking for if you want something premium better than he can. I think reviewing these cheap sets, and lesser known brands is more useful and informative content from Rick.
As a 33 year old brand new to the sport of golf these reviews of cheap sets are what got me into it. Picked my self up a set of wilson Pro staff golf clubs last week and have been down the driving range every day and even braved the local par 5👌
he knows his crowd. rich pompous ego golfers aren't watching Rick Shiels. Just a bunch of lads who like golf and want to be the best they can be at a fun amateur level.
Sometimes you see these "package" sets that are like 600-700$ and you just absolutely know that the guy would've been better off going the used club route. With these, there's no way you can beat the value. They look nice, nothing's overly cheaply made. Good on Costco for furthering the accessibility of the game.
Totally agree, I purchased my first set from a military Affees sporting goods store for just under $300.00 years ago around 2007, first time in everything for me with the game, an in-law showed me one time during an invite at a golf range. I picked it up naturally!! Anyhow the driver out shot 2 fellow soldiers pro drivers and they constantly play the game, one actually became irritated because he couldn’t believe it! lol I was just enjoying my accuracy on my landings, right where I locked my targeting with every swing lol
My putting was dreadful lol
I’m sure this is true, but as a beginner, it can be hard to know what used clubs are worth buying.
@@Pythonzzz I mean if they're allergic to the internet sure. But if they did a little research there are videos, lists, etc all over the place on what clubs are good value.
I did get the set with work reward points and genuinely happy with them though
@@Pythonzzz As a beginner, you really can't go wrong with Ping G series irons. Obviously the older you go the cheaper they will be, but they are all good. If I were you, I would look for a good used set of Ping G400's. Get fitted at Edwin Watts for your proper lie angle as Ping irons are color coded. Black dot is standard and probably fit most average size guys, but if you are quite short or quite tall it will be different. I would also have your swing speed checked so you get the correct flex shaft. Wrong lie angle and/or flex will be huge disadvantages on the course. Just my 2 cents. I hope it helps.
Love living vicariously through Rick, especially with the Break75 series. Stage 4 cancer and a dozen or so abdominal surgeries hindered the turn on my swing a bit haha 😅. Keep it going RS and Guy as well 👍🏼
Hope you get better brother 🙏
Wishing you a speedy recovery and that you can get back out there soon!
Hope you are doing ok and everything goes well for you
Thanks to all 🙏🏼 still have a positive mindset even after 2+ years of batting
Most of us hackers do too🤣 Stay strong Dragon 🤜🤛
Absolutely loving how Rick couldn't leave Trafford Golf Centre without making sure his name was in the Top 2 😂
I started watching you about 3 month ago and wow I'm into golf now big time. Iv only done 2 full 18 hole courses but I have done a fair few 18 hole par 3 courses and I managed to score my best round on the weekend 😀
why is the German flag painted incorrectly on the box?😂😂
I think you are doing a great service to enhance and expand the game of golf thru these videos on affordable equipment. Thank you, Rick!
I love that daily leaderboard concept at the driving range. I wish local ranges in my area had that.
it requires a trackman, Dano. about 30K a piece?
@10 bucks for 80 balls i will never see one. more than 10 a bucket i wouldn't even go to the range 😞
Loved the last drive. Rick wasn't showing us the difference between his Ping and set package set. He simply couldn't have 276 on the leader board he need one over 300 yards. Second on the table for the day 🙂 Love this guy
He said one ball, but we all know he was going to hit as many as it took to get a good one.
was it a range ball?
The moral of the story: some people are better than you, and some people just have better equipment
I think it’s important for package sets to have a clear upgrade path. As you progress your game, you’ll start with replacing the driver and hybrid, and the rest of the set will be more than adequate while you piecemeal a better set. That’s much better than the whole set being equally bad, so you feel like it’s not worth it unless you drop the wallet on a completely new set all at once.
I think the clear path to upgrades from a package set like this is getting a driver, then wedges, then woods, putter, and if you’ve made it that far it’s probably time to get fit for some good irons.
Don’t you think the 1.5 degrees difference in loft has a lot to do with the ball speed? Also is the top tracer there taking in account the elevation you’re hitting from?
They got the German flag wrong on the box 😂😂
BIT OF A PINGY TIIINNGGG
I’m enjoying these budget reviews more than the big name ones at the moment.
Still feel like you're much better off buying proper clubs from the major brands second hand on ebay. Be amazed how cheap some good clubs are on there. Could easily get an excellent set of 2nd hand clubs on ebay with £300 and they will be premium clubs that top golfers would have been using years ago. A golf club that was good enough for a low handicapper in 2010 is still more than good enough for a regular Joe in 2022.
My very first set of clubs, at 12 years old, were a full set of MacGregor Tommy Armour Tourney Classics that my Dad purchased from the local pro shop for $50. Turned out to be a very collectible set that I played for years until I brought them in for regripping and the golf shop owner made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Thanks for a nice review of entry level set of clubs and bringing back memories of my own first set...
Outstanding craftsmanship in the those classics. I've acquired a few classic pro line macregors sets from the 1960s and they are just beauties to look at. For kicks, I take them out once inawhile and enjoy them.
Great video Rick as a new golfer myself package sets are perfect for what I’m trying to accomplish right now which is just get comfortable with golf so great vid pal keep it up 👍
Did someone notice that the German flag on the box is red, black and yellow instead of black, red and yellow? :D
I'd be really interested to see a comparison of a $250 full boxed set vs what you can get from globalgolf/2ndswing/golfbidder for the same price. What really is the best bang for the buck for a new golfer?
For a brand new golfer not knowing much about the eqipment, the 2nd hand market is kinda overwhelming. I know first hand as I tried it when I was new, but ended up just getting a box set.
When it was time to make upgrades to the box set, I did use the 2nd hand market to replace my driver, wood and hybrid and also got an apex utility prototype for $20 from there a few years ago.
The 2nd hand market I still pay attention to, cause you never know when something interesting pops up even though Im not currently in NEED of any equipment
People - stop buying expensive golf clubs and balls!
LOVE these reviews. I found a set of Ping i-3 O-Size at the thrift shop for $3 a club! 4-9 with a SW and gap wedge (U)! Lamkin grips still in good shape! Best deal of the year for this guy!
probably the most likeable golfer in the the game! and loved the review too for my kids coming up
Im still using (and loving) my 2017 MacGregor package set, the irons more in particular.
And I have no intention in changing them at all.
Im a 17 hcp.
Great video Rick!!
if you play with high quality clubs, your hcp will go down much
I wonder how far you could hit the driver, Rick, if you swapped out the shaft for your own (if that were even possible). It would be interesting to know how much distance is lost from the head design compared to the shaft.
His Ping driver only carried 262.
@@justingreen4450 He only had one swing at that though, after hitting a whippy shaft that he had to control to get any real distance.
The weakness in those packaged sets is usually the shaft and not the clubhead, especially for the driver, so I was somewhat surprised you were able to hit that driver with the whippy shaft! Otherwise that looks like a really good buy for a starter set.
That was my thought. Put a decent shaft in that driver and try again. I'm curious how it would perform.
@@scriptedPR
being realistic would the new shaft grip and the cost to do it exceed what you could buy a second hand driver off eBay for?
Driver: Ping Rapture - $50
5W: Ping Rapture - $30
4h: Ping Rapture - $30
5i to SW: Ping Zing 2 - $100
Putter: Ping B60 - $30
Stand Bag: $50
Total: $310
Would probably get you much more respect and quality. Plus, you can re-sell them if you decide to upgrade for the same price you got them for.
Great video. I currently have the Kirkland Wedges from Costco but I feel like its time to upgrade. I would LOVE a video where you explain bounce and grind, what they are used for, and how to selct the best wedge based on your game/playing conditions.
Unless you're shooting for sub +5-7 handicap, those wedges are still great/excellent. Unless budget doesn't matter, then do whatever you want.
Love my Kirkland Wedges. Unless you are ready to pay $200 per wedge you can't beat the Kirklands.
Try md golf wedges recommended and not expensive
I like my Kirkland Wedges - the only wedges I've found I like better are my buddie's Vokeys and I just not ready to shell out that kind of cash for a wedge. They're hard to beat unless you have cash to burn.
Dicks also makes a complete Top-Flight Gamer Package Set for those that want a full set that cost around $300.00 US Dollars. If these sets get others interested in the game, then by all means, "WELCOME ABOARD"!!!
as an intermediate golfer with a set or two, I still love these videos so that I know what to recommend for friends. I have given away a few sets, but these videos are great to pass along
Started with a Dicks starter set. .Moved on to Cobras and never looked back 😅 play rtx wedges, Driver depends on the day 😉 Us lefties loved to tinker ❤ But there is nothing wrong with a starter set to get your swing going! Once you break hundo or 90...Go treat yourself 😊 Best game ever invented imo ❤❤
Not a bad set for a new golfer at a budget price. Thanks Rick. It was fun watching.
Got a package set of Wilson 1200 G/Effect clubs the other day in a black Friday sale half off on Amazon, down to $340 AUD. Hopefully they at least are serviceable to learn the game with because I've never played before. Don't even know anyone that plays so hope I can figure out what the go is, I suppose I'll see if there's a front receptionist desk at the course and go from there lol
Just started also
My first set of clubs was a wilson box set at a similar price and the driver was the first club to be replaced for me as well.
Next was adding on some proper wedges, before I replaced the wood and hybrid. It really is a good way to start playing and figuring out if you want to keep playing and to learn a bit more about what you want and need from equipment you have no experience with and no idea what to look for. Once you learn a few things, the 2nd hand market is so much less overwhelming to use as well. The ammount of golf clubs you can find out there thats barely used is quite large if you know where to look and for what to look for.
Also, as you replace things from the box set you end up having a spare set of clubs for someone who wants to start playing, someone who just want to go hit some balles and havent brought their set or whatever. My original box set has recruited atleast 2 other players the sport after I gave it away to a colleague
How do you think one of these affordable package sets would compare to higher end set from 20 years ago? If you haven't golfed in 15-20 years, would you be better off with the old set or moving to a new affordable package set?
i bought these for myself last week, played a cheeky 9 hole yesterday and i am well impressed especially the driver .. the first shot was a little off the toe and went a little right but not much as the older clubs i was using as forgiveness is really good. i am now hitting the ball straighter than ever. The irons feel nice and weighty and forgiving as well. i cant wait to get back out on a longer course to try the hybrids
That driver went pretty far as compared to your $500 (guessing price) Ping. That set is definitely worth looking into for the right person.
Have you ever thought about using a cheaper ball when testing sets for newer players? Typically, a newer player wouldn't be using a Pro V1. That may affect your view of the clubs.
You aren't wrong, but since he normally plays with the V1s, keeping that ball eliminates a variable when testing these clubs. If he pairs this Costco set with some Pinnacle balls and the performance is lousy, is it the balls or is it the set?
Still got my Jack Nicklaus MacGregor VIP's from the early 80's, never going to sell them.
I really enjoy when you buy and test club sets on your channel.
Me too. It’s what I’d do if I could.
I just wish he would have cut at least one of the clubs in half - like with the golf ball tests. I have actually wondered what the inside of a Driver really looks like - I imagine it is just a hollow cavity.
Are the macgregor Muirfields good? The ones Jack Nicklaus played with
God i love golf so much. Can’t afford a nice set though! Wish i has Costco in my area! Awesome video Rick. Love the videos!
Just build a set over time. Buy a driver....then wedges....give yourself 2 seasons. I still use a L wedge from 2002.
@@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez same, Irons from 2011 Driver from 2015 and hybrid from 2017
Rick is as good as it gets. I really appreciate how he connects to golfers on all levels. He may be wrong on some things but it is never because of dishonesty.
Thanks for the review, and the enthusiasm you put into all the reviews you give.
Just a reference point. A 1970 magazine had an ad for a McGregor golf set. Three woods and 8 irons for $99.95. Given inflation the Costco price holds up pretty well.
Great review of yours 👍🏼
I’m not surprised by the driver distance, since you are putting a 10,5º stock package driver versus a fitted 9º Ping 😉
It would be interesting to face them in the same loft and flex of the shaft, at least 😊
You can see the quality of the rackets already in the packaging. The Germany flag is wrong.
These package set reviews are great Richard. Growing the game should be one of your goals, and it appears you're doing it, and doing it well. Cheers
Are you honestly that naive that you don't know that this ia a paid advertisement?.
@@macman975 Nope. It isn't. Glad to be of assistance. Now go and troll elsewhere.
No way was Rick leaving the building without smashing the Ping to get up the leaderboard 😂
So the take away here is Rick Shiels is quite qualified to and will judge your package. 😉
cool but throw out the 3 wood most seniors and newbies cant hit a 3 wood! Go with 17 /18 degree fairway woods!
You hit your pro clubs all over the place and usually with too much hook. All of the cheap clubs you hit straight.
“…MacGregor has gone a little downhill.” That’s like saying the Hindenburg had a bit of a rough landing. 😉
I do enjoy the budget equipment reviews.
Can you test the Decathlon set? They're definitly a brand/store that's taking over a big space in the sporting world
I went to law school in Costco.
The german flag on the back of the box is seriously red black gold 😂
when you brand it Rick Shiels colors and get dumped on for the choice of colors lol
Shades of red.really.your wearing shades of black
Haha they put the German flag completely wrong on the box 🤣😂
all the stuff made in the same Chinese slave factory. Just different brand added
Hi Rick, been playing with a beginners set for a while and I’m not sure how good they are. The GX1 set.
My dad retired from MacGregor in 1977 after 25 yrs. He worked in the custom grinds/finishing department with Howard Delaney and Jack Wolcotte. I've got about 50 different sets including 4 VIP drivers signed by Nicklaus, Weiskopf, Byron and Chi Chi. A 3wood signed by Bob Hope and several others that he obtained during his tenure.
settle down there dicky
Bi’ of a pinGy tinG! Shout out one time to Mike and Stev and Derek
please can you review the masters gx1 package set?
They should have kept the colors of the previous model.
1:50 When you print the wrong German flag 🇩🇪
You should play 18 holes with these clubs and see what you can shoot
My first set of irons was Macgregor M85i. Very easy to hit with great distance. The best thing is once I accidentally broke the shaft of PW so I went to Golfsmith who owned the brand then. The sale rep asked if I snapped it intentionally and I said no. Then he said he was sorry that their product was mulfunctioned. So he went to the back of the store for may be 10 min and came back with new DG s200 shaft for free.
This set served me fine for almost 10 years.
Those look exactly like my Stratas I got a few years ago.
I have the Callaway X Hot iron set. There is an X24 set I've seen and these clubs look like that to me. I knew they would be good once I saw MacGregor
They got the German flag on the box pretty wrong lol
Anyone know if they are available in the US?
Very very solid set up. This plus the costco wedge set. 👨🍳💋
How about the Top Flight golf club set?
I'm literally just getting into golf and using a minging old set of hippo clubs... I reckon these would be a perfect for me to start out with!!!
Hey Rick
Love your work from Sydney downunder. Just saw the new Mizuno RB tour ball. Would love to see you review them before I commit to buying.
Legend
I can tell just from the sound of the putter that it is not for me. Clubs do look quite nice for the price. Happy to know I can recommend a set for a friend that might just be starting out. Irons seem to be responsive. A bit chunky for my eyes. I'll be sticking with my P770s for the next few years.
Dynamic banter pingy ting at 6:15 📯📯
🔥🔥🔥
Excellent review Rick, enjoyed very much. Haven't seen these in Canada as of yet.
Costco U.S. has nothing close to this... they really need it. Thanks for the review from over the pond, will be looking out for anything similar in ours.
These are the clubs I have. The putter is awful and I can't get used to the driver. The hybrid is outstanding though I have to say. Looking for a cheap driver under £150 second hand at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated 🙏
Ping G400 is a good buy for around £150. Very well respected driver.
Have you tried a different Hybrid? It is unfortunate it doesn’t carry as far as the 5 iron.
@@slicelifetv Or maybe Patrick has a 3 hybrid that is 21 degrees and flies much farther. Maybe Rick had one not up to spec due to lack of quality control on that club.
@@melabshier5812 Possibly. It would be interesting if Rick bought a few of the same sets and tried the, out.
I personally find the hybrid fantastic and I actually use that more then my driver. Thr driver has no forgiveness for me personally so I dont use it at all.
Sure, the R&D isn't there, but it's meant to meet a price point, and for the value, this set is a perfect starter set for a new golfer.
I own about 20 sets of irons (yes, I know I have a problem), from high end blades on down, and Wilson Staff Ci9's are still my favorite set. They aren't long, but if a beginner can get a set, I think they are perfect beginner sets.
I got the last years set. The black and gold with graphite shafts and it came with a white hot putter. Iv only been golfing a few years and my current set of clubs was just a mixture of everyone's hand me downs. I really love them, and everyone who has used them says they are top notch for a $550 set. The grips are the worst part of the set, but i'm still using them. All the white lining on the grips fell off after a few rounds.
1:53 that german flag is a joke
Enjoyed the video and when you review these cheaper sets of clubs . Now you should have a go at breaking 75 with this set ⛳️💲🙏
Hi Rick. Loved the video. Seems like a great package set that I would've bought myself if I was starting now. Unfortunately, I bought a few different budget clubs last year and this year to start my bag. I have the Slazenger V300 Graphite from Sports Direct and I'm looking to make an upgrade. I'm probably around a 30 handicapper at the moment because my consistency is awful. My budget is £100, and I was wondering what you think is the best driver someone like me can get for that proce point. I think I'm about average for club head speed and can still drive 230 yards on a good hit with this V300, but I think it's time for an upgrade. Golfbidder shows a few options, but one I heard on your podcast was the Cobra F range. If I spent the extra 15 or 20 pounds, I could get the F6 + and I was wondering what you thought about that particular driver.
I’ve not swung a club in 10 years. I had a set of Slazengers in my early 20’s and am looking to get back into golf. Saw these in Costco yesterday and after this review will definitely consider them. Looking to ask Father Christmas for some lessons too! Great review and cracking channel Rick
My son recently got into golf and bought a macgregor set and I was quite impressed with there performance, but accept for the driver I'm no tiger woods by far , I found it hard to get loft and the sweet spot seemed very limited compared with my taylormade but a good buy 👍
It would be great to see a comparison of these against the £800+ package sets from Cobra, Taylormade etc. Is the extra £500+ worth it for those premium package sets?
My first set of new clubs was MacGregor Heritage Tour Cavity Backs (some 30 years ago). They were a decent beginner set. Years later (after replacing them) I cut down a half set for my wife. They are still sitting in the garage today.
I started playing golf almost 35 years ago with Macgregor irons. Still have my original Golden Bear set as well as some others. I hope Macgregor continues to make irons!
If you can play, you can play with anything. If you can't play, you can't play with anything....IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUBS....
I think these will be an early xmas present to myself!! Great vid once again Rick!!
Idea for a video...
Play 18 holes with your clubs then play the same course the next day with the box set.
Be interesting how big of a difference if any.
Obviously keep an eye on the weather to keep that as even as possible.
Here’s your challenge Rick………..next break 75 video you use these clubs for the round??????Can you not only break 75 but better your score with your own clubs ???The gauntlet has been laid down.All the best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
When I started golf at age of 14 - I had the worst clubs you could own - a $49 set from Northwestern. I could shoot in the 80's with those clubs - but when I played with my friends -dad's - clubs - a set of Kenneth Smith's - I realized that clubs that matched your swing made all the difference. Looking at these MacGregor clubs from Costco - I would have died and gone to heaven playing such clubs as a teenager. I think that's whose these clubs are for - beginning golfers - but they get a huge amount of performance for the technology and price.
