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.
This is not just the channel we want, it's the channel we need! The studio is amazing, the reviews are honest and pure. What more can we ask for?
A sausage roll at the halfway point?

That is what would be required for a 100% score. 😀
Is this Rick-bot?
For him to compare the same model year irons against each other instead of a 4 year old model against the newest model?
Am I an average golfer? No shot. Will I delude myself into thinking I am? Absolutely
Statistically speaking, only 45% of golfers break 100 legitimately, so if you’re searching for that break 100 goal, then you are an average golfer 😉
Same here 😂
@@TheLgcookie10no way that is true
😂😂 ❤
What do you think an "Average" golfer is? 99% of golfers will never break 80.
The average golfer shoots around 95-100. How do you fare?
Would love to see a comparison with the New P790, the New Apex Pros and the New Titleist T200. Love the channel and can't wait to see the T350 review as well.
Rick won't like hearing it, but I think these clubs (at least in the longer irons) would do wonders for his consistency in the Break 75 series. The shot dispersion with them was the most impressive thing, never mind the numbers. Seriously impressive ball striking with them, Rick
That’s what I’m about to say.
Yep. I love Rick but he needs to take the same approach as the driver he has. Go for forgiveness
Agreed
I would cut off a small part of a finger if I could get Rick to play "game improvement" irons. I love the guy but he is not a T-100 type player. I am a 2 Handicap and I play Rogue X irons. They are basically made for 25 handicappers or so. I couldn't care less. I play much, much better with these irons than some "blades". If I hear the word "workability" one more time I may jump off a bridge. It might be the dumbest concept in golf. Watch James Robinsons shot tracers. There is no "workability"...he just hits it straight.
He's got a lot of irons in the fire with videos and podcasts. And he needs to keep the programming coming to keep up his viewership, which is how he makes a living. I imagine Rick finds it difficult to find time to spend working on his game. Playing tour irons might be asking a bit much.
Not really a fair comparison to use the P790s from six years ago. It was honestly a little jarring given the brand new P790 clubs have been in videos released just in the last few days (Micah Morris released a video yesterday) and then Rick pulls out an antique.
This was going to be my comment as well. I have a BRAND NEW set of P790 and was disappointed at the opening of this video. Then realized it’s the oldest P790. So, idk. 🤷♂️
The new p790's are all over TH-cam.Think it's only Rick who's not got them😂
I don't know how you've managed it Rick but you've raised the bar yet again with your latest reviews. I'm looking forward to the 350 review
Nice ball striking Rick, well done! As far as the numbers there doesn't seem to be much between the Taylormade and Titleist but as far as looks go I'd put my money Behind those Titleist irons any day.
Or you can save several hundreds and buy those P790s cause they are 4 years old.
As a better golfer Rick would you ever use more forgiving clubs if they made you play better?
I feel like he values looks more than anything for clubs
About a year ago I was looking for reviews and comparisons between starter clubs when I came across Rick Shiels. What I thoroughly enjoy about the reviews is how he describes the feel and also his comparison to other clubs. Living in an area with no local golf centers or testable clubs, being able to have a description of other clubs to compare really helps. So glad the H.I.T. channel is up and running, well done gentlemen.
What’s the difference between HIT and his regular/ previous channel?🤷🏻♂️🤔
You found your hero ✅ well done son. You have now completed life
Great review, loving the new studio. Only minor gripe is that the P790 was two generations old. Would love to see a head-to-head of the T200, current P790, Paradym, and MP225.
True...definitely for current P790 and MP225 - although the Paradym is not really in the same category....more of a true GI iron.
I would really like to see Rick game the T200's for 3 weeks in break 75. Fantastic review as always
Great idea!
If Rick doesn’t put the T200’s in the bag, he needs to swallow his pride and do it 😂
Surely would be better to compare the newer edition P790?
Why are you comparing 5 yo p790’s with this years t200’s??
I'm a Mizuno fan, I use Mizuno Hot Metal Pros. I am a 10.6 hcp and I've avoided Titleist clubs, because they have been traditionally more difficult to hit. But the T200's look very classy and they appear to be easier to hit. Interesting. It is so good to see you coming out with reviews, we were waiting for so long. I hope you plan on doing a reviews on T350's and I would love to see you review the new RAM FX77 irons and the new MacGregor MT-86 irons.
Doesnt matter if you're using a hockey stick or a baseball bat. The golf ball has to be hit correctly. Not one club from the beginning until now will make you do that.
I fall right into that zone that you talked about, Rick, as an 11 hcp. I'm now really excited and curious to try out the new Titleist T200 irons! The fact that the peak height was a bit higher than the P790 is awesome and will hopefully hold firmer greens a bit better.
And they're way too strong lofted. Unless you're a slow swinger that need help with distance, look elsewhere or your gonna need 5 wedges to fill the lower gap in the bag. The pw is 43 degrees for crying out loud!!!
@suilegew Agreed. Too strong for me. I hit them in a sim and was carrying 9 iron 164 yards. I prefer the lofts of the T150s and T100s much more. I suppose that's why you can get the approach/gap wedge in the T200 set. Lol.
@@suilegew The set does have a GW. I actually ordered my set from 5-GW instead of 4-PW. So instead of carrying a 4 iron, and a hybrid etc. Now my 5 iron goes about as well as the 3 hybrid I used to carry. There's a hair too big of a gap from my 5 iron to my 5 wood....but I don't see that coming into play very often. The T200's effectively move everything up by 1 club - but I'm getting a higher launch/peak height out of all of them, and more consistent distance on off centre hits than my old gamers. I'm not a fast swinger....but also not slow. Driver is about 100mph plus or minus on any given swing....7 iron is about 80mph.
@@Reffitt2 That's crazy speed....your 9 iron swing speed must be close to 90mph....that's basically tour level speed. Of course a players distance iron wouldn't be a good fit. Would love to have that kind of speed!! lol
I’ll be honest here, I really miss the on-course portions of the review. It’s great that you’re finding really good data in the simulator, but I’m finding the overall review to feel very static with this current setup. Maybe there is an opportunity to take the good performing irons, and do a quick segment about how they feel from the fairway from the rough or off the tee. You also don’t talk much about how easy the irons are to shape
These look like the P790 from 2019, so would be good to see these against the 2021 updated version. Once the 2023 P790 is available to trial, would love to see these against the T150’s 👌🏼 I reckon these two sets of irons are going to dominate the market for the next couple of years!
@@richardbicker640 agreed, but I was just saying I’d like to see it 🤣
Maybe comparing the latest T200 to the 2023 P790 would’ve been more logical, rather than the 2019 version ? Great content though
I switched from TaylorMade to Titleist irons when the "game improvement" T300 series was fairly new. I've been impressed with the T300, and, since my game has improved, this evaluation of the T200 is quite intriguing! Shielsie, I feel you've got a really great thing going with this new studio and channel. Keep these player-focused reviews coming!
The only difference is bulking and a little more distance. Players distance clubs is what I like.
I would be cautious when purchasing these irons as I have owned them from new since August 2023 and the plastic backing (back of the club head) has come off on the 7 iron. Seems to be a problem Titleist are having with them. Also the cheap plastic that they have glued to the back fades dramatically and quickly making them look really worn and cheap within a few months. I'm in the process of returning mine which is unfortunate as they do perform very well.
Yeah I’ve had the same thing happen with mine. Apparently the T350’s have the same problem too
@@laurahutton7048 Yeah I have spoke to people with 350's who have shown me pictures of same issue. Pisses me off
It's honestly very impressive to see how well this model of P790 (which is a few years old) does when being compared to a brand new iron.
Yeah, I was about to sell my P790 (2019). Now I am keeping it. 😂
They have just been relaunched
Why is he using the p790 that came out in 2019?
I must say these clubs are absolutely a work of art 👌🏻
These T200's are beautiful and the P790's you are testing are 2 models back from 2019 the 2021 model look a lot nicer and the new 2023 version just releasing looks even better , you should review the new 2023 P790 and then compare the two , for me I am a Titleist whore so I know which ones I'll be getting !!
I've always been so scared of getting Taylormade clubs because of the amount of warranty claims online but never felt anything else performed as good as the high P series, until now. Thanks for the review and taking the time to explain the numbers, I think it's time for an upgrade!
It doesn’t perform as good. He’s comparing clubs 4 years apart.
I’ve had p760 and p790 combo irons for about 4 years with no issues
Titleist irons are my go to, way way better feel. Get better forgiveness w TaylorMade though
I have a set of T300’s and I bought them brand new a year ago. They’re currently back with the retailer because the club heads have started pitting and the chrome is starting to peel off. Not the sort of quality I was expecting from Titleist?!?!
Wouldn’t recommend them to anyone
Great review! Nice to see the comparisons between brands. Would love to see how the Takomo 101 and 101T irons would stack up against these bigger brands!
I'll echo the comments here related to wanting to see a fair comparison against the latest P790, but I'll actually go as far as saying that for the amount of hype, investment and sought after respect that this channel has had, a comparison with a now 4 year old model is.... pretty poor.... C'mon team, relevant comparisons, fair comparisons, and I won't find myself finishing watching the video feeling a like I'm reading a tabloid trying to skew bias and spin results
I ordered my set last week. Great video Rick, reassured what I felt and thought. Great video.
Are you satisfied with them?
Why is the new T200 being compared to the 2019 P790 when the 2023 just came out, and the 2021 model has been around for years?
This was a great look at the T200s. Can’t wait to see the 350s! That studio is amazing. Every golfer’s dream
Is this a fair comparison though? Those p-790's look like the old model? Not even last years model, or the brand new ones they just released??
I have to say even though I was never the best golfer in the world I always loved my Titleist irons. Still have my DCI 962 and love them to this day. In my opinion they forced me to grove a better swing and not let technology make my game better.
Glad to see the new series going well. Now to get those DCI's re-shafted, don't generate the swing speed I used to. 🙂
You can’t compare the brand new T200’s with 2019 P-790’s
You guys are better than that
I would like to see an accurate test of the new p790 against the new t200. Having owned both first iterations, I know that there’s a big difference in feel over the years.
This was the reaction is was looking for!
And the new Apex Pro
@@Baf630x true honestly
I thought I was going to buy one of these two clubs, T200 or P790. 11 Hcp. I also tried Mizunos, Srixon, Ping and Callaway Apex. I ended up choosing the Apex, smooth as butter, workable, ball flights was great, I play on firm greens and I want the ball to stop. From 7 iron down these stop and check. T200 was second, but not by far.
I’ve said it before and i will say it again, I absolutely love the content and how thorough your reviews are when it comes to golf clubs.
Loving the channel guys but have to agree with some others on here….the video basically is saying that the new T200s are as good as a four year old P790?
That’s going to be a blow for the titleist crew……..
This idea that you'll occasionally get a really hot strike with hollow head irons is a myth. I've been playing TM P790s for a year and have never had it happen.
Micah Morris recently made a video with the P790s. "Pro's" in the comments talk like random 20 yard boosted shots happen very often.
@@Chris54321 "Pros" in comment sections say a lot of things. I've never seen it and I've never seen it done on TH-cam. If it happens someone should be able to hit a hundred shots in a row from the same spot on camera and point out the two or three that go twenty long.
@@marvinburkholder8907 At this point there should be a golf channel with a robot that hits 100 perfect sweet spot shots. Then 100 5 millimeters towards the heel, then the toe, etc. Until that happens everything is subjective and smoke and mirrors of marketing.
Had my P790s since 2020 and never had this problem either.
@@leestockdill5031I have the 2019 p790s and occasionally you catch one flush that flies 10-15 yards farther than usual. Maybe once a round.
Lucky you Rick. I love the T series and been looking at the t200 and t300 for some time. Now these new ones look even more gorgeous! Can't wai for he T350 review! Not sure they look good in the studio bags though, not to worry, I'll gladly take them off your hands.....if I must :)
P790s came out around the same time as the 1st t series and went to go buy the 790s. They looked like my first budget set with a boxy top line. But when I put the t200 in my hand I instantly loved the look of them and still do. These new ones have me drooling🤣
😂😂😂 The T200s sure are sharp looking irons
@@cleveland2022 funnily enough after testing about 15 different brands over a few weeks I had narrowed it down to the Cleveland launchers and t200s.
so what rick is saying is buy 2 generation old P790 because they perform the same
Looking forward to the next set of Titleist irons. As a higher handicapper I'm not sure if the 200s or the 350s would suit me better. I'm looking to invest in new irons soon.
Go 350
Or blend them if you struggle with low irons… go with the 350s in the low irons and 200s in the high loft irons (if you can get past seeing two different clubs in your bag)
Rick. That p790 is at least two generations old. Am I missing something, TM just dropped the 4th gen of the p790. Not necessarily a fair comparison between these two. These t200s are going to be very popular, they are one of the best looking irons to come out
The Titleist irons are just pure class, loving the reviews and insight on each model you bring to the table rick, please keep the awesome content coming.
Another magic bullet! Being a former avid Trap Shooter I had a very long time friend, kind of an old school kind of guy who recently died of Covid. The man is in the Trap Shooter's Hall of Fame so you could say he pretty much knew what he was talking about.
He had an an inexpensive shotgun that he shot for years and won scores of competitions with until the frame developed a crack. After that he went new school and continued winning shoots.
While I was shooting and doing okay I thought I'd up my equipment from old school to new school and he saved me thousands of dollars with these words of advice? "It ain't the arrow. It's the indian."
Magic golf clubs?! Keep your old ones and spend the money on lessons and be the better indian. With irons costing 1200 and drivers at 300 plus you can buy lessons that are actually going to up your game.
Bought the 2nd gen T200s (2021) and I absolutely love them. The extra distance is great and I feel there is quite a bit of forgiveness even without the cavity. Very clean iron. I salivate over the t150s but I can’t justify spending more money on irons when there is nothing wrong with current set
Same man. I got a set of 2021 t200's awhile ago and they're some of the best irons ive ever owned.
May i ask what is your handicap. Im at 17 hcp and are looking at them to.??
You seriously let the side down there. Old clubs against new ones
And the fact you or your team dont know!!
You’re telling me with all the resources and manufactures at his disposal, that rick couldn’t get his hands on the new 2023 P790 or even the P790 from 2021?!? He’s legit comparing the brand new 2023 T200 to a P790 that was released two generations ago in 2019!! So deceptive smh it’s a shame people will spend their hard earned money on new clubs based on a fraudulent video like this.
everything Titleist produces is beautiful and also trustworthy
Loving these reviews so far Rick! Would love some ball reviews as well, to see what good mid range alternatives there are to premium balls like the Chrome Soft or Pro V1. I feel like that’s where golfers spend money the most regularly and could have an impact on their game. Loving the channel!
Kirkland balls are absolutely money for 34.99$ 2 dozen
especially beginning golfers. last year was the first time I've finished a round with all the balls I started it with.
@@kenbrown2808Man. That is a good feeling. Sometimes it is obscene how many balls can be lost/abandoned in one round.
@@zacharyplace7482 I got some Chrome Softs for my birthday and promptly lost them all (that hurt). I’ve started using Kirkland’s they’re great. I’ve been trying Seed balls as well, they’re pretty similar but they’re £2 a ball, and honestly I haven’t seen a huge drop off in performance from the chrome softs. Good distance and good spin on the green.
@Chris54321 and that wasn't finishing with the same number, that was finishing without losing one.
Love the review but you can’t be combating a gen 3 T200 to a gen 2 P790 when gen 4 just came out
This sector of the market has some really good options right now. The Titleist T200, Taylormade P790, PXG 0311P Gen 6, and Mizuno Pro 225 are all incredible. All perform very well and I love the looks of all of them even though they are a little different (very different for the 0311P). Not sure you could go wrong with any of the 4.
Why did you compare it to such an old P790 and not to the 2021 or the 2023 Version?
Testament for the quality of the four year old p790. Still holding up great compared to this years Titleist
I am by no means a low handicap, around 18, but I am really not a fan of these super strong lofted irons of late. Would rather have a set of forgiving irons with the lofts of the t100 to be honest.
Mr Shiels can you pleassse review the takomo irons, i want to buy a set and i haven’t been able to find a honest independent and trustworthy review
Would love to see a comparison to the new P790s? Just as nice, very similar looks? Maybe performance is improved over the 2019 version (think that's the one you are using for this test.)
My own personal T150's are in flight to my bag. So excited. I hit those clubs and was just gobsmacked.
What a beautiful feel these Titliest irons have. I hit all the others too at club champion too.
Does this feel translate to everyone's game, try for yourself!
The P790s you looked at are the older models. I’d say the newer P790s look better?
that is a very old p790 to be fair to taylormade. the newer ones look much nicer
Would love for Mark Rober to build you a robot to help with testing....
Really love your channels!! Please test the new P790 vs T200!!!
Comparing the looks of the new gen t200 vs the looks of the p790 first gen is apples to oranges
Good video but not really fair to compare a 2019 p790 to a 2023 t200
I might have to finally trade in my Callaways for the T200
You’ll break 75 with these guys in your bag! 😅 These were probably some of the best iron shots I’ve seen you hit in a while. You’re a good golfer and all that, reviews are great, but for your game as it stands right now, these seemed to do you wonders!
They are such a good looking set of irons I think the t200s or the t350 would be more suitable for me 👍👌
T150 look unreal! 👌
I bought the T150’s after watching your review!
New P790 review next??
Not really fair, use a 2023 p790 vs a 2023 T200?
Not sure why you’re comparing the Titleist against an older generation P790 🤷🏼♂️
Because he can. Disappear.
Hey Rick, random keyboard warrior here and self-proclaimed Titleist fanboy. However, review seemed a bit off using a 2 generation old 2019 P790 for the comparison or at least state there is a newer version (just as the T200). Cheers, hope to collab someday!
Need to compare these to a newer set of p790 not those ancient ones.
Always waiting for a new Video on this Channel !!
That peak height and land angle is a considerable difference, though it is the old 790 and the new ones likely launch more similar to t200. But that is a more considerable distinction than you were making it out to be.
Rick, I've been playing the T200 since they came out -- I thought I was satisfied, but now, thanks to you, I have to try the new models. Perhaps though, I'll wait until you demo the T350. Thank you for being my excuse to spend money on new clubs!
The t350’s are rocket launchers. You gotta try them.
Great review Rick! Loving the new channel! I think you might have found what you need here. T200 in your long irons and T150 in your scoring irons. Think that would fit you perfectly Rick! Worth a thought
been waiting for this one. it sounds like this is where I want to go, but wouldnt be surprised if I get fitted 200/150 combo.
Put them in the bag Rick! They're the tools you need and we all want to see you break 75 again!
Cheers Rick I really needed an excuse to upgrade my 3 year old irons 🙄🙄🙄😂😂 I’m getting fitted for this asap, they look so nice!
😂😂😂😂
Would be good to see a comparison between the T200 and the new P790
Now this may sound silly… the T200 just matched the p790 from 2019 right? So doesn’t that mean that the 2023 T200 is just as good as a club made 4 years ago? Now, why not compare it to the 2021 p790? I love how that T200 feels and sounds but seeing it’s as comparable as the 2019 P790 why even get the 2023 T200?
I have the old p790s from 2019. Very happy with them but will try the t200s again in a couple of years if they keep improving at this rate
Why is Rick using a 2019 P790 to compare to a 2023 Titleist - come on Rick you can do better than that!! I have the 2022, which looks better than 2019, and the 2023 is a refined version of the 2022. Admittedly the T200 does look good! I’m keen to try the new T200 although the 9 iron is 1.5 degrees stronger than my 790. Not so keen on chasing distance at that end of my irons.
Rick! Mate get a spilt set of these and the 150s in your bag ASAP, these have been the most consistent and accurate shots I've seen you play in a while, be the golfer you are and smash #break75 chin up, move forward and never listen to haters, Guy Charnock do your job and make this happen lol
Pre-Ordered the T200!! While i love the feel of my (black) T100S they are just a tiny bit too unforgiving & short .. not even sure i will mix & match .. and man these T200 are gorgeous (especially compared to last model)
Tried the t150’s and really loved them in the hitting bay. Just think I would need a little more forgiveness on course. The t200’s may fit the bill. Looking forward to the t350 review and really considering a combo set
Rick love the review I am going to pick one issue out. The p790 model you put the t200 against is the 2019 model I believe not the current 2021 model or the son to be released new 2023 model. Would love to see a closer comparison between the clubs
Came here for the same comment… not sure why he’s comparing two totally different models. The 2021 Vs 2019 790 is night and day
I’m a 13 HC but don’t play much/looking to play more and improve. Always been in a game improvement iron and never been fitted. Got fitted today and got the t200s. Can’t wait to get them. They felt amazing.
Such a shame. Your equipment tests will always be completely flawed if you don’t test using the same shaft spec and swingweight otherwise you simply can’t compare/review performance other than visual.
Id love to see a review of the Takomo irons.
Rick, thank you for your reviews for the "everyman" who loves this game. The way you communicate your thoughts and feels are great to watch !
Will be in the market for a new set of irons this winter. T200 seems right up my alley as I’m playing around a 10-12 handicap. Concerned about the gapping to my wedges though… PW 42 to a 50 degree gap wedge could easily be a 20 yard gapping which is not whatcha want.
Nice one, Rick. Bummer that it wasn't the new t200 vs new p790. Maybe another video?
I'd be interested to see your comparison to the Srixon ZX5 or ZX4. With the rave reviews, I've been thinking about getting fit and this video just made that lineup decision harder
What does the H.I.T stand for
