In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels heads out to The Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country Club to try the golf ball that is the best selling golf ball on amazon.
You may expect the best selling ball to be the Titleist Pro V1, TaylorMade TP5 or even the Callaway Chrome soft. However, at the time of filming the Srixon distance is the best selling ball and this made Rick keen to test it.
Will it spin on the greens? Is it durable? It is marketed as a distance ball but can it go further than a Pro V1?

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. - กีฬา

Please can I have the maverick driver please
Hey Rick im saving up for a whole new set of clubs but I was wondering which I should get first the driver or the set of irons? Of course it would be awesome if I won that cobra driver giveaway lol
@@michaelp8945 i also want the cobra i use a not so forgiving driver for the worlds worst slicer i slice farther right than it goes forward lol
Rick hopefully you read this, you should do a distance balls vs distance balls different brands and see what the number one distance ball is
Love the channel, any chance you make a video with GM golf. Would love to see it!
I ran an independent test and found that the Srixon Distance balls go just as far into the woods as a Pro V1 shank - consistently. Also fails to skip all the away across the pond as often as a Pro V 1. For the money - best $10 I've ever left on a course for the locals to find.
Who else just uses whatever ball they can find on the course. :By the way I would love the Calloway Mavrik on giveaway
April 2089 then the guy who shanked it onto that fairway goes looking for his pro v1 and he’s like wtf
@April 2089 I was looking for my pro v1, found a srixon distance. Thanx bro!
@April 2089 bad etiquette buddy
This is sooo true
@@Keegan25Adams Happened to me yesterday 😬
Who gets excited when they go into the bushes to look for their lost Wilson golf ball and finds a PV1? This guy!!!! 💪🏼
The nerds at amazon who built the algorithm that kept that ball in your face just high fived.
Lucas Yedica like your comment!
because they new it was Rick Shields the famous youtuber that is a pro golfer thinking that someone would never buy a distance ball ....... got him yes hook line and sinker lol
They probably threw him a bone some how
Yup.
Loving that aerial top down angle for the par 3 shots
Thanks Mike
Totally agree. Would love to see more of that angle. Great production.
Rick Shiels Golf imagine a hole in one with that angle
Yes! Love the drone shots!
The framing was impeccable whoever was running the drone 👏🏼👏🏼 that cameraperson killed it
I've always used these. Good performance at a reasonable price and you don't feel gutted when you shank one into the woods...
“Feel”: for me that means, how do I feel after losing a fortune in Pro V1s in a round of golf?
Pro V1, the most popular found ball. Cha-ching.
@@tedzink4574 if i find a pro v1 refurbished, i sling it, it could be anything.
I never keep one ball long enough to notice if they are getting scuffed up. I need a whole box with me for an 18 hole round lol
Me 2. I buy a box of balls every week. Lmao
I stopped buying new balls over a year now... Sighhhh.
@@nokia5359 I did this for years. Quit playing for 5 years. Started 2 weeks ago and haven't ever played this good in my life. I've lost one ball in 5 rounds and drove farther than ever. Idk what happened but maybe just forget what ya know and relearn.
@@ricardoricardo9644 Yup, I used to slice 9 shots out of 10. Didn't play for a couple years, then went out for 9 holes with my dad. What do you know, clean shot every time. I think I wasn't trying as hard.
But yesterday I went to the driving range for the first time in a couple years and I was 50/50 lol. Maybe I need to wait another year and try again
@@crackspider101 I think I found the issue... "I think I wasn't trying as hard". Trying hard kills your game. Only took me 30 years to learn that.
I only use TP5s or pro V1s if I can find them in the creeks or woods 😂
I’ve lost to many recently😂 just started up after 3 years and I’m rusty hahah
There's loads of Prov1's
I use Pinnacles and I give the Pro V1s that I find to my golf buddy
@@4wheelliving132 2 for 1?
I have donated hundreds of them. You're welcome.
Me nodding my head saying thats a good price not knowing what a Pound is.
$1.25 to the pound.
In America we have too many pounds.......in England they dont have enough.
16 ozs
Joel Bonstell 13 dollars a box
J Mac he’s talking about Europe’s money
Been watching your content for a couple of weeks now and one thing that stays incredibly consistent are the fire beats you've got in your videos lol keep the heat comin!
I use supersofts when having a knock about with the lads but if I’m taking it seriously has to be chrome soft x or pro v 1. I couldn’t care less about distance it’s all about the feel for me. Callaway supersofts are sooo good for the money
I’ve hit my longest drive with a srixon distance if I’m honest. It didn’t go very far cause I’m not a big hitter but it certainly made a difference I found
Srixon makes a damn good golf ball
Always doing honest unbiased & fair reviews. Love this channel!
Thank goodness I found your channel, being a brand new "golfer" all of your content is a big help. Cheers Rick.
Very well put together, simple and to the point. Awesome Rick!! Big Fan
Love it! I had two dozen of these sitting in my storage since I hadn’t played in 6 years. After starting again this year, and playing about 4 rounds of golf. I now only have 2 Srixon balls, left 😆 They’re good enough for the price, that’s for sure. I bought some premium Taylor Made balls, and lost 4 in one round. That’s an expensive round of golf ⛳️🏌️♂️Great video Rick
I like the Srixon marathon ball, what about doing a review on the INESIS Tour 900 Golf Ball from Decathlon.
Would second this - have always wondered how they perform.
Have you seen the golf monthly video where the guy tests the inesis and slazenger balls that are under a tenner against the Z-star? The inesis looked good but I've never took the plunge, I do buy loads of these distance balls though, great for non comp rounds
Joe McCauley James Robinson does a great review on the inesis👍
i used to like marathon, but now i like snickers .
I use the inesis tour 900 love the ball. Golf monthly did a review on them.
Dude, your videos are so informative, and down-to-earth. Always keep posting!!
Great review as always. I like the fact the you do reviews on things that people on a budget would use and I feel its fair and honest. As a new golfer I love that Thank You
I guess it’s because we have GUR on most courses at the moment but I missed your sandtrap / wedge scuff test, seem to recall that’s the test of resilience, great vid Rick
I often times use a very affordable(cheap!!) Taylormade distance ball...I love it!!! Great value for me, give it a review your Rickness
Love the above green camera angle. Really like hearing your input on golf balls and equipment. Even though I am a high handicap, much of what you present is extremely helpful. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant upload, and good fun! Rick, the cinematography of your videos works so well with the stellar content. Keep doing what you do!
Drone footage is what we needed without realizing we needed it! 🙌🏼
Great video as always! The music at 6:20 was deeply unsettling lmao
YES.
Totally agree!
These are what make your channel the best Rick. No brand bias at all and straight facts. For the average golfer this really is a fantastic ball. I tried a few and liked them but my stubborness led me back to my Titleist
Rickyyyyyy! You are the man Rick, started watching your vids. I always sliced my drive and I've watched video after video. Watched you videos and you have corrected my drive on the first swing and the swing after that and after that ect. Thanks Rick, you're a gem!
My uncle gave me some old Titleist DT Distance balls and I love them they’re the best ball I’ve ever used!
i've two sleeves of dt solo's in my cupboard, and 2 sleeves of titleist velocity thanks to your comment making me look.
Fine all-around ball. Wish they still made them.
@@richardpadgett8171 i used to like nike PD, but i was playing with a titleist pro v1 last year and either found or someone gave me a slazenger 300 soft, it played no differently to the titleist.
when i came home i looked up the price to buy a dozen, and found you could buy 24 balls at under 55p each, so i bought 48.
still to try them out long term.
Which golf ball do you play?
Vice pro. I love them.
Prov1
Bridgestone e12
Srixon distance 😂🇮🇪👍🏼
ProV1
Rick, I enjoy your assessments,both pro and cons,no matter the item you are testing.Every golfer,wants that feel/touch with their equipment,so reviews can vary by each golfer.That said, I enjoy yours.Keep up the good work and the good golf.fort Collins, Colorado.
Awesome video Rick! Have it set to notify me when you put up a new video & I am always interested to see what you put out! Sure seemed like a great value for a pretty good ball there.
Please make a review on the the 2020 AVX golf ball!❤️❤️
AVX is the longest ball for me, and it behaves very well with irons, and around the greens as well.
@@andya2665 its not as good as the Pro V1 X and its the same price.Cant see any benefits from it
Just bought some on the back of this review. I'll let you know how easy they are to find in bushes, trees, ditches - just anywhere not on the fairway really.
A great comparative test between an economical ball and a premium ball Rick! I play Srixon including: Distance, Soft Feel, Marathon, AD 333. I believe all of them are two piece balls great for distance, but not so good for "stopping on the greens." As a senior golfer, this is what I have opted for. I'll let the younger guys use the premium ball.
I use the distance and I've used the marathon.. they definitely don't have any stop to them on the greens
@@hed_sh0tz__638 Thanks You!
I have been watching you for about 6 to 8 years! Youve helped me lower my handicap at least by 7 i would LOVE a new SIMM driver with a stiff shaft as my m1 is getting a little worn and less bouncy for lack of a better word
They're my next upgrade when I'm finally finished with lake balls 🤣
Yeh I used to buy lake balls when I used to play. From what I remember from back then, they used to be a good deal. You'd pay a tenner and get roughly a 3rd to half a Tesco carrier bag full of balls.....nearly all of them were good balls, loads of Titleist brand mostly. Then, the posher the golf course, the better the balls 😆
The best thing about lake balls is at least they're clean 😆
Playing with those expensive balls that Rick uses would cost me a fortune if I played 18 holes, at £3.50 each I'd have been swimming in the lake myself to get 3 and half quids worth per ball 👍
who else liked before watching because you know its going to be great!
Yes 🙌🙌🙌
I feel seen!
Facts
The drone overviews of the green! Love that, Rick!
Your reviews, whether paid or not, has increasingly helped my golf game, so thank you for that! Also, love the drone shot of the green!
I love Srixon distances. I called it was that ball on your Instagram live.
Perfect timing Rick! My wife brought home a box of these for me today, and I’m playing this weekend! 🤞🏻
I've used Srixon Distance balls for the last year and thoroughly enjoyed them. I could hit them longer and straighter than others I have used. Yes they are harder but I still had good control around the greens and they putt true. Nowadays I use Bridgestone E6 balls. I find these are better for my game but I am happy to use either make.
the pro v1's are top tier and for the giveaway I'd love the cobra speed zone
I get free pro v1s at work at the course everyday Bc people leave em in their carts 😁
@@blakedabloke6456 same lol
I'd be curious to see a video where you test the accuracy of the ball tracking device you use to tell you which gives you carry distance, speed, etc. VS a known yardage sign on the course and a tape measure..
This was an ace review. I like seeing these ones that are so close and on an item that is pretty good for most golfers!
Great unbiased review. Close enough for us mid handicappers. Thank you!
I would really love to see you get your own show on the golf channel.
Ok boomer
3:20 OH, JUST HIT THE DAMN BALL ALREADY!
At the end of the day, they’re just a great value for money ball. Perfect for those new to the game and those with a higher handicap. I personally quite like them.
Thanks for video. Found a few last outing. They bounce pretty good. Hard balls, the Srixons.
INESIS Pro balls are quite good and cost around £ 30 pounds, try them someday.
I use whatever I can find and if the course is slow I'll even spend some time looking for balls
Kept seeing you as I scrolled down my Facebook so thought I'd have a look, really like how you go about things.
Love that drone footage during the Par 3 test.
Very interesting, might buy some myself. Love finding a new Pro V in the rough, no way I’m paying £40 for 12 🤣
I believe there was a 70s ad for Titelst about finding a "Diamond" in the rough. It is a great rush to find a first hit lost ball, especially a Pro V!
I loved the drone footage! Great review as always!!
When I saw the red srixon box before even watching this video in whole I had to comment, I used these balls when I first started playing golf because they’re cheap and they do what they say, they go far ! Not much spin on them so don’t expect much check with your wedges, but none the less a good ball !
seeing his driver shots fly so perfectly makes me wonder if i can ever hit like that (not to mention its 278 yards carry, mine is max 215 yards if i hit it well)
Power's all in the belly
Rick “Distance is on the box” Shiels 😂
I'm watching this like I watch most of your stuff and I've got to say your videos are timeless. No matter when you start or how well versed you are in the sport it like your learning either about products, game play or even grounding yourself as a player and showing to viewers we now matter how good you can be bad at times (the video you nearly didn't add)
I'd love for you to come to wilpshire golf club near Blackburn and play our course in your beat 75 and also teach me a thing or to as a returning golfer from a young age
Thanks for the comparison its been useful. I used to use Pro vs untill I found that some of the srixon (ad333 qstar ) actually gave me 15,20 yards more. I think its because of my swing speed isn't fast enough for pro vs as I'm average 90mph. 🤔
I almost bought Pro V1's just to play like Rick Shiels, now you're telling me some 10 quid balls can make me play like Rick Shiels?!
Whatever a quid is!
Day 11 of asking rick to review noodle long and soft golf balls
Played the day after my birthday with a Noodle, started and finished with the same Noodle ball posting a 79. Good times
I cut some balls open and one was a noodle ice. It was off center.
I don’t think that they are too bad, it would be interesting to see a review
Always found noodles unpredictable. Like hitting a rubber ball
I got them over the Christmas period and haven't been able to use them yet. Just thought it would be interesting to see what Rick thinks of them for the price.
Definitely ordering my first dozen srixxon distance after watching the video.. Rick, you seem to always make videos with the answers that I'm looking for.. Cheers. I
Generally use pro v1x and Tp5
Played with some of these today after watching your video. Did seem to be quite long, but still got lost in the bushes like most of the other balls I use
I use Srixon AD333 they spin nearly as well as a pro v1 at just over £20 😀
Get on amazon I’ve bought a box today for £16
4 dozen for the price of 3 for Srixon balls at a lot of places at the moment
Who remembers when these were about everywhere and were the common mans ball😂😂😂
April 2089 a really hard golf ball
I have used these for about 3 years. As a high handicapper I want something harder and heavier to give me the confidence that it will stay on line. Soft feel tend to disappear into the trees a lot!
Now both of my golfing buddies use them too.
Good Lord, you cannot stop improving your content, can you?! Congrats. Very interesting video from the start to the end. Kept me wanting to see more. Very honest, also. Keep it coming! Cheers
Personally I always clean my golf balls ready for who ever ends up finding them! Just the sort of person I am
“It wouldn’t be a Rick Shiels review if we didn’t cut that thang in half”
GREAT video as usual :) Cant wait for the next one...
Love the music in the background. Banger man.
Who else came from the insta live stream?!?!?!
Thanks mate
Rick Shiels Golf any time!!!
been watching your vids over the past week or so and started watching petes too, just got my first set of golf clubs, only missing a wedge or 2 and maybe a driving iron and i think il buy a pack or 2 of these balls aswell! cant wait to get out and start learning how to play, great vid too!
Yeah the aerial shot on the par three was awesome. I would really want the sim driver, really loving these videos Rick.
Played with these yesterday. Definitely travel a bit further then previous balls i have used. Cheap as chips aswell. Winner
Would love to see you do a review on the Taylormade RBZ golf ball variants??
I can't play golf anymore due to health issues! I get my golf fix vicariously through you Rick!
What another awesome review! I used to play with these balls for years. Then all of a sudden couldn't find them and word on the street was it was replaced with the Srixon Marathon. I switched to Callaway though but those distance balls are pretty leka. (an Afrikaans word for pretty darn awesome or amazing!)
Looks like a good value golf ball, always good to know stuff like this. Thanks Rick.
Great videos. Thank you. I’ve been out of the game for a while due to health issues. Time to get back in the game. Any suggestions on irons and woods for senior. Seems like equipment changes so fast. Thanks again. Monty
Hi Rick. Really enjoying all of your contents.
I am a amateur golfer from South Korea and I was wondering if you can review a golf ball thats made and developed in Korea.
The brand is called "Diawings".
Based on the advertisement, it is supposed to increase 10% of your normal distance with a driver.
Someone who hits a carry of 200 meters will hit 20meters more, and its supposed to increase 3m/s of ball speed.
If you are up to reviewing the ball, and need any help with the purchase, I will be glad to help you.
Thanks again Rick, for making my golf life a better one.
Great video, Rick. A really fair review of an apparently well-designed golf ball!
Love it! The new driver is on fire! Great content champ!
Smile when your videos drop!! Thanks
Yes those drone shots are awesome. I use the Srixon soft ball but will really try this one!!!
Love watching your videos. Thanks
Love me some Srixon. I found a Soft Feel on a course one day and it led me down the path to being a Srixon fan boy... I even roll with a set of Srixon irons now.
Hi Rick, thanks for the honest video. Might try some myself, but like you I prefer the V1
Thanks for doing that review Rick! If it performs adequately as you say I’m may switch from pro v1. let’s face it golf balls are expensive the game of golf is expensive so thanks for giving us new information I really love your channel and congratulations on getting close to 1 million subscribers so far
I recently bought the Srixion marathon balls because it was the cheapest in the shop and I'm broke and I actually really liked those. I usually play with a Pro V1 or a high end TaylorMade ball, but the Srixion did well too. I did struggle around the greens because of it being a harder ball, but not too much. Long story short: if you want a cheap ball that is pretty good, go with Srixion.
Easily the best golf channel on TH-cam. Thanks for doing you Rick!
It makes a funny sound when you hit the Srixon 🤪 good video👍🏌🏼
I've used the marathon, soft, nice feel. The Callaway chrome is nice. I used a bridgestone e6... they are real nice. 1st hole-in-one with than.
I usually use the srixon soft feel. But when I couldn’t find them in white, I got a 24 pack of these srixon distance for $19.99. I’m pretty happy with them.
When I'm spraying the ball about I go to the Srixon Ultisoft. Love that ball. It's not a pro v1 but a Really good cheaper ball. About £20 a dozen.
Would love to see what you think Rick.
Loving that ur alway honest on this cheap golf balls and not trash talking them!
