  • THE TRUTH: 'Anti-Slice' Driver Vs Golf Lesson | Callaway Big Bertha B21 Review
    In this video Rick Shiels PGA golf professional heads out to The Marriott Worsley Park Golf & Country Club to review the new Callaway Golf Big Bertha B21 driver.
    The Callaway Golf Big Bertha B21 driver promises to hit the golf ball longer and straighter no matter how you swing it! Rick not only tries the driver for himself but also gets an average golfer who slices the golf ball to try the driver! Thanks to Jason for taking part
    Rick also gives the golfer a golf lesson to see if he can cure the slice better than the Callaway driver!

    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.

      google coaches near you, you'll find one with tons and tons of glowing 5 star reviews. I'm not saying they come a dime a dozen, but chances are you'll find one nearby who is almost as good as rick (no knock to rick, he's obviously one of the best, golf is just an amazing sport so lots of people are super passionate/knowledgeable about it)....reviews are key, and prices don't actually fluctuate between the best and the worst and they are cheaper than you'd think if you get a package. About the same price as a round of golf.

    Took me years and years to finally understand I needed lessons, not new equipment. So when our course closed down I took the opportunity to take a lesson once or twice a week for 8 weeks. I went from around a 13 down to where I currently am a 6.2 about a year and a half later. I absolutely enjoy the game now because I feel like I'm really playing golf not just getting lucky week to week, or unlucky.... Take lessons and commit to it. I'm still taking lessons once or twice a month or when things go sideways. Love your videos Rick!

      Well... Or he just made them disregard of good driver?! I have tried it (Never slice the ball myself) just wanted to try it when the Callaway-guy came with it. And the distance was massive with a tight dispersion pattern. (It blows my Speedzone out of the park) Granted, I did change the shaft (But who doesn't try other shafts during a fitting?!) Didn't change the driver... Still using my Speedzone. (Too new to change and really good as it is.) But if I was in the market for a new driver. The B21 would be among the finalist, that's for sure! (Don't dismiss it before you try it, folks!)
      With that said. If you slice the ball in the same fashion as Jason did. Take a couple of lessons first. Don't buy ANYTHING!

    This confirms what people have been saying for years. I will say that I have found newer clubs that feel better in the hand and inspire more confidence, but none that fixed my swing. For that I turned to lessons and a LOT of practice and playing. Like everything in life, you need to put the work in to see the results you desire. Nice work Rick! The big brands make too much money promising false results, golf pros should be making this money instead. The technology available for lessons ( GC Quad, etc...) is much more helpful than the “technology” in newer clubs (a simple weight, club shape or material).

    The wife and I got into Golf around 6wks ago. I've never played any type of golf...unless you count putt putt. No clue where to start, no clue how to get along. Stumbled across this channel when searching for tips. I've watched so many of Rick's videos over the last 2mo - even stopping to watch as I'm on the practice range. I went from not being able to hit the ball and when I did, the ball would take an immediate right or left hand sharp turn. Yesterday, the wife and I played our first 9 holes. I'm not "good" by any means - I had 1 par lol - but we had an absolute blast, and the game is coming along. Straight shots,, i cam actually hit off the tee, and seem like i know somewhat of what im doing. Thanks Rick for the channel!

    I corrected my slice by watching your instructional video. I generally hit low to mid 90’s and after watching your video, and not even going to the range but straight to the course and implementing your techniques, I played the course from the middle of the fairway, was able to draw around the dreaded dog-leg lefts and finished my round with a 77!

      If truth be told, it’s technique technique technique! If You can groove the repetition required then it’s lessons all the way. Kit is good - but it’s never the be all and Ned all of it. Skill beats kit any day (not that I have a great deal of skill in the first place).

    What an improvement. It wasn't until Jason hit the final good shot that I realized he was aiming at the green on the left. There is a more distant green to the right and I thought he was aiming to a fairway even right of that. Not meant as a dig - just impressed by the improvement after only a few minutes of instruction.

    Brilliant video and content not only do you provide an honest review of the product but also busting the myth behind their statement which will be enough of a selling point for some out there.
    The best part for me and probably most here was that you put the club in the hands of someone who is all honesty is like most of us on the course.
    The summary of doing this is honestly to seek a lesson(s) from a pro before forking out serious cash on what could be a gimmick from the PR agency for the brand.

  • @brandona9326
    @brandona9326 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a life changing discovery in my swing which was simply tilt(to the target) turn your shoulder into the ball and then literally swing like your skipping a stone across a lake. (Crunch right side and almost side arm motion with your right arm)
    My offset driver is now a piece of junk and I BOMB my now Cobra F8. According to yardage at my local course, I drove two over 320(no where near close to my average). I had some wind with me that day but compared to my prior 220 with my offset driver, that's an insane improvement.
    I also have to thank Tom Saguto for that discovery. This is def the best and most entertaining channel but that dude makes the golf swing ridiculously easy.

    The one problem I see is that getting instructions from a “PGA golf professional “ doesn’t mean you get Rick Shiels quality advice. I speak from experience, so it’s easier to get a driver and hope for the best than be disappointed, again.

    That was the video that I really wanted to see. There have been many teachers (pros) testing the big bertha driver hitting It great. But that really never showed what it will do for the true slicer. I was ready to go buy the club, because I SLICE. I have taken many lessons but still slice. So Silly me thought it may be my answer. It would have been another $500. down the drain. I love your videos and will keep watching and learning from you. Thanks for the true eye opener.

  • @dansburns
    @dansburns 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video, Rick! And I whole-hardheartedly agree. Lessons and practice are the right way to fix a slice. And once you figure out your swing, you are going to want to get ride of the "anti-slice" driver anyway. If anything, newer players should be using a higher lofted driver with something in 12+ degree range and a soft compression ball. These two things will help to get the ball up. Once they get their swing tuned up, they can then learn to then play fades and draws. Just get a straight, forgiving driver. There are plenty of used models a year or two old that would be great for the majority of golfers, even better for beginners. Cheers!

    I replaced every club in my bag this year and although I’m hitting the ball further and more consistent than before, it’s become quite clear to me that If I want to improve my game further, I need lessons. Unfortunately the golf season here in the Midwest is winding down, so I’m planning to take lessons next spring.

  • @TheOtto3663
    @TheOtto3663 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I haven't watched every video of yours Rick but of all the one's I have watched this one has the best advice, and that's getting a lesson from a PGA Pro teacher. In 2016 I was ready to give it up. I never took lessons so I got lucky found an incredible instructor, but he falls more into the category of 'swing coach' with his style of teaching. Kirk Jones out of Jacksonville, Florida. He's written 2 books and a lot of what he has written will be in the new PGA teaching manual as they are attempting to standardize instruction with proven techniques including terminology. He has a new book/manual with a sports psychologist. Video and Flightscope at every lesson makes for very fast improvement. Inside six months I shot 79 at a course I mostly shot over 100, and the best was 97. I also noticed this was the first video - that I have seen anyway - where you mention swing path. That's something I never knew about until I took lessons. I was slapping at the ball from the outside. Changing my grip ( I had a 10 finger baseball grip) hitting the ball from the inside & getting stiff iron shafts instead of the regular shafts I had, I picked up 20 plus yards on every club and over 30 on the driver in the first month. Going from a weak fade to a strong high draw off the tee is orgasmic quite frankly, especially when you start hitting them consistently. Of course 'consistency' comes and goes anyway, mostly goes in my case. I still take a lesson here and there when the swing gets out of whack. The feedback from video and the numbers on the Flightscope make it so much easier to see the bad habits I had picked up in the last several rounds and adjust. Now it's the never-ending search to go lower and I'm going to get fit for a new Evnroll. The best money I ever spent, in my case I see it as 'invested', in having fun on the golf course is lessons. I only wish I had done it years ago. You have the best golf videos on TH-cam BTW. The production and the cool music makes for an entertaining and informative product. You also teach basically the same techniques my instructor does, except 'shaft lean' to deloft which he teaches and I can hit my 60 degree 85 yards accurately now. Used to be 60 yards max and only God knew where it would end up.

  • @Grunt21Tennessee
    @Grunt21Tennessee 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It has straightened out my ever so often slice (when I get tired) for sure. It’s not a cure all but it does indeed help. It’s a point and shoot driver setup for me. The distance is further for me also due to the lesser spin. The driver has received some great reviews overall. I came from playing the Mavrik Max. It’s (B21) a bit better in my opinion than the Max.
    To each their own. Golf is such a mind game. If it helps you hit it straighter and you believe it, then it does. Go with it.

    Bought one recently. Had in on the course 6 or 7 rounds. I’m not a natural slicer, but do feel the it tends to take the right side of the course out of play more so than my previous Callaway. It’s not a cure, but I do think it’s a help.
