My god ppl pay for anything if companies come out with some bullshit pr they are selling rust ffs as a premium product 😂. Perhaps it does help but I just think companies sell us on so much nonsense in all products we buy.
I bought these wedges two weeks ago after watching your review. I love them look great and preform fantastic best wedges i have ever bought. Thanks for the great reviews Rick.
I went out and bought a wedge the following morning after watching this video. I played with it today and absolutely loved it! Talked to someone in the golf town who had seen this video also haha!
Question Ric. Once the rust has developed do you envisage going through 3 balls a round? I’m seeing the finish as being akin to sandpaper and am a little concerned about damaging the ball. Thoughts?
Hey Rick! I started playing golf recently and I'd like to say you got me into golf and your vids have really helped me, thank you, keep up the great content!!!
man when I was younger I always played with the older wedges from the shop, the rusted ones just had a much more butter like feeling to them. they just seemed to feel right haha.
I have TaylorMade MG HI- Toe 58 & 62 degree wedges that are all rusted up & absolutely love them, very confident using them. I had Cleveland Wedges before that I really liked but these TaylorMade Wedges are the best ones yet!
No question here Rick, just wanted to thank you for your consistent content and giving me ball striking confidence on the course. Great videos for a mid handicap trying to cut down his strokes! Cheers.
I just want to say Rick, I haven’t played golf since I was about 7 years old, and I’m now 27 years old.... I started watching your channel a couple months ago and you have actually motivated me to go out and try and play. AND NOW IM HOOKED! Played 5 times in the last 2 months and I just shot my first 99 today. Thank you for putting out such great, well produced content that can motivate people like me to get out there and enjoy the incredible game of golf!
Got one of these on clearance about a month back and OMG what a wedge. Perfect amount of spin and control when paired with a decent ball. Find I don't need to carry a 60 deg now which frees up a club. Nice grip standard. I got the 56 low 8deg bounce model and find it very forgiving also as it don't dig into turf. Have already holed out twice for 🦅 from 40 and 60 yards hehe. I have officially been converted from prev only playing vokey. Can't wait to get some rust going on the face.
I’ve always been a fan of the old ATV wedges. They’ve been in my bag for years!! I’ve replaced them with newer ones every year. I’ve not been a fan of the milled grind wedges. Always thought that they were a gimmick. However, I bought a 50, 56 & had a 60 made into a 62. I’ve been using them for a few weeks now and can honestly say that they are the best wedges I’ve ever had. The spin and feel is sublime.
I've played Vokey wedges for 15 years. Have to replace them every 18 months, max. But when I saw this video, I literally went out that morning and bought two. Played that PM and these are excellent - better than Vokey plus I don't have to contend with the 1,000 combinations of loft, bounce AND grind. I'm a 6 hcp, BTW. Make it simple. WHAT's THE MAGIC FORMULA TO RUST THEM UP FAST?
Had a wedge fitting today an I have gone for this wedge in 52, it just felt nicer for me to hit this than the vokes an Jaws. If you put these an the vokes side by side they almost look like they are the same club. Size, profile, shape and everything.
Just got one "used" at a yardsale for $60 the guy bought it then hurt his back never peeled the tape off of it. I have to say I can't put this thing down it's so satisfying how much spin and how easy it is to place it on the green.
Almost didn’t recognize him without a hat. This guy destroyed my game for a few days as I learned a new grip I got from one his videos. But I kept with it (and rewatched the videos umpteen times) and my swing and strike have improved greatly. Great content this guy.
Glad to see so many videos from you lately! I'm looking at buying my first set of clubs and don't know anything about wedges yet. Going through all your old videos to see what you're using :)
Just wanted you to know rick how much I appreciate what you and Finch do for us. I bought a full F9 one lengths set 4 weeks ago ( never played before 4 weeks ago). Started watching y’alls videos religiously. I’ve played 13 rounds in 4 weeks and today I shot my first 85. Keep up the good work.
Dang I was hoping for your opinions on the short shots with rust vs non-rust. I feel like the full shots don’t matter since you’re compressing and using grooves. Short shots don’t compress and the rust may (or may not) help with getting ball to check up.
Hi Rick, I have just came across yours and Peters channels in the last couple of weeks. Very enjoyable. Binged watch an awful lot. Love the content. Thanks Alex.
For anyone watching this now and wondering how to rust it super fast, trying using a combination of strong hydrogen peroxide (H202 so oxidises fast) pure vinegar and salt mix or just peroxide alone
i’m rewatching this video 3 years after it was posted. i’ve played these wedges up until the mg3s came out. my highest lofted wedge is only a 56 with low bounce, and i’m able to do more things with it and i can carry my 2 iron and 5 wood along side my 3 wood. best wedges ever made. i messed around with mizuno wedges for awhile but they’re not as appealing to me
Rick...your have the best golf you tube channel hands downs. ALL your videos are interesting and well done. The Taylor Made wedge looks spectacular. I look forward to trying out a demo. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video :-)
SM6 in my bag. I don’t think my game will change much because of 200 extra rpm. It looks great for sure. The rust won’t affect my buying decision either way. Great video Rick!
Have you or will you ever play in Switzerland? Just came from the instagram live! Love your content, you got me back into playing golf after two years of injury. So, thank you.
Hi Rick!!! Can you please review the now famous VICE golf balls?? apparently are better than pv1 and tp5??? Please you are the master so please review this balls. Thanks mate.
This video is old now so doubtful you see this comment but if you do big fan of yours your videos have greatly improved my golf game, but was wondering if you mind sharing the rust formula you sprayed on, I bought a 56 and the bottom half seems to almost not be rusting
Hi Rick, hope all’s good. Steve Mayor here in sunny Warrington. Thanks for another great review, always enjoy your coaching videos too. I’m about to get out the credit card and get a couple of these bought, plan is for a 52° and a 58° in the standard bounce options. Quick question please : Having seen them “in the flesh”, what’s your view on whether the chrome or black looks better...? I’m a TaylorMade RSi1 irons user so I suppose the MG2’s may ‘match’ better in the chrome finish - but the black also looks so great...! Keep up the great reviews and teaching and thanks again mate.....👍😉
With all the tests comparing rusty/ non rusty claiming that rust doesn't have any effect on spin. I'm left wondering if there is too much rust sometimes and that a light brushing will remove the loose layers of particulate that would prevent the ball from grabbing the club face?
Man... if the hitoe came with a rusty face and like a black or chrome... that would be amazing ... full scoring lines with Rust and clean looking in the bag? Sign me up! Great video as always!
Doesn’t matter what your clubs look like or what they are, as long as you shoot a good score consistently with them and are comfortable, that’s all that really matters.
No idea how I came across your channel... but definitely thinking of picking up some clubs for myself and giving golf a shot again... Last time I picked up clubs was like, 20 years ago while I was still a high schooler for some introductory golfing summer camps.
Does the same logic not apply to wearing grooves that dont rust? With the difference being that when grooves wear nothing replaces them so spin goes down and down till you have to replace anyways? So if the end result is replacing the club in both scenarios i would rather have the one that is keeping spin numbers up throughout its life.
@@tylerg8652 it's going to take waaayyyy longer for you to get normal grooves to be smooth over the entire face than this situation. You might never get to that point to be honest
How long do you keep your wedges for anyway? If you're playing every week and practicing once a week they won't last more than a year and be effective...
I hear this all the time and I completely disagree. I have had my Vokey SM4 wedges for around 400-500 rounds of golf and I still get ~9k rpm. Maybe I was getting 12-13k spin rate when I first got them, but at this point the spin I generate is almost perfect for amateurs. I have the ability to stop the ball on longer shots and play pitch shots that bite. I will concede that chips and very short pitch shots don't stop as much as they used to, but that isn't something that screams "I need new wedges". New wedges run around $500 for a new set of 3 after shipping, and a fitting will run you an additional $50-100 depending on location. In conclusion most amateurs shouldn't even be conceptualizing on short spinning approach shots because of the difficulty to execute said shots. In the long run it is much more efficient for someone to keep wedges for 2-3 years if not longer so long as their spin rate is where they want it. Invest the ~$500 into a few lessons or a few more rounds with friends rather than new wedges every year that, realistically, don't have a massive impact on your game.
@@breakinggates I'm not talking about wearing all the way down on the grooves till there's nothing left, as yes i agree you may never get there. I'm just talking about till either club gets to a replacement point, which for typical wedges for me is a drop in spin rate more than 3000 rpm ish. So if the rust can make that a longer time period by keeping my spin numbers up by essentially "consuming" the face and re-rusting then it could be a win.
I've got 2 windows opened with Rick Shiels youtube videos. I'll watch Rick on the window on the left and go shopping for wedges on the window on the right. But I started browsing and wound up with another Rick video on the right. Just thought it was funny. Hey thanks Rick for putting this up!
Same here. The first time I picked it up I made fun of them saying it's the ugliest wedge I had ever seen. 10 minutes later I was sold. I've had 3 in my bag for a few years now.
btw.... I still have a set of TM wedges from the 90’s at 55 and 61 degrees with the bubble shaft in them and copper/ rusted faces..... they were great then and still perform beautifully when I take them out to,practice with a few times a year......It is an old old principal that still works..... remember the old MacGregor Tourney irons and wedges with the copper and rusted inserts?
I play Ping G20 W46, U50, S54, L58..... most of the time, I also have some Cleveland CG 14 zip grooves...50, 54, 58....love em, but I play G20 irons and the consistent weighting is more comfortable throughout a round....
No wonder you’re on good way to 1M sub. Good content. Balance between tech talk and normal golf talk pretty cool music and honest comments. Together with some of your UK colleagues keeping it fun and...honest
I have an original 61 degree cobra trusty rusty which I still use today. I always feel that the rusting helps when in semi-rough particularly if it's wet or damp. However, the TM looks fab!!!
I still use an original Cleveland RTG 56* raw finish. It's my most favorite club I've ever owned and don't plan on getting rid of it until it rusts completely away.
My Cleveland TA5s Gunmetals are always fighting rust. I'm 60, my clubs should be rusty. I love 'em. Just re-gripped them yesterday in fact. All this talk... I'm going to the range.

I think it's a great idea by TaylorMade. Would be interesting to see how the spin decreases for non rusty wedges compared to rusty wedges over time.

are there any damages on a ball when you strike the ball with a rusted wedge?

For only 200 rpm, I'll stick with my md4s. I don't like the rust look, so for only 200 rpm, it's not worth it for me
Wedge grooves wear down over time; it's possible the rusty face re-rusting will keep the friction higher and let your wedges last longer.
Honestly I used to think the same way. Then I tested a raw Vokey wedge against a chrome one in WET conditions. Day and night difference.
jaconbits go buy a wedge from 1970 on eBay then for 24$. There’s a lotta rusty ones...

what did he use to rust the wedges so quickly like that ?
Probably a mix of vinegar salt and water
5:10 sped* up not speeded Rick we need to teach the youth good grammar. Good video otherwise.
Sorry 😐
Bought a 54 and 58 of this club a few days back. Can't wait to give them a swing!
I have an original 61 degree cobra trusty rusty which I still use today. I always feel that the rusting helps when in semi-rough particularly if it's wet or damp. However, the TM looks fab!!!
Just bought this wedge on the weekend. What is in the secret formula to speed up rusting? Thanks so much for all the great reviews!
I still use an original Cleveland RTG 56* raw finish. It's my most favorite club I've ever owned and don't plan on getting rid of it until it rusts completely away.
I use the 2 Callaway Rogue A & P wedges that came with my set and a Topflite 60 degree wedge I picked new for $3.
I play an old Wilson with copper face from the 1990s. 56 degree still does well. I never have learned how to make a ball back up.
My Cleveland TA5s Gunmetals are always fighting rust. I'm 60, my clubs should be rusty. I love 'em. Just re-gripped them yesterday in fact. All this talk... I'm going to the range.
