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
Can we all just agree that Rick is the real MVP for buying and testing these things for us?
👍
You think he buys all this shit? It’s all sponsored lol. Rick is the man don’t get me wrong
We’ll he’s a multimillionaire
Definitely yes
@@DonGeeber agree with everything you said
I can only imagine how hard it was for Rick not to die of laughter throughout this entire review/video.
How dare you insult the great Jack Hamm.
it looks like somebody sliced a metallic red apple in half
Take 247... lol
@@ryanmoyer4812 😂
The equipment even looked like junk. LOL Thank you Rick for the hilarious testing video. Keep them coming! I think I would have been laughing through the entire filming of that test.
I thought the exact same thing. I have a $50 driver that looks better than those clubs
Looks like a toy!
They are made with cheap pot metals. I had somebody that wanted one of the older models reshafted and when you heat the hosel to pull the shaft the crap metal will start to bubble.
I had the same thought. It looked like hand painted.
What if already carry 600 yards
You forgot to yell, "POW" when you hit the ball. That's the real secret to the Hammer! Easily lost 80 yards with every swing because of it...😂🤣😂
BOOM! POW! WHAM! GRAAWWWW!
Gotta hit it one through the particle board, POW!!
Exactly
……..Jack holds numerous long drive records, can reverse dunk an 11 foot basketball goal, run a 4.0 40 yard dash, bench press 450, is fluent in German, Spanish, Zulu, and 5 Chinese dialects, and during the full moon can levitate...
lol my hero.
... but wait, there's more!
Wait a minute! Aren’t you talking about “Buckaroo Banzai?”
You misspelt Chuck... Chuck Norris 😂
lol!
To be fair, 4 out of 10 putts made from 5 feet is more than Rick makes with his real putter.😂 For real though, I love these reviews of crazy claim golf equipment. Keep up the good work, Rick!
That's hilarious! I was going to say the same thing...
Still laughing, and I read this first an hour ago.
he clearly wasn't focusing on those putts
😂😂😂😂 well played
OUCH!!!
What a great review, ordered the complete setup after watching this!
Bwaaaaaa!!!
me too, anybody want to buy a heap o' shyte second hand?
@@davec8730 lol
Jack Hamm learned the secret to golf and long-driving during a vision quest. As a 16 year-old boy, Jack traveled to the darkest reaches of Asia, where he sought truth, purpose, and the answer to one question: how do you hit a golf ball 500 yards?His journey took him to the Himalayas, where he engaged in a death-match with a 200 year old Yeti. After Jack defeated the Yeti with a rear naked choke, the Dali Lama gave him a ring of power, and told him to seek out the Shao Lin monks for training.
It is during his time learning the Shao Lin way that Jack got a glimpse of the secret to power. His Master, Wong Drive, teed up a ball and struck a shot 200, maybe 210 with an 9 iron. He told Jack he must focus his qi, or "chi", and breathe through his eyes to focus his power on the ball. Jack, now able to breathe through his eyes and hold that breath for 5 minutes, traveled back to the US to show the world his long-driving skills.He saves us the trip to Asia by making fantastic products like the Hammer driver and Longball golf balls available for purchase. Jack holds numerous long drive records, can reverse dunk an 11 foot basketball goal, run a 4.0 40 yard dash, bench press 450, is fluent in German, Spanish, Zulu, and 5 Chinese dialects, and during the full moon can levitate...Later that night, had dinner with the world's most interesting man and told him to get a life.
I shouldn't have laughed at his master, Wong Drive, but I did.
He should talk to Kyle Berkshire who just hit one 579 yards or something crazy like that. Play the driver Kyle plays or Bryson but even those are only going to work for you if you have INSANE club head speed which we do not. But their are some great old 3 woods and drivers out their that REALLY do over index your ability to hit and can top out over 1.50 smash factor - the old RocketBALLZ 3 wood and the ERC Driver by Callaway those both register above the LEGAL .83 COR rating for golf clubs the ERC was actually deemed illegal I heard it hit a .90 and the RBZ 3 wood is legal just seriously longer. The key is many Drivers today are legal as they his .83 but the sweet spots are HUGE so if you catch it above the sweet line and towards the toe (slightly) this maximizes everything and you can skirt the USGA legal limits and hit 1.51 and up to 1.53. I have inside info.
You forgot to mention Hamm's twin brother and nemesis, Flash Gordon
I would love to see Rick get Jack hammer out to prove that his driver works the way he says it does. That could be a really fun video to watch
The guy was at least 40 in 90s. He’s either dead or about 75 years old.
@@keithevans78 so then most likely someone just using his name to make a buck.
Waste of time for Rick haha
Where is the disinformation committee when you need it??!
@@keithevans78 you know who that is right. Jack Hamm. The OG football player. Dudes wild
You forgot to yell "POWWW" after each strike, Rick. That is where all the real power is generated.
Exactly! Rookie mistake...🤣
😅😂🤣
I was actually laughing through this whole video thinking about being on the course seeing some guy show up to the first tee with this whole set up while wearing a muscle shirt and his hat on backwards! LoL Rick this video should be aired on national Television so people wouldn’t get fooled by these gimmicks! Thanks for these videos
The Golf Channel averages 150,000 viewers per day. This video has over 1,000,000 views. Being on national television is pretty much worthless.
@@michaelg9655 Plus youtube is global
as you said, 150k views PER DAY, every day. lots of guaranteed ad space. it takes weeks or months to gain a million views@@michaelg9655
I love watching these reviews in the middle of a long work day....good way to get a good chuckle in before remembering I need to be productive again. Keep up the solid vids @Rick Shields Golf
Rick, this is Mr Hamm writing in the comments. In every driver box we tape an envelope of golden speed dust. The patented dust is key to achieving +60 yards with deadly accuracy. It's unfair to assess our clubs without applying the golden flight dust first.
You're actually meant to snort it
Hahahaha
@@scottprisk4886 hey we have the same last name
What??? Golden speed dust....?!?!?
You got to be kidding 🤣
BOOOOOOM
The man is hitting PRO V’s on the range for us! What a legend!
Yeah that’s the craziest part of the whole video! Rick’s TH-cam money must pay well lol
That was my very FIRST thought. 😂
I mean its like 50 bucks cost. As far as business expenses go. Minimal
@@joeingles5854 Peanuts plus part of the biz.
I bet he sends Guy out to pick them up...🙈
What a great video! I just stumbled on your content and this is the first video of yours that I've seen. Awesome production quality, great pacing, great edit, love that you gave him the benefit of the doubt. Can't wait to watch more of your stuff.
Thank yewwww, Rick.... For taking one for the team, I'm sure none of your followers really thought you were going to gain 60 yards. But it was fun to watch! Cheers!
It's the quality of the manufacturing that I'm most impressed with. And the paintwork is to die for.
@@That1Carson take every comment you read on the internet with a bit of skepticism my friend you’ll do a lot better out here
@@That1Carson Not sure what you are talking about. That club is impeccable. Ping could only dream of that quality control.
🤣
@@robwalker4653 exactly!
3:06 that's Bugatti paintwork standards,I'll buy one just to frame because playing it is just criminal.
If this whole TH-cam thing doesn't work out, Rick has a future in infomercials! "But wait, there's more! Not only is this the longest driver in golf, but it also rotisseries a chicken in ten minutes and makes your car headlights shine like new!"
lol so great.
Just set it... AND FORGET IT! 😂
the chicken gets me....i'm in !!!
That long glove was impressive. I reckon I could throw that further than I could throw other gloves.
Great jo Rick. Live your equipment reviews. Keep em coming!
I wonder if they also make a hammer, shaped like a golf club, that drives a nail in one swing and makes you forget everything you ever knew about nailing.
Jo Po, you everywhere my dude, miss the Rogan comment section
Need a Hammer that looks like a Golf Club called the Driver
Haha, that subtle “whistle” along the swing really got me every time. This will be my new go-to-driver from the club house tee.
Mind selling me the driver and the amazing glove @Rick? This one deserves a place in history and to walk down the family tree of generations to come.
Not even the background music (that was played Loud) could hide the whistle of magic
You sir are absolutely the best. I enjoy all your content very much! Keep up the good work
Love it. Classic Rick review. Miss this sort of content.
This one of my favourite videos. Love the Break 75, love the games with / vs. Pros. But the confidence that Rick is exuding right now gives him the ability to call it straight, not be afraid and be really funny. Great integrity, great content.
P.S. Bring back the Golfbidder challenge!
The machining on the face of the driver during the close up looks horrendous. Crazy claims indeed. Great video as always
Absolute garbage machining! And seemed like the paint work is crap too!
On the other hand, the hybrid paintwork looks MINT 3:06
Quality product right there
Yeah, the insert is poorly fitted 6:45
All you really have to do is look at it to see its crap.
I feel like they took all the old backlog original hammers and painted them really bad ground the face edges and added a cool name
Great content as always thanks for sharing!
Anytime somebody comes out with a new product, then puts a video for that product on TH-cam, but doesn’t let anybody leave comments for that product… well, let’s just say, it’s probably less than stellar. 😂🤣 Rick, love the vids!
Love these kinds of videos!! Keep up the great work Rick
luv how honest u r
Great video. Most entertaining equipment demo vid I've ever seen. Funny as hell.
I love that you dedicated yourself to purchasing these items and making this video. Hahaha. Thanks for looking out for us Rick. Much love. ❤️
Love these types of video! Well done Rick!
Fun to watch video! Thanks Rick!!!
Hahaha very amusing and fun to watch! Thanks Ricky! Epic cinematic work at the end by the way!
Thanks Rick for the objective reviews. GC Quad doesn't lie. Keep the great content flowing.
Hahahah “the LONGEST glove in golf” that got me belly laughing
I woulda liked to have seen the ball that was provided hit with your driver to see how it performed vs the pro v
Ricks club reviews are back and I’m here for it!
I've dug out my first set of Donnay clubs, and also my dad's Swilken clubs and I'm going to see how they work with my swing now... never discount a golf club... the basics haven't changed! First time as a golfer I feel I've improved enough to look back and hope to see a difference. Incidentally, considering buying a Callaway Steelhead Driver... just to have one! I've proper been bitten by the golf bug!
As I watch this, my expression cannot be any more smug than it is watching this.....my eyes cannot possibly roll far enough back into my head....i get the feeling our man Rick feels much the same way. Good on ya rick for showing what was NEVER a legit set of golf products.
Not only is he buying and testing all the clubs, balls, and other gear but he helped me shave at least 10 strokes off my game forever. Absolute rock star!
Me too. As a new golfer (but older), before watching his driver series, I was only averaging around 186-190 on my driver. This was in March of this year. Now I’m up to around 245. Just an amazing teacher. Thanks for all of your video’s Rick!
Hilarious video, thanks Rick !
4:30 I read the putting instructions and that sounds about right…the pray and putt stroke🤣
what a legend, keep up the great content 💪
@Don't read profile photo why exactly are you commenting this repeatedly it's not that funny
I was on holiday in the states way back in 2004 and clearly remember the infomercials on the golf channel for this same driver but obviously a previous model. The infomercials were hilarious with the Jack Hamm dude hitting drives out of bounds and into the mountains. Hugely sensational. What's scary is that this company is still going after all these years which means plenty have fallen for this madness....
It's that old? :D
@@151bar151 yes it is and suckers keep buying it lol.
I remember that exact infomercial and was thinking it was ridiculous then. Lol
I know who would fall for this nonsense? It is illegal to use so why buy it.
Rick, love ur takes bud.. Brilliant 🇿🇦
Loved this. A good laugh at the start of the week 🤣
"They're just words, they don't really mean anything."
It's a postmodern golf club 🤣
Only thing I actually use in this video is the zero friction tees. They’re pretty nice for when I’m playing horribly and just start doing long drive competitions with my cousin every driver hole. Added benefit is that they never break and they never get lost since they stick so far into the ground lol
Looks great! I just ordered 2!
This is actually one of my favorite RS videos. Absolutely hilarious!!! I appreciate Rick buying nonsense like this and giving it a go.
What I'd like to know is how you can hit a bunch of drives with this thing and then immediately switch back to a decent club without shanking it 60 yards to the right on your first swing. Guess that's what separates the pros from the rest of us.
Love these reviews. My favorite was Rick taking the bag of illegal clubs on the course. So funny.
The HammerX is a joke to me. The TV adverts are so cheesey.
Thanks Rick. You always make these reviews entertaining!
There are actual TV commercials for this garbage??? 😂🤣😂🤣 Have I travelled back to 1980? Holy shit 😂
I'm glad I watched this whole video. I was about to buy this sight unseen based on their claims! :) Great de-bunking skills my friend!
Late to this party ... Rick you are fantastic love the content and just for the fun of it I would love to learn how to use all 3 items just to prove to my mates that branding is not always the best route. Love & God Bless !
Friend of mine used to have a driver called The Whistler.
It made a whistling noise in the down swing.
And then sounded like someone kicking a garbage can when you hit the ball.
I have a putter that resonates and rings after you hit it. It's super helpful for fucking with your partners as they're trying to focus on putting.
Rick: The last club I bought from this company was rubbish
Company: We got some new stuff available
Rick: Alright then, here's my card number
Hilarious vid Rick, loved it!
im 3 minutes into this video and im crying. lmao this is the best video you have ever posted.
If Rick knew how to properly utilize the 6 turbo speed slots he would have witnessed what the hammer is truly capable of.
👆underrated comment!
This guy is the Inspector Gadget of golf. Can't wait for his next contraption... Literally a turbo-powered driver with afterthrust 😂
I was never interested in the hammer x but I am very interested in the stand alone putter. I feel like it would help me learn to read greens
You are the man! @rickS thank you
You should do a round of golf with jack hamm 😅
Imagine!
Rick will more or less show him up, and destroy him. Anyone can be good at the long game, but even with Rick not able to break 75 yet this season, he will still beat him with the iron game and subpar short game (which Jack Hamm's probably will be worse).
After seeing the video, my money's on Rick beating Jack Hamm by 15 shots.
Jack can hit 400+ yards though. Maybe Rick can add it to the 10- series. You know, just to make it fair on him.
@@TheSlothrop23 nah. I can comfortably see Rick beating him all out without the handicap.
Someone hitting 400 yards doesn't mean their short game is good. Anyone can blast it long but if your short game isn't good then it doesn't matter.
@@RickShielsPGA Jack should bring JCB to it's knees!! You may need to wear a fire-proof suit if you stand anywhere NEAR his follow through! AND earplugs for the ensuing "Iconic Sonic" boom...
Great video Rick. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people that will believe the hype and videos like yours will hopefully save them a packet. Well done to you👍
I mean if you’re stupid enough to fall for that ridiculous pitch, then you deserve to get scammed out of your money.
Thanks for the video.
Lol! How have I not seen this till today?! Hilarious! Love it!
Regardless of the gimmicks I actually like those zero friction long tees you can tee higher in certain situations and I've been using the same tee for 3 outings now
The tees are good I use them too. I think it's a fine option rather than classic tees. My dad got gimmicked into hammer drivers and can't make good contact. He just doesn't wanna give them up
I would like to see Martin Borgmeier with this “long” driver !
I have no interest in golf and yet this was so entertaining and so well done this was a great watch!
The concern for the clubhouse when hitting the hybrid…Brilliant. 😂
C’mon Rick, everybody knows the hammer long golf balls pick up speed in flight with their quantum glide F-19 super flow technology. You can’t trust the GC Quad.
I would love to see Rick test the legal version of the Krank drivers to see how they compare to his Ping.
I know a number of pros that have tested Krank and none gained anything over their current brand
This is by far your funniest video!!
Oh my god. Lol. The commercials are entertaining but that’s about it. Thanks Rick for entertaining us!
Does anyone remember the killer bee driver? I'd love to see if Rick could find one! I actually have hit one b4 and it seemed to do the job. It belonged to a kid in the group I was in backnin high-school! Agree 100% these hammer clubs are rubbish! Thanks for the great videos! Look for a killer bee driver and test it please!
I've still got one of those!
Yep! I had one of those! When I got it right it definitely hit the ball further, but I couldn’t find any sort of consistency with it. That longer club shaft was too hard to adjust to.
Love this video! You should play vs a pro and let them use these clubs! You give them a -10 head start too! I’m sure you’ll win!
This takes the Cake as Ricks best video. I dont know how he made it without laughing constantly.
Love these videos
There was a yellow driver about 20 years ago called like the killer bee or something like that. It actually hit it farther when I tested it at Dicks sporting goods. The bad news was after like 5 test hits the top of the driver caved in from the flex of the face when you hit it. Find one and try it out. Worked great just don’t last
I remember that driver. I tried to look it up a few years ago but couldn't find anything about it. If I remember, it had an extra long shaft.
@@danieljd6776 this old guy I used to play with used a killer bee with a 48" shaft.
@@hutzman7664 How was it?
@@danieljd6776 hit it the same as any other driver. He didn't swing hard enough to really make a difference.
It really felt like Rick was subtly roasting them for the first few minutes 😂😂😂
Great video. Very amusing.
Great video! Love when you do this, keep it up, Hammer Time!!!..LOL
So aside from the incredible claims, look at 6:43 the milling around the insert doesn't even look that good! Gets really inconsistent around the area near the shaft.
To be fair, golf pros who carry it 280 with a draw aren’t the ones buying this driver. Clearly it’s ridiculous and doesn’t work but there is still a part of me that’s a little curious if you gave it to a 30 handicap slicer who swings at 80 mph if they would see an extra 10 yards or something and slightly increased swing speed. I highly doubt it but just curious, ya know?
No absolutely not. It's junk. Total scam.
No, it's absolutely a garbage gimmick. REAL companies designing REAL drivers are optimizing with R&D, quantifiable tests, actual demonstrated results - they want 30 handicaps to be successful just as much as tour pros.
Happy to help finance these tests via clicking that Like button. Thanks for all you do!
Brilliant video rick. Would you think of testing the Lazrus wedges seeing adds for them everywhere lately wondering if they are any good. Love the channel.
I just can’t imagine how these claims can be legal! This being so, is there no claim that can’t be made? What makes this so much crazier is that this driver has been on the market for years now? I do not understand how that is possible! Mr. Hamm must have an awful lot of cash to throw away

Respect
As a big thank you for 10 mins of pure comedy, I shall watch 3 full length adverts on your vids 🙂
I've never played golf but I'm addicted to your channel and videos. Love it! I want to give golf a try but don't have a clue where to start. Do I have to have my own clubs? Do I need a membership at a golf course? I looked online and read about taster sessions but non of the websites for my local clubs seem to mention anything for total beginners.
You can rent clubs at most golf courses. You don't have to belong to a course.
You should go to a driving range first, preferably with an instructor to help you get started.
Call your local golf course and see if they have a range and somebody who can help you get going.
Good luck, and have fun!
This guy is from my hometown, and for a while it had the shop where he sold this junk. I personally never met him, but according to those in the know, he was kind of thought of as the village idiot.
It's pretty obvious he just buys crap out of Asian manufacturer catalogs and has his Hammer brand slapped on them. Then makes up random claims to sell them. I doubt any of the designs are even his own...just picked from a catalog.
Rick is a comedian now haha love it
Thanks, Rick. Appreciate the review of Junk in a box!
Hahaha thank you for testing this rubish so we do t have to. I love these videos, good laughs
Thanks Rick, needed something a bit light hearted. 👍
It did make for a really fun video. I may have to try playing golf because of your videos. At least in VR or something. 😂
What a Great FUN video, They say it must go that far, Hmmm
Glad you put it to the test.
🤣 Love how you bought everything . So good.
This was comedy gold. The shaft is not like any other driver on the planet had me laughing
