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
2004 late fall, I’m at a course on a Sunday afternoon waiting for my tee time. Naturally I was checking out the pro shop and happened upon a Mizuno blade putter that also had Bettinardi inscribed into it. Curious, I picked it up because I have a lot of Mizuno in the bag, but checked out the feel and liked it. I then looked at the price tag, which was WAY more than I was comfortable paying. The guy at the shop said to take it with and play my round with it, so I did. Honestly it was incredible. I remember thinking there’s no way I can justify the cost to my wife, so sadly brought it back and told the pro thanks, but it’s just too much. He said tell you what, it’s end of season and I need to move inventory, will you give me $125 for it? Yessir! Yes I will!
That putter has been in the bag ever since. It still has the original grip and head cover and has been my trusted pal for twenty years. It turns out to have been a helluva bargain. I’m not sure about these new irons though. Mizuno has treated me well for many years also. It would take a lot to put something else in the bag, but admittedly the Bettinardi’s do look very nice.
Would love to see you review a set or two of Takomo irons. The Bryan Bros and Busta Jack deals have raised a lot of questions for such a good price!
Takomo is the most boring golf related stuff on TH-cam
@@paulmcgee1867 that doesn't make sense
@@paulmcgee1867if boring means no extra design then yeah they’re boring. But i switched to them from mizunos and they’re worth the hype
@@djamani9013 Nope they are boring!!!

Great review Rick…. So, I know you have tons of stuff to review, but if I could make a request…. I’m from the states, and there’s a smaller club builder brand named Maltby and they’re part of The Golf Works brand. They have a blade that came out last year called the Maltby TS4. They are very affordable, about 60. Dollars a head. Listen, I’ve hit everything under the sun!! You name it, I’ve played it. These TS4’s for me are some of the softest blades I’ve ever hit, and they’re super forgiving, I don’t say that lightly, Im dead serious, they are quite possibly the most forgiving true blade I have ever hit AND the softest. They are a true solid billet design forging. If there is anyway you could get a set and review them I’d appreciate it and I’m sure your viewers as well!! Thank you for all you do Rick. I follow you religiously.
Glad to see the channel running. These irons are on the radar for me as a replacement for my P790's a few years from now. Just need to keep practicing.
Added these into my bag and took out some Callaway’s. Love these clubs. I’ve never struck clubs that feel so clean
Would love to see you review the Maltby TS1M clubs
Those new Maltby forged irons look really good!
Would be cool to see you demo some Maltby offerings. TS1-IM, TS3, TS4, TE+.
Got the ts4 and have been playing then decent, i need to upgrade the shaft, the current true temper score lt shafts are too high launching for my liking as well as my style of hitting
regular H.I.T content.... keep it coming man
Would love to see your studio do a comparison of these Bettinardi vs the DTC Haywood's out of Vancouver, Canada. Is the price point making that much of a difference vs the Haywood CBs?
I got the Haywood MBs had them for 2 seasons don’t see how how any iron could be better absolutely love them
Freddy Couples fell in LOVE with the Bettanardi irons !!!! I think its an outstanding looking iron to me ! , But then I played the 1996 Callaway Big Berta irons that looked like tanks ....LOL..... the looks of an iron have never bothered me, I have played about every iron out there over the past 49 years!!! I think the craziest irons I ever played were the Cleveland VAS irons. And they played very well , Corey Pain won a major with them !
Keep in need her is on their staff
I had the VAS driver when I was a teenager. My grandpa won it in a tournament and didn't like it. It was the first full length driver and first titanium I ever had. I thought it was magical. Legitimately gained about 50 yards over the Tommy Armour 845 driver with a steel shaft that was too short for me that I had in the bag before.
Fred Couples is paid to fall in Love with these clubs
Please review the srixon zx line! Zx4, zx5 and zx7!
I was a water treatment contractor at a place that plated Bettinardi putters and I was so stoked when i saw 50 of them hanging on the rack when I walked by. Still, I hated that account and next to the putters was a bunch of door knobs which kind of took off from the luster lol.
I love the look of these clubs, I am a Bettinardi fan though as I play their Queen Bee Putter and it feels sooooo good off the face and rolls well.
They look sleek af 👌🏻 Still rather have the Wilson irons from the other week though 😅
I want to see you go back to old clubs. Old blades and try them. Like old brands not active anymore like Dunlop, Spalding and Slazenger. Do the Australian blades, you'd love them!
Would be great fun for this channel
I just regripped a set of Kryondons TomShaw series... 5 dollars USD for the full set at a garage sale, 7 new grips 80. Dollars.. so a New set for 85 bucks.. this is my new jam.. new set every year
I had the Mizuno C-5 half-mallet putter from that collaboration effort between Bettanardi and Mizuno. I went to an Iron Demo Day and the Mizuno rep had the C-5 as his personal putter and let me take it to the putting green. It took me a few years to track one down, and sadly, it was among the clubs I subsequently lost in a burglary.
Loving the hit channel 🙌🏻
It’s like having the old Rick back 👍🏻👍🏻
I asked for this on a previous video, & am stoked to see your review!!
Would love to see a Cobra King Tour Irons review!
Reminds me a little of my Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro irons I play. Similar look.
Love that the channels back
When are you going to review Takomo's? They are amazing
Learned over the years that too much offset really throws my brain for a loop. Just can not hit the ball straight consistently with any large offsets, in a 5 iron all the way down to wedge. However, I do like traditional iron lofts. Mainly looking for distance control in irons. As my swing got better, I switched from "distance" irons to more traditional type and my scores improved instantly. The game is much easier when you hit the ball straight-ish😅
Grew up not too far from where Bettinardi is made. Lots of high school kids around me used their putters and wedges and they are always incredible
I just got a set of Callaway X OS irons for $329. Just played the best round of golf on a par 3 course trying out these new irons. I'm stoked to play on an actually course now.
Wilson Staff and then Bettinardi... Chicagoland representing !
@H.I.T GOLF you should review bettinardi putters and wedges!
As far as looks go the CBs remind me of my old Miura PI-401s while the MBs look more like the MC-502s. Anyone know who has the manufacturing contract for the Bettinardi irons?
Missed opportunity to ave a Vessel Lux 2.0 bag with the club organizer to show off the irons
Rick, would it be possible for you to do a video recommending the best “full set” of package clubs for a beginner. Maybe even doing best package in different price categories, such as £0-£600, £600-£1200, £1200-£1800.
I used their wedges for a while. Ok but now I’m on mizuno t24 and couldn’t be happier. Bettinardi wedges for some reason really never inspired me with confidence on full shots.
These look nice though
Hey Rick, love the content! Would there be any way for you to do direct comparisons to maybe the last couple years clubs? Something like the Sim2 and the Qi10, or the Paradym Ai Smoke to the Rogue ST. A lot of us wait for the "hot new clubs" to be a couple of years old to buy them and it would be awesome to see head to head comparisons to see just how much something is better. Much like you comparing Ole Bluey to the new Ping 3wood
Please review some of the Sub70 clubs. Love the content Rick!
Taylor made vibes is a bit of an understatement!
I'm in the UK. These are Made in the USA which if I was American would be a consideration. Supports, all be it a limited number of jobs but rare these days and a dearer labour market, so more expensive production costs. Of the two clubs in the range I think the Blade looks to tick more boxes in its category then the CB's. If you get a chance Rick.
Raw forgings made.in China/ Taiwan finished badged etc in USA
Maltby TS1IM irons Rick, would like to see what you think of those beauties!
You should do an ULTIMATE DTC comparison (Takomo, Sub70, Haywood, New Level etc.)
Who exactly were they targeting with this model and the offset and thick top line
Bettinardi fans that aren’t single figure handicaps. They weren’t about to bring out an ugly, chunky game improvement iron.
I have their wedges and love them. Can't wait to try these.
Could you do a review of the Nike vaporfly pro 3s - would love to see if they stand the test of time!
Rick, give MacGregor some love. Maybe review the new MT-Pro and MT milled irons. They're like a third of the price of these so it would definitely cater to way more people who can't afford a $1600 set.
Hey Rick. You should buy and test the Nickent set. Got them a year ago and they are amazing for there price.
Please review a set of Sub 70 irons and putter sometime!
Would love you to review the Takomo irons, I've just hot the 201's and they're amazing and great value
I still use my Mizuno Bettinardo C03 putter. Still 3 putt😊
I'm going Mizuno or Srixon or Wilson. Fitting soon
The fact the Rick won't go anywhere close to a mizuno iron baffles me .... he must be afraid.. once u go Mizuno u never go back
I have been Mizuno for 15 years. Prior, 3 yrs Srixon, the rest has been Hogan. Love the look of the Srixon and Wilson ones.... gotta look buuuuuut... they better be unreal good to change
Another great video Rick! Been here since day 1 and great to see regular videos coming back 👊
With you teaming up with Vessel on this chanel, what're the chances of a bag giveaway? Literally the only golf item I want right now but can't afford it 😢 so would love the chance to win one in a giveaway.
Keep the videos coming, love the content as always.
In reference to your tid bit on Bettinardi products at other brands, I’m not sure if this is correct but I was under the impression he actually worked for Scotty Cameron and is in fact the one who designed tigers putter. Thus making those numbers you said in the beginning a little low…
They also did the Nike putter he used as well I believe!
You and Pete could almost do a H.I.Tbidder challenge with all those clubs, although the £500 budget might have to go up a bit!
Can you review mizuno pro 245!!!
Remind me of the old Ben Hogan irons. 👍😊
Can’t wait to see them at Costco!
Think people not realising that 1600 usds isnt 1600 gbp...
If u think about the "premium" brand compared to the Wilsons you tried the other day then it seems that paying an extra 200 gbp across a set of irons isn't that bad. I would deffo give them a try if they had them near me when i go in to get a new set of irons soon. They look nice as do the Wilsons , food for thought as i thought would just get abother set of Mizuno
Please consider reviewing Maltby, Tacoma, Sub 70, etc direct to consumer brand irons.
Great video once again rick. can you ask vessal to get restocked in their popular lines once again, willing buyer here but stuffs just out of stock
i have a mizuno bettarnardi putter, and id love to get a set of these irons, soo attractive!
What about comparing cheaper starter sets? Are Mcgegors any good?
MB P-6, CB 5,4 and I think these could find a home in my bag.
Would love to see a Stix v. Takomo v. major brands! And how they compare.
I’ve got that exact bettinardi Mizuno putter called. Except it’s the tour edition. Will sell for the right price if anyone wants
Please review the takomo irons
I’ve agree 100%! Would love to see Rick’s honest review of the Takomo irons!
still hope for an Takomo Video. Love this Channel
Can you do a review on the new MT-86 pro irons?
Getting Hogan apex pro vibes from these only the Hogan's look better, lol! They aren't going to compete for big sales volume against the major brands, anymore than Vega and other expensive prestigious brands could. A review of some Maltby irons might surprise you, Rick!
Would love to see you take a look at some takomos
They are a gooooood looking set of irons, glad to see them get a solid review from you Rick!
It's odd they have GolfPride grips because Lamkin, also being from Chicago like Bettinardi, makes their putter grips.
Tbh they just look like TM TP irons from 2011 without the weight port thing also think Callaway has another similar looking iron this year
Just what we needed another set of clubs the average Joe can't afford. That's why I really enjoyed your episode on the Wilson's
$1600 ,....... me looking at any set of cb/mb ish iron set $2000+. ( 1600 usd to can is about 2100). Can someone explain why its so dam expensive to get good clubs in Canada?
Take these out to worsley park and test them there Rick.. you seemed to hit them very well.
Bettarnardi had Fred couples hTest these irons bc he uses their putter.he couldn’t praise them enough.you’ll spend $600 for 1 driver but $1600 for irons seems crazy?premium clubs for a premium feel is up to the individual.
He was still playing his Bridgestone irons at The Masters though?
It’s interesting to see how they perform. How bout a side by side with a major manufacturer?
As others have said, I'd love to see a Takomo iron review.
The MBs are my favorite iron ive ever hit. theyre so good.
I need to try those!!!!
Would love if you done a few golf ball reviews like which ones offer the greatest spin the greatest ball speed etc etc. Especially best ball for value of money.
I personally feel like the TP5x spin more than the ProV1x. I’d like to see the numbers as well.
@sl1ck557 There great balls the only issue is their ridiculously expensive there's some other balls too that I'd love to see some numbers on, but there not quite as expensive.
This is a product for the more rarified equipment fans in my view. This is more alongside the ilk of Miura, Itobri, Dragon, Avoda and Scratch golf so those players don’t care about the price they just want something exquisite and elusive. If these are as good as their wedges and putters then they’ll be having a ball 😁
No way I could see myself spending $1600 on set of irons when you have companies like takomo is making clubs as good if not better for $600.
Poor people talk
@@jetro7349 lol buddy I own 3 very successful new car dealerships so fortunately I can usually afford what I want. I care more about golfing being affordable for the masses. Glad you are such a big rich man tho. Something tells me you aren’t tho haha
How do you know they are as good , if not better?
I'm from the Internet.
@@michaelwalsh7753 because I have an amazing skill of being able to read and see reviews of the clubs from many different golfers. Its an amazing talent try it sometime.
I think your graphics guy needs the sack, "GC - Central of Gravity" 😀😀😀😀😀
Like the look of these irons but i dont see them competeing with big boys yet
At least they are doing something different. It’s a true forged club without polymer fillers. Interesting
What about reviewing the titlest concept irons that are $500 per club
Don’t you think that as a “foot in the door” first set if they’d have come in like cobra did with F9 driver that little bit cheaper they would have got interest up and then just push the r&d to get alongside the big guns! 🤷🏻 just sayin..plenty of bag appeal!
Would love to see a miura iron review
What in the heck is "work experience"?
I started working at age 6, is that when I started my "work experience"?
Retired at 59.
I highly recommend it over "work experience".
I think it’s got to do with maybe golf professional apprenticeship?
@@lawbinson Ahhhh, makes sense.
Although it may apply to all trades.?
Example: Young man who wants to be a mechanic, as an early teen has "work experience" in a garage.
@@lescook9021 It very well could be. I know some professions have a requirement that you shadow someone for an amount of years. But, really, it could be any scenario since he didn’t specify haha.
Please do Takomo next! That brand might be the big brand killer!!
Their gorgeous but for $1600, nah. Not close. Was a good attempt at their first attempt at irons. They're never compete with big brands or Takoma. Thanks for reviewing these Rick. We take these reviews serious
$1600 I can buy 2 sets of new srixon for that and srixon are amazing irons.....
Hey Rick, you should vs Taco golf. Taco golf is a youtube channel from NZ. Would be a fantastic match and would help him improve his quanity of subscribers.
Thanks Rick-another great vid!!
Amazing you've never tried takomo irons 🤔
Can you review callaway strata golf set please
$1600 is a lot
But when your putter is $800, I expected even higher.
Nuts what golf has become price wise
Personally, I don’t mind the sharp/straight front edge of the irons, but I do agree that the hosel looks bulky and kind of out of place.
4 yrds std. dev. On those 7irons, isn’t that great? 🔥
PLEASE REVIEW ALL NEW PING IRONS!!! THE NEW I530 THEY ARE BEAST MODE!!!
"Central of Gravity"
Otherwise another bob on review. Nice irons.
I have a bettinardi bb1 putter and that thing is money and i love the brand. But i feel like if people want this type of iron they sre just gunna go with the p7mc
Will always struggle if people can't get fitted and ease to find a fitting location in uk
I’d like to see Miura iron test
The MBs look and perform better than the CBs. It is less offset and better through the turf.
