Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube 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.

I’m the kind of golfer who is really, really happy to break 80. And sometimes, I’m being honest, it gets close to 90. But with that being said, I still go every single time I play golf and use these Prov1s. Part of me just thinks I have to use a Prov1. They’re the best ball in golf. But I lose a lot of them on the golf course. And these now cost £50 a dozen. So, in this video, I’ve got three other golf balls I’ve bought off the internet that I think, you know what, they’re a bit cheaper than Pro V1, but are they actually any worse? In this video, we’ll find out. So, I got thing of this video idea because, as I said, I’m trying to break 80. And the reason I’m not, if honest with you, is cuz I’m losing golf balls left, right, and center off the tea. So, if I’m going to lose golf balls, why do I want to lose those, which again, very, very expensive. So, the golf balls I’ve bought off the internet are these. Some you’ll be thinking, “Yeah, I see why I’ve chose those.” So, all there’s a little bit more Rogue, but the first ones I got were these Titleist True Feel. Now, these golf balls are a lot cheaper than Pro1. They’re actually half the price. These cost $24.99 dozen. And I’ll be honest, not a golf ball I’ve tried before or maybe gone towards, but again, it’s tight list. Let’s see what they’re like. The second golf ball I’ve gone with, a lot of you guys watching recommend these all the time, are Bridgestone. Going the Bridgestone TourB RX. Again, golf ball. a lot of um a lot of kind of niche fans, a lot of people hardcore Bridgestone fans, so going to try those out. They cost me £29.99, so a little bit dear in the tight list, but again, 20 cheaper than Prov1. And the last golf ball is this. This is a very rogue shout. Mazuno Tour RB. The reason I’ve gone with Mizuno is because I have never ever in my 27 or so years of playing golf, never ever tried a Mizuno golf ball. They make great irons. This golf ball again, $24.99, so half the price for Prov V1. What is it going to be like? Okay, so before getting to hitting some full shots, these golf balls, I have already been to the Maritworthy Park and done some initial testing. Done some putting, some chipping, and also a durability test, which we’ll come on to a bit later on. But first of all, I got on the 18th green and gave myself about 10 15t put and initially hit some with the Pro V1, the golf ball I kind of know and love and always use. And you know what? It felt great. Of course it did. It’s a Pro V1. And after that, I went to the True Field, a Titleless True Feel golf ball, the first thing I noted is how much softer it felt on those putts. It actually felt great. And if I had a blindfold on or didn’t know what I was hitting, I would say that True Feel golf ball was actually more expensive. It felt awesome. I then went into the Mazuno golf ball, which again I’ve never ever used before. Rolled a few putts with it. A little bit clickier, a little bit firmer. Didn’t quite feel as nice the two tightest golf balls, but you know what? It felt okay. And last up was the Bridgestone golf ball. So again, few puts, some of them went in, some of them miss, which is normal for my golf, but overall felt great. Again, a little bit clickier. Definitely the Mazuno and the Bridgestone a little bit firmer to feel those putts. And certainly three golf balls that I could definitely use a putt with. So, so far I’m thinking to myself, these cheaper golf balls are actually pretty impressive. Let’s go into the chipping green. Cuz for me, although I lose a lot of golf balls off the tea, that’s definitely the worst part of my game. The best part of my game is my short game I would say my chipping and my pitching. So again on the chipping green got the proby ones first. Hit a few chip shots. Everything went well. They felt soft. They felt great. They had a little bit of check, a little bit of control. Big tick for the prov one. Of course there would be. Then very interestingly was a Titless True Field golf ball. Off the face with those little kind of 58 degree wedge pitch shots. Again, lovely. Very, very soft. However, what was really interesting, and you have to trust me on this cuz it’s very hard to see on video. It was going higher. Like I don’t know how high, but it was definitely going a couple of feet higher in the air on those little pitch shots, which I think sometimes softer golf balls do, but it was definitely going higher, but felt great. Stopped quickly. And so far, again, I’m thinking to myself, why is this golf ball half the price of a prov one into the Mazuno and the Bridgestone? Both nice golf balls, but again, like was a putter, a little bit clicky, a little bit firmer, but they did stop. They checked up quickly. Some of them went quite close to the hole. No complaints there. So, at this point in the test now, I’m thinking I’ve been to the putting green. I’ve been to the short game area. Those are two places where I want a golf ball to feel nice. Huge big tick for the true feel golf ball. But now comes probably the bigger test really. I’ve got my pitching wedge, my seven iron, and I’m a mini driver. These are golf clubs where you’re going to see changes in ball speed, in spin, and again in feel. And if these golf balls work with these golf clubs, I’ve got a massive question to ask myself and maybe you guys watching. Why am I paying top top dollar for balls at the Prov1 when these cheaper models that are half the price work just as well? So, first off, I’m going to hit my pitching wedge in the Prov1. I won’t bore with loads of shots. I want for my own sanity really. Get some data, get some feel, see how they’re going. And again, those golf balls I chose, I literally just chose pretty much at random. I know titless, so pick the tightest golf ball. Again, you guys rave about Bridgestone, picked the Bridgestone Mizuno golf ball I’ve never ever tried. So, again, let’s see how they go with the longer clubs. But first up, pitch and wedge provoping for 140 yards to carry. That’s what you get the Pro V1. It just stops nicely. Decent shot for me. Again, I’m clearly not an amazing golfer. So, for a picture hitting the green, that’s what I want. 135 yardsish that carried. Decent shot to start with. Happy with that. And again, the Pro V1 felt exactly how I’d expect it to. soft, stopped quickly, nice launch, all the kind of things you’d expect. Now, we’ve got the Titless True feel, and it sounds weird, but you might know what I mean. In hand, next to a Pro V1, it does feel different. It does feel kind of cheaper and not quite as premium, but that’s just a feel in your hand. Does that really matter? I don’t think it does. Let’s see how it performs with a a wedge in hand. Bit short, but right in the line. Now, that was a bad swing, but that was on me. Still hit the green, but not my best golf shot ever. What will be interesting to see, as I said on chip shots before, that golf ball honestly went higher than the Pro V1. When we look at the data in a moment, we’ll see if the pitching wedge full shots do or not. It’s hard to tell obviously on those shots, but so far so good. And what’s crazy, what I’m thinking about constantly when I’m hitting these shots is if someone said to me in the street, you know, who should use Titus True Field Golf Ball, I’m going to say, “Oh, you know, a high handicapper maybe.” I’m already doubting myself why. Like, are we just brainwashed by the brands by Titus 2? Is a brand that I really respect and I’ve used kind of all my life. But are we brainwashed that you should use the Prov1? You know, good golfers or mid- handicap golfers get the Prov1. It’s the premium ball. It’s £50 a dozen. So far, I’m thinking, what is the difference? Hm. Interesting. So, the Mazuno golf ball is the same price that is true feel, but in hand, again, I know it’s a weird thing to say, in hand, it does feel a bit more premium. It looks really good. The kind of Muno logo on the front of it, the number four on this golf ball, the RV tour on the side, a little small alignment line. Interesting to see what happens here. I’ve never ever hit a full shot with the Muno golf ball. And that changes right now. Can I hold one? That would be impressive to start with. Wasn’t a great swing, but it should get there. It has just This is going to be where I jinx myself, but so far I’ve not missed the green. Now, I know it’s 140 yards. I shouldn’t miss the green, but still it’s going well. [Music] Another nice one. Feels great off the face. Honestly, if I was blindfolded there, it’ be hard to hit a golf shot blindfolded. If I was, I don’t think I’d know much difference between the three, honestly. Certainly, just watching the results, it’s hard to really tell any difference, but so far so good. Okay, so last up with the pitching wedge is the Bridgestone golf ball. I never like the names. I think Rick’s probably said in his reviews before, it’s quite confusing, but it’s a Bridgestone TourB RX golf ball. This is the dearest of the three at £29.99, so 30 dozen in hand. Again, looks super premium. Before in the putting in chipping, it was good. A little bit clicky again, but nothing that concerned me. I think that in the longer in the long club 79 the driver that one might go a little bit longer than maybe the tightest true field golf ball. We’ll find out in a minute. Hit the wedge so well so far. So, let’s see if we can continue that. That felt different. That’s gone high. That felt different. This golf ball in the pack does say it’s for club head speeds of 105 mph or less. With my driver, I’m about 110. So maybe a little bit fast for this golf ball, but I’m not playing loads of golf at the minute, so it probably will fit me. Okay, but I know Bridgestone are big on their ball fitting. Do lots of different golf balls for different club head speeds. Feels hip. You know you’ve hit it. I do like that. That’s close. Oh, it hit the pin. I’ve never ever seen that before. Okay, so that’s a good few shots of each of the golf balls. What I’m going to do now is quickly go through the data with the pitch wedge of those four golf balls. Then we’ll go into 7 I really quick hit loads in 7 and then it’s the big one. It’s the mini driver, which is what I use as my driver at the minute. But let’s have a look now at that data. So far that data has blown my mind. The carry distance is 137 with the Prov1, 136 the True Field, so a yard less, 134 with the Mazuno, and then 138 with the Bridgestone. So, not loads in it to be honest with you, but the Bridgestone’s gone the furthest on carry, but hardly anything in it whatsoever. Ball speed was low on the Mizuno golf ball and distance was low. So, probably the worst performing so far. But what really stands out between the Prov1, the True Field, and the Bridgestone, all of them had a ball speed of 106. They all carried relatively similar distances, but the big thing was spin. The Bridgestone launched really high, which I thought it was, but spam the least. Probably why it went the furthest, but the Prov1 and the True Feel had pretty much the exact same spin. So, so far up to this point, I’ve got two Titless golf balls, again, one at 50 for a dozen, one at £25 a dozen. And so far to this point, there’s nothing that really makes any difference in one or the other. I’m a bit of a golf snob. I am. I want to use Prov1’s every time I play golf. But so far, I’m questioning myself as to why that is, cuz this data and the feel, you can’t split them. Okay, so now it’s a 7. And don’t worry, I’m not going to talk loads. Going to get through these shots really quickly. Same order. Got the pin at 170. Going to go provo Bridgestone. Report back with the findings in two seconds. After that shot, that went 181 carry. I don’t know where that strength came from. So, we’ve moved the pin back now to 180. Okay, now it’s time for the true feel. [Music] I don’t know what’s happened, but this true feel is going absolutely miles. Those couple of shots weren’t hit necessarily great. They were just hit nice. They’ve gone miles. Next up, Mazuno. Okay. And Bridgy. [Music] Okay. I’m very intrigued now to see that 79 data cuz it felt like the other three golf balls went further than the Prov1. But let’s look at the data first. Right. Okay. You might have to bear with me a second here cuz I’m struggling to believe what I’m seeing. I need to check what I’m reading is correct. I hit all those golf shots of every ball decent like okay. Nothing absolutely spectacular and thankfully nothing horrendous. The Prov1 carried at 179. Let’s call it 180 for round figures for my 79. I’ve got a new 7i and that’s roughly what I expect. So, no problems with that at all. Ball speed of 125 and spin at 57. Bit low, but whatever. The true feel, the tightest true feel, a little brother to the Pro V1 was 189 carry, so 10 yards more carry, 4 mph more ball speed. It was lower spin, which could be a concern. It was nearly well less than 5,000 spin. And then the Mazuno and the Bridgestone both went out to 183 carry. Similarish ball speeds of like 125, 127. Again, slightly lower spin, but again, launch angle’s okay. I honestly now I’m borderline stuck for words, which isn’t great for a YouTube video, I know, but I’m looking thinking, what on earth is this True Field all about? It feels great. It’s going absolutely miles. It’s launching high. The only way this can end up shifting now is when I use my mini driver. For some reason, the True Field doesn’t perform. But before we even get to that, I’ve got to talk you through the results of the durability test cuz I went into the bunker, Marcy Park, did the famous Rick Shields test. 10 shots out of a bunker with every single golf ball. And here’s the results. Okay, so hopefully the close-ups of these golf balls do this justice. And I know in reality, most of us who are looking at maybe buying these golf balls might not care too much about durability because let’s be honest, we’ll probably lose the golf ball before it becomes a concern. but had to test it anyway. And the Prov1 after 10 bunker shots in a very wet bunker, got a couple of little scuffs, but it’s fine. And that’s something the Prov1 prides itself upon its durability. So that’s okay. Again, the truth feel kind of winning everything so far. Couple little scuffs, but no better, no worse. The Prov1, it was fine. And same again for the Mazuno and the Bridgestone. They’re kind of all just fine. There’s no issues at all. I mean, obviously if you smash off a boogie path, it might make a bit of a difference, but for those kind of golf shots that there’s no difference. So, this is the big test now. This is the mini driver. It should be with a proper driver, but my driving is that bad at the minute, it wouldn’t even be a test cuz it’ be going everywhere. Where was Mini driver I’m a little bit more confident with. So, I’m going to hit a number of shots again with each golf ball, same order. This might be the biggest revelation of my 20 odd years of playing golf that the cheaper, tightest golf ball could be potentially the best golf ball on the planet and it’s been under my nose all this time. Let’s find out. Okay. So, as I said, I know it’s a bit controversial. It looks a bit weird. Mini driver off the floor, but it’s it just works for me at the minute. So, it’s what I’m doing. It’s kind of what I do on most TE’s. So, let’s see how it performs the Pro V1. And it was nuked. That’s why I do it. I know it’s weird. People might hate it, but it gets me somewhat down the fairway. It’s a great first shot. That was a nice shot. Hopefully that’s a quite a decent batch. There’s two kind of good ones. One right, one left. And that’s what I do see. If I can hit this well, even off the floor, that’s gone out to 294 total distance. So, that’s promising. Okay, so that was a decent first batch of Pro View ones. What I want to do now, honestly, try and concentrate and hit some good shots these last few. I want to do this as fair test I possibly can. So, we’re going to hit the True Field, then the Mizuno, then the Bridgestone, and we’ll look at this data and see which ball comes out on top. [Music] Okay, so that’s been a really interesting test for me today. Like really, I’ve I’ve played the Proby one for so long. It’s just a go-to golf ball. Never give these other balls a chance. And this has proved to me today, maybe you watching at home, that you should. Overall, they’ve all been good golf balls. And with that test, my last test with Mini Driver, again, more interesting results. The Bridgestone performed really nicely. And again, no wonder so many of you guys watching recommend the Bridgestone. It was carrying at 266, which is the longest, going out to 286. So, the Bridgestone won on that test, if you like, on the distance with the driver. What was then really interesting, the Mazuno, the Tactus True Field and the Prov1 were all essentially exactly the same in terms of carry distance and total distance. However, were the Pro V1 really start show its teeth if you like, its ball speed was the best. So, I averaged 159 ball speed with the Pro V1 versus 155 with the True Field and 158 with the Mizuno RB Tour. I’m not too surprised. Those softer golf balls like a True Field don’t always get the same ball speeds. I notice that more with longer clubs or faster club head speeds. So, silly example, but I’m sure if Rory or a player like that or Scottish Sheffller was using a Prov1 and then a True Field, they’d see a bigger discrepancy than maybe I would see or you guys watching. But overall, the True Feel there has really impressed me. Had low spin, high launch, good distance. Overall, very impressive golf ball. They all were impressive golf balls. The prov should be it cost £50 a dozen. I know I keep repeating that but I had to emphasize that point. £50 a dozen and people like me lose them willy-nilly left, right, and center literally. However, true feel for maybe winter golf or for those of you who don’t want to spend a fortune or you know, I don’t know, you don’t want to spend £50 and lose your golf balls. What an amazing golf ball that was. And third play to Mizuno. Never tried your golf ball before. Strong Bridgestone as expected. Very good.
