Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel! This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!

I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!

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!

I’m excited and intrigued about this one
on the channel so far you’ve seen me
test loads of golf equipment from Costco
Kirkland Signature to be precise golf
balls Putters wedges they’ve now brought
out a driver if I’m not mistaken I think
they’ve got some irons either coming out
or already out which we’ll definitely
review very soon we’re in the hit Studio
here today be sure you subscribe to the
hit Channel if you love equipment
reviews we are posting on the channel
twice every single week now the first
time I heard Costco was bringing out a
driver I was intrigued I really was now
it’s taken a while for those drivers to
come over to hear the UK but as soon as
they hit stores I went out and bought it
for
£190 this driver in this box from
effectively a wholesaler a chain of
stores that are all dotted around the
country you can pick up a driver like
this as you can now the putters the
wedges the golf balls uh I’m intrigued I
mean it comes in a very
quite small box I feel like for a driver
on here there’s bit of Spiel you’ve got
a picture of the golf club which on
first impressions of the picture looks
pretty good and they’ve got high
performance adjustable driver this is
right-handed thankfully for me it does
come in left-handed as well um features
titanium alloy face insert for high ball
speed across the face adjustable Loft
range from 9 and 1/2 de all the way up
to 112° with even a draw setting that’s
crazy Even Flow Rip Tide graphite shaft
lamping crossline 360 grip anything
about all this Spiel they don’t have to
do that on a driver that only costs
£190 Kirkland Signature obviously want
to make good equipment and so far I’ve
been impressed with everything I’ve
reviewed from Kirkland Signature but now
it’s the driver you can you can fudge to
some degree of putter you can get away
with a Kirkland Signature wedge the golf
are impressive to be fair but the driver
you cannot you cannot make an
underperforming driver so here in the
hit studio today I’m going to get on GC
quad hit some Prov v1s with it and see
how it performs first off the unboxing
experience I mean all this is it’s all
saying the right things high performance
driver you’ve then got it in what I can
only presume is French you’ve then got
it in what I can only presume is another
language
which I don’t know of um in here you’ve
got Kirkland Signature and you’ve got
the driver securely fastened via these
foam
bricks I missed you by these foam bricks
it’s even got cellophan wrapper on it we
see here already the first glimpse of
the shaft it’s an even flow Rip Tide
again driver shaft that’s been used in
topend drivers a Lampkin 360 grip like
good good quality products like this
again it could be a brand a shaft you’ve
never heard of it could be a a Kirkland
Signature own made grit but it’s not
it’s good
quality and even the head cover that’s a
good looking head cover I mean I love
the colors myself I’m a big fan of the
red white and black anyway but that’s a
good quality head cover first
Glimpse oh
it’s nice looking how have they done
this how have they made is it just the
mass Market is the fact they’re making
so many of them this is a 10 and 1/2
degree head I’m going to crank it down a
little bit to 9 and a half which I can
do in a minute that is a good looking
driver if you stripped Kirkland
Signature off that for a minute and put
tailor made on it put tight list on it
put ping on it and charge this at £500 I
actually think people would buy it a
little bit of grip ASMR here for
you does it do it in one does it do it
in
one this isn’t my first
rodeo
a so far listen it is ticking every
single box good looking driver great
presentation in the Box to be fair it’s
saying all the right things it’s got all
the right components to it
but can it perform on the GC quad on the
launch monitor will it give me the
distance I expect to see from a high
quality driver will it sound good will
it feel good all things we need to test
right now the first thing I’m going to
do is change the Loft cuz not 10 and a
half degrees for me is a little bit too
much loft so I’m going to again I mean
it doesn’t come with a wrench something
to note doesn’t come with a wrench
sure you know what I’m wrong and I’m and
I’m happy to admit when I’m wrong there
is actually a wrench in the Box I didn’t
think there was even that a Kirkland
Signature
wrench these guys don’t miss they do not
miss right I’ve got to admit behind the
golf ball it looks like a premium driver
like it in fact it really kind of
reminds me of a Callaway driver there
was rumors that it’s Callaway that’s
making all of these products for him
from the wedges to the putter to the
driver so you never but it for me for my
eye it does look very much like a caway
it’s got this kind of composite carbon
Crown I it’s it’s a wonderful wonderful
finish there’s not a blemish on it you
don’t for a driver that’s
£190 you’d expect at this point there to
be something wrong I don’t know why
might be the wrong mindset but when you
look at now driers at
44500 this is half the price and so far
it’s offered so much just on looks an
actual kind of Premium finish underneath
aga’s almost like a tight list right
let’s hit some shots now a driver for me
would normally carry about over 280
yards um looking at 160 ball speed about
112 mph Club head speed let’s see how
the Kirkland Signature Costco driver
performs so far it’s impressed me in
every category but if it’s not
performing if it’s not getting the
distance if it doesn’t sound good feel
good or it’s forgiving all of that goes
out of the window it’s got to perform on
the
numbers let’s see how it
does you are kidding
me
wow that was pretty impressive listen
that’s the first shot straight out of
the box quite literally
let’s h a few more let’s h a few more
I’m not I’m not judging it on just one
shot we need to get a batch of these
shots but that was pretty good for the
first one straight out the
box very nice very nice
indeed I am impressed
I am
impressed three shots down and three
good solid hits not record record
breaking I’ll come on to that in a
minute but three very very solid golf
shots four very very solid goal
shots wow that’s a big one
that is a big one it feels really really
good why can’t all driver manufacturers
make a driver of this price okay I’m
just going to hit a handful more shots
and we’ve got to dive through the data
and on the hit Channel I’m also going to
do a head-to-head with this driver
against
um not sure yet we’ll we’ll
see that’s an interesting one that was a
bad strike really
Healy okay it’s a bit of a drop off in
performance but that was a really bad
strike still found the Fairway
[Music]
though first off I’m impressed with this
golf club I am we’re going to dive
through the data in a minute which I
think we’ll maybe see its weakness
however looks feel sound unboxing
experience price ranks really highly for
me I thought honestly I felt like the
feel and the sound of this driver is as
good as as any driver I’ve tested this
year very very solid coming to the
numbers I hit some really really nice
drives I did my normal car distance cly
at the moment it’s about 280 yard if not
a tiny bit
more this driver didn’t quite reach up
to that not bad however and again
depends how you want to judge this for
me that was carrying 272 yards I would
say right now about 10 yard shorter than
average I normally drive it bear it in
mind you can’t get fit for this driver
bear in mind this is just a stiff shaft
you can’t get I can’t get extra stiff in
this driver bearing in mind that this is
a driver you can buy off the shelf in
Costco stores I think that’s pretty
solid and actually I’m going to compare
this on the hit channel so be sure to
subscribe to the hit Channel as I
mentioned before it’s back up and
running two videos every single week if
you are an equipment junking you want to
see more equipment reviews do check out
the hit Channel I’m going to test this
head-to-head against the tailor made qi1
the standard version then we’ll see what
the numbers look like cuz for me I just
wasn’t getting the ball speed 155 mph
ball speed is just a little bit low what
I normally see spin rates averaging
2,500 couple of things I thought the
Forgiveness level was solid like you saw
that one that I hit really from the heel
that went 252 carry I actually took that
out of these numbers cuz I think that
was think that was fair to include that
shot but it showed it would have still
found the Fairway and it was a decent
hit I’m impressed for me if you are new
to golf and you want to pick up a driver
that looks this good sounds good feels
good for and I mean let more than half
the price of the more premium Drive is
out now this is a great shout as soon as
I get a hold of the irons I’ll be
reviewing them as well and then I think
it’s definitely a case of putting all
the Costco equipment in a bag and going
do the break 75 somewhere guys thanks
for watching be sure to subscribe to
this channel which is the main Channel
also the hit Channel don’t miss out on
any content coming soon and that was my
in-depth review of the brand new
Kirkland Signature driver I say brand
new the only Kirkland Signature driver

  1. The balls are decent but you have to go through and test them all to make sure they aren’t duds. 2/12 at least have been measurably off in each dozen I’ve bought. High performance for the price but low quality considering the consistency

  2. Rick, I've watched plenty of your break 75's and other course vlogs and you don't hit your driver that far IRL. Those simulator numbers are misleading.

  3. What I find funny is. Rick could break 75 and hit every fairway with that Driver and the other Kirkland clubs. And still wouldn't put them in them bag 😂😂😂. Why are all the big youtubers like that. If it works, it works man.
    I'm prob just salty cuz all I can afford is a box set of Top Flite clubs 😢😢

  4. Considering most people buying this club are looking for something in the 200-300 usd range, you should also compare it to some older drivers like the sim 2 or the cobra king which you can buy used in that price range. This would probably help a lot of new golfers decide if a new Kirkland is worth more than a used big brand driver.

  5. It’s a product using its cheap price to attract people to promote…..it just like other premium drivers which are produced by the same Asian manufacture but without advertisement cost. Costco has really big Sales Channel so they can purchase in big amount of quantity to lower the cost.

    I’m already using their wedge set which is wonderful, I’ll for sure try their driver so I can make my golf buddies who with premium driver feel really bad when I out drive them…

  6. I think the other top brands are just taking advantage of us. And it seems like we are willing to pay for them.

  7. I wonder how much of the price is down to mass production or the big boys knowing they can get away with charging a “premium”. I tend to think it’s a bit of both but Kirkland has proven they can produce quality clubs at an affordable price. I haven’t yet finished the video but I’ve got high hopes.

  8. Hey Rick just to note if you don’t like the shaft you can fit a Mizuno shaft from their drivers into it! Tip from James Robbinson’s reviews! Maybe worth a go to see the difference 🤷‍♂️👍 keep up the good work buddy

  9. Didn’t they come out with the Kirkland irons, sold out instantly, then got sued by Taylor Made because they are 790 copies?

  10. ENJOY SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS BUT WHY THIS VIDEO??YOU BOUGHT A NEW CLUB LIKE ANYONE ELSE?? CLUBS ARE A PREFERENCE FOR GOLFERS 🏌️‍♂️ SO THEY CAN DECIDE WHATS BEST FIR THEM. PLAY AGAINST TIGER / DALY FOR 18 HOLES WOULD BE A EPIC VIDEO👍😉

  11. "why can't all driver manufacturers make a driver at this price"… They can… No one would buy the expensive ones when they don't go any further.

  12. 3:263:42

    How have they (Kirkland) done this? It very simple actually. It’s called KEEPING THE PRICE OF THE DRIVER REAL! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in a good shop is insanely overpriced! They overprice their drivers, and everything else, by 60-70%. Costco has been known for decades to sell products at what they really should sell at.

  13. When a $375 billion dollar company decides to offer products that say a $25 million dollar ping company offers. Yeah they can get top shelf materials for a fraction. As long as r&d isn’t overlooked it’s a win for the consumer

  14. I bet all the top of the line clubs cost twice as much only because there is a word stamped on it that says "Titlest" or "Taylormade"

  15. Just goes to show what the cost of a quality club really is when not given away to thousands of pros, YouTubers, personalities etc

  16. Could it be that major manufacturers clubs (especially drivers) are sold at 200% margin?
    That's it!!!
    Come on Rick…

  17. i got one and found it quite forgiving, but not as long as my stealth 2. maybe a better shaft would help

  18. Gone from instock to sold out.

    Costco dont have to pay a penny advertising. All the money TM etc pump into advertising is 50% of the price

  19. Something I am learning the more I golf. Golf is very challenging, but it's 90% the person and 10% the equipment. 🤘😎

  20. Another 'behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz' moment for the golf manufacturing industry scam. We have been getting ripped off with the pricing of golf equipment for years. Good on Kirkland/Costco

  21. $400 or $500 drivers should exhibit an incredulous response. If the manufacturers didn't have to pay the pro golfers so much for sponsorships their clubs would be what the Kirkland driver cost.

  22. I know the big brands have to pay mega money to their star players to use their clubs and equipment, so have to hump we the consumers with high prices, on the flip side, does it show the true value of premium equipment, when you can lose 5/10yards and get almost as good for half the price
