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.

Surprised the Takomos weren't in here
Great video. Have you done a similar video for high handicap golfers?
What about the dynapower forged!? Rick!!!
Where’s PXG?
Weird Mizuno pick, I expected the p790 equivalent, Mizuno pro 245
As a 16 handicapper I have tried the Ping , Calloway , Taylor Made and Mizuno. The Pings were the only clubs that could match my game improvement irons for distance, which is key for me . I think they have made a Game Improvement Iron that looks and feels like a players distance iron which might justify the cost ?
I’d like to see a head to head matchup with the Kirkland signature irons versus the Takomo irons. Since they are two of the lower priced sets out there.
Not certain that I would call these best for mid handicappers. I play to a 16 and would view most of these for people who play to a 7 – 10.
No mizuno pro 245? Beats all the ones you tested.
I like your reviews but it has to be said this was poor. It was so subjective as to be meaningless. For example looks from what I could discern was your personal opinion. I thought the Apex was far more cluttered than any others and definitely chunky behind the ball. The point being it is not a reliable measure, ditto feel. The only non subjective items were distance, dispersion and price. Could you weight the scoring giving double points for distance and dispersion in future or rename the video.
Like a lot of other on here I would have liked to seen the Takomo’s in this test.
I recently got fitted into i530's, can't wait until they show!
Love it! Great review. Happy to be Ping-ing 😜
Really surprised the titleist T200 are not on there
Brilliant video that Rick need some new irons that's helped me out a lot 😅 thanks.⛳️
Are the Dynapower Forged not considered mid-handicap irons?
I don’t know why Rick pretended to be surprised at his disappointment in the P790. He absolutely slated it, when he tested it so why would he think it was different now? 😂
I game JPX 923 HM. In my opinion, the 923 look far better than the 925.
All golfers should be hitting blades or players irons. There is literally no need to be hitting these shovels nowadays. Elite Performance Golf did a test and there is no forgiveness difference between any type of modern iron.
Would be good if you had a mid handicap golfer with a mid handicap swing to test these
I’m a mid handicap and wouldn’t hit all them irons as good as you do Ricky boy
Question for everyone.
Im new to the handicap in golf. What range would be considered low, mid, and high? I have my handicap on an app from where i have played 50 rounds over 12 courses. Just curious to where i stand in all of that. Any insight is appreciated
Could you test the Seed golf balls? I've heard they are as good as Vice or Pro V1s
What happened to Vice???
Jfc, the Takomo cult is out in full force. Its just another Chinese mold company. You can't even get the most popular shaft of all time, Dynamic Gold. 101 are 790 copy. 201 is a i210 copy. Caley has the same clubs as Takomo. 01, 01T, microslot cb, logo in the toe 😂.
Maltby at least has proprietary designs, not mold copies.
Not having the 245s in there is just beyond comprehension for me but we get it you don’t really like Mizuno
No Wilson Dynapwr forged??
Titleist T200 not included 🤔 Also Mizuno 245 not a better club to be used from them for the comparison? Takomo again a cheaper brand and arguably a better feeling club than Kirkland.
What about Takomo irons 🤨
Shot accuracy – seems like the archer rather than the arrow type of measurement.
ZX5/ZX7 should been in the mix!
How have you missed out Titleist, Strixon, PXG, Wilson & Takomo?
I don't understand why you've never tested Srixon irons. They are insanely good. ZX5s should be top 3 on this list
So, have all of these been fitted to you? Because if they're not, then it's hardly fair to judge them for accuracy if they're not your fit…
Looks are irrelevant! The endless fascination with looks on this channel baffles me. Yet Tailormade that was only 60% accurate scored third? What a joke!
I really dislike the cut out on the Ping clubs. Enough for me to not be interested in them 😶
All power bats, I hate that clubs get pigeon holed into handicaps. Just play what suits you best by getting fit.
You didn’t include Takomo 101?
Hollow bodied irons feel horrific 🤮
