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.

didn't they just fucking release paradym smoke ai? like last year or am i spacing out. too many in such a short span. no improvement just a different look
a lot of negative comments on this driver. a lot of people saying its an expensive Epic driver – completely agree. somebody has also reviewed an old video from 5 years ago when you tested the new Callaway driver range. if anything the figures then were slightly better. nothing new here except that they don't look good.
It seems Callaway have designed this so bad as in their sub conscious minds they know these drivers should be on 2 year cycles so this will stop anyone buying who bought last years.
And welcome…….the exact same driver for the last 5 years!!!!! Marketing tosh. Spend it on lessons!!
I understand why they called it Elyte, but it’s one of if not the worst names of a driver I’ve come across. Flat no from me based on the name alone.
Loss the green and replace it with the original paradym dark blue or AI smoke blue it would look so much better
"Under the cover we see again some familiar features"! Yet everything has changed???
If @bobsoessports hit this straight and long 5 times in a row, I’ll be upgrading.
looks sick
Why don’t you ever review pxg?
Fantastic driver , I ll stick to the 🏋🚴💪
Hi Rick! I have been watching your videos for years but I don't think you have tried Eleven Golf's hybrids. If not, can you do so so I can get your opinion?
They spelt elite wrong
excellent review as always from Rick 👍
None of these reviewers must be allowed to mention the cheap Callaway Edge from a few years ago, these look more like that then the epic and epic flash.
For the price of one driver you could buy my full bag of clubs
You were ripping that triple diamond
Wow as yet undiscovered technology, they are so good to us .
Hi Rick – As youre testing lots of new driver launches at the moment itd be interesting to see the numbers compared to each other ie have Titleist, Cobra, Callaway etc lited top to bottom based on test date
10x AI face tech, more R&D spend than ever before!!… +0.3 yards in a simulator 😢
This has to be the new costco sub $250 models right? RIGHT?
I have an epic flash sub zero from 2019. I dont think anything goes further or straighter. I tried the gt2 and gt3 which look and feel lovely, but the performance was no better.
Hoping one day that a new competitor will enter the market for more affordable golf drivers.
You guys always kill it and love the videos!! Thank you!
The drivers are a downgrade from the AI smoke
Hey Rick. Great review. Pxg came out with two new balls. Could you review them I know you didn’t care for the original extreme ball. Thank you
Not the best looking driver they have had
Oh, great now I know Paradym Ai Smoke will finally be affordable.
Won't be changing to anything new until my Stealth Plus broke in half or its sweetspot broken.
Think I’m done with the marketing BS. Understand that they have to say something about their product but it feels like the same old guff dressed up in slightly different adjectives.
I play a Callaway Rogue ST with a Graphite Design shaft. Got it fitted 3 years ago and it works a treat. Went into the fit with no brand expectations and the set up and feel of the ST worked better than the others I tried. When it comes time to change, will do the same again.
Would love to see how these compare to the last 5 drivers from Callaway. I'm guessing maybe very marginal improvement in forgiveness but probably spot on the same performance overall.
So what we've established is they all go the same distance 😂
Tbh, it looks cheapish. I don't care whether or not it's supposed to give me 3,2 meters more. It's supposed to give me joy hitting it. And I just don't see that there. Sorry. I just bought the Qi10 max in 9° for 499 € flat out and the looks and the feel of it is exhilerating, I find my distances where I'm used to them and my dispersion has shrunk considerably (mike drop).
Rick: "Terrible, 290 carry." Ummmmmmm I would kill for that.
Looks as if they all have a draw bias…?
We don’t need new drivers every year at ever escalating prices.
Trying to hear the sound of the club and the stupid music starts up right before impact 😂 probably on purpose! 😂
@H.I.T. GOLF can you try adding weights to multiple weight ports at a time to see what happens?
Really ugly tbh
I won’t buy it based on retwrded marketing name alone
Rick is a golf industry salesman. Its never going to be a negative review! I am not knocking him, he has a great personality, however, let's all get real here!
Put the same shaft in last years and this years comparable model and do a "REAL" test RIck
Its amazing that the club shaft ( which is the most important aspect of any club ) is never mentioned or used with previous years models, to do a true comparison test. Oh wait, this is a sales video, my bad
"Would it give you 7 yds more, possibly" Yup, sales video
Not missing a fairway in the world!! You should bag that X model and let golf be easier so you wont get so down on your self when you play a round.
AI smoke averaged 284 for Rick. 1 yard better for last year
Hi Rick. The price does not reflect the price of what normal people can afford. We cannot go backwards towards an elitist sport. As someone who has a large following, you can see that the price is far too high.
Worst looking Callaway driver since the FT-I. Performance might be decent, but could never buy one.
i want a driver that won't break. without exaggeration, i have broken a taylormade head every year since the SIM 2 within 3 months of having it.
