Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This KZfaq 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 have the irons previous to these, and they are excellent for mid handicap golfers. They are showing good longevity. The after care from Caley is excellent. And previously you could return them, Ryan said use the seven iron only to test and return them all if not suited. Don't know if that still the case. These irons are fairly priced, high quality and recommended.

These companies most likely aren't doing their own R&D. A number of DTC brands get their club heads from Deson Golf. That's probably why these look almost identical (other than the logos) to the Sub 70 699s and the Takomo 101s.

I have Mizuno JPX 923 Tours that I just bought in May and I adore. Expensive set to be sure. The data from these irons is impressive for their price and I'm glad to see that. I don't feel robbed at all having spent nearly 3x the price on my Mizunos but I feel iron prices have just gotten criminal. You even mention it, 20 years ago they were priced around this. Now, I'd understand $800-900 for premium irons and MAYBE $1000 for sets that are 4i-GW but 1400 is just outrageous. Happy to see these direct to consumer brands making real strides in quality while staying cost competitive. Hope it can really humble some of the kings of golf equipment. If only we could get a golf ball that rivals pro v1s for a solid price. For me, I game Bridgestone B RX but still feel like Pro V1s are the absolute best golf ball around. In particular off the face of a blade putter they just give so much feedback and inspire so much confidence that I legitimately save strokes in my putting game with them.

I'm so happy to see that there are options for game improvement irons and even players irons that don't cost $1300 for a set.

yea he did a video a month ago with 790s so he has them in studio! Looks like the TMs have more ball speed comparing similar shots in the two videos 7i vs7i. A few mph faster. The launch and spin are about equal, so it looks like the TMs probably have slightly more speed and with that some forgiveness probably within to achieve that speed. timestamp from the other video 9:30 (have to look at the screen) (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8-Eo5NjsL3ZYmw.html) timestamp in this video 8:15 Good stuff Rick!

I think with irons it’s all about what you prefer, when I used to play a lot I played the titleist 714 mbs and they were amazing, for a blade they were forgiving, went miles, could hit all kinds of shots with them, now after not playing for a few years, I started playing a little after lockdown and got given a set of the taylormade p790s, I truly find they are nowhere near as good, the feel and looks are nowhere near what I expected, if I was to play more no way would I keep them in the bag, the only club I find amazing is the 2 iron, for me I don’t feel irons have come a long way in the last 10 years tbh, so maybe the cheaper irons have caught up and its worth saving the money for a decent driver, the driver is the second most important club in the bag now (putter always first) the big brands are untouchable with the big stick

Nice review. Because of their huge R&D budget, clubs from the big brands will almost always perform better than smaller DTC brands. The real question is how big the difference is and if it is worth the ridiculous price difference. It's at least worth testing them out. I have been playing a set of New Level Golf irons for a couple years now and for my game I don't think they perform much different than the big brand irons I tested.

@MisaelValdez24 7 ай бұрын

I agree with you! His numbers were super consistent with that 7 iron. I have a set of PXG GEN3 0311XP. I absolutely love them, and they are extremely forgiving. But I do catch some flyers that just jump off the face and go 10-15 yards further than I want them too. For example, today I had a 194 yard par three. There was about a 6 mph wind behind me so I grabbed my 7 iron, which is at 30° loft that I typically carry 178 average yards. I landed about a yard before the pin, and bounced off the green for a total of 213 yards. That’s the only thing I dislike about these game improvement irons. I’m looking to get into a more player style iron where my numbers will stay consistent. But these iron prices are just getting out of hand.

Unfortunately guys like Rick or any of the other KZfaq golf personalities won't likely ever be reviewing Maltby clubs. I had a chat with Britt Lindsey at Maltby and because they won't participate in giving out free sets for reviews like all of these DTC brands that we're seeing, AND no KZfaq reviewer will likely ever come out of pocket to buy a set of Maltbys, this is a dead discussion. It's really unfortunate because Maltby are 100% original designs. Craftsmanship, and quality are far greater than any of these other generic looking DTC models, and they actually have decades of design pedigree and history. Unbeknownst to Rick, a set of TS4's could be his next gamers but he'd never know because they'll never cross his path. 😢

But have gamed the TS1/TS1-IM. Put them up against comparable clubs and they are every bit as good, with zero compromise. They're actually better than a lot of the stuff I've hit from Callaway and TM. I think the only irons that felt better were the Mizuno 223/225. Hoping Rick will see this comment though and shell out a couple hundred bucks for a nice sampling of the Maltby irons. He is one of the most unbiased and genuine reviewers out there.

Apparently Costco released Kirkland irons. Would love to see Rick review them!

You’re right about Old Tom, great to see graphite shafts on their website now. Do they ship to EU?

I think that if Rick is really serious that his current golf bag is an open book like he mentioned in his podcast, then he would place a DTC set of irons in the bag and prove that the OEMs are in trouble. Sub 70, New Level, Tokomo all make really good clubs as well and are very affordable for the rest of us. We can no longer afford $2k for a set of clubs!

And even Costco throwing their hat in the ring with their Kirkland Irons that are apparently coming up in November. They look super similar to these and the Takomo irons so really expecting similar performance for even cheaper.

I’ve noticed that more and more golfers are looking at DTC clubs and the second hand market because the bigger name brands are becoming way too expensive.

I always buy the previous year clubs save hundreds and still getting big brand premium product, that are quite honestly not any different than the brand new ones.
