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 can't help but think that because the Attomax went so much higher in the air, and still around the same distance as the ProV1, that the Attomax balls could gain an extra 20+ yards at a lower angle of flight.

@Whiter1 Жыл бұрын

Yea I reckon it would take a complete club refit to get it suited to the ball flight

Yes, this is true. If the Attomax were hit at a lower flight, they would be going further.

Two points: if the attomax goes so much higher, it could be that with a differently lofted driver they would go farther in average. Also, I saw there was quite a strong wind. If the attomax goes so high, it will spend more time in the air and higher up, the winds are typically even stronger. So with headwind and your current driver, they will take a double punch, while if you did the same test with wind from the back, they would profit from the situation. So, loved the video, but I am not 100% convinced that this concluded the story once-and-for-all :)

Uber amateur golfer (sub-talented enthusiast) and please excuse my ramble. This channel is by far my 'go to' and most enjoyable by far. Covers all aspects of the game, and I mean all aspects. There is not an episode that I don''t pick up something that I can/have applied. How to stop slicing, which irons, how to use the dam things, distance vs club - I can go on...Rick explains it in a way that the common wheel can understand and not in a 'pro-to-pro' way many other channels narrate. He is also humble and recognizes errors in his play and how he would rectify, again many other channels would never go near this OR even show the pro golfer making anything but a perfect shot. That my friends is why Rick is the best. 100% relatable.

@FlyRiverFly Жыл бұрын

@@scottelectronic I dont disagree but I have to assume that Rick had approximately the same swing speed and launch angle. That would imply the high arc was the design of the ball. Since this is a non-conforming ball (not sure of the actual reason(s)), the COR or whatever they are labeling the spring like effect of the ball may also be the non-conforming attribute which makes the test even more telling.

interesting video but there was strong wind you were hitting into. If the Attomax went double the height then it was susceptible to more of that wind for a longer time thereby affecting the distance at a greater impact than the ProV's. While it's always fun to watch your vids this is far from conclusive given the conditions.
