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.

@@upgrayedd9732 I mean Fowler is clearly struggling regardless of the clubs he use ... but a ton of tour pros still use blades (including the most recent holder of the green jacket), and I assume they're doing so for a reason. But blades are a spectrum-not every blade will be like the Rev33s, and every pro wants to balance feel and workability.

Beginners or youngsters seem to have a built in fear of the club flying out of their hands when hitting a shot and so grip the club so tight that anything not out of the sweet spot shoots right up to the hands. To measure how tight you should grip the club, imagine you are taking a swing while holding a tube of toothpaste with the cap off and not squeezing any out.

I use 30-year old Accuform bladed irons. They are tiny and they remain the best golf clubs I have ever used to hit a ball. After all these years you can still feel the quote knife going through butter softness. It feels like the ball melts into the club face before reaching it's target. These clubs are absolutely astounding, and it's a shame they are no longer around. I can't remember who, but a prominent tour player swears to this day that Accuform irons were the best clubs he ever used. p.s. Obviously you need to know how to swing a club, but if you do, try to get your hands on Accuform irons. I would love to get your feedback.

Now that I'm a Sexy SENIOR Citizen, I use a complete set of Adams Golf Irons and Metal Woods (VERY Underrated Clubs IMHO), and a Wooden/Brass (Well Balanced), Louisville Slugger Putter. No longer a 7 Handicap due to age and a Bad Back and Knees (PLUS, I still play from the white Tee's), BUUUUUT, I can still play Bogie Golf most days, and I'll take that ANY DAY!!!

I've always wondered about that....your idea of using a tiny, zero forgiveness blade set just for practice. It sounds like a great idea! When I was a young Junior Golfer in the 90's, I used an old set of Faultless Lee Trevino blades until I was 16 and had saved up enough money to get Ping Eye II's. I really believe my ball striking was much better back then, with the old blades. I do know that it was around that time that my improving seemed to slow down and then at age 18 it stopped. I'm not certain if the switch from demanding blades, to perimeter weighted offset clubs was the culprit, but I've always wondered???

@@PongGod Well there have been test made by other YT-golf pros about how much the drop-off is between misshits of chunky game improvement irons and blades. And the biggest differens is a hotter face, thus meaning that generally game-improvement irons create a faster ball speed. Missing the sweedspot yields about the same loff of energy about 10%... So you really don't miss a lot of distance compared to a perfect hit. I know a lot of people who believes the nonsense that you need to be some kind of pro to play them... Even pros believe it... Kevin Na for instance. Which is absurd. Howerver, there is a huge difference between modern blades and blades made before 1990... there you loose alot of ball speed even from center hits. But a modern 2021 blade iron is easy! Go try one!

@Maj0rFloater 3 жыл бұрын
I have been playing blades for 12 years and even though my handicap (8ish, high 70s low 80s guy) would suggest I am punching up with blades, I love what they offer. They force me to focus on ball striking and you could even make the argument that I might end up saving a stroke or two a round if I played mids, but I just love the feel and the look. I will play them until my swing speeds stop allowing me to.
@dylanharrington744 3 жыл бұрын
When you have played with Blades, most other clubs don't come close on feel. There's nothing that gives you better feedback than a poorly hit bladed 3 iron on a freezing cold Day.
@Williamdzi 3 жыл бұрын
I have a Mizuno 4i blade and the cobra utility 4i - I'm more confident with the Mizuno. I know when I've hit a bad shot right away with the blade; whereas, with the utility I have no idea until the ball lands if I hit it the way I wanted. Also, a great shot that feels bad isn't a great shot!

Same my old man bought me a set of blades when I was young they were my first full size set and I still own them to this day ive added an old super thin mizuno 1 iron for off the tee if I'm into wind and I've never had a problem hitting them or looked down at them and been scared of mis hits if I get hold of a cavity back they look massive and fill me with no confidence so for me its the opposite.

My uncle was RF's middle school golf coach- not necessarily a swing coach, but in that he ran and organized the team. I can't believe how good this kid has always been. I once asked Uncle T how you coach a kid like him. He said "You give him his tee time, and stay the heck out of his way." Beautiful golf clubs.

Wow what a beautiful iron. Playing with blades gives you a feeling of accomplishment especially when you hit one on the sweet spot. Looking at a blade down the shaft is a feeling you get when you are holding a hot knife and you know that you will get through that butter no matter what. The back spin and the feel you get demands a near perfect swing. Ofcourse when you have a set in your bag your playing partners don't even think of offering you any unsolicited advice!!!!!! I have played a few in my time. Mizuno, Cleveland, Muira (borrowed), Nike combos. Always saw a remarkable improvement in my game.
