I have a 1000cc driver. It's called the Goldsmith 1k. It's probably the hardest thing in the world to hit straight tho. I pretty much just use it to lean on at the first tee box so everyone freaks out
So, without DRAGONFLY tech, without Boeing air tech, without speed foam, without any aerodynamic help, you still swing the same speed Don't tell me Ping, Callaway and Tmag have been lying to us???!?!!!?!!
I have no idea how I started watching your videos... I woke up one day after drinking heavily and you were on and now I really like watching. I was never a big golf watching fan but your videos are very informative and fun to watch, it makes me want to play more golf and learn about the proper way to swing a club and have even more fun doing it so thank you very much and keep up the good work.
Rick, you and Pete should find illegal clubs (driver, irons, wedges and putter) and do a head to head. That would be an interesting course vlog. As always, great content. Keep up the outstanding work.
Wow...that's a crazy big driver. I'm actually relieved that the numbers showed no advantage to the bigger size. 460 seems plenty big enough. Keep up the good work, Rick.
I bought this driver a few years ago. The first thing I thought of was how loud it was going to be, and she didn't disappoint. I took it to the range the first day and about 10 people were there. The first shot was like a metallic explosion compared to any driver. Every golfer at the range looked my way. It's like being at the gun range and everyone is shooting 9 mils and .40 cals and you bust out the Dirty Harry .44 magnum, shoot one round and everyone bends backwards to see who is firing what hand cannon. It's great fun. I also put it on the FlightScope with my instructor and we couldn't get numbers worth a damn. You have to hit that thing dead center to make it go straight, or get lucky with a gear effect on a toe hit. It now adorns the wall of the man cave as a conversation piece, because that's what it is.
dude! I know nothing about clubs, but i came here cuz i plucked that driver up and hit it at the range for the 1st time today... 1st hit went only 130 yards, but it sounded like i blasted it over the fences lmaooo. it makes even bad hits feel good
Rick that driver would be really hard to hit off the deck, but was it forgiving on off centered strikes. Additionally, Rick your video editing is amazing.
I want to see you compare older irons to newer irons while using a shaft that fits you. This way we can see the difference between the models and how much "better" the new ones claim to be. If you've already made a video on that topic let me know! Great vlogs!
There aren't many differences in irons from say, the late 90's compared to now. The rules won't allow it in case of giving one player an advantage over others. I personally have a set of Taylor Made blades from the 90's and I can't tell the difference between them and Taylor Made clubs from now. I hit them as sweetly, and around the same distances. I actually prefer the old ones as I seem to strike them better, or it feels better anyway! Seem to get much more spin too...
Rick did a video where he played a round with Ping Karsten I irons (3I to Wedge + putter). He said he was about 10 yards shorter on average and the clubs weren't as smooth through the grass. But he was getting good backspin and he seemed to really enjoy playing with them (then again, how bad can it be playing golf and making golf videos for a living). Here is a link to the video, in case you want to view it: ua-cam.com/video/2cQvqLtCPKE/v-deo.html I believe Rick said the irons were 5 years old (circa 1969 or so).
Got some titelist dtr there about 20 years old still the same grips, don’t really use them now but the wedge is gold, I have never hit another wedge as good as I hit this one, it’s in my bag to this day, the rest are Taylor made blades but I may invest in some titelist.
Rick, I think you need to run a little segment on nothing but odd clubs, top to bottom of the bag... probably nothing we want to play, but entertaining nonetheless! I saw this monster sand wedge at a sports secondhand store the other day, and it must have had a head twice the size of a normal wedge. It was stupid looking, yet, I really wanted to try it just for the heck of it!
Rick, congrats on the birth of your baby. A couple of questions, 1, why do companys make these when they are illegal, 2, what is the best drive you have done, 3, are you gonna let Finchy have a go to see if he can beat 350 yards. Great channel, always look forward to you and peter on you tube.
I feel like with the added size adding restrictions on your swing, I cant see a benefit and only a hindrance on your swing. Just my opinion, I'm no golf pro, but I did stay at a holiday inn Express 3 years ago.
But it makes me wonder, you hit it about the same distance you normally do, I wo der if this drive was tuned to you, and made by higher quality materials like by taylormade, titleist, or such if you would see an increase in performance.
Jonathan Grosheart disagree, there are weighted driver heads to help your driver swing, and they help a shit ton. You can’t miss, and the heavy head keeps everything smooth and not to quick.
Rick's reaction to this driver is basically the way we reacted to titanium drivers when they came out in the 90s. The original Great Big Bertha, the Taylormade Burner, and especially the Ping ISI Titanium. They looked cartoonish. And they weren't close to even 460cc.
Rick, I don't know if you will read this, but you make golf so much fun. I'm trying to pursue golf and I go through ups and downs. But you motivate me to keep going and enjoy what I do. Thank you, for your hard work.
yes imagine all the high tech in that size head. but i dont think it would bring in much money;) 500 dollar ish for an illegal driver? dont think so. but still love your idea;)
Rick your comments on the sound that thing made were pretty comical... I had a Nike Sumo back in the day, and that thing was like smashing the side of a dumpster every time! Ahhh, miss that thing. Cheers from America!
I've got one 😂 actually had a guy come and tap me on the shoulder all the way from the other side of the range just to say 'is that a sasquatch? Thought so' hahaha
Rick!!!! I’m not sure whether or not I should blame you or thank you on my recent P790 irons purchase. I know how the wife feels... but I stumbled on a show called Driver vs Driver and saw you on there! Congrats man! Keep doing what you’re doing, the hustle is real!
Would love to see a match up between callaway’s ‘illegal’ ERCII and their new epic flash, wondering if the so-called over the limit trampoline effect would still give the ERCII an advantage today
If you can find it, you absolutely need to try the "Swing Accelerator". It's what appears to be a mid-iron with some sort of granular material that moves up and down the club as you swing. I WISH I was creative enough to make this up.
A guy in my golf group ( usually around 12 or more guys every day ) uses a driver that is 590cc if I remember correctly and has used it for 5 or so years, we don't really care all that much. He does seem to hit the ball off the tee much better with it than anything else, but he is 75 years young and if he hits it straighter and a little longer than others, we don't care. The rest of us just hit standard stuff, so in some instances oversize equipment might help a person here or there / now and then. Great video post Rick, thanks.
Looking at that thing, you would think that the ball would go a yard for each CC. That things is ridiculous. Fun to watch a guy who can actually get some control out of it smash it though! I think you need to have a tournament on GC Quad with guests. Not only off the tee, but off the deck as well. Might not get too many good golf shots, but it would surely be entertaining.
Can you not you know, do this.... outside? And before anyone sits here going *TheSE SiMulAtoRS ARe VeRy AccUrate!* ok, but it would be much better to see it outside
Rick on the subject of odd drivers have you ever done any tests on heavy Vs light driver heads. Maybe at extreme ends of the scale. A playing partner of mine is adamant that the heavier the better. I did some calculations a while ago to prove that the relationship is heavily skewed towards speed being the far more important factor but didn't manage to put the debate to bed. Love the channel.
Anybody else notice how civilised the comments section is on Rick's videos? Also, the ratio of thumb up/down is ridiculously good (11000 v. 640). Good going Rick and us!
Hi Rick. I was talked into buying a new offset driver that now is in proshop for sale , it cost me £249 and I can not hit it but bought a £60 2nd hand driver that I can manipulate any way I choose like if its a fade I tee it up and let rip lovely fade. It accompanies me every round best thing I bought.
If you can get hold of any new ones I'd love to see a video like this on the Dunlop Rebel wedges (including the spin numbers). If you do that I'd recommend buying some cheap balls too as they'll get eaten by the grooves!
Could you imagine the noise on the golf course if everyone was using drivers that loud? Haha The practice range would sound like a constant artillery barrage going on all day. And so much for the "Quiet Please" signs at Tour events, when everyone on a golf course could hear it when anyone hit a driver off the tee at any hole from anywhere on the golf course lol. 😂
Thank you for doing this Rick! Ive been debating buying one of those trash cans for a year now just to see if it would actually go farther. You just saved me couple hundred bucks and some disappointment
Can imagine my playing partners face during the monthly medal when i whip that beast out on the first tee! Awesome lesson with you back in May and great to meet you. Be great to get back down for a follow up at some point. Enjoy the Ryder Cup!!
I had a 400cc Integra non conforming driver. There was a tree 300yards away in my driving range and I used to hit it on the fly. It was fun seeing the reaction from the other golfers. Caved the face in less then a year. Fun while it lasted.
It is big, and loud pass me the ear plugs ☺, it looks like the sort of club that use to be advertised in the back pages of some golfing magazines years ago, like the Force 1 Power Driver from National Golf Centre, they were aimed at the average golfer, offering massive improvements in their game, it might be interesting to see how a mid handicapper like Rob might hit it
You need to get out some and look at the golf technology out there. I used to make my own clubs and there has been 750cc heads out there for 20 years. And you cannot swing it like a normal driver, longer tee and move it forward in your stance and swing HARD! You are not going to miss the ball. I used to hit my 460cc driver 320-340 carry. The 750cc I could hit almost 400 yards. The COR is around .875 while a legal club has a COR .830. Should be equal to about 30-40 yards when swung hard. They have technology right now where if a touring pro hit it they would routinely drive it 400 yards plus. It would render some of our favorite courses obsolete if allowed. And the harder you swing the big club the straighter the ball flight.
I was just given one of these as a b-day present by my inlaws. this monstrosity makes me smile :D I'd love to see a side by side comparison with the pure one training driver
Greg gray i recommend going and getting fitted. They will get you the right legnth, flex and club offset. Then I suggest trying all brands to see witch feels best. Some places charge for a fitting but will wave the fee if you buy from them
Rick, can you do comment on if the sweet spot is bigger? More forgiving? Suitable for higher handicappers/ seniors? Maybe make a video having amateur golfers play with it? I hope to see why this club was made. There mist be a reason for this large head, obviously not geared towards pros.

Rick Shiels Golf don't know maybe
Shorter
Rick Shiels Golf Btw you Should have gotten a 1000cc head(yes they exist)
HUGE
I have a 1000cc driver. It's called the Goldsmith 1k. It's probably the hardest thing in the world to hit straight tho. I pretty much just use it to lean on at the first tee box so everyone freaks out
Haha wow! That is huge!!!!
Haha I actually worked with Golfsmith while we were developing this. Do you have the headcover as well?
Been trying to find that club for years!!
HOLY COW!!! LOL
You might as well just use a shovel. LMAO
So, without DRAGONFLY tech, without Boeing air tech, without speed foam, without any aerodynamic help, you still swing the same speed
Don't tell me Ping, Callaway and Tmag have been lying to us???!?!!!?!!
I'm sensing a series coming on here! a whole series of videos on weird clubs... like the as sold on tv sand wedges
THE TEELESS DRIVER NEXT!
HAMMER X!
geno mccourt teeless driver yes!!
Do it Rick, this is an amazing idea for a series.
Bring back the Orizaba Power Pod!
Flippin heck, at 4:16 Did you use your tee to reposition the camera?? Skills!
LOL
Incredible
I noticed this the first time round. Not until reading your comment did I actually realise what happened and how ridiculous it was. So sick!
It’s a camera man. That’s how he gets the two hand face to face intro’s and things

I don't even golf, but can't stop watching your videos. LOL.
James you should it’s fun
@@liamzamora9921 I was going to say the same thing it's fun.
Golf is a FUCKING FUN SPORT you should give it a go it's very underrated
-I don't even golf- I'm just about to start golfing. _fixed_
Be a lot cooler if you did..
Rick, you and Pete should find illegal clubs (driver, irons, wedges and putter) and do a head to head. That would be an interesting course vlog. As always, great content. Keep up the outstanding work.
I need this for putting.
Gerard Fynmore haha
Probably hit the ball every time on the greens
If ya manage to hole in one every par 3 or short par 4 with it than I suppose ya could call it a putter hahaha
Wow...that's a crazy big driver. I'm actually relieved that the numbers showed no advantage to the bigger size. 460 seems plenty big enough. Keep up the good work, Rick.
"you can't miss with this driver".....ummmm hold my beer

The size of it doesn't matter when you hit the middle of the face every time.
Jonathan Grosheart disagree, there are weighted driver heads to help your driver swing, and they help a shit ton. You can’t miss, and the heavy head keeps everything smooth and not to quick.
Love you peters Chanel can’t stop watching the vids keep up the good work lads
Where's the Happy Gilmore swing? Golden opportunity missed☹.

Could review the clubs “made for the amateur?” The GX7 driver, Teeless Driver, and Sqaure Strike Wedge?
If you're wondering what the tune playing in the background is, it's "Exotica" by Nicolas Boscovic.
Do a video on the Golfsmith 1000cc driver.
Great video. I agree this could be a fun series. All the goofy clubs and self help tools out there. Would be great watching on our end!
I remember when the 460 cc seemed absurdly large.
Have a great time Rick! Playing Bury Golf Club tomorrow. Please you and Pete do a Vlog there some time. All the best!
Have fun mate!
Let's see Jamie Sadlowski or another long drive champ use this monster!
Rick, I don't know if you will read this, but you make golf so much fun. I'm trying to pursue golf and I go through ups and downs. But you motivate me to keep going and enjoy what I do. Thank you, for your hard work.
I would like to see what Ping, Callaway etc would come up with if they had 750cc's to play with.
That would be very interesting!
yes imagine all the high tech in that size head. but i dont think it would bring in much money;) 500 dollar ish for an illegal driver? dont think so. but still love your idea;)
Wez cox. One inch high turbulators.
I reckon it would probably turn out much the same as this. Not really that much you can do in terms of shape for a driver head.
Would be very intriguing! More forgiving maybe? If only....;)
Reminds me of seeing the GBB for the first time back in the day. Now it looks small to what I play with now.
Remember when the big bertha came out first and everyone reacted the same as this? 😆
When I was learning golf in lessons the PGA pro had me briefly use one of these extra oversized type clubs when I first started trying to hit drivers
Rick your comments on the sound that thing made were pretty comical... I had a Nike Sumo back in the day, and that thing was like smashing the side of a dumpster every time! Ahhh, miss that thing. Cheers from America!

Only played golf a few times, this guy makes golf really interesting love the videos
Next video with that driver off the deck!
Thanks for review, glad it didn’t go 350 yards, my new club budget for 2018 is used up.
Started playing in 90s, 250cc was big. 460cc looks enormous to me.
@rickshielsgolf I'd love to see a comparison of your drives with your game day driver vs a long drive club (49 inch shaft, 4 degree loft etc)
So you're saying it's not the size but more about positions? 🤔
Heh, size doesn't hurt though.. unless you are 9inches :/
If you can find it, you absolutely need to try the "Swing Accelerator". It's what appears to be a mid-iron with some sort of granular material that moves up and down the club as you swing. I WISH I was creative enough to make this up.
You should hit the illegal distance golf balls with this see if that improves the balls distance lol :-)
We need to see this with the 50" XX Long shaft
It's criminal that that video hasn't been made yet
I really wish you would do illegal balls not on the simulator just sayin
Why
Jordan Collins he has done one on illegal golf balls .
Not on the sim?
@@jordancollins2553 no he hit them on the course against a pro he asked him to deliberately slice it cant be done when you line arrow with the target.
My coach actually has a 1000 cc. Its supposed to help with Tempo and swing speeds. I love it.
Goddamn Rick that thing is almost bigger than your forehead
Nothing’s bigger than rocks forehead
Great video Rick! Could you do a video comparing driving irons and woods??
Rick, can you try that club head with a 52" shaft? Please?
A guy in my golf group ( usually around 12 or more guys every day ) uses a driver that is 590cc if I remember correctly and has used it for 5 or so years, we don't really care all that much.

What about accuracy? And can I fit a shaft onto a Fiat 500 like you did?
It wasn’t too bad!!
Rick Shiels Golf What I didn't ask... Is it HEAVIER than a normal club? Can you feel where it is during the swing?
Looking at that thing, you would think that the ball would go a yard for each CC. That things is ridiculous. Fun to watch a guy who can actually get some control out of it smash it though! I think you need to have a tournament on GC Quad with guests. Not only off the tee, but off the deck as well. Might not get too many good golf shots, but it would surely be entertaining.
No one:
FBI: go on...
Enjoyed that rick,let's have some more of similar videos.
To me a 450 cc head looks ridiculous too.
Love your product videos. Please do a video comparing the GCquad against the skytrak
I remember when 400cc was ridiculous
Travis Shooks how about the original big bertha series. Ie biggest big bertha at 290cc
You should also try vaseline or chap stik on the face to cut spin and see what happens for distance since we're doing illegal stuff
Can you not you know, do this.... outside? And before anyone sits here going *TheSE SiMulAtoRS ARe VeRy AccUrate!* ok, but it would be much better to see it outside
LDH i was wondering the same thing. How does it do in the field.
Simulators always rob me of 30 to 50 yards depending club

u know you’ve made it when u use Pro Vs on the driving range...
Mike F. Does he tho ? On the video its just a simulation, im pretty sure the ball just hits tons of padding a few meters away.
Hi Rick. I was talked into buying a new offset driver that now is in proshop for sale , it cost me £249 and I can not hit it but bought a £60 2nd hand driver that I can manipulate any way I choose like if its a fade I tee it up and let rip lovely fade. It accompanies me every round best thing I bought.
Tthat sound frightened me lol
It was so loud!
Even tho I saw Rick swing and I knew where the sound was coming from, I still jumped under my desk it was so loud lol!
It is really disgusting, it is.
If you can get hold of any new ones I'd love to see a video like this on the Dunlop Rebel wedges (including the spin numbers).
If you do that I'd recommend buying some cheap balls too as they'll get eaten by the grooves!
this video: extremely stupid. extremely great.
Still better looking than a bombtech driver,,lol
Hi Rick, loving the videos as always! Any chance you could review the new krank driver at some point? Thanks
Come on man, hit the normal driver so we can see the difference.
Have you ever played Letham Grange, or Montrose, or Stonehaven golf courses in Scotland? I love those courses.
Anyone else thought it was going 500 yards ?
🙋🏻♂️

Nope. New it wouldn't. Physic's cannot be broken. Mass x Excelleration = Distance.
You spelled acceleration wrong lmao.... smarty pants

You and Pete should have a long drive comp witch that monster with the widest fairway GC Quad allows

This is funny seeing Rick so exited to hit an illegal club! Definitely would go shorter and who knows what direction for me!
Rick plays about with these crazy ideas, so we don't have to!
Fun video, little surprised at the results, but not really.
The editing of these videos is a meme in itself, and it just keeps getting better and better.
I wanna see you use it in a course vlog with Finchie. :)

Screw traditional Drivers, I attached a shaft to a nuclear submarine and use that at the tee.
A bit on the heavy side but I never miss the ball.

Greg gray i recommend going and getting fitted. They will get you the right legnth, flex and club offset. Then I suggest trying all brands to see witch feels best. Some places charge for a fitting but will wave the fee if you buy from them
Rick I would love to see DJ or Rory hit that club! Or even Cameron Champ or Brooks Koepka for that matter.
Jake McKeown how about long drive competitors (troy mullins)
Rick, can you do comment on if the sweet spot is bigger? More forgiving? Suitable for higher handicappers/ seniors?
Maybe make a video having amateur golfers play with it? I hope to see why this club was made. There mist be a reason for this large head, obviously not geared towards pros.
Watching all the way from Nashville TN ✌🏻 rick you are the reason I started golfing
That’s great to hear!
Hello Rick, you should try to compare slower swing speeds. I think the big one will perform better at lower speeds then smaller ones. maybe 80-90mph
Have you ever hit a Callaway ERCII Driver from years ago ??? Its an illegal club too but its a smaller head , deep face , I would say around 330cc
