Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This UA-cam 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. - Спорт
Would love to see a head to head vs previous years of this club since there was a bit of difference apparently!
This is exactly what is needed
That is what I mentioned in another video.would love a golf channel to have the comparisons of what I see on computer component channels. I can base my next CPU versus cpus from 10 years ago because they show it each time they test new stuff.
I feel like improvement in golf clubs, particularly in irons, is too thin between years, to the point the variation in a golfer's performance is likely to gobble it 95% of the time. Comparing a club with its previous version may result in bad press, and therefore less sales. Also, numerous reviewers might run out of business if golfers realized that ... Just a thought.
I still think they should do such a comparison. Big brands should expect their claims to be thoroughly challenged when they present a new club, so we know they believe in it if they put it on the market.
Would you jump from 21 to 23 models? Probably not. Would one jump from 19 to 23? Well I wouldn’t as I play the 7MCs, but having hit the 790s they are really good but really weird at the same time with random “flyers” off fairways, etc.
Why anyone needs to know the differences, albeit minor, over 4 years from the internet is beyond me - get fitted
EP Golf Studios (another Brit channel) did comparison between the 2021 and new 2023 P 790s twelve days ago. Check it out but BLUF there is very minimal difference
I was really looking forward for this review. So nice that you can compare different clubs and be so consistent with the videos! The look of these clubs is stunning! I love how the channel is growing and the quality.
These irons have been reviewed by a million other UA-camrs but I still waited patiently for Rick’s review to decide between them or T200. THIS IS THE POWER AND TRUST of the Rick Shiels.
Really wish he would do some takomo and sub 70 reviews. I'm in the market but don't have the funds for anything over $800.
Right now Cleveland iron sets are 799 Canadian. They are pretty much like srixons. Uhx or launcher irons. Not the hybrid looking ones.
@@1104blakeI have a set of takomo 201’s and can say they are pretty fantastic in my opinion. I had some Mizuno mp63s I replaced and they feel very similar and perform great
Mizuno ;)
Try Wilson's D9 forged they feel great fully forged head not just the face like other makes and look gorgeous
I had just bought the "old" P-790 before the new ones came out and I had been kicking myself for getting them just before the new model came out.
This lightened my worry. Thanks Rick
I love my 21 set of P790’s. They are by far my favorite set of irons ever , they are accurate and feel amazing they will be in my bag for a hot minute.
Well done Rick -- another honest review. I have to say that the more I watch H.I.T. the more impressed I am with your commitment to not "sell out" -- I'm sure plenty of these manufacturers would pay you well for positive reviews. Your honesty in the lab and on the course is refreshing. Thank you for sticking to who you are.
I’m sure Taylormade would love to pay Rick to redo this Lmao
Respect for the honesty! Thank you so much.
I appreciate that Rick encourages everyone to test the irons for themselves as they may suit players and swings differently.
Loving these iron reviews lately, amazing work Rick. Glad to see the new indoor sim getting its paces in!
Love and appreciate the depth and honesty of these reviews. It's a great mix of data driven analysis and commenting on the intangible things we loce about our gear. This is my favorite so far
Rick I have got to say, I really do enjoy and respect your opinion on clubs. You are the very first person I watch when I am going to buy golf clubs. I am actually in the market for some new clubs to replace my old 12 year old ones. Took a break from golf due to military duties, but now focused on improving my game. Thanks for the honestly. Its hard to find that when it comes to money and influence, but you have the backbone for honesty and you stand behind your opinion and it is much appreciated. Thank you.
Loving the honesty of the reviews. Thank you!
Number 1 place to check out reviews of new equipment, love the reviews Rick & team! Would really like to see some of the lesser lights get a review. Cleveland irons, Wilson irons etc.
Went into club champion several weeks ago for an iron fitting. After a chat about my golf goals and hitting my own irons to warm up we started narrowing down the field. Tried the brand new 2023 P790’s. Really nice looking. Didn’t like the sound / feel. Jake had me try the 2023 T200’s. Huge difference for me. My son was with me and both the fitter and he saw an immediate improvement in contact, flight, and results. I noticed the sound and feel. Another tweak with shafts, both length and type, narrowed my dispersion even more. Nailed it. I Love hitting these irons thru the whole set. Was worth the extra cost of the fitting / irons.
My son plays the 2021 770’s. Loves them. His brother in law plays the previous model P790’s. Loves them. They were both fit. Do yourself a favor and get fitted. Find the right match for you.
Like the review. Very detailed. I hit both the T200 and P790, found both to be great clubs but the P790 was more consistent, felt more workable and easier to hit. I guess it all depends on the person, I’m a 4.7 index player and do not mind a forgiving iron. Still trying to decide but the P790 just look so good. Ty!
I've always admired Rick for what he does for all of us golfers on UA-cam, but maybe most of all, his unwavering honesty. Most people get a brand new club in their hands, and the excitement tends to overshadow our true opinions of what we're hitting. I mean, it's the brand new model, so it HAS to be better, right? Maybe not always. I trust Shiels because he doesn't have any equipment deals, and they still send him all the new stuff to try and to review. Who doesn't like free advertising, right?! Not every new club is going to be a "hole in one" type product, though. Just the nature of things. I would still check them out myself because you never know, but I certainly always take note of what the guy that gets free clubs off contract says about them as well! Great stuff, Rick & Co., and I'm STILL crazy jealous of that new H.I.T. studio!!!
I love the honesty of these reviews mate !!!
I bought the 2021 P790’s, and this review makes me really happy about that purchase. I think they are the best looking iteration of the series, and now I don’t have FOMO on the 2023’s! Thanks Rick!
Still have my 1st gen P790 from 2017/2018 in the bag. Love them and they perform great, not sure the newer ones offer or deliver much more.
I am really happy for Rick with this new channel. His devotion towards this is through the roof. I know HIT will be HUGE someday
Sorry I'm replying to your comment. It wouldn't let me put my own down. I have last years p770. Hit knock down shots. Less swing speed will go 10m further
Someday? …
Would be curious to hear more about the shafts in the clubs when you test them. I had a fitting the other week and was amazed at the difference the shafts made. I didn’t get on with the new 790 regardless of shaft (I’ve also hit the current 770 quite a bit and didn’t gel) but the difference from stock to a heavier PX LZ shaft was stark. My T-150s with PX LZ’s arrive this week hopefully, but even these with the AMT shafts weren’t popping, for me the Project X made a world of difference.
Great honest video!! This is What I love about HIT this is the stuff that really helps us to make good choices
My T200 arrive today !!! So pumped. these P790 look phenomenal as well. More choices for more fun golf
Love the new channel. Keep up the good work.
Gotta love the honesty in this review! Appreciate that not every new club is praised just for the sake of it or to be considered as a reviewer for future new clubs as on the majority of golf channels.
Love how honest Rick is 😂, fascinating to see the performance diffences between the clubs though regarding forgiveness
Hit the new 790s at a fitting yesterday, along with T200 and T350 plus Paradym. The Paradym was the best by far for me. Thanks for the honest review!
As always Rick, a good honest review.
Loving the new channel. Keep it going. 👏👏👍
Love these reviews in the "Hit Studio". Thanks Rick and the team
Thanks Rick for a great review. You’ve helped my decision in which irons to buy. Thanks 👍🏻
Just superb. You have such influence Rick.
Appreciate the honesty, Rick
Everything Rick Shiels does is 💰 love you Rick keep up the golf content you make us all happy 😃
It’s the best day when a new H.I.T video comes out
Great review of these. I picked up a mint 2021 set this past week on your advice. I break them in tomorrow. Thank you for your input Rick. Love the new channel!!
I got my set of P790s in yesterday and went out to the range today with them. I had a set of 2019 models prior. I switched more because the set I had were not fitted for me and were too upright. Fitting properly does have its advantages.
They might be a bit shorter (I don't know based on one range session) but the right fitting seems to make them a lot more accurate. I'll be interested to see if this translates to more GIRs on course. The long irons have a higher flight than the 2019s models. That is pretty obvious right off the bat. One problem I had with the 2019 models was the occasional flier that went 20 yards farther than expected. I haven't seen this with the new irons yet but, again, I can't really decide based on one range session.
I’ve got 770s and absolutely love them , on
Thing I’m not a fan of in the 700 series over the years is the little dirt catcher on the to , I think it would look nicer capped off
The TXG Club Champion guys did a review on the P790s and found the same issue in the short irons and the possible gapping issues. Not so sure about the flighted CG only without the speed pocket in those shorter irons. Anyone considering these should watch that review. That would be a good review for you to do Rick. Just review all the short irons to see the drop off and possible gapping issues.
This is the exact reason I love Rick.. no bullshit like other reviewers (looking at you James Robinson and that golf box Alex guy , that every club is the best that they have hit)
Definitely an uplift for my Saturday, great review
Nice video, love too see a honest review and comparing them to the t200
love these vids. really enjoying watching them. i really wanna see a mizuno pro lineup review!
Good honest review! Thanks for that.
I had first edition of the p790 2021's and got these 2023's a few weeks ago and find these are way better. They have a better ball flight and are so soft on impact. A pleasure to hit! I have never hit especially long irons as well as I am now....
A real honest review, thank you Rick
Always enjoy the honesty. no brand loyalty . just good stuff and not great stuff or bad.
What I like about Rick is the honest and independent reviews. Well done!
Love the impartiality you've maintained
I have a P790 2iron from 2017 and I absolutely love that thing.
Dispersion matters a lot! That’s where we get killed on the short game.
Rick please do a review of all the highly rated forgiving irons and do a head-to-head! 😄
4 years ago I went for my first iron fitting. I tried T200s and P790s (amongst others). Couldn't hit the P790s at all, walked away very happily with T200s. Fast forward to yesterday and I have another fitting following years of swing changes and feeling like I'm fighting my shaft combination a bit. The new T200s offered no change at all, albeit still good. The P790s added me 10 yards an iron for the same landing spin and angle. I think reviews like this are a great insight to the club characteristics, but ultimately the performance comes down to the player, the shaft combination, and how they deliver the club. It really is each to their own
I just got my Mizuno JPX923 HM in. They are phenomenal. I replaced my over ten year old Nike SQ Machspeed iron that I games for years and years. It’s amazing how far the technology has come and the feel of these 923s are absolutely incredible. The looks are impeccable, as well. Very happy to play with these HMs for a very long time. Great job Mizuno.
Have the JPX 921 Hot Metal irons ,Love Them !!!
I have the P790 irons 5 to PW and was fitted for them late last year. Absolutely love them however, there is a BUT. I came out of some lovely Mizuno irons, again fitted for them back in 2017 so a few years old. I am still trying to find the sweet spot with the P790's ... What I have worked out is, I can't force them, I can't try and give them a little extra like I could the Mizuno. Instead I have learnt they like smooth rhythmic swings, so clubbing up is the order of the day rather than forcing a 7, move up to a 6 and trust it.
During the fitting I tried the current models from Ping & Titleist... of the three it was the T200's that I least favoured. No matter what shaft I put with them, they just didn't feel right.
The Taylor Made irons felt good with most shafts, very similar to my previous Mizuno. So in the end it was a matter of getting the right shaft with the club head.
Lovely irons but a change of attitude from me was also needed to get the best out of them.
Great insight Rick, but I do think that when you're surprised by a club underperforming like this, or your swing isn't at its peak, maybe come back the next day for another dozen balls, or better still, go grab Guy and maybe one of the mid handicap staffers, show us whether the clubs might work for them. It would add insight as I think that these are particularly important clubs to go to town on in the review. Anyway, great stuff, always good when I see a post on this new channel.
Man, I love this channel!!!
You somehow have the ability to make me save tons of money (by not just buying the newest most expensive club) and also make me want to spend huge amounts of money, but just always wanting to try new clubs.
Thank you Rick!
This is the problem with golf.
Always appreciate the honest reviews good or bad
Good honest review as always
Please continue to keep the head to head comparisons as you review more products.
Love ur videos Rick, keep it up!
Those are absolutely gorgeous. You're doing great Rick
I love my 2021 model P790s. I didn't get fitted for them though so I'm going to be getting fitted for the 2023 model and selling my 2021's (best to sell before they get too marred up from regular use). Hopefully graphite shafts work well for me, I'd love to give them a shot.
Great review! Looks like my 2021 p790's stay in the bag. From a looks standpoint, imo they rank:
1. 2023
2. 2017
3. 2021
4. 2019
I think Rick gives the most honest and true reviews of clubs.
Great review as always Rick, the P790 are great irons but Titleist on top.
I play the T200 and happy with them. I use the T300 for the 3, 4 iron. I use ping driver. Looking for a Threewood now again looking at ping, but the Adam’s looked good too. I played Adam’s about 30 years ago and loved them.
Love this review. Would love to see 2023 P770 vs P790 comparison
Great integrity, properly honest review. No pandering, just respect for us subscribers. Thank you Rick.
Great honest review Rick. I went to get fitted for p790 in March and walked out with cobra forged tec. Lot easier to hit and way more forgiving in my opinion. You should try them out.
This makes me happy I got the 2019 versions. Absolutely love those irons. No reason to upgrade.
great job Rick! We appreciate your honest review.
Thanks for the great review. As a mid handicapper looking at this type of iron, would love to see how the zx5 mkII compare to the p790 and t200 offerings
The H.I.T mantra in action here! Love it. This is the stuff we're after!
I was very excited to see these vs the titleist new T series. Great week of content from Rick, keep it up
Very much enjoying HIT Mr Shiels. Onya mate
I have the 2021 version (5i - AW) and I love them
I have hit these irons on the range and they are very nice indeed. The trick though that is often overlooked is fighting to get the exact right shaft for you. Most reasonably good golfers like an 8 handicap golfer always seem to fall for the marketing hype or the hype that they are at tour level spec so they buy shafts that are too heavy and too stiff for them. When you go for your custom fitting dont be intimidated by the fitter's recommendations either. Find the best feeling and best performing shaft for you whatever model of iron you choose. Its harder than you think and takes time.
Been waiting for this since I preordered them 3 weeks ago!
Please review the Mizuno Pro 225. If you do, I expect they’ll make it into your bag. Awesome irons!
They are so pure
I would have liked you to hit the T200 9 iron? Great "warts and all" review as usual, loving the new channel reviews.
I never knew I was interested in golf reviews until Rick's H.I.T reviews.
I am a new golfer with a full set (3i to PW) of cheap irons with very strong loft and fat heavy heads. I would really love to try something like the P790s and those Titleist T200s, just to see how I hit a proper club.
My driver and 3 Wood are reputable brands but I don't feel like I am getting much value from them, because I am not quite consistent yet. But the Irons are quite easy to hit, and I am getting confident with the Irons.
I got 2019 P790 PW-3I prefer the polished look. One area of my bag I am completely satisfied with.
This channel is amazing and those irons look amazing
I love them, i just got a combo set, went and got fitted for them. I got 4-6 p790 and also got the 6-pw in p770, i hope they come in mail soon, i weakend my lofts on the 790s. I will probably complete the 790 set eventually after i play with them a little.
What have you found the wear and tear to be like? I’ve only played twice with mine and the scratches on the back of the clubs are terrible
I love my P790’s. Such a great club
I bought the 2021 790's last year and love them. After watching this, I'm glad I didn't wait for the new ones to come out. It would be interesting to see the different in comparison for all 4 versions of the 790's.
New ones are loads better then the previous model… not even close… Loads more technology in each head softer better feel and sound etc… I have been gaming the 2021 models for over a year and just bought the p770/790 combo set and absolutely love the new ones over the old ones. I think Rick was just having a rough day with these lol…. Can’t base it on one UA-cam review… if you watch the other 2023 p790 reviews out there they are all nothing but positive feedback and coming from someone who’s gaming them they are amazing and by far TAYLORMADES best irons ever. Cheers mate ⛳️👍🏼🙂
@@silverlionbladesunfortunately most folks don't know Rick's usual go to when he's hitting it like shit, BLAME THE CLUBS OR BALL.
People should take this reviews with a grain of salt, and they don't,try the clubs yourself people!!
@@inb4230 💯 agree Rick usually doesn’t have bad days hitting the ball but clearly something was off in this review lol but yes everyone should try them out themselves and not just watch a video to decide what clubs they will buy next based on someone else’s opinion of them. 🍻👍🏼⛳️🙂
So the real question I think we’re all asking, is Rick are you giving the best all-around iron crown to the T200’s this year?
So glad I got my 2021 model p790's as I swear they're better than the new model I tested too!
Still have the original 2017 model, had them for 5 years and won't be changing anytime soon. Great Irons.
Beautiful irons, probably the best looking irons in the market today. I tried them but there was something that just didn’t do it for me. I ended up going with the PXG Gen 6 0311 P and love them.
Mizuno mp60s are the best looking irons ever made. Been playing them for 15 years and this year my scores are the lowest they’ve ever been. I tried the p790s and they feel like holding hybrids. I just can’t stand the look.
I tried a set of these and it added 10 shots to my rounds, I went back to my Mizuno MP32's, best irons ever made (IMO) and for blade like clubs very forgiving and don't get me started on when you hit a pure shot, for me nothing beats the feeling of a Mizuno.
Love the video as in the HIT studio. Just out of curiosity how big and high is the studio as it looks very spacious
Would love to see a 3 way comparison with these 2 sets and the Mizuno 245's when they are released
Great review again
I was just fit for new irons and selected Callaway Paradym over the P790s. They were much more consistent for me.
Interesting how the 790s seem to be less forgiving than the 200s. With the number of mishits you had, could it be that the irons require a slightly different swing because of the construction and different centers of gravity? I'm just curious.
I have the Ping i500s and am absolutely in love with them. For those looking for new irons, though, the 200s seem to be the better choice. Of course, one should get fitted if they are seriously looking for irons, but based on your reviews, I'd buy the 200s off the shelf.
Cheers!
Love you man but this is exactly why you need a robot arm. This will help test consistency. Of course we want you to hit them as well, but 10 with a robot will help us judge the clubs as well.
That was really surprising actually. Like, we grew up with this subconscious belief that Titleist was across the board a very difficult brand to hit, certainly a low handicapper's iron, and Taylormade was always the more forgiving one. Seems that the tables have turned a bit! Great demo though brother! Thanks for putting that together!
I would like to see and hear what you think about the P770's as well for 2023 and if they happen to be the more forgiving irons in the line up this year
