It's always very informative seeing Rob hit the clubs. Great vid guys. Keep up the great work.
Robs swing is looking good. Can remember the days when he was searching for 150 yards of carry with a 7 now he gets that easily! Good work the both of you!
Well done Rob and Rick, re the scoring, this should give us more differentiation between clubs and highlight the really good from the averagely good!
hey both. like the new system. more in depth and I like the fact that it becoming more about accuracy and feel rather than just distance
imo Rob needs to hit more than 3 shots, need some more good shots for comparison
First vid I've watched in months, Dobby is the man. More Dobby! MOAR!
Mid Handicap Golf Skills Challenge vid?
Connor Haberman love too. we have spoke about it at the end of last season
Rob is a top lad. Hadn't let his fame go to his head like so many other UA-camrs! (I'm the lad who chatted with you in Tesco Euxton tuther day pal. Already told you I like your stuff Rick (SAOL putting gteen) 😊
Great seeing the return of Dobby! I really like the new format.
Is Rob's belt long enough?
Barry Sanders Rob don't play 😂😂
let Rob try the Benross HTX Typr R irons.
would like to see the comparison with his current irons. as im off 13 handicap too.
keep up the good vids
they look identical to the s55 irons, look very nice and you know they will be a quality piece of kit! Great vid!!
Rob doing some work. I remember before he got his XR pros, I believe the mid cap testing had Rob hitting 7i around 140-145, and now getting close to 160. Keep up the work team Shiels/Potter.
always like watching your mid handicap testing vids but this slightly different format is definitely better, keep them coming home fellas. 🏌🏌🏌👌😆
paulstanando1975 cheers buddy
this is the review I have been waiting for, thank you Rob! fantastic swing, they should be in the bag.
Can you have Rob test the Srixon Z565 irons?
I definitely like this new format. new rating system is more informative to me at least. also a bit more granular. which I find a good thing
Hey rick great video. I would just like to let you know that it would be amazing if you had a junior tester as I am a junior golfer. Thanks, Ben
Always like seeing Rob doing a club review with Rick; good insight.
Cheers
Yeah, like the new format and certainly like the look of these pings. Good job guys keep it up.
Awesome review. Like the new style of video with using the green hitting, more relative to the game. Good work and rob awesome as ever bud👍🏻
RYAN SMITH cheers mate
like the new format point system. Good job guys
Good see the Mid handy capper back, new score system works well
Since you are comparing to his clubs, have you tried the Power Spec option. Those lofts are more similar. I think the i200s are so clean and nice looking but have not seen a review with the Power Spec option and hard to find one to demo.
Like the new system Restore! however, miss the longer irons. Always a good barometer for me as somewhere between you 2 with swing. Love the vids tho. keep em coming!
Way better system! More of these!
Love the new format, agree with some of the comments below though. 3 shots aren't enough, should be 10. Rick you paying him by the hour???
Great work lads, keep it up.
nice work Robbo. bring on the P7's and the M1 irons. and yes, I am a self confessed TMAG addict....
Good to see Dobby back testing. I prefer the new scoring system but would also add VFM (value for money) section. Looking forward to the other tests.
Oszkar Lazar cheers mate
boom, he's back! Please tell me you got him testing the Srixon 565 & 765? Beautiful looking and performing Irons and I am sure Rob would have a few words about the looks?
Love the new format Rick! Can't wait for more mid handicapper tests like this! Would love to have some course vlogs with Dobby while talking about his journey to a single digit handicap! Thanks for all of your hard work!
Like the new format. Thanks guys
i love the new system. and i hope you do moreeee.
Thanks guys, the new rating system is great. Rob, how do you rate your current XR Pros on this new scale? Would make a good point of reference.
Another great video from Rob. I like the new system, but maybe you should also use the average, to make the overall rating comparable to the old "Rob's rating". The 25 would make this an 8.33.
I just switched from XR Pro's with Recoil F3 shafts to i200s with XP95 R300. My SS is similar to Rob's, with my fastest swing with a 7i at 75mph. I ordered them with the Power Spec lofts, which are almost identical to the stock Callaway XR Pro lofts, but the golf shop made a mistake and ordered them with stock lofts. I seemed to have lost 5-7 yards, compared to my XR Pro's. The shop ordered another set with Power Spec lofts, and swapped them out today. I am now hitting i200s in Power Spec almost the same distance as my XR Pros. I might be a couple yards shorter, but I attribute that to going from very light graphite at about 66 grams with 3.8º of torque, to lightweight steel at 93 grams and 1.7º of torque, but the dispersion pattern is much tighter. I'd give up a couple yards for accuracy any day, and I like the feel of solid, center strikes better than the XR Pro's. I love the looks of the i200. It's like an iBlade, but more forgiving. Bob's Rating 9+9+8=26 /3 = 8.67
UPDATE: After about 7 months of playing with the i200s, my handicap has dropped from a 14 to a 10. I wouldn't attribute all the improvement to the i200 heads, but, surprisingly, I find the i200 heads to be as forgiving or even more forgiving than the XR Pro's. I did NOT expect that. My shot dispersion is worlds better, and I attribute that to both the i200 head AND the XP95 shaft with only 1.7* of torque vs about 4* in the Recoils. I can play regular steel without getting a terrible case of the lefts. Also, the drop in the handicap is attributable to improvements in my short game, from the Glide 2.0 wedges and going from a low-spin Callaway Supersoft to using a spin ball (Kirkland Ksig and now Bridgestone B330RX). Feel-wise, the i200s blow the XR Pro's away. A solid center hit approaches the feel of a forging, without the cost or lack of durability. I am EXTREMELY happy with the i200s and will never go back to the XR Pros. The only irons that could bump these out of the bag would be a forged club that is AS forgiving (IF that exists). Bob's adjusted rating: Looks=9, Accuracy=10, Feel=9 = 28/3=9.33!!
Very interesting, had a lesson with a Pro I'd never visited before the other day and he put me on trackman with my old G10's. Reckoned that I'd probably see some benefit from switching to something more modern, question is which? He's at Ping this week so it will be interesting to see what he makes of these clubs.
Please please please do this rating system on your reviews as well rick! Your reviews are honest and great but sometimes we're left to read between the lines a little. This system would help create a clearer picture of your thoughts. Thank you for the awesome vids!!!
Shame you had to chop two inches off that club! :) Great looking clubs, haven't hit them yet buy I will as soon as I can. Great video Rick and Rob, as usual.
Always good to see Rob :-) Rob, I'm curious to know what shaft was in that club head?
Great to see dobby back in action, ps rick would you give a review on those shoes your wearing ? I'm thinking of getting a pair.
i personally own these.....i had last years ie1 these seem to be kinda in between that and the s55. very good club..
I like this new system a lot!
Thanks for the comparison. It’s helpful to see how the reviewed clubs compare to “what’s in Rob’s bag.” Great videos.
Pls do a Epic driver mid handicap test... love the new format
Welcome back Rob.
I like the new rating system. Good to see the dobby back.
Very much like the new system. It gives a little more insight into the club all around. Obviously it still would be far more accurate with more total shots hit though.
I like the system, question is how "fit" are the clubs for him? Also 3 shots is he getting warmed up first or is this like me walking onto the course without running through my pre-round routine? And when do you "through out a shot" because it is the indian not the arrow that went off?
rick the new way to test is great. i would do this 3 times with say pw, 7 iron and 5 iron. The analysis however was terrible. you seem shocked about the yardage/ball speed numbers. The callaway is 2 degrees stronger what would you expect? Why don't you bend all the lofts to be the same for your tests?
By taking a look at the back of the irons and the top line there seems to be little difference between the i25 irons and and the i200 could you do a comparison video of these two irons thanks and keep up the could work
Hi Rick, are you comparing Ping 7i to Callaway 6i regarding ball speed? Good job Rob!!:) Thank you guys, great reviews.
Rob, Looks like your ball striking has improved. Solid sounding strike my man. Custom fitting + stronger lofts make a difference in the comparison between the two obviously but the Pings faired well I thought. There must be some mathematical way to get a forgiveness number. Strike position on club face combined with face angle, club head speed and distance off target line. Boffins go to work on that one please ! . Without it a forgiveness rating almost seems subjective, so too is a score for looks. What Rob likes the look of could be very different to someone else. The video shows the club so people make up there own minds on the looks when they see it. Don't think you need a score for that but certainly your thoughts on its looks is interesting i.e. Top line, design etc. just don't need a score . I like the feel and overall score rating system but more detail to help the consumer i.e. Under the banner of Feel share with us what the sound is like compared to other brands compatible irons. it's hard to tell through mikes. Does it feel softer or harder to those different brands compatible clubs, does it give you feedback on off center or miss hit shots or does everything feel the same.
Rob and Rick, you do this already but as a consumer I am looking for more. A score just doesn't give me enough. How many clubs have we seen score an overall of 8 for example. Many many, so what then makes them different from each other? We can't hit every new iron (also with a trackman) before we decide on what to buy, but you can for us, and help us narrow it down. Rob you are a good enough player and in tune with these elements so would you mind sharing them with us in more detail. Still score but give us more food for thought. Don't get me wrong, I am loving it but that's why I want more, I am still left hungry. Thanks for all your time and effort. You both rock !
Not shocked that spin was up and distance down since the Ping is 2 degrees weaker than Rob's XR iron, but the ball speed drop off is really surprising. Did swing speed remain constant on both irons? I know Rob commented that the Ping felt heavier.
Cace Smith I can't tell for sure but it looks like a DG shaft. Maybe an X100 as per Rick's specs??
Cace Smith that's what I wanted to look at. the ball speed was down but it's swing speed I'm interested in also
Rick why don't you have Rob do the skills challenge when testing the clubs. What better way to get a feel for a particular club?
What does rob score his callaways out of 30 looks accuracy feel etc
Great new review system!
Wish to see Rob try some Wilson clubs.
Rob's swing is looking great
Nice format Rick, makes a lot more sense I think. However, could you perhaps go to 5 shots (don't have to show them all in detail), and then use the "Offline" averages to determine the Accuracy rating?
Can you get Rob to try your Wilson V6 irons or maybe the Wilson F5 irons. Did you get these to review?
I like the new rating system
Excellent review,good work chaps.
hey rick, i have a question for you. When playing well, i normally hit my driver longer than my friend, about 5 to 10 yards. But when it comes to irons and wedges, he hits his 7 irons 15 to 20 yards longer. What could i be doing wrong?? great vids keep em coming
Like the new format guys!!! Think it should be 5 shots tho.... I'd like to see rob participate in some head to heads in this format
can your get Rob to hit the i200's that are 31.5 on 7 iron. I know are making a set in i200's that have stronger lofts. and also an you try hitting them with graphite that comes with ping? tks a million. come visit Mississippi anytime for some fabulous golf..
More Rob in course vlogs and club reviews!
like new format!
best mid-handicap i've seen!
great review!!!
what a chavtastic name, shame your surname isn't claxon
Are you still doing What's in the bag? Rahm and Matsuyama
Rick, what brand mat do you use in your studio? I notice it holds a real tee, of which there are a few companies now who make that sort of a mat
The drop in distance and speed has nothing to do with the club. All strike.
qudjyo
Boi your dumb the pros in 2010 hit 30 less yards then now
Nice! Would be interesting to have rob's new rating on his actual clubs too - to compare
Curious why he said the club is "very heavy" in terms of feel. Specs say the 3i through 8i are only D1 swing weight. His current Callaway XR Pro's are D2. (Yes, I know swing weight is not actual weight.)
Ping seem to have brought out about 10 sets of irons in the last 18 months.
That's so cool I'm a member of Teton pines. It's in Wyoming
Rob should vlog his quest from mid handicap to single figures on his UA-cam channel with Mr Shiels assistance. 😊 ⛳
2PUTT SHANKUR that name though
Dínero Maybe he should change it. Any suggestions? 😊 ⛳
2PUTT SHANKUR lol no i mean your name!! it's AMAZING!!!
Dínero Thank you for saying . I get alot of comments about it. 😊 ⛳
that was my plan buddy. but everyman and his dig has got in the golf vlog trail and it's as bad as all the main manufacturers flooding the market with golf clubs lol
Rob with the Rockstar pose.
If your comparing 7 iron to 7 iron, the Callaway XR 7 iron is 30 degrees in loft. The Ping i200 is 33 degrees in loft. I think you found your difference in carry and ball speed. So saying "that is why you have the Ping G's and G Max line for that" is not true but also misleading. I like the idea though of getting the average golfers opinion on clubs. Makes the video more interesting.
Geez, Rick needs a lesson in American geography! Just so you know, Rick, the Tetons are a mountain range mostly in Wyoming (cold). That's north of Colorado if that helps. It's pronounced Tee-Tawn. Keep up the great content!
Well a 16 yrds drop in distance is acceptable especially if the i200 has 2 degrees less loft than the XR pros. Its basically a 6 iron (XR) vs a 7 (i200)
I note Golfbidder rate the i500 as more forgiving for the higher handicapper than the i200, which is all a bit confusing.
Where have the extra 15-20 yards come from with your XR Pro in the last year?
“I really like the feel of the club. There’s not much feel to it.”
Thanks.
lol
Rick any chance you could review the Wilson V6 irons?
how about Rob testing the Z565 irons......
awesome!
Rick, bit off topic. i am a subscriber and watch the majority of your videos and do enjoy them but every time I search for something on the internet these GX7 golf clubs pop up. They seem like a gimmick but have you tested these? I also see these Rake wedges pop up what the hell are these? I have never heard of them before. Is someone trying to tell me something? I think it would be interesting to see these style of clubs reviewed on GC2 for all to see. cheers.
Like the new system but suggest more shots than 3
great
I believe Lee Westwood was gaming these last weekend at the WGC Mexico.
Its tee-ton pines in Wyoming USA
Its not there going back to old style irons.. It's the fact the the tech in the irons isn't changing that much but there now able to package it in a smaller way which in turn gives the old school look. ;-) What does everyone think of that?
Great new review system , 5 shots would probably give us better results, and Robs swing is getting so much better
Alan Tinto cheers buddy. it's deceiving at the min as my swing doesn't feel comfortable one bit. really need a lesson with the boss
Rob Potter , maybe that's how you feel Rob, but your swinging more freely, so more lessons,more practice and single figures soon mate
Why don't you use the Calloway Golf balls?
Really like the new format - Rob needs to hit enough (5-7 )shots and pick the best 3 to eliminate poor strike when you're looking at the numbers. This would allow a comparison between clubs (albeit not taking into account different lofts). Rob needs to do the skills challenge (and Peter and the obvious other UA-camrs).
I can't wait till my new swing bedded in to buy a new set of clubs! Question mark for this brand though 🙂🤘
liking the reviews on an actual hole
3:55 is when he starts hitting the club.
1.Looks
2.Performance
3.Feel
may be better rating categories :)
