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
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.
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.
Good point. Maybe if Rick was to hit 10 drives each with a lower lofted driver the Attomax would come out on top.
Oh my god, no they wouldn’t. The physics of the claim is complete bullshit
@@steve5x565 Do you have any theory on why the ball flight would be higher?
Hopefully this drives sales up and I can find one in the trees near me.
That's how I get all my Pro V1s!
i almost spit my drink out reading this lol
I went into a creek by an expensive golf course and found over 1000 golf balls , really good ones too
I would get sick losing a 20 dollar golf ball. Glad we have Rick to test em for us.
Same. finding any clean ball is like finding a gem...let alone a spendy one
I'm sick losing a £2 golf ball.
I'm thinking you have nothing to worry about because you are probably smart enough to not spend that much on golf balls 😂
yeah I'd be holding up pace looking 8n the woods for one of these balls
Id be more sick if i spent $200 on 12 balls and they are basically top flites
I'm simple I see a rick shiels ball review I drop everything watch it and give the vid a like
I do the opposite 😂
What a brown nose 👃
I must admit I have not liked a Rick video in months but I watch every video 😂😢
You sound simple tbf
I would love you to revisit this test mid summer when the fairways are harder... that could be quite fun!
Or retest this with no winds, since the higher ball flight obviously got screwed.
The fairways are always the hardest in the winter.
I love seeing the different ball reviews, not just the ones you can go get in the shop. Maybe make it a yearly thing where you seek out the most expensive and review them?
Try the cheapest balls with the cheapest clubs against their market opposites
Super vid Rick! I always love the golf ball reviews 👍 Would of been interesting to see how it handled the bunker test.

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.
Best content, and not just in the golf arena. Kudos Rick
Rick with another on point video. How does he always know what we need as subs? Content is consistent and fun!
Friend "How much was that round of golf?"
Me "£250"
Friend "I thought greens fees are £50."
Me "Yep."
damn ur lucky...
it's 150$ here for green fee (each) + 180$ for caddy (4 ppl can share the caddy fee) + 150 for cart (4ppl can share the cart)...
Now 250€ for the ball 😢😂 im dead
@@anfzjdxn dont play such an expensive course then bud
@@aaronclarke9897 Thas the starting price in Korea. golf culture in Korea is messed up..
Rick you and your team behind the scenes are the best! Love the content and your passion for golf thank you.
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 :)
Good points, would be nice to get a more scientific/thorough test, but I don't think Rick is the guy to do it. I'm sure there are some very scientific golfers out there - Bryson Dechambeau would be perfect if he wasn't spending all his time being a pro!
@@someguywhocanfly Surely the ball was scientifically tested when it got it's world record.
Nice one Rick! What was really interesting for me were the distance groupings, the Attomax was actually seemed more consistent, all kind of in that middle distance range, whereas the ProV's had 2 in the short "band", 4 in the middle and 3 were the longest.
I thought that aswell. I'd actually love to see what the soft ones are like. Don't think its very fair to compare one of the softest balls on the market with a brands hardest ball.
@@samhirst7331 soft ones are incredible to use same as medium not tried hard ones yet
Great video, thanks for the content, Rick. Really enjoying your stuff. Would love to have seen a scuff test out a bunker on them. Not only would i get sick if i lost them, to see them scratch up would be painful too.
Great fan,🎖💫

Hi Ric, really enjoyable review. This is what I’ve always enjoyed most about your channel over the last few years, thank you 👍🏻
Love this test and also reading the comments. Interesting how the Attomax went higher. A lower ball flight may have matched the ProV’s distance. I don’t think the Attomax would go farther though. Rick’s GC Quad machine proved that too.
Safe to say id be broke after 2 rounds of Golf if I was hitting these balls hahaha Love your channel Rick! 🤙
Thanks for the review Rick. Very interesting. But I have enough trouble justifying the purchase of ProV1's when other ball give you less distance but that only results in a club choice for your second shot.
Love it!! I was wondering about this ball. Thanks, man!
Already know this is going to be a great vid Rick never disappoints
Except in his Break 75 videos 😂
@@christophergolfer still fun to watch
Would love to see you test the Louis Vuitton balls, 3 balls, 4 tees and a pouch for £605😅
Rick, I’ve been following you for a long time my friend. I live in Lincoln, NE i absolutely love watching your videos my man. Keep up the good work, if you have some old clubs your not wanting anymore, it would be amazing to play with the same clubs you’ve played with. Thanks for all you do!

Heroic! Love this man he is a treasure!!!!
That's interesting because I find I hit a titleist velocity about 10 yards longer than a pro v1, so these £200 balls aren't even as long as £25 balls... would be an interesting test to see them compared to the cheaper balls on the market
That is so true 👍
Because you have a slower swing speed
@@swandizzle8503 my swing speed is 106mph average... not exactly slow
I've found the same thing, at least with iron shots / approach shots.
@@swandizzle8503 I do agree though, swing speed is a big factor. I just realised how arrogant my previous comment was... sorry. The difference for me is I carry my drive a long distance, with a pro v1 I get almost no bounce. With a velocity I get at least a hop forward. These £200 went higher than a pro v1, which did spark my interest because my ball flight is already high 🤣
I can guarantee there will be people buying them !!
Love these videos. Keep em coming Rick.
They’re definitely aimed at the rich asian market
Sure the will, heck I've got 6 dozen in the golf locker on my Learjet 45.
They’d make a great gift for someone into the quirky side of golf. A great desk item to spark a conversation about.
That's a bloody expensive desk item lol
Super video Rick. Love these ones simple honest review and to the point..for a minute there I was going to ask the mrs for them for Christmas...ah well gud job 👍
I'm looking for a ball that flies farther and straighter with less spin off the tee, better feel and short game touch and a truer putting roll on the green. Oh wait, that's every ball.
YES! Absolutely correct.
EVERY BOX OF BALLS SAYS THE SAME THING.
If they were true and you went by the manufacturers spiel alone, then you would never buy anything but their cheapest box of balls, as it would be pointless, as their different ball offerings are ALL fantastic at EVERYTHING!!!
I don’t care if it added 100 yards, never in my life would I spend that much on a golf ball lol
Then you obviously aren’t the clientele they are trying to reach. £200 is nothing to some people in this crazy world we live in…
@@jaadmaan8156 cool story
I might if it was also guaranteed to stay in the fairway. On the other hand, I don't like hard golf balls now. I used to use Top Flite golf balls way back when I had a persimmon driver, but can't stand to hit Top Flites with my relatively modern driver.
@@bkbinj6320 I have a 6 handicap and still don’t use pro v 1’s or those top notch crap. It honestly doesn’t make a difference. Most days I play with the same ball (lately I been using callaway super fast or Taylor made tour response). I think most golfers who use expensive balls just want an ego boost. It’s like the guys with double digit handicaps that play from the blue tees…it’s an ego thing.
I will say, the course I play is pretty challenging and I know all the miss spots so every weekend I find quite a few of tp5’s, pro v 1’s, callaway chrome soft….I’ll use them because they’re free🤣 but won’t buy them.
Cool story bro 👍
Great review. It’s amazing how prov1 just can’t be beat.

I kind of like the idea of a $20.00 non-conforming golf ball that doesnt fly any further than any other premium ball. For those keeping track, thats $240 per box or roughly the equivalent of 5 boxes of Pro V1's, the same brand that outperformed them.
To be fair if he could flight them at the same launch angle as the ProV's, they'd clearly be significantly longer.
@@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.
Price framing - they’ll be 75% off soon and still be the most expensive balls on the market 😂
Like +9 and above handicaps thinking they can play and take advantage of Pro V1 or any ball designed for pros. Or any club for that matter.
Golfing in Williamsburg VA today - losing golf balls IN the fairway because of the leaves on the ground. Had a hard time finding one ON the green because it was underneath a leaf that blew onto it. I can't imagine losing a $20 golf ball. I will be on the watch for one of these "in the trees" - interesting review.
I love these little curiosity videos you do Rick, £200 golf balls of course we wanna see that.. at first I thought they must have gps tracking at that price, but no quite an underwhelming product when put through its paces.. thanks for curing our curiosity Rick
Might as well just throw a $20 bill in the woods every time I hit a drive.
If I paid £200 for 12 golf balls, i would have PAIN for no gain, and the pain would be from my other half beating the life out off me lol.
Good stuff Richard. Cheers
Just when you think youve seen it all. This is why i love this channel ❤️
🤣🤣 I love the Pro V1. If I could get my hands on some Left Dots, I might pay a pretty penny.
Really enjoy these videos mate
It’s Rick Day! Thanks Rick 🙏🏼
God bless you Rick! So thankful you're here to try $200 golf balls so the rest of us don't have to. Cheers!!
Great Video!! I'd never ever buy balls that expensive, especially seeing them underperform. Got a budget ball to check out... Wilson Tour Velocity (distance, feel and touch). Super cheap and hear they are worth it. Just an idea... Great video again!!
Nice test, thanks for the effort 👍🏻
That was so much fun. I hope I find some in the woods where I play, although I can't see anyone playing those where I play :). If I want a loud ball, I will just play Nitros.
I want to see a durability test too! 10 shots from the bunker pls! haha
I would love to see a side by side comparisons between new Pro V's, Kirklands and just random "FOUND" balls. Most of us who love your channel, are very average golfers and we all have balls in our bag that we have found in the woods during rounds and we all have balls plucked from lakes or bought from the big tubs at used sporting goods stores. I would love to know how much performance we sacrifice by going cheap and how much the elements actually affect the balls.
Joy watching your videos
Brilliant Rick. Will stick to my found ones 😀
Very interesting. How about if you adjusted the loft of your driver to get a lower trajectory out of the Attomax balls? Would that increase the distance for them?
Need to get the soft ones and test those!
Would be great to see you review Ikarus balls. They seem to be up there if not better than other premium balls
Great video Rick!
I wonder if the results would be different with the medium ball?
Maybe to get the desired distance you would have to use a lower lofted Setting on your driver since they are going so high
Ball flight looks great :D
You need to start doing regular equipment tests again. I always looked forward to your opinion on clubs.
Hey Rick. Absolutely love all your videos. Why not try having Guy be the test subject for some of these ball comparisons or even club comparisons. He may be more in line with the consumer who is looking to gain a few yards with a different club or ball for that matter. Even if both of you do the comparison together. May show the difference how much a ball or a club can help an amateur in comparison to a pro. Just a thought. Oh, and please don't give up on the break 75. Those are the best. Have a great day and hittem straight.
“I’ve used ProV1s for so long” ok Rick I see that subtle flex 😂
LOVE these videos. Thanks for taking one for the team Rick! I would never spend that on any balls. I can't even stomach paying $60 canadian for pro v 1's. I usually go for the $30-40 box of Bridgestones or Srixon. I know they'll be all gone in about 6 rounds anyways
Kirkland V2 or bust for me.
@BigRedDork Kirkland are great balls.
@@26japrey yeah. I mean I always game the Pro V's and other fancy balls that I find in the thick rough, water, and under trees first , but when I run out of those I only play the Kirkland's. I heard the new Aren't as great though, I guess they listened to too many scratch golfers and pros and made the ball harder and less spinny to account for their faster swing speeds but like, really. Those guys are playing Pro V's etc al. Anyways, so it's an asinine design decision to me when your average 15-40 hdcp+ golfer needs the softness, forgiveness, and boosted spin to keep it in play.
stoked to get these and slice a drive 15-20 yards farther into the next fairway!!
That was Steve Mould's video of the amorphous metal! Love that guy.
I hope someone in AL starts playing those near me. I’ll comb the woods.
These are my fav rick shiels vids

Thank you Rick for doing a claasic-Rick vid again...ahhhh!
Thanks Rick, can't you just to a static bounce test and measurement? Also why not adjust loft and spin characteristics of the driver to suit/optimise the flight, that flight is so different? Put a lower spin and lofted driver on, and the Pro V1s will be trounced (10p bet).
Thanks Rick 👍
Ha ha ha great review I can see crowds charging to the course to find that lost ball 😂
Maybe it's in his pocket. And then maybe he's getting a kickback on the greens fees for the next week and a half! Slick Rick! 🤣
Thank you for biting the bullet and testing these for us. I saw a promotion for them and thought it was too rich for my blood lol😅
Do more reviews. Its just so interesting
Great fan,🎖💫

Do they come with a tracker fitted so you do not lose them?
if they get more flight i would like to see you hit them after adjusting your driver to get a similar flight pattern. it seems to me that if you hit them close to the same length, you most likely lost a lot of potential length due to ball flight height.
maybe the dimple pattern worked to make them straighter?
Have you ever found dimple patterns make much difference to ball flight ?
What a great video rick, you and your team smashing it again! Id love to see you do a break 75 with them. Feel free to send me a Attomax ball signed by yourself be worth more than £17 a ball then 😂

My Dad used to tell me about a Dunlop Golfball back in the 70’s to mid 80’s that was a wound golfball that had a steel ball bearing in the center of it that was wound with rubber bands. He said those things would fly when hit with a persimmon or laminated maple driver. Then Dunlop just stopped making them. $20.00 a ball is crazy expensive.

Rick!!! We need to see a review of Snell!!! That’s the only brand you haven’t reviewed!!!
You noted that Attomax ball went much higher. I can't help but wonder if Attomax used a lower degree driver on their machine during their `testing`, and then used the same lower loft for the standard brand golf balls, thus reducing carry distance
Seems their big benefit is also the big detriment. The super-bouncy metal (Flubber, anyone?) probably is what causes them to fly higher. They definitely go further, but all that extra distance is wasted in higher flight. It would interesting to see how they compare to the Pro-V1’s for, say, 5 iron and PW shots from fairway to green (how much higher they fly, if they land softer due to more loft, etc). Seems like a good ball to have in the bag for holes on which you’d need high flight, such cutting a dogleg short by driving over trees.
Or a lower lofted driver perhaps?
So this is a titleist pro v1 advertisement..thankyou Rick
Great video mate! Definitely a sore one for those 2 in the woods haha! Been a while since I’ve been on the channel mate, glad to see you’re doing good ✌🏻
It's possible they create more spin than the prov1's and therefore require a lower loft, maybe give it a go with the LTDx LS or Stealth MAX, the massive height will definately be losing difference on these balls, so if they are similar to the prov1s now, I wouldn't be surprised if they could actually go further
The video I just watched right before this one was the bounce ball on the metal 🤯🤯🤯
I've been eyeing up the Dixon Golf Balls which are Eco-Friendly and I've used the Earth Balls before that were given to me at a tourney..... I was interested in the Dixon Fire Balls since they seem like a ProV1 whereas the Dixon Earth Balls are like a Velocity.... the Dixon Fire Balls are $74.99USD per dozen. Since they were so expensive I opted for a polo instead to support them but I will not be spending $75 on 12-balls unless I'm a + hdcp haha, I'm always looking to play a ball that not a lot of people are playing i.e. Snell MTB or the Oncore Vero X1 & X2, even the Maxfli Tour X Balls are pretty good as well
🤣 I love the marketing bollocks. It's always a load of pants.
Now you put out compliant Attomax ones at Pro-V1 price you have good competition...
I've shot in the 70s with both a prov1 and a Topflite.
The ball in the woods is worth .50 cents. lol ! Thanks for the review !! 👍
I have been waiting for this video since I first learned of these balls existence
Cool video as always Rick, it looks like you're in the UK? Height in autumn is a distance killer, even on the fairways, balls just plug with a higher decent angle.
Could you check inside on your GC Quad and crank up the sunny weather and show us the results pal. It may well be a fairweather ball.
Great job on the video!

That was great! I really hope I see some knucklehead playing those balls on the course.
Shouldn't the hard golf ball be compared to the ProV1x? higher launch off the tee, more spin, etc. Curious if the softer version would perform better compared to ProV1s
Great vid
Reminds me of the Liquid Metal clubs and claims!!
You turned me on to the Vice and it is so close to Pro V1 and the price is right. Have you ever tried the STAFF (Wilson) golf ball? It is a harder ball but the stopping power is Crazy!! Just curious on your thoughts.. Thanks Rick!

For you, a better comparison would be with Pro-V1x Left Dash.
