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'm so glad that Adams is back and that you're reviewing them. My grandfather, who got me into golf at an early age, used Adam's drivers and woods, and swore by them. When he passed and left me his clubs, I was still learning as an early teen and feel like I didn't do them justice. If I needed new woods at the moment, then I 100% would go with a custom fit Adam's set. Yeah, would definitely make me feel like he's playing with me, but I feel like just using Adam's, a old-timer in the game coming back, would give me so much more confidence. Thank you so much for reviewing the new Adams clubs. They'll be my next buy when I need, just hoping they keep manufacturing by then
Looks more like the M4, it might be the 3rd run of the M4 with the Adams branding slapped onto it.
If I didn’t know those windows weren’t windows I’d think they were windows 🙃
I find the fact they are fake windows quite off putting
You do know that he is not hitting out in the open right.
Say windows one more time, I dare you
Please don't have children
Did you just say window 3 times in one centence
I have an old 10 to 12 year-old Adams Idea 17 degree hybrid. Still use it to this day. It's my favorite club. Defimitly interested in testing the new driver. Thanks for the video Rick!
So good to see Adam's back. Especially so that they are making product that performs as well as the Driver and Putter do. Hope they'll stick around to make something more like their CB2 irons or CMB irons again.
CMB’s we’re ahead of their time! Still my favorite.
@@AlmostGolfing I actually managed to get my hands on a set. Reshafted them with MMT 105 TXs and am in love with them.
I've got Adams 3, 4, and 5 hybrids from the early 2000s in my bag. They are fantastic clubs, long and straight, so easy to hit. So good to see Adams Golf is back. Hope to see you review the hybrids soon, I'm sure you will be very pleasantly surprised!
Love the real club reviews. That driver is very nice and at that price point may become a top seller. Interested to see it one the course for a whole round.
I still have an Adams 5 wood that cycles in/out of the bag depending on course. Also the Kai'li white shaft is very stout, I was fit for that shaft into my Stealth 2 earlier this year. Can really go after the ball with that shaft. My chs with driver is around 110 mph
Great review and a real eye opener regarding performance to price.Looking forward to the Hybrid reviews as i am a fan when it comes to a good hybrid.
I’ve got 2 adams hybrids that I rotate in and out of my bag from back in the day. A 3 hybrid and a 4 hybrid that I switch out depending on the course I’m playing. I’m so happy to see them putting out quality clubs again. I might have to try out the 3 wood because I’ve been wanting to replace mine. I’m still using a taylormade jet speed 3 wood, and I haven’t been able to justify buying a new one due to the high prices on new equipment. The adams clubs fall right in the range I’m looking to spend.
Would love to see your take on the woods (hybrid especially) and the irons! Class as always, Rick!
Picked up an older Adams 7w from goodwill a couple months back and it still remains my favorite club in the bag. I just have so much confidence in hitting the ball dead straight with it.
Glad they are back.
I have an old set of Idea Tech V4 irons. 4-6 hybrids, and 7-gap wedge irons. I absolutely love the hybrids. I did not hit the irons well, but to be fair I do not hit any irons well. I am probably a candidate for an all hybrid set, but I can't see myself using them yet. For every 20 iron shots, I will hit one well. When I get frustrated enough trying to hit irons consistently I will make the switch.
Driver prices from the big 4 have gotten RIDICULOUS - refreshing to see a brand with some real heritage offer a quality option for half the price.
Agree main brand prices are "prohibitive" for the avg golfer now.
Really enjoyed this video Rick having been fitted for the Wilson driver this year and the performance is unbelievably awesome, and after watching this review I think the big brands may need to be ready to lower their prices a bit as this Adam's golf club shows it has the technology and the performance to keep up with the big brands. Great stuff as always Rick 👍👍
They’re still owned by TaylorMade. This is taking a shot and making additional revenues at a price bracket where they had no offering.
I'm just about to get back into playing after a long time out, and I have a set of the Adams A2 irons with 3 & 4 hybrid included. I bought them new back in the day and loved them. I'm gonna go straight back to them, cos I don't see any point in changing!
Love what you're doing. Keep up the great work Rick.
I have an Adams hybrid/irons set and I love them. It’s great that they’ve come back.
Adams golf is how I discovered your channel when you had two fairway woods battle it out...the X hot took the win, BTW. I'm so glad you're giving them the spot light now. I have a lot of good memories of that tightlies FW and the blue driver. Great review as always Rick.
I have always liked Adams clubs, and in fact I still have a set of their irons as a backup set. I look forward to hitting the new stuff, and I have to say the new driver looks incredible.
So glad to see Adams are back! Fantastic review, as usual. I still carry the Tech OS hybrids in my bag that I purchased back in 2007. To this day I haven't found a hybrid that's as long, forgiving or accurate and those clubs. By far my best buy since I started golfing, and I've played several different brands.
I still use a 16 degree and 20 degree pro hybrid. I’ve tested it against ALL the new hybrids and they don’t come close. The 16 degree is my go to for into wind 220-230vstinger and the 20 degree digs me out of rough and still goes 200 yds. Adams were so far in front of the big brands. Good to see them back
I'm still using my tech OS hybrids from many years ago and struggle to find anything that comes close to those clubs. They're the perfect golf club IMHO.
I just hung up my Adams V3 Idea Tech Forged set after playing them for 13 years!!!!! I used to play the Adams Speedline driver and had the Tight Lies Sweet 16, 4 wood in my bag too. Played many Adams clubs through the years and was sorry to see TM buy them out many years ago , because NO ONE made hybrids like Adams did !
Good to see Adams BACK making Solid Clubs !!!! Nice review Rick !!!!
Been an Adams guy for some time, playing Adams irons, and after your reviews, decided to try the new putter AND driver from Adams! The putter, phenomenal!...the driver I've had to the range, haven't played a round with it yet, but it looks awesome. Looking forward to it and more reviews!!
Nice one Rick, I think you have just helped a lot of people save a lot of money, well a thank you to Adams as well, not that I will be getting one as I just can't hit driver even after lessons, what are the 3 woods like? Keep them coming mate.
I have an Adams Speedline LS 3 wood in my bag, absolutely love it. Can’t see my ever changing it
TaylorMade M4 is what came to my mind when I saw it. Very nice. I remember the set of Adams idea hybrids my step dad use to play with all those years ago. Cool to see them back
Exactly. Was weird he said M1, M2 etc when it's obviously far more M4 with the grey. Yet leaves it out.
You know it’s going to be a good day when it starts with a new HIT video!
I've had a few Adams clubs over the years and have loved them. I'm excited to see what you post about the irons, because I need new ones.
I’m still rocking the Adams tight lie 16 degrees 3 wood from back in the day and pulling numbers like 260 yards. It is great to see them back
Loved this video of the new Adams and your opinion on the quality and value of the driver. Would be nice to get your feedback on the woods and especially if there are hybrids available. Your studio is awesome.
nice to see Adams back...im still rocking 3 of their old woods they are great when i am hitting well... maybe time for a upgrade.
Adams was such a great brand, so good to have them back. Also really need to get my hands on that driver myself to test as it performed and looked awesome!
I still play Adams irons so it's great to see the brand return and offering some real value to the average or beginner golfer.
Played with the Adams F11 for 12 years. Great & beautiful driver. I put a Fujikura Motore F1 stiff shaft on it. Very expensive shaft at the time compared to today. That driver holds so many memories through those years.
Hi Rick, great video. This driver looks and preforms great for the price £260 compared to the top brands. You mentioned TM M1 (which I own) at the start, I'm more interested how it would compare to M1 as that is half the price again.
ive got 2 sets of Adams irons,,,,,have upgraded the 10 year old Super S twice ,,with Titleist then Cobra,,,The Super S are back in the bag along with 2x A12 OS hybrids.
Thanks for the review. I think you nailed it... for the price point that is super hard to beat!
Still have my Adams Speedline 9064. Upgraded to the Ping G425 MAX but I still bring it to the range sometimes to reminisce.
I think it is a solid driver for the price . Would have loved to see you change the loft on the driver to see the numbers on the monitor .
I still have Adams hybrids in my bag from 2005. I've never bothered to cycle them out. They are just that reliable and predictable. It's nice to see the brand back.
Glad to see Adams back at it. I remember when i first started playing years ago and a friend bought some new Tight Lies irons. I was broke and my clubs were old and crappy. He let me hit a few shots with those irons and the ball jumped off the club face. It was awesome, a great first impression. I've always liked Adams since then. Hope they stick around. TaylorMade could be on to something using them as a quality value brand.
really love the old adams irons, still have a set of A12 Pro and the xtd forged
These are great videos. One suggestion. For us gear heads, would you please show the club and ball data on some of your swings? Like the Club Champion (former TXG) boys do when they are testing clubs. Thanks.
TMAG bought both Yes! and Adams. They essentially bought the R&D and then swallowed it up. Similarly, Ping bought a ton of the Nike patents.
This Driver is VERY similar to the TM Rocketballz that was "unique" to American Golf and Decathlon.
TM clearly using the Adams name to create some affordable products for the less brand conscious.
Zebra, Ram, MacGregor and some others have been bought by one company too. Which is why we are seeing a semi revival of those.
I carry an Adams tight lies, that I bought new in the late 90's, in my bag to this very day. It's been re-shafted twice and maybe a dozen grip replacements over the last 25 years, but the club head performance has never changed. I've used it for drives, approaches, high fades, low draws, from fairways, deep rough, sand, pine straw, low stingers to stay under the wind, closed face punches out of plugged lies in the mud, 50+ ft putts from off the green, chip shots, basically everything except a flop or wedge shot obviously. It's the club I warm up with at the range before rounds. That Adams club has had more of a positive impact on my enjoyment of the game than any other brand or club I've used. The head would have to break in half for me to replace it with something else.
I still use my Adam's Tight Lies clubs from about 12 years ago, the younger people at the courses always see my head covers for them and ask what brand it is. Its good to see the name finally making a come back after Taylormade bought them. It's interesting to me how similar it is to other Taylormade drivers but at such a lower price point.
I'm a long time Adams fan and bought one of these drivers as soon as they came out. I love it. It is the best driver I have ever owned and I have owned a bunch of drivers. Bought it straight from Adams for $299; best deal in golf.
The Adams Redline RPM drivers were BOMB slingers. ProLaunch Blue Grafalloy shaft……those things were money.
I'm happy to see Adam's back. I still have my set from 2006 and the hybrids are still in my bag.
Rick. I had the adams a2 hybrid iron set in the early 2000,s... although now i use cobra irons, i still use the 2 adams hybrids.. brilliant clubs. Great vid,s as usual.. where,s Guy gone.
I have played Adams woods and irons for many years with delight in the past. Very lately I switched back to Adams driver and fairway wood to replace my Cobra King clubs. The Adams brand still remains my beloved one. Hope this new budget price Idea may well deserve a try and surprise me.
I still use my vintage Adams Tight Lies irons & these serve me very well indeed. I’m ecstatic that Adams is finally back after being taken over by Taylormade for so long. If I may add , the new driver is not “cheap”, rather it’s “inexpensive” !
Has the speed slot. The tech just matches the name. It would be nice to see TM use this brand to create a beautiful line up from high handicap to player’s irons.
I'm a fan of and have a set of Adams clubs. I love them. I'm a senior golfer that needed that extra help to get the ball some height. Am going to get a fairway wood from the new company in the next couple of days. Nice review Rick
Are you based in the UK? If so, where can you get them from?
@@samwhaler9369 no in the US. Bought my older Adams clubs used here in Florida. Lots of used clubs in this area
My first driver was an Adams GT Tight Lies driver when I was 15, I remember it being a great club!
Great videos! Thank you Rick. If you like the clubs indoors, would you do a review of them on the course?
I think it’s fantastic you are using your massive platform to tell everyone Adams is back, helping the little guy, I feel it’s a Wilson competitor, maybe a comparo would be good content? Also maybe have Robinson play you using an older Adams set!
Love the reviews on these, love seeing Adams with new products. Out of curiosity, is the Adams shaft adapter the same as TMs?
Thanks for the review sir!
I still use the Adams Blue irons and hybrids. Love em
Hey Rick as a high handicapper one of the things I notice when I pick up a driver is how heavy it feels ! They vary massively and I really like the light feeling ones .. would be cool if you could talk about the weight.. I know the weight of the shaft and head can come in to play but defo something I'd like to know
u should maybe try the taylor made burner mini driver.
Hey Buddy, I noticed that a couple of grams difference in the shaft makes the driver feel soo much different. So maybe next time take a look at the weight of the shaft of the drivers you like and those you think feel heavy. The shaft weight could be the reason too.
titleist tsi1 is very light and awesome to swing
Video idea!! I'd LOVE to see you compare older Adams irons to the new ones that came out. Similar to the Ping driver comparison video 🙌
Gives me PXG 0211 vibes on cost and performance. I run 0311 gen 5 driver, 3 and 5 woods and they are awesome and also very cheap if you shop about and are patient. I paid £140 for driver, just £97 for the 3 wood and £129 for the 5 wood, I picked them all up almost new with the £97 3 wood having never been hit. It had been sent out and the box damaged by the courier, when the buyer opened it there was a scratch on the top and he sent it back. It then made its way onto ebay where the close up of the scratch looked far worse than the 3 or 4mm it actually was. I have also picked up an as new Scotty Cameron Phantom X 12.5 for £180 and Big Bertha CF19's for £185. So quick maths that's £731 for a pretty high end bag. Iv also picked up PXG 0211 irons for £150 and B21 hybrids which I flipped for £300 profit.
Short version is unless you don't care about the cash shop around, exercise some patience and try the occasional cheeky bid and you can pick up some cracking deals. So far this set up after the flipped clubs is around £430, I'm still flipping and aim to get this figure to zero maybe upgrading the bag more in the process.
One more tip, buy yourself a UV torch for around £10-15.....iv not bought a ball since picking one up. Just walking 2-3 holes nets me around 40 balls per time.
Back to this Adams driver, wait 6-12 months and you will pick one up for half it's price similar to PXG 0211 range of clubs.
I can't get enough of these video's. Awesome Rick
Thats some real food for thought in the new driver market. It would be good to see a comparison against other budget drivers such as the PXG
I my house we 2 full sets of Adams Blue clubs with FW woods and drivers. My son and daughter. The quality in them is away above standard. Super easy to hit and i like the lofts.
Even though they are reg flex and a very bazar thinner dia width to .35inch steel shafts the iron make 190 yards pin high. It may be 2015 since they have gone from, but not forgotten.
Brilliant!!! My currant driver is a Calloway Diablo I've had it for years now, scared to change it to be honest, but this Adam's driver might end up unber my tree. Really enjoyed this video Rick cheers.
I still have my Adams Idea Pro 3 hybrid in my bag. The brand disappeared because Taylormade bought them and turned them into Talormade. This is a rebranded Taylormade/Cobra of the past. Just like the Stealth Plus and Stealth 2 Plus hybrids are rebranded Adams Idea Pros with a little bit of carbon thrown in...
Great review. Another vote for comparison review with PXG 0211 & 0311 gen 5
Verry interested when I saw the putter , An exact copy of my Marilyn Yes putter and sports the C-grove technology
I used to have an Adams speedline driver and used to hit it well...a mate offered me more for it than I paid for it so it went (but I do miss it) also have a Adams hybrid ...
Yep… Just imagine with your normal 111 mph clubhead speed what the numbers would be! I’ve watched hundreds of your reviews of drivers with that Speed so it would add to the carry on the total distance which makes this driver truly a total winner. Excellent review I can’t wait to see the rest of the clubs reviewed here. Love this channel
so cool great video would love to see you do a brack 75 with this set
I still play Adams CMB forged irons and have an Idea Pro Black hybrid that gets in the bag depending on where I'm playing. Adams were ahead of their time, there's a reason Taylormade bought them and suddenly Taylormade irons are good again. I've tried taking the CMB's out of the bag, I've got a set of 712 AP2/MB that are just sitting there because the CMB Forged are still that much better.
Lovely review definitelya good looking set, I'd like to see you test a set of md golf sr1, they were big back in the day but now just in the shadows I have a set and I think there good and cheap
Hey rick i love this second channel would it be possible for you to look at the ram fx77 they seem like a really good budget iron set
Excellent review. Nice to see an open mind for clubs that are not the major hyped and $$ ones.
Have the rereleased 2020 Tight Lies FW and hybrids and love them. They also offer a 60 day trial so I’ll probably pick up the new driver
I still use my Adam's 3,4,and 5 rescue clubs they are still my favorite clubs for long approuch shots to the green.
Still rockin' Adams a3 set from 2007! Never used em more than a few times per season but now I golf more. Maybe it's time to pick up this bad fella
I currently game the mavrik driver and have been thinking of getting something new. But for me the new paradyme or stealth 2 or ping 430 don’t perform well enough to upgrade at the prices they are. Maybe this one is an option!
great driver would like to see how it works out on the course and if you could shape the ball.
Adams is really good equipment. I bought a putter a few years ago & it's a great putter.
Love this channel, it took way to long from the time it was announced to the time Rick opened the doors, but at least I’m able to forgive that for the quality of the reviews we’re getting. I’ve had a 30 year old driver in the bag so this is definitely on my radar of things to consider. Thanks Rick!
Thx Rick. Glad Adams is back. Blessings, mate.
I played my first round today with my new Adams Idea driver - it was INCREDIBLE. I love this driver...so pure...and for the money - just like you said - can't believe the quality for the money.
The shaft is really good, matched with what appears to be a Taylormade M4. Recipe for success
I used to use nothing but adams clubs. I switched to Taylormade when I kept breaking their xtd boxer driver. It was a long hitting driver. They replaced 3 of them and then eventually gave me a full MSRP refund.
I’d like to see you trying out the old Taylormade r9 with FCT. I think you’d be amazed. I played one for 15 years before denting the club face. Was fairly hard to find one that wasn’t all beat up
I had an original Tight Lies. It was my favorite fairway wood ever! I’d love to find a new one!
Thank you for reviewing these. Adam’s is one of my favorite brands and it’s good to see them back.
Rick...I enjoy the new channel. Two suggestions, if I may?
With any club test, I love to see the data, so please display the data more.
Also, seeing the face strike pattern, with the data would be very interesting...because that tells you everything about the forgiveness.
Adams CMB irons are my favorite irons of all time. They were ahead of their time. If you ever get the opportunity to try them, I would highly recommend.
Played it today for the first time. Never once in trouble off the tee. fairway to first cut on on all holes. About 20 yards longer than the Maverick I was using. 10 out of 14 fairways hit.
I have an old Adams hybrid and it still beats most of the modern hybrids I've tried. A real go to club
If this is what Adams can offer me as someone who plays once a week it’s goodbye big brands. Half the price of a stealth 2 or paradym and its looks the part then why wouldn’t I? Great review Rick 👍🏻
Got a Taylormade loft sleeve.
I’ve been waiting a long time to see your review and wow what an impressive driver! Do you think it’s good enough to bring out and use on the course? I’d love to know what you think of it compared to the G425 that you use now
I’ve been loving my Adams driver. Glad to see it get the attention it deserves.
Cracking review rick that driver sounds spot on and for £260 you can't go wrong the other brands are so expensive because they have to pay the golfing stars stupid sums of money and we unfortunately are the way they get that money back
I still have a set of old Adams Hybrids that totally clutch. I hit them so well I can't get rid of them.
