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.

Hi Rick: I’m 74 and love this game. You have helped me immensely. Thank you.
Just got a set of irons from PXG and got almost a 50% discount for being a veteran. They're the only company that does anything like that. $75 / club is unbeatable!
@Shane They stepped up, volunteered and raised their right hand in defense of their country. You too can honorably earn that "special treatment" and "price discrimination" you described.
@Shane heard of Kosovo
@Shane also wars are very little of what the military do. Any flood they're there a hurricane they're there when covid hit they was there
@Shane The fact you can make derogatory statements about veterans is because there are people like me who served. I am sorry that offends you, the Marine in me would love to meet you and make you eat those words. But the civil side understands you are free to say whatever you like (especially from the safety of your keyboard). Thanks to Bob Parsons and PXG for an awesome set of clubs and I am sorry Rick for the diversion. You rock!
PXG is only looking for the country club yuppies to buy their product at obscene prices. They aren’t using anything different from the other major brands 8n terms of materials or technology
I just went to a PXG fitting here in Atlanta based on this video. Tried other driver heads there as well, but went with the 0211 because it felt better to me...all of them were nice, but the 0211 just felt better off the face and felt lighter. Gained 30 yards over my old Cleveland Hibore driver. Was super impressed with the whole experience. They were not pushy, let me try whatever I wanted, looked at the numbers and told me to go with what I felt was best because the numbers were so similar. For me golf is about feel and consistency first, then distance...with the PXG 0211 driver I got feel, consistency, and distance! And at $199 USD, can't beat that. I also walked away with a 17 degree 0317 hybrid as well, didn't like the 0211 hybrid head as much...the 0311 hybrid was about $30 more but it felt so much better. PXG is definitely worth a look.
same here, best results for me was the 0211
Some random on the course: "Hey are you rick shiels?"
Rick, while filming this episode: "I get that all the time, my name's Jake Murphy nice to meet you"

Moral of the story, when buying a new driver put down your name as Rick Shiels for special treatment
Did everyone wonder how Rick paid without using his real name? How in the world does that happen nowadays?
@@kennywowie Bitcoin? :-)

Interesting comparison. I did like the sound of the pxg more. I personally wouldn't buy one unless it's on their special pricing.
Subscribed to both
It's nice to see you play "real" courses, not the pristine, manicured versions too often seen on reviews. And, yes, I'm subscribed to both. Keep the fun stuff coming.
SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH. I enjoy your commentary on new equipment and new developments in the golf world. Newest information on the PXG 0211 Driver. Amazon - USA is listing this, RH/LH, Graphite 50g regular flex, for $119.00 USD, with regular pricing at $199, Estimated delivery, 2 to 3 weeks. The sale price on the PXG is slightly less than the regular price for Titlest Gamer, or Tour Edge Bazooka 427.I don't know how much it could help me; in my sixties I was an 18 to 22 handicap. Now, at 75 my GHIN is in the upper 30s. I know, practice, practice, concentrate on every shot.
It would be cool to see a comparison video between the “cheap” PXG and their more expensive lines.
The performance should be similar. The biggest difference would be the adjustability of the more expensive one.
@@frankperez526 thats what I found to be true by getting fitted.
@@frankperez526 and that adjustability is awesome!
Perfmance numbers can indeed be similar but feel is not…. 0211 st is amazingly soft and the gen 4 st is even softer… 0211 DC’s can be a great light weight solution for some but it’s not the largest most forgiving club either…. The XP head is by far the most forgiving club in any generation … It really comes down to the goal in mind…. Forgiveness has you in XP…. budget minded end up in 0211…. Gamers or players opt for the blade all 3 are amazing…
@@zacroland686 in what ways is their more expensive model more adjustable?
SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH from Japan! So proud and happy for Hideki
“Subscribed to both”
I think you were spot on with questioning why PXG makes such expensive clubs when their low price point performed so well. Maybe a test between this one and their most expensive should be next.
I am a subscriber to both channels.
It does make you wonder why they sell one club for 1k. Then sell another one for $300.
Maybe it's to get the guys that wants to play on a budget. Then get the guy that has more money then brains!!!
The group waiting on #1: "Is this guy really unboxing this here?"
Ok Rick I subscribed to the other channel. Enjoy the show
LMAOOO THAT HELLA TRUE they where probably hella confused

nobody knows where BTC will go, surely I wouldn't invest in it as a retirement asset, I don't think it will ever replace fiat (both because of it's limited availability also because it would take generations to do that) and most of all because now at(almost) all-time high is in my opinion not the best moment to enter.
Nevertheless I'm happy I entered sometime ago and I'm holding. None has a crystal ball. But in my humble opinion, most people just talk about BTC, which is just the tips of the iceberg, I think crypto is going to get more importance and acknowledgment in the future.
BTC is the future doesn't mean we should hold and not think of the negative effect it would put on you. When it goes lower than the entry price. I advise that we all follow a less talked about way Which is trading. I was about to generate more than 15BTC with 1.5BTC in an interval of 6 weeks from using the trade signal. Martinez dylan.

By watching your channel for the past year and a half, I've managed to go from 15 hcp (where I've been for the last 5 years) to 8!! So THANKS!
Subscribed to both !! Also Rick whoever is on the editing is doing a fire job right now
Subscribed to both!
thanks. Like so many things in golf it seems intuitively wrong until you dig into the mechanics
SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH. YOU fixed my slice and i cant thank you enough shaved 10 strokes off my game since beginning watching you.
Subscribed To Both,,, boom baby 👍😂
Just started golf a month a go and Rick Shiels has taught me a lot with his vidoes thanks for it all Shiels
I’d recommend Erik Anders Lang and his Adventures in Golf series for some great golf related content.
You and me both brother. Much luck in your golf ventures!
I’m already subscribed to both. My drivers face just broke so this would really help. Congrats on trending.
Thanks!
Nice to see Rick trending. Congratulations
SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH. keep up the good work on both channels 👍
I really enjoy watching Rick do his reviews.
That was Jake Murphy. Rick's doppelganger.
So do I. I have learned so much
Subscribed to both, only being playing a short time but it’s crazy how quick I’ve fallen in love with the sport🏌🏼♂️
Congrats on finding the game bro but the addiction is like Crack on steroids 😂😂😂👊🏾
Honestly same! It’s crazy how quickly I just absolutely full swan dove into this great sport
Great sport you can play for a long long time and even when age and handicap goes out the challenge is still there and the hook when you hit the sweet shot
Just bought this for my son on special thank you for making me feel great about the purchase!
I recently returned to golf and have really enjoyed the candid unbiased reviews you do. Great golf channel. 👍
Sure I'm way late, but subscribed to both. I enjoy watching your videos, and despite the medical issues I have been dealing with I am going to attempt to get back into golf after over 15 years. You have helped me fall back in love with a hobby/game/sport that I had missed for a long time. Thank you.
Subscribed to both - nothing beats the sound of my old square head Nike, tin cans all day 😂
Great video again! I just bought a pxg 0811x for $190 US and a 0211 for $129 US! That's right! $329 for two brand new drivers! I've hit the 0811 for a few rounds and sold my Mavrik SubZero. Just bought the 0211 and it's been snowing out so haven't hit that yet. Looking forward to hitting the 0211 now!
“Subscribed to both”. This driver would definitely be a well needed upgrade to my grandads second hand clubs.
SUBSCRIBED to both Rick ! I need the distance, but not socially
£129 now! That has to be the deal of the century
Hi Rick, I'm seriously considering the 0211 driver, and found your video very informative.
SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH. Also, Rick, PXG recently changed the club head cover for all their woods/Drivers/hybrids to the new head cover. And they do GREAT things for our veterans/first responders on their discount program. Great thing for our vets and something to give back to them!
Agreed. I just bought new Callaway B21 driver, and iron set with hybrids in November. I have since upgraded to PXG Proto + driver, Proto 3W and 5W and gen3 0311 XP. Was very thankful for that heroes discount.
Subscribed to both! Loving the content. Your videos throughout lockdown got me interested in taking up golf. Played my first ever round a couple of weeks ago and going again tomorrow! Thanks for all the tips 👌
Subscribed to both. Thanks for teaching beginners like me! You do an incredible job and keep up the good work!
Interesting but one thing I've never seen by golf UA-camrs is any review of Yonex clubs. A few years ago I went to try out woods & irons with a view to replacing my old clubs. I tried various makes & coincidently opted for a Yonex Ezone driver & Yonex irons. The shaft of the driver has worn due to the padding on the metal bag dividers wearing out so I looked for a new driver. I searched through Ebay looking for a 2nd hand or new replacement for approx £200. I found a Yonex Ezone Series 3 with a 10. degree loft & a seniors shaft (I'm very nearly 75 years old) at ONLY £160.00 with the seller having excellent feedback. I bought it. When it arrived I was delighted (one of your favourite words) with it. I've never worried about the looks of a club, just its performance but the driver was superb to look at at address. When looking down there was a black head but a superb dark, bright blue covering to most of it. What I'm at last getting to is I've never seen any review or any Yonex club by any UA-camr golfers. Any chance of you doing so?
I like how you give every brand a chance
Anyone else thinking of using Ricks name to buy a driver online so they get “special Treatment?” ✋
Wait.. I just realised... you are so smart!!
Looks like Rick and I both got the one that power slices right and snap hooks left
nobody knows where BTC will go, surely I wouldn't invest in it as a retirement asset, I don't think it will ever replace fiat (both because of it's limited availability also because it would take generations to do that) and most of all because now at(almost) all-time high is in my opinion not the best moment to enter.

They might get suspicious when Rick orders 200 drivers i one week... 🤔
Subscribed, finally after watching you now for 5 years, my bad
I have watched a bunch of Rick's vidios and I think he is the most honest club reviewer I've seen.
Bought my driver based on his review and it is great.
Loved the sound the PXG made in this vid
Two takeaways:
1. Always order clubs under the name “Rick Shiels.”
2. Never schedule a round of golf when Rick does an unboxing on the course. You may get stuck behind him, and I’m pretty sure he left every ball on #10 fairway before jumping over to #18 tee.
I mean I’ll take the help
I just did order under Rick Shields and it definitely works!!! ;)
The next group “I just found 3 pounds, it’s a Pro V-1. Oh look, another 3 pounds over there.”
‘Subscribed to both’ - would love to win to give to my dad who is in dire need for a new driver. Maybe a potential birthday present
Subscribed to both. From Malaysia 😀
I just wish I could hit the dam thing so consistently like Rick that the tee ALWAYS stays put and don't spent a full minute looking for it.
Hey Rick I have been watching your content for years and it has helped me through some tough times while I could not golf for the last few years I've had some health issues to fight I have been trying to get back into golf again and have bought a set of pxg irons im waiting to try and the new year should be a great start for a return to the game that helps with those health issues so much, I really enjoy your content and watching your game develop to where it has today.
Moral of the story: they're all the same. It's just your swing boys.
I’m now going to order a club as “Rick Shiels” and see if I get extra treatment.
🤣
Hi Rick. I’ve learned so much from your channel in the short time I’ve been playing and am starting to see some real improvements. Thanks
Hi Rick, I just bought the 211 PXG driver, and glad to see your numbers with it. I am excited to get it in a few days.
“Subscribed to both”. PXG “cheap” keeps up with Ping 425...wow. See how it performs in the hands of a 17 handicap player 😜

I feel like Rick definitely got this idea from MKBHD, he loves to do this same thing with sketchy brands who try to give special treatment to influencers. Shout out to the great podcast with him
Maybe they can get him as a guest on his podcast. I know MKBHD plays golf
@@kevobuddy10 They already had him on. Episode 52 I think
I'd hardly call PXG "sketchy". You do know all their design and R&D guys are ex-Ping right? And that they make some of the best clubs out there?
@@markjones6557 I didn’t say PXG was sketchy, I’ve just seen other videos where they do it with sketchy companies. The only correlation is that if they knew it was Rick, it wouldn’t have taken 9 weeks to get a driver.
@@michael_duggan mine took 3 weeks which I thought was fair given Covid
The more expensive models have more adjustability...that's about it. Also, this is 250 USD now...really hard to beat that deal. People hate on PXG, but at the price for the 0211 (or the Gen 3's right now), you really can't go wrong.
Bob Parsons (founder of PXG) hunts elephants for sport. hard pass.
I found same price I couldn't believe it . No other driver on the market available for that price . Well any driver worth using
@@rswitzer8953 well fuck me. I was keen on PXGs
Subscribed to both, really enjoy seeing every week !!
Subscribed to the other channel, Jake Murphy. Could use that extra length. Haha that's what she said.
Who was the lucky person that won the PXG driver?
Did he ever announce winner?? What’s going on?
"SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH" I really hope I win this driver because it is my birthday soon .
Subscribed to both
I am now subscribed to both channels. Keep up the great videos.
As a recent PXG convert, I love the content!
I’ve been spent the last 2 days watching all your videos lol. I’ve been golfing for about 4 weeks
so, I bought the same Driver with Evenflow R shaft for $225 USD in Feb 2022. I bet if you asked for a price drop rebate that they would have given it to you. I believe the delay in shipping is due to overseas. I live in Tucson about 100 mi from their assembly facility and have ordered two drivers and a set of irons and all were delivered in 1 week. Your need to dial down loft is because the shaft you chose (Kaili S+ is a mid to high launch ball flight product. I think they produce a great product at a great price even at the lower end of their line like the 0211.
Thanks for testing a somewhat of a lesser known golf club. Since the are not accessible to try in golf shop’s it gives us the opportunity to asses the club for quality and very good results from your expert testing and comments. Cheers
"Subscribed to both" Thank you Rick for letting us know about PXG Driver! I still haven't got my old Driver out of the pond after hitting it on hole #9 the head came off and flopped into the water. Thank you again Rick
Subscribed for both. 10 Years after my last shots I wanna go back to golf, and that would really halp to build a 14 Bag. Just came across your Channel and it is really relaxing to watch.
Subscribed to both, recently saw PXG dropped price again and was coming to your channel to look for a review. Great info Thank you.
Subscribed with both channels! You are da man! I *need* that driver. I'm 77 years old and want at least 200 yards again! Thanks, Rick!
SUBSCRIBED TO BOTH!
I've come back to golf after not playing for a quite a number of years, and this is my first PXG club review that i've seen. Thanks for a great review. Great club for that price!
Rick-I really enjoy when you do head to head comparisons with drivers. This PXG driver would look great in my bag !!
It’s now down to £205 in the UK
Hey rick I’m subscribed to both!! I wanted you to know that I had a slice for 10 years and just couldn’t find a fix. After watching your complete driver guide and practice I can work the ball both ways and I have a lot better grasp of the swing. Thank you!!!!!!
Hi Rick, the video I really enjoyed was the one you played 18 holes in the hardest golf course of UK. You showed us that you are only human like everyone else and I will always support your honesty and hard work. I don't miss any of your videos. Cheers mate!
Thanks Rick. New golfer here. Great content and I look forward to more over the years.
Subscribed to both and love the channel. I stayed at Worsley park hotel for 2 years and played golf there almost every day of my stay. Some very fond memories of that place. Keep up the good work.
Subscribed to both👍 Glad you have another site .the more the better as your videos are enjoyable 😊
I purchased the 0211 based solely on your video review. So far I absolutely love this drive. Previously I had a 2017 TM M2 which I loved. But just felt the need to change very happy. With a military discount(10 bucks) tax and shipping it arrived at my door in the USA for $228
Time? from when you ordered to delivery?
Bought the 0211 driver, it kicked my TRUSTY Ping G400 Max out of the bag. Better sound, better feel, more distance when hit in the center, not real punishment for hitting it high on the toe which is my normal miss. Great stick for the money! I paid $219 on the PXG site with a Diamana shaft! I went to the R Blue Diamana from the S brown stock ping, works perfectly for my 59 yo 4.5 handy swing. Thank you Rick, I now have everything in my bag recommended by you.
Still hitting mine a few years later. I never got on well with the cobalt color riptide that was recommended...now I'm using a Fujikura xlr8 pro 61. I tool it out yesterday and only missed a couple of fairways. Solid feel and performance. Thanks Rick.
$120 before tax at the moment. Ordered one for my father in law and its shipping within one week of order. Great value
I subscribed to both, I watch your videos every day, and enjoy learning about a game that can only be played.
I'm a follower ever since I found your channel and I've recommended it to my friends, not just for the great golf content but also because it's amusing in a very nice way! I'm subscribed to both channels.

I like your attitude and your real and honest, good shots, bad shots . Thanks Rick
Funny! Just got the PXG 0211 irons, but keeping my Ping 425 Max driver and 3 wood. Good to know on the driver though. The irons feel awesome, too. 71 years old, 5.4 handicap. Always looking for help, and love your videos!
I subscribed to both, l really enjoy your videos and knowledge of golf. Your testing skills are very good and fun to see!
Rick this is a true story, last week my mate Ged who I play golf with here in Paris lent his PXG driver to his son while he was away on holiday for a few days. Johnny only went and broke the shaft while putting on the head cover after his practice. It would be amazing if I can present Ged with a new driver. Great show as always!
Subscribed to both for quite a while. Love your show
I get my PXG driver 0211 today in the morning after 4and a half weeks. I ordered him online on the PXG site with a Mitsubishi TENSE Blue AV 55 shafts in regular. It comes in this secret looking black box good packed with a great Plastik black headcover with bigger PXG letters on it. Very good is the magnetic point on this headcover for putting it on the cart so you can't loose it. In my case there was a casino chip on the cover which can be used as a ball marker, good idea. So club taken out, great looking matt black clubhead, modern headship with carbon alignment part in the middle of the clubhead. Black clubface which reminds me on my Taylor Made R5. The Black face looks great. Turning around you see the black bottom of the head and at the back of the head a little weight in three middle. The first impression with the also black shafts was black beauty. After some swings with the new club I could imagine why they call their clubs boom boom clubs. It is light but you feel the clubhead very well without being to heavy with the head. So older golfers like me (I am 58 now with two back surgeries) can create a good speed with this combination. Ball teed up, middle high, my normal strong grip, slow backswing and boom chaka laka!!! Great sound. Hit the ball a bit out of the center straight to the right but long. For me long was over the 200m mark away with a good roll afterwards. I felt great looking for the next ball. A bit higher with the tee, stronger grip automatic backswing and boom the ball goes up up and away like a baseball. It was a perfect center hit, ball starts low and reaches a middle/high ballflight perfectly straight. The ball came down after 220m with a little roll. This driver is a weapon with the right shafts. Nothing you don't need or which makes you thinking about. Only a stable very good looking head and this boom sound when you had a good hit. I love this driver from the second shot on. I let 10 more straight shots follow and it seems that I had never used another one! Love at the first sight and second hit. The best of all was the price of this club. € 194 inclusive custom shafts and with de livery to my door in Germany in total €224 . A great club for a funny price. My first PXG Club is a bomber!!! Cheers from germany .
Excellent performance review Rick. I like how you acknowledged the marketing Pzzazz without bashing them. I like your style
Enjoying all your tips and like it when you have Pros on. I'm even understanding most of what you're saying since I'm from Virginia. Y'all keep it up!
Subscribed to both. Love your videos - they really help me.
Nice to see that your reviewing PXG. I have one of there drivers and it's the best driver Iver ever had. Carry numbers are awesome and really forgiving. As u say above the equator and slight off center to the toe it loves it. ❤ 👍🏼👌🏼
I just got this driver this week and used it for the first time today, I absolutely love it!! Highly recommend!
Already subscribed to both channels, can’t buy a good drive at the minute, going to do a refresh on some of your old videos Rick.
I ordered the 7 woods custom specs and it took exactly 7 days to reach my house.
I love it too.
I subscribed to both, thanks so much for the review I have been looking at the "cheap" pxg but had my doubts...
Subscribed to both! Thanks for doing this video! Very informative!
