    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.

    I went to Costco on Saturday to pickup a $20 pack of 4 KS golf gloves (they feel like butter) and walked out with a KS1 putter and the 3 wedge set. Played McDowell Ranch in Scottsdale on Sunday. Pros: my putting and chipping were pretty good. Cons: I looked like a spokesman for Kirkland. I don't see a scratch player buying off the rack clubs from Costco but this 24hc weekend warrior is impressed with the lineup so far.

      You do you. Never understood the dissing of starting golfers or weekend players and their equipment. Not everyone wants to drop $1,500+ on all new equipment. I picked up these wedges recently myself as I was missing a LW and GW in my starter set. They're great. And now around Xmas 24pc golf balls are $23! and gloves are $22 and they're fantastic.

      @@richardnavratil9661 Brother, I've been playing for almost 45 years. Kirkland's golf equipment is very good equipment period, not just good for the money. The value is insane on these wedges. I haven't pulled the trigger on buying them yet, but I think I'm going to today. I was in my Costco 2 days ago and they were on sale for $120 for the set of 3. You can't beat that value. Balls are good too & were on sale as well for $24 and the gloves seem to wear quite well and again, the value is insane. I have no embarrassment having Kirkland equipment in my bag. Golf equipment snobbery is for fools with more money than sense.

    After doing a little bit of research, under the USGA conforming, these wedges were made from a company called Southern California Design Company in Carlsbad, California. Carlsbad is also where Callaway are based. Costco also has a deal with Callaway, as seen with the Callaway Edge set. That also makes sense why the putter could potential be an Odyssey made putter. Highly likely that these are a callaway set of wedges just with Kirkland Signature branding.

    My guess is Callaway make them, this is for three reasons. 1. Callaway seem to have a deal to sell box sets in Costco. 2. Odyssey are owned by Callaway and the putter does look as if it could be an Odyssey. 3. The shape looks like the old Mac Daddy range. It could be product recycling under a different brand. Would be interesting to see how the ball correlates with an old Callaway premium ball. Maybe you should get that ball cutter going to check?

    "The wedge shares a similar creative story to the putter in that Costco buyers approached a well-respected design firm, in this case, the Southern California Design company, to develop the wedges and work with a manufacturer for production. This isn’t SCD Co’s first time working in golf either-it had a hand in the (visual) creation of the Cobra AMP Cell irons, and another company Indi Golf and the StingRay wedges."

  • @TheWadeandDaveShow
    @TheWadeandDaveShow 3 роки тому +24

    One of the main factors that affect the performance of wedges are the freshness of the grooves. With this price point, you can switch out wedges every 3 years vs buying a set of premium wedges over that time period. Just ordered a set.

    Hi Rick. I was watching this Kirkland Wedge video to see if they would help my game. I an an "improving" 17 handicapper, can hit the ball well off the tee but poor and inconsistent as i get closer to the green. After watching this vid, you have convinced me to purchases these to help improve my accuracy/consistency, so thanks. However I then googled how to hit wedges and found an old video from you, I think it was 2015!! I had to check the link twice as you looked totally different (younger/slimmer/less beard), made me chuckle but in a good way. Keep up these great vids, they help myself and many like me to a) understand technique better and b) apply those learnings into my game. If you ever fancy a game round my club Leyland, drop me a note. Best wishes Peter Mc

    after watching this, thinking of Costco's generous return policy. Have played two rounds and they are staying in my bag! Strike feels similar to the Callaways, although I only hit those off the mat, so maybe apples and oranges. Every good shot I hit with them stuck nicely. Unfortunately I still hit a lot of bad shots. They can't fix that.

    Hullo Rick. I have worked for the last decade at a municipal golf course, here in the U.S. I have also steered folks looking for (a) wedge(s) towards Wilson. For those who don't have $150 & up to spend on a Vokey (Titleist) or RTX (Cleveland). We've offered Wilson Harmonized wedges for between $35-$50 U.S.. they're gorgeous, more than functional. For that price they are flat out exceptional. Unless you're a single hndcp or better player, I doubt you will notice any difference in performance or feel. For around 1/3 of the price of more premium brand names. I hope that's helpful for someone. Thx Rick!!! Love your YT vids. Still waiting to win one of your giveaways. Keep up the good content & keep swinging...⛳👍🤞✌

    I feel like you were spot on with odyssey (Callaway) making the putter. I would also guess that Callaway made the wedges. Base solely on the fact that that’s who Costco seems to be in bed with. The edge full set, the only other ball Costco offers is a Callaway which I believe is specifically made for Costco. The only bag they carry is a Callaway. I would be surprised if Callaway has not made those wedges.

    High handicapper here, never had a full set of wedges, so for the price I figured what the hell. I love them. The only thing I did was change the grips, the grips they come with are about the diameter of a pencil. I also picked up a pack of their gloves, 4 pack, great fit, and durable as hell, I have yet to wear the first one out like I tended to do with the Callaway gloves I usually buy. As for the ball, like the way they play, but then cover is one of the least durable I've ever played. I've scuffed them with my old Callaway irons and dirty grooves. Not good for desert golf, where a trip to the rocks is a very big possibility. Is try the putter, but I love the one currently in my bag, so no comment on it....yet.

    The apparently they are designed by "Southern California design company". They are based in Carlsbad California. Most of the major players in the golf club design are also based in Carlsbad CA. I think they could be a wedge called Carbite but being designed in Carlsbad Taylormade, Callaway and Cobra are also based there. Apparently SCD helped design the Cobra AMP Cell irons. Oh and Odyssey are based in Carlsbad so I think Rick is spot on with his call the KS1 putter has a whiff of them about it. But who knows 🤔

    Rick, you were almost right about the putter. It was manufactured by some type of big Chinese corporation. They also work with many other name brands to produce mainly putters, so there is a good chance that odyssey might also work with them. The wedges on the other hand were made by Southern California Design Company who also made the Cobra amp cell irons. This company has also made wedges for some other lesser-known golf companies. It seems that Kirkland is willing to spend a lot of money to make the best version of their clubs as they can! This is exciting because it shows that they care. We're all excited to see what they bring out next! Thank you to GolfWRX for supplying this information.

    My wife purchased these wedges for me as she knew I wanted a 52,56,and 60. I was looking at the vokey sm8, but she bought these for me so I decided to use them. They are great wedges I get great height, spin, and they stop on the green. Today for the first time ever in my life I was on hole 8 at my local course and was 60 yards away with my 4th shot it was a par 4. I grabbed my 56 degree and took a shot. It was right at the pin hit in front rolled forward and dropped in the cup. As I said before this is the first time I have ever done something like that and it was with these wedges. I have to say that these are great wedges

I could have purchased a used set of wedges, but I wanted a new set that were matched. Played today in Orlando - the wedges were the best part of my game (of course my play today was impacted by being soaked due to Tropical Storm Eta). A few more rounds before I give up on golf for the year and vow never to play again. Good purchase.

    The wedge shares a similar creative story to the putter in that Costco buyers approached a well-respected design firm, in this case, the Southern California Design company, to develop the wedges and work with a manufacturer for production. This isn’t SCD Co’s first time working in golf either-it had a hand in the (visual) creation of the Cobra AMP Cell irons, and another company Indi Golf and the StingRay wedges.

    Rick-I just got these and I gotta say Wow. I've been using a wedge from 1983 for around the green most of the time. I bought a cleveland but could never hit it the right distance. I saw this video and dropped the cash on it. Wowie! I can now understand how you can hit a 52 degree 125yds. I'm a small guy-5'7" so swinging 135mph is outta the question. But these 3 wedges fill up a huge gap in my bag. I can how hit 100 with an easy lazy full swing 52 with stop spin-not a huge draw spin. Took 7 strokes off my score last time I played. Thanks for this review. BTW-AT costco the salesman said he heard from Phil Michelson these are made by a subsidiary factory of Callaway-for the Saudi tour players.
