Love how you can give any equipment a fair shot. Most people would see a package set, $500 and look for any reason to call it trash. Thanks for always giving a fair and unbiased review.
@terrythomas790 thats funny, the only driver i ever had the head fly off was a cobra f6 driver several years back and it was after 1 game a week for about 3 months. Never hit the ground with it and took care of it, just one day flew right off further than the ball.
Just go to Costco they have them at every warehouse right now. Leaside Costco and the Costco in Markham I’ve bought them at both locations in the past few weeks
@@joek6590 high spin isnt a bad thing . Spin creates flight and speed. But it does hurt accuracy because the worst you hit it the further it will fly. The soft covering that makes it spins a lot does hurt durability
One thing I like about watching Rick and his show is that he keeps it real. Meaning, he shows his good and bad shots when he could edit them he shows them. Thank you Rick for be an upstanding individual with your show.
That driver looks like it could be in your bag soon. You're hitting it straight, and you seem to be getting good distance with it. Maybe 10° with a regular flex shaft could be your new specs!
One thing I really like about rick is that his videos are so pure, so raw, there's no clipping so that it makes him look much better. Like at the end, the video would probably turn out better as a whole if the ball would go in, but the way Rick's doing it is so pure and real and he never fakes anything.
I thought the same thing. Of course ego will not allow Rick to game these clubs but if it was all about the end number he’d play them with a different putter.
Extremely similar to the cobra fly xl package you tested a little while back. I brought that set last summer and love them!I got a cobra 60° as well, reduced from 35+ down to a 13 hcp and only now looking to upgrade the driver. Great content as always 👏
Wonderful video Rick, love your reviews. So in your opinion, now that you have reviewed both Costco sets Cobra and the Callaway, which do you fancy out of the 2?
I love my Cobra XL Speed clubs. However, I didn’t buy mine from Costco, and they all came with graphite shafts, and a bag. I bought them as a retirement gift to myself mid last year.
People love you because of your humility. Can't stand watching other YT's play holes, but I can watch you all day. Keep it up. Haven't seen any reviews on Kirkland gloves (maybe they haven't hit across the pond yet), but my word, they are the bomb. Four-pack for $20 US and they rival the best gloves. I've been using my Kirklands for practice and my FJ/TaylorMade's for the course, but I wouldn't have any problems using them in a round. I just hope Costco never stops selling them (so I stocked up by buying a few packs...don't tell my wife).
I have this set and it’s perfect for the high/mid handicap player. The only gripe I have had with this set was the putter which I sold. This set single-handedly buy more Cobra products, love them
I just purchased these this week. At 45 I haven't hit a golf ball in 15 years and wanted to get back into it with a beginner set. Wow.... hitting that driver at the driving range was amazing. Definitely sprayed a few, but they're pretty forgiving and long. Love them.
The sky test is why I think the speedzone xtreme was such a good driver for new golfers. Having the pilling wrap over the top line helps prevent sky marks
Thanks Rick , im in the market for a set of clubs , your videos are my first stop when I need info 👏🏻👏🏻 I wish we had a Costco in RSA our golf shops are insanely expensive here it's scary 😨 keep up the incredible content we all love it 🤘🏻
Another great review. I think this would be a great set for someone that may have started playing golf with a hand me down set and is looking for a decent set of new clubs but doesn't want to drop $1000 on new clubs. A great stepping stone set that you could start adding to or replacing certain clubs as you go along.
If someone wants to upgrade from a bit of a scruffy and cobbled together second hand set to something new and shiny, these look great. You would not look out of place if you turned up for a game with your mates with those in the bag. 👍🏻
that’s true although this past season i went from a 12 handicap to a 6 after getting all brand new clubs but maybe it was all the practice and lessons haha
Thanks Rick for your videos, last year I played golf in high school and went to districts, and we got there because your videos helped me learn more about how to hit it straight, so thank you for helping out someone
Great review and good to see that it is possible to buy a set of attractive and performing clubs for a reasonable price. Costco has not made many missteps with their brand entry into the golf market. I am looking forward to your review on the new Kirkland golf ball model. Great collaboration by Costco and Cobra and thanks for bringing this to everybody's attention.
These are very very similar to the FlyXL package set you reviewed last year! They improved the putter a bit, swapped the 5 wood for a 3 and changed the colour scheme!
Those Cobra XL box set golf clubs would be a good starter set for a high handicap player. They are not to expensive and from the looks of things perform really well. Goes to show you that golfers can get some quality clubs at not so expensive prices. And like you said these aren't custom made clubs but that is to be expected from a box set and also the putter grip makes the putter be open when you hit putts. But in time I bet you and others would figure out how to putt with this Cobra putter and hole some putts with it. Thank you for sharing this video. Happy golfing to you!
These Package sets look great - for beginners or players with limited budget. Costco is about to open their first NZ store later this year. It'll be interesting to see if these, and the Balls, are available. With regards the putter grip - I thought a player of your ability would have worked it out before the 9th hole, besides, if YOU don't give it enough oomph, is it really the putter - a good carpenter never ... LOL:-D :-D
There’s plenty of public courses that have super low monthly membership cost. Obviously does depend where you’re at though. Some memberships are less than $50 a month which pays for itself after 1 round of golf.
It’s these videos that I enjoy most. The random full set from a store and then playing with them. Should do it and then play a tournament with them lol.
Wow those are nice!!! I gotta get a membership to Costco!!!!! U were striping that driver and exceptional iron play, some beautiful little chip shots, and I really enjoyed watching. Thank u
Mr. Shiels, been a fan since about ever. Some of my favorite of your videos are you "box set videos". Not sure why, but I always watch those. My first set of clubs was a boxed set and I still have a place in my heart for the boxed set. Good stuff, young man. 👍👍
I bought this set last year when I started golf and they are great. I replaced the putter and bought the Cobra Stingray putter when it came out! And now I’ve improved, I’m looking to add a 60 degree wedge for this season
Chipped with a Kirkland Costco ball today, great back spin! A lob wedge is for really good golfers as what groove you hit on counts! Get a 56 and open blade up
Another great review Rick! This set looks to be very good. I agree with the addition of another wedge, and perhaps a longer iron for those trouble lies at distance. I'd like to see you test the gaps on the Quad with these, interested to see the numbers on these.
Rick, fun video. Not surprised you liked the Cobra set. Note I have something called Clear Shield films on every driver/wood/hybrid I own and sky marks are no issue. Covers top front of face just slightly if you apply them correctly. Got a package of them on Amazon. Helps a ton when I go to sell the clubs.
Great review! You make them fun to watch. I laughed out loud when you missed that last put, by leaving it short. We’ve all done it, so you can only laugh. Well done
I like these video's were the equipment is more ''low'' budget... Its cool to see all those big brands tested were the irons alone will cost you 2 grand new, but those i simply wont be able to get. Thnx for the review Rick!
Yes review Kirkland v2 coming up! I love the v1 still have two dozen left. This set is a great package for a beginner. I'm going to recommend to a friend who's starting this spring.
Another great Video Rick thanks. Help out a poor brother in Canada and donate those clubs - I'll cover shipping. Worth a shot. All the best and stay safe
Superb Rick, straight out of the box, your driving was superb, just the putter let you down, they are certainly a decent set of clubs, and you proved it, enjoyed that course, well set up.
Rick, you were CRUSHING IT out there! This is BY FAR the BEST SET of package clubs Ive witnessed you test. Ive been looking to get an EXTRA SET for possible company to sit next to mine in the garage. I REALLY like the LOOKS, and Ive always liked COBRA, my brother uses COBRA's. I hope TAYLORMADE will do a package set soon. Keep up the great playing and videos Rick. Maybe a PACKAGE SET PLAYOFF in the future??
Man that set seemed to be better then any box or online set you have tested including those over priced Stix. Plus that driver was brilliant and even with the possible few yards short of the big names like Stealth and Apex it seemed to be far more accurate. That putter grip out of the box was a bummer but you could easily return them for another box or have it reset for a few buck or even readjust it yourself with some minor heat.
I have recently gotten the golf itch again thanks to my 12 year old wanting to learn the game. I've been hitting all your video's beside him so we are both learning. I was a weekend hack and hope type of player so your video's are definitely appreciated. Keep them up! Great work! Been looking at this exact set and the cobra fly set. Any ones just lying around....Tennessee in the US would be an amazing home for them.
You have actually gotten better on your channel since even two years ago! And you were already tops. Plus, I can understand your French accent now as it became clearer 😁
Another great video Rick, I did notice in Costco they also have the phi golf would love to see just a fun video of it as it looks like a lot of fun with the family
I just bought this set today. First shot with the driver, same feeling like you did. Same result. After that, I shanked every shot. Not that the set is not good. It was all on me. LOL!
Love how you can give any equipment a fair shot. Most people would see a package set, $500 and look for any reason to call it trash. Thanks for always giving a fair and unbiased review.
Next week the drivers head goes farther than the ball. These definitely must be knock offs
@@terrythomas790 that or we are all just used to being massive over charged for anything "branded"
@@liam1666 👍
I mean it's good enough! Like most high cap and beginner this is enough
@terrythomas790 thats funny, the only driver i ever had the head fly off was a cobra f6 driver several years back and it was after 1 game a week for about 3 months. Never hit the ground with it and took care of it, just one day flew right off further than the ball.
If Rick is like us, he went into Costco just for a good deal on golf clubs, and left with an additional $700 in groceries and a bbq he didn't need.
Every. Single. Time. It's worse than Target!
lol, 100%
I just went for toilet paper and left with those clubs...
Now that's funny...true...but still funny!
I went for some jeans, and left with 3 litres of pesto, a birthday cake and a jetski.....the jeans are still in costco
Watching Rick play golf is just very relaxing. I would love to see the Break 75 series or some sort of similar actual play series make a comeback.
It's cold! Pretty sure we'll see more as it gets warmer.
Always love that loud laugh after a straight driver shot 😄
Can't wait for the Kirkland v2 review, I can't even order the v1s in Toronto any more. I'm hoping the v2s are not a downgrade.
no, i think the V2 is better, pretty near to pro v1 actually
Just go to Costco they have them at every warehouse right now. Leaside Costco and the Costco in Markham I’ve bought them at both locations in the past few weeks
V2s are apparently worse. Txg did a review and they found the v2 are higher spin
@@joek6590 Not always a bad thing. They seemed to spin really well on wedges, no?
@@joek6590 high spin isnt a bad thing . Spin creates flight and speed. But it does hurt accuracy because the worst you hit it the further it will fly.

Always enjoy Rick's videos. For us average or below golfers, he tries the stuff we might buy and I appreciate that.
Rick gotta say I’m loving the extra edits being done and the graphics added. Awesome job.
One thing I like about watching Rick and his show is that he keeps it real. Meaning, he shows his good and bad shots when he could edit them he shows them. Thank you Rick for be an upstanding individual with your show.
This is Rick at his best,reviewing random stuff!
Rick driving better than ever: “Not right for me”
this got me dead lolll
Haha "hit some fairways" had a 10/10 fir
He's always going for the latest, longest drivers in his bag instead of going for consistency lol
@@yani0728 Right, it's a bit annoying imo. But he does what he's comfortable w/
@@yani0728 Well he gets paid by brands to use them so whatever is paying best is in the bag.
That driver looks like it could be in your bag soon. You're hitting it straight, and you seem to be getting good distance with it. Maybe 10° with a regular flex shaft could be your new specs!
It's a package driver, he likely won't.
One thing I really like about rick is that his videos are so pure, so raw, there's no clipping so that it makes him look much better. Like at the end, the video would probably turn out better as a whole if the ball would go in, but the way Rick's doing it is so pure and real and he never fakes anything.
just by the way Rick was hitting that driver, forget the Ping, Callaway, Taylormade's drivers, he was hitting bombs. He found his new driver!
I’ve been watching this channel for years and years… I think this is the best I’ve ever seen Rick play. Put them in the bag!
I thought the same thing. Of course ego will not allow Rick to game these clubs but if it was all about the end number he’d play them with a different putter.
Extremely similar to the cobra fly xl package you tested a little while back. I brought that set last summer and love them!I got a cobra 60° as well, reduced from 35+ down to a 13 hcp and only now looking to upgrade the driver. Great content as always 👏
Your follow through and stance after, especially on Diver/3 wood is outstanding.
Rick center cuts every fairway with the driver. "It's not the driver for me."
9:01"right before I knock that in for birdie" 11:33 him knocking it in for birdie
Wonderful video Rick, love your reviews. So in your opinion, now that you have reviewed both Costco sets Cobra and the Callaway, which do you fancy out of the 2?
Literally my inspiration for doing better in golf and I’ve come a long way by myself over the past year.. Rick you are amazing dude..

I've been absent from your chanel for a while, coming back to this made me remember why i binge watched your videos as much as i did!
Rick, found out about your UA-cam channel from the PodCast you did with Claude Harmon. Loving the channel! Cheers
Awesome! Thank you!
The editing in this was AWESOME!! Keep up the great work!
Just goes to prove that if you’re a good golfer it doesn’t really matter what clubs you use.
HEY. That's not what a bad golfer like me wants to hear. :(
that’s true although this past season i went from a 12 handicap to a 6 after getting all brand new clubs but maybe it was all the practice and lessons haha
@@richardnavratil9661 it can be if you're broke like me
@@vladicgrabot6019 well done mate, that's a big drop in handicap
True but, I will say after switching from a blade putter to a mallet putter, my short game has significantly improved.
really like the new graphics in the editing (the birdie/bogey/par flame effects and the tee shot information.)
Thanks Rick for your videos, last year I played golf in high school and went to districts, and we got there because your videos helped me learn more about how to hit it straight, so thank you for helping out someone

I am looking forward to your review on the new Kirkland golf ball model. Great collaboration by Costco and Cobra and thanks for bringing this to everybody's attention.
Love that you totally own your mishits. Didn't blame the clubs for any shortcomings in swing or contact. Kudos!
Costco is underrated!
Tru Dat
Always love the honesty of your videos not just on the clubs but the comedy of the missed shots. Another great video mate

For the second shot on 3, you wanted a 4 iron. The hybrid in that set is about the same loft as your T100 4 iron. Why not with that over the 3 wood?
seemed windy. 3 wood likely lower ball flight than the hybrid? Had the same reflection, but that was my thinking.
Loving the extra graphics, very smart and gives the video so much more colour! Rick shiels yet again pushing the boundaries of you tube golf!
So whatvis the verdict between the Cobra xl speed, and the Calloway edge? Which one did you prefer?
This is exactly what I’d like to know as well lol
I still use a cobra melbourne 1 putter from 2003. I dont see myself swapping it anytime soon. Thanks for the video Mr Shiels. Entertaining as always
These Package sets look great - for beginners or players with limited budget. Costco is about to open their first NZ store later this year. It'll be interesting to see if these, and the Balls, are available.

Pete would be proud of that incredible driver off the deck! Another banger of a video Rick!
Feel like for the target market they wouldn't need a lob wedge but actually another long club like a 4 hybrid or 3
i would want down to 5 iron to sw
A 23 degree is more a 4 hybrid than a 5 hybrid.
@@sathyasubramanian5622 True, I guess my point would be that first time golfers or beginners might just need more long distance clubs over a lob wedge
Gotta say, production of these videos is top level. Very entertaining.
Couple of million golfers out there trying desperately to stop skying the driver......here's Rick doing it on purpose!
Fantastic video !!! Would you take the Costco Cobra XL or Costco Edge club set ?? If only had one choice of clubs.
Rick, anyone buying a £480 set of clubs at Costco should definitely not have 60º wedge in their bag.
