    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.

    Thanks for the motivation that I've gotten this year. I have been retired from the US Army for 15 years now and my body was so broken I never thought I'd find passion to do anything. After watching you I borrowed some clubs from my nephew and started heading to the range. I suck of course but, then again, I've not played golf since 1990 and only played 3 or 4 rounds total in my life. So I'm out there with 23+ year old Ping Zing 2 white dot irons but I'm out there. At 57, I see that as a pretty big step. I may never get very good(I live out in the country no place within 50 miles for lessons)but I want to thank you for showing me that golf isn't perfect but just a way to strive for perfection knowing that no one is perfect. Enjoy all the videos. Take care and God Bless!

Can’t wait til the spring to get out there again!

    This super hybrid is aimed for people who do not master the driver.
    They maigh do 180 with a driver, and maybe 175 with this hybrid, but more consistently.
    I know it is not the concept of your channel, but having such a guy included in your test would be interesting for me.

    I’ve enjoyed your content since I first discovered your videos a couple of years ago. You keep things pertinent but do it in such a way as to be entertaining. I like the way that you test clubs. Unbiased and very truthful. This particular club may work better for a high handicapper since you hit your driver so well. If someone is struggling with their driver, it may be something as simple as not being able to control the length of the club. This one, being shorter, should give be easier to hit leading to more distance. Keep up the great videos, Rick!!

    Great video, Rick. I have a 4 hybrid (22*). Not the most confident with it off the deck, but I do find I'm more consistent/confident with it off the tee than a 4 or 5 iron. But where I really like it is "putting" from the fairway/fringe around the green. Very versatile club.

    I had a titleist hybrid and I could not hit it at all. Went to play it again sports just to see what they had. Found a Taylormade Rocketballz 4 hybrid 22 degree stiff, and it truly changed my game. Got it after trade In (which they give you hardly anything) for $22! I’ve had it in my bag for about 3 years now. I’m not a long hitter my avg is maybe 245 yards off the tee a good one with roll I can get 260 yards. I guess that’s ok distance but my buddies I play with are always 15-20 yards in front of me lol I hit my five iron approx. 170-175 yards. Anything over my five iron I use my 4 hybrid and I seem to always hit it well. Hardly spray it left or right, goes high, and is solid. It’s my go to for 185-200 yard shots. It does take a minute to get use to compared to irons in my opinion but it’s great. Only down side I’ve seen is on windy days. It flies high and wind can really chew it up. The other day I playing winds were gusting 15-20 mph very blustery day. I had about 192 yards in on a hole. Wind in the face, I struck it well but it ended up 15-20 yards short of the green. On that shot I prob would have been better to club up or try to hit my 5 irons lower and case onto the green

    Great video as always. Hybrid drive are great to have in my opinion. My driver is a hybrid driver that is a 230cc head at 23 degrees like that club. The other difference is that I can increase the shaft length by 1.5 inches longer than that club, 2 degrees stronger. But still can hit the ball constantly off the tee or the ground. My Thomas golf custom built 13 degree 230cc driver is awesome and I recommend that you give it a try when it comes to comparing to that club

The Teton is not a bad club, but it's not a three-wood replacement for me, and it's certainly not a driver. I took Rick's advice and got a lesson on my driver.

I'm certainly more comfortable with my fairway wood though. I bought the Teton because my driver and I have a fraught relationship, and I love my hybrids, which I hit well.

    This intrigues me. I can hit irons and hybrids pretty solid but I tend to slice with my driver. Some days I’m good and hitting 250-275 and other days I cant hit straight. Not wanting to spend $200 I bought a used #2 hybrid 16 degree for about $40. I hit it straight but still only carries around 200 yards or so and maybe 215-220 with roll at best. Not exactly a driver replacement. I’m better off hitting my 3 wood which for some reason I hit straighter than my driver off the tee. Still tends to travel to the right more than I like.

    Hi Rick. If you check, this club is a throwback to earlier "Driving Irons" from the mid 90's. I have a Dynacast driving iron, 15 dg of loft that looks exactly the same as this club. There was a host of others from that era that also look very similar to this club. Nothing new!

    Have to say Rick. Any time I need to play tactically in a match play with a mate and slightly nervy on a tee I go for my hybrid. Hit it consistently good. I find myself struggling on my longer irons so for me on a long par3 I just take a bit of my hybrid

    This is someting similar to the Nickent's 4DX Utilities (UTs), which are wood-esque lofted and shaft length; but in a more compact and heavier, hybrid shape. I have in my bag both 3 (15 degrees) and 5 (19 degrees). Actually I'm letting my driver at home, and these two babies are making my life easier: the 3 one is my off the tee choice, because I win tons of confidence, because It's damn easy to hit, and it flies damn straight, or a slight pull or push in the worst cases: no weird slices; and the 5 one is my choice off the ground. I love them, because they're part of my arsenal to break 100, after 5 years of no playing, and broke it just once.

    I just bought one of these babies on the used club rack at my local golf course. It was dirt cheap. Saw the ad as well. Thought what's to loose. I took it out for a spin and was shocked at the distance consistently off the turf 200 + yards.. It's going in my bag. This was one time for me at least the advertisement was spot on.

    I ordered one based on this review. I can't hit my driver, so I've left it out of my bag and relied on a Callaway Rogue three wood for the long shots. My Teton came in today. I dont' feel that it's hitting longer than the fairway wood, but the dispersion might be better. It certainly feels good when I hit the center of the face, but every club is that way. The jury is out on the club. I know if I keep it I will change the grip. This one feels squishy and left black on my hands.

    I have this club Rick Shields and I hit it a mile. I love it, of course it's not going to hit as long as a driver. It is not designed to do that. It is for older people who cannot get around as fast as they used to and for people like you said who can't hit their drivers. Well it is still a nice club. I hit it. The ball went dead straight every time I hit it even off the toe I liked it. I think it's a great club, not a gimmick

    Edit: Also bought it because my brother doesn't hit Woods at all but will hit hybrids so wanted him to have something closer to a driver. Haven't played with him recently but hopefully he'll like it. Otherwise, he's still hitting the random 14.5­­° Adams Speedline hybrid I bought!

  • @thecringegolfer
    @thecringegolfer 4 роки тому

    Never been a fan of hybrids myself. I mainly use a hybrid as a rescue/punch out club. But once in a while I will hit my old callaway S2H2 hybrids on a short par 4 or out of a long fairway and hit a nice long shot that will make me second guess not using it more. But what I have been wondering about, is what if they put today's tech in the same size head they used in like the old metal woods? I think that would be neat!

    Hey Rick - caught the podcast about the way way way way way way overhyped professional club fitting process. I don't see anywhere to comment on it so I thought I'd open up the discussion here and see if it catches any interest. Some interesting thoughts about getting fit for clubs - specifically irons. Full disclosure, I've never had a fit - but have been thinking about going to TXG in the spring....I'm just outside of Toronto and they are quite local to me.
    The discussion seemed to be specifically geared towards fitting irons - and I get what you guys were saying to a certain degree. I guess it depends on the quality of the fitter that you go to and how much you as the client want to drive the bus - and also what services the fitter offers. Based on watching a great deal of TXG's content here is my expectation of what I'd get from going for a fitting - specifically for irons first and then the rest of the bag.
    There are 2 parts to the iron fitting and TXG offers them separately - I guess to help make the pricing look better...but for me they should be done as 2 parts of the proper fit. The first part is the actual choice of club head and shaft. Here the club fitter watches you hit your existing set - they listen to your contact and ground interaction and also at the launch characteristics, club data etc. They suggest some heads and shafts to try out and provide details about how you were hitting each (like you said with the 7 iron). Together you arrive at a proper head and shaft combination that suits your swing to give you the best and most consistent shots. Part 2 is a gapping session...here you hit all of the clubs once they are made with the actual shafts - they go through each club and adjust the lie angle and if necessary loft to ensure that you have proper gapping from club to club through the entire set from driver to putter - so this speaks to the aspect of set composition as well.
    In terms of fitting Driver, fairway metals or hybrids....It seems to me that here the shaft and what head you select can both play a huge role in what your launch and spin will look like. When you're spending $500+ on a driver and $300+ on fairway metals....it seems like a no brainer to spend another couple hundred give or take to have clubs that are set up more specifically to your needs. It is probably worth the fitting fee just to go and have a place to try out all of the drivers (or other woods/hybrids) and get some meaningful feedback on which will suit your game better. The shaft fitting is like icing on the cake.
    Or maybe it's all hogwash and I'm getting duped from watching too much of their content....🤣🤣
