I specialise in golf equipment reviews, golf instruction & I play against some of the best golfers in the world!
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!
Been playing my whole life and between 6-8 hcp. Fresh out of college and broke and needed some new wedges. Took a gamble on Kirkland and blown me away. Whole set cost as much as one vokey wedge and well worth it.
“blown me away” does not look good after that “fresh out of college.”
Rick reviewing wedges is like Stevie Wonder reviewing darts
😂😂😂
I laughed, but he's not really that bad. He'd crush 99% of the people in the comments.
@@erickorff1919 that’s why it’s just bants
Hahahhahaha
😂😂😂
When Rick takes us on the KIRKLAND truck tour on the HIT channel, I'll be sold. 🤘😎
It'll be in the Costco parking lot and he'll get a hotdog from the concession stand.
@@AustinLindstrom 🤣. Or a sausage roll 😁
I have said it before but I think Kirkland stuff is the best value on the market. And it's mainly because they don't do fittings, sponsor pros, have buses that travel with the pros, or gove away thousands of sets for reviews.. and all the other expenses the big named brands have. Those expenses are related in the prices we pay for the top brand stuff, they have to recoup all that expense and mark up their pirces
I’m curious about what actual manufacturing costs of golf clubs are? Certainly the big part of their cost is what they can be sold for after the hype.
@ChiefCowpie I saw an article by someone a while ago, called golf spy, or my golf spy. I can't remember. I have no idea how accurate they were and sure its now out of date, but. They broke down the cost of a $500 driver into its raw materials and manufacturing. it worked out to around $100 total. This didn't account for carbon fibre additions, shipping, advertising or anything else. Just the cost of the processed raw materials, everything from head to grip, and how much the actual $500 dollar driver in question would have cost to make. Retail outlets would then pay a mark up to the manufacturer, which they then mark up again to sell to us.
@@ChiefCowpieI work in the industry. I’ll give you one price. A premium raw wedge by us, head only, costs $25.
I've had my Kirkland wedges for 3 years now. Love them.
Having some actual grind to the back of the soles while still being wider and higher bounces is massive for allowing players to save money and still have some good versatility!
Really enjoyed this one. Good to see Kirkland doing well. The big manufacturers need to take note for the retailside of business. 👏👏
V2 looks sooo much cleaner. The writing and all
I have been playing the Kirkland wedges for over two years and love them. I used to use a 54 degree Callaway around the green but the 56 Kirkland is now my go to wedge. I rarely miss a green with these wedges. If you are in the market for wedges these are absolutely worth a strong look. I don't think I will be buying the new ones as the ones I have are excellent.
@@JimHaysTechGeek you are so right. The average golfer should use 56 or 58 degree wedges not 60 around green.
@@Lovetheducks I rarely use the 60. If I am in a greenside bunker and the pin is close then I might use the 60. But mostly it stays in the bag.
my 60 degree costco wedge is my best club by far. just so reliable
Dan Grieve has done some great work with your short game! Technique looks great, it would be cool to get an update on where you are at with his coaching!
In the box they looked black and I was extra excited. Still looks great
I thought the same.
Bought the Gen 1 wedges 18 months ago and they work a treat. Feel, spin and workability is brilliant, matched with a £150 price tag making them such good value.
Bought some of the old ones last year or so. Took to the driving range immediately and first swing with the 56° I hit the centre of the 100m sign I was aiming it. Approved!
I adore my Gen 1, got them as a Christmas present last year and won't look anywhere else. Genuinely bring me so much joy, so great job from Costco/Kirkland Signature. And good on Rick, as I wouldn't have known anything about them if he hadn't tested them
They should be sponsoring you at this stage 😂😂
They probably are.
@@kevinkanzler495I doubt Costco cares enough to sponsor a CZcams
@@kevinkanzler495 true that…
I so appreciate that you have put this series out!! The main takeaway for me is that for much of the clubs on the market is the old adage that it has a lot to do with the player and not the club. However, I’d be lying if I didn’t acknowledge that many of the top manufacturers have higher quality materials and much more science and engineering in their products than Kirkland may have at their disposal. Great video and great content!! Thank you sir!
I would agree but are people buying based on performance or to show off their fancy toy? if it was performance "science" then the price doesn't match...
Thanks Rick. I want to start playing golf but its expensive even at that price to get started nevermind the season fee for a public course but I'll keep grinding. Thanks for the motivation.
Keep a lookout for second hand clubs online and start playing 9 holes later in the day which is usually 50% less. Good luck!
@@TheStallion234 Thanks mate.
@@Disciple_Craig If you haven't seen them before, Rick and Pete Finch have a great series over the years called the Golf Bidder challenge where they build sets completely of second hand clubs. They go to show you that you don't need to spend a ton.
@@TheStallion234 I've came across them but haven't watched them yet, I'll give them a check after I watch the video I'm on now with Rick vs Justin Rose . Thanks again.
Buy everything used. Golfers are notorious for selling everything they have every couple of years and getting new stuff which means there’s a lot of good stuff on the used market for cheap.
I purchased these as the first clubs in my bag and OMG. I couldn't be more happy. I'm enjoying them MORE and MORE. Such a great price, they look great, feel great. I've tried other more PREMIUM brands, they feel the exact same.
I've just stumbled across a package set I'd love to see reviewed, from B&Q of all places! It's called:
Costway Mens 9 PCS Complete Golf Club Set Includes 460cc Alloy Driver Right Handed
rick someones cut your beard too high 😅
Too low u mean 😅
It seems to have helped his chipping tho...hahaha
beard strap looking funky af
Hey Rick - loving the channel, new to golf here. I have an idea for a game format for you - 2 v 2, matchplay for 9 holes. One team is a Tour Pro and a Scratch Golfer. The other Team is a Scratch Golfer and a high handicap amateur, HOWEVER the tour pro and the HH amateur can only take one shot per hole, strategically chosen as your play through!
I switched to all Costco clubs available balls gloves etc. hung up my $3500 set to prove a point to everyone I play with. Golf fittings lie angle grips shaft torque all this BS is just that for 99% of all golfers. It’s a way to maximize profits. The consumer fell for it. I play to scratch and haven’t lost anything when comes to scoring. I do use the old wedges wasn’t aware of these new ones
Stop the Cap
Mia since you are a scratch, will you marry me?? I am a 7 so I hope not to bring you down. Just curious what $3500 set did you hang up? I am playing Cobra 3D LIMIT3D , that's how they spell it and love them.
Onlyfans link incoming. Let’s see how many fall for this!!
@@darrenallinson8147 The link is already there!!!!
I’ve been checking to see if those wedges have been in stock daily. Haven’t gotten my hands on them yet but I will.
I bought these Wedges a few months ago, been very happy with them so far. They have held up very well and they are easy to clean and they wont scratch. I guess we will see in 5 years but so far they are pretty good
Lots of us are wanting to see ya do a review on The Best Direct To Consumer golf iron- the Maltby TS3 iron
I bought the first version clubs 2 years ago, and my set of 3, are some of my favorite clubs in my bag now to be honest. They feel great, and are very comparable to premier clubs
Wish the set had a PW and skip the 60 lob wedge. My opinion is handicappers over 5 should not use or need a lob wedge. So a PW, 50 & 56 would be my set. Would prefer full face pack of just two wedges for same price as 3 now. Fair.
I bought the gen 1s as soon as they came out. Small complaints:
-the sole definitely needed some grinding to allow more versatility and play of bounce. I’m glad Gen 2 has addressed this.
-the grip looked misaligned so I’m hoping they fixed that too
Will I buy this? Seeing how my gen 1 clubs are now 4 years old, and they now have grinded soles, probably yes.
Do it, you’ve earned them 🎉
I love how costco has come to the golf game and shown the big brands that good clubs shouldn't cost an arm and a leg!! My only concern is how well they last? I don't know how you'd test that though
Actually put these in the bag last fall and really have loved having them in play!
There's my new wedges right there! I came across the original Kirkland wedges kinda by accident on the hunt for new wedges years ago, they've been in my bag since but I was gonna get them regripped and I feel the grooves have deteriorated slightly so a no brainer to buy these! Unreal value
I've been using the V2's in my bag for a while now, and I gotta say: they feel and perform as good as my old vokey's did.
Saved over $300 not having to buy new wedges.
You should test out maltby TSW forged wedges. They are even more of a bargain than these at 45 with basics shafts but you can also upgrade shafts for not much more if you feel inclined and also have the lengths adjusted for free. An absolute value proposition.
Its good to see that companies can put out wedges at lower prices without losing performance, i play taylor made mill grind and have gone down to 2 wedges a 54 and 58 as the cost of them are insane, I took my set into gap then just buy 2 as the mg are £189 each if i can get a deal. Replacing them once or sometimes even twice a year adds up. I will consider these in the future as i can get 3 wedges for cheaper than 1 i already looked at lazarus but they are non conforming a lot of people have told me so i never bothered.
Any golf clubs Rick presents are amazing and the ones to go for. 😅😅😅😅
I was needing a 60 and because of reviews and price I got these. They’re amazing for the price.
I really enjoy my old version Costco wedges but I must admit the new lettering is really nice as the one negative on my current wedges after two years is that finding the numbers are somewhat hard to differentiate in my bag. Old eyes and all.
I have the gen 1's, only thing I didn't like was the grip feels so thin. Upgraded them to some thicker ones and love these. I may get these and give them a go
I love my Kirkland wedges. Perform perfectly for my handicap
I have the gen1 wedges and they are fantastic! Very reliable distance and spin. They just feel good too.
My only big complaint about the gen 1 was the lack of sole relief when you try to open the face on the lob wedge. The leading edge sat way too high, and instantly made me think I'm going to blade it. This 60 looks quite a bit better. Well done Kirkland!
I have played with these for one round. What I think is if you don’t have or want to spend a lot of money on wedges there is absolutely no reason not to play with these. They are amazing wedges. Golfers know Kirkland makes great clubs and aren’t gimmicks. If you are worried what people will think when seeing them in your bag don’t be. There new irons are fantastic. Haven’t died the driver yet but on videos it looks cool. It’s just nice to know you can save money and not worry about out quality.
You make the best reviews on irons and clubs because you always address all of the questions we have as viewers whether or not the clubs are good purchases or not. The way you chipped in every kind of situation and also compared them to the older model was absolutely perfect of a review. I think you should start doing more putter reviews on real grass as well. Gives better feedback and accuracy.
I've got to be honest, I'm hoping Kirkland put a full set together in the near future. Woods, Irons, Wedges and the Putter all in one set. I'm sure they could whip a half decent bag up, chuck in a box of balls and probably all still cheaper than a half set of Irons from one of the big boys. £1099, you heard it here first haha :))
Kirkland sells some pretty badass bags if I’m not mistaken. Otherwise, they sell some badass brands for cheap lol
Biggest miss with these clubs is that they didn't create a golf brand. Nothing looks worse than seeing "Kirkland Signature" on the back of the club. Just create ANY brand and make it a golf brand. Would sell so many more.
Costco is proud of the Kirkland Signature name. The wedges play great and the value is INSANE. They are cheap in price only, not quality. Golf is way too expensive and maybe 10% of the golfing population could tell the difference between Kirkland wedges and Vokeys by how they play. Golf Snobbery is most definitely a real thing.
Serious golfers would know any name that is a Costco brand. Remember Nicklaus played with clubs much worse than these.
@@Barneyrubble241 I play Lazrus wedges, and my entire bag is
@@Barneyrubble241👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I couldn't agree more, well said.
What I did notice hugely, was the massive improvement and professional look of Rick's short game technique.
It looks really great Rick 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bought these about 3 weeks ago and what great value for money and they look and feel great 👍👍
The Kirkland wedges (at least V1 for sure) are made by the same design group that make the Indi wedges that you used to use.
I am new to the channel and have really enjoyed your content. I appreciate the mix of games, instruction and general shenanigans. Keep it coming!!!!
Great review as usual Rick!!
Also good to see Keith Richards practicing his short game in the background!!
Love my Kirkland wedges!
I play the Kirkland irons they’re not coming out of the bag anytime soon I love them I have vokey wedges wish I had these one wedge is the price of 3 of these
Didn’t they just basically rip off P790’s from Taylormade? That was a good pickup by you!
@@CWP_1993 pretty much I picked them up off eBay for like 600 (now there going for 800-1000 USD) because they were taken off the shelves due to the lawsuit they are my first set of clubs that weren’t used I play a lot like 2-3 times a week and they’re fantastic it’s better than paying 1100-2000 for a set of irons that work just as good
Have you reviewed the Wilson Harmonized wedges yet? Even less expensive than the Kirkland. Amazon has the list price at $60 USD but the are ALWAYS on sale for $30-$40 USD. As a budget conscious high handicaper, I find the Harmonized wedges very servicable.
These always look so good when im in Costco. I’m often very tempted to throw them in the bag
Damn thats a good deal. I love what Costco is doing they're proving you can get good clubs and they can be affordable.
I think wedges and maybe some new woods are the last thing my bag needs at this time. I am certainly not opposed to Kirkland wedges.
Rick, perhaps do a full head-to-head between the two gens of Kirkland?
This is such refreshing and unique content, never seen this type of thing before
These wedges look so much better! Definitely will think about checking them out when i need a new set
I’m more convinced these are produced by Callaway… the driver resembles the old Callaway Optiforce driver, had the same shaft as the original Callaway Mavrik retail driver as well. Irons are more unique, the wedges have a very very similar font and format on the toe to the MD5 wedges and the putter just always resembled a standard Odyssey putter… I always check them out when in Costco and they all look extremely well made.
Love your reviews of new products. This review is making me want to get a membership to Cosco to get a set of these wedges..
Rick you need to come try to break 75 at my local course I bet you will struggle on this beautiful Montana golf course
I work at Costco, so I would really like to give these a shot. These new ones are pretty sexy, but I'm a 54°, 58°. But they do look real nice!!
I’ve had the v2 wedges for like a year and they are elite.
I just got these, I love them.
Watched the qualifying round. I am convinced that you would greatly benefit from a sports therapist and work on positive thought exercises. Your putting is much improved. Chipping still needs a bit of retooling. Im rooting for you man. I am confident that you can achieve it. ✨️
Just got these. If anyone says they aren’t worth it is a liar!
Change the grips and you’ll be set. Love them! So close to Vokey’s
I was thinking about picking these up. I wanted the hi toe but these seem to perform just as good
had the wedges in my bag for a few years now, highly recommended
Good looking quality equipment at great prices
I think their biggest issue at this point is gapping. 45° PW to their 52° Gap Wedge. Probably would need to pick up an additional Wedge and have it at 48 or 49°
WOW, that's a great looking club ❤
I have one vokey and 2 taylormade m grind 3s. I much prefer the feel of the TM as they feel softer than the Vokey, i think the vokeys are too clicky, so I'm thinking about selling on and getting another tm. If the grooves were wearing out on all 3, I'd definitely consider the Kirklands
I would buy them just on your recommendation alone, looks like I’m heading to Costco
Kirkland golf clubs prove time and time again that it’s not always the technology, but the story that you pay for. Performance, feel, looks, etc all come down to preference. But at the end of the day paying 600 dollars or 200 dollars on a new driver won’t make you play any better😂 might have to consider Kirkland irons for my new set. Looking to upgrade soon
Who won the full set of Kirkland irons?
I liked the previous Costco wedges, but still thought they could look better. But these new ones are gorgeous, I’d black out the red 👌🏼 I wonder if you could blast them to a raw finish 👀
@@mattrichards3070 looks don’t matter if they work! 🤷🏻♂️
@@andybt3989 this is true. But I just like aesthetics, it makes me love the clubs more.
Yea I have these Kirkland wedges and I regripped them but they are great
I like my kirkland sand wedge plus I don't feel as bad scratching them up in sand.
I have a pair of cheapo MacGregor 52 and 60 wedged.. They have transformed my short game from diabolical to decidedly average. You certainly don`t need to pay a fortune to improve your golf.
Found some Kirkland balls on the course the other day. Will give them a try
New to golf but these look good
Could be wrong but it looks like they added 2 degrees of bounce on the 60. I think the old models had 8 degrees and these have 10, good change imo
Love it Rick! Keep it up.
yo rickdog i finna watched you hittin dem golf stickz for 5 yearz now and i alwayz get a stiffy every damn time brother keep on keepin it real with the hood and never let the haterz bring u down white boy
That was a sensational review video. Well done, you.
Wish I knew people in the UK to get these or the Irons. Nothing here in the States
The Dan Grieve lessons are paying off for Rick
Rick, we are long overdue my man. California awaits you! I want to see Pebble, Harding, Olympic, Pasatiempo, Torrey Pines!
i would absolutely give these a try!
Think they will get into the driving iron market Rick? Seen this from Macgregor for exmaple. Any reviews of their more entry level stuff coming???
Rick, I am going to switch to Kirkland golf balls. The value can't be beat.
Great review again honestly feel these should be in your bag
The irony of Rick Shiels doing a short game test is excellent!
Would've liked to have seen full shots on the course though.
I'm beginning to think that Kirkland Signature clubs are some sort of practical joke against me. I've never seen them in a Costco and they're always sold out online.
I think you should do a temu club set review
Spanish guy here. The translation from wedge set to "juego de cuñas de golf" makes no sense, it's the literal translation but nobody calls the wedges "cuñas" 😃- Besides that I wish they were available in spain
Top lad, proper clobber
Facts from Mr Pearce! Rick Shiels = Top LAD Proper Clobber!
These are nice. My question is how important is wedge gapping? I have 49-54-59 now and they are fine. If I were in the market could I just get 52-56-60 without testing? is that that much difference?
They need to release the whole set as a package
