Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This CZcams 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.
Hit LIKE if you are a long time viewer and know ‘old bluey’
Rick Shiels Golf do you want to play someday Mr. Shiels.
You cannot swap old bluey. That's illegal😂!
I have that same club because of you Rick.
True
So, if you don't see said club out perform, can you give away the clubs that don't out perform something you already have?
Class Rick . . . I loved that you kept the duff shots on the film. There is hope for us all !
Happens to the best of the best
He’s human!!!!!! Take him off that pedestal nowwwwww lol
@@joeb2241 I know I know . . . just being awestruck now he is playing with Robbie !
I was just about to say that! You can totally tell other channels cut out over half their shots.
Thanks for being a sport and leaving in the topped shot! I do that often with my 3 wood...makes feel a little better knowing even someone of your ability does that from time to time!
Isn’t that what your meant to do with a 3 wood??
Rick: Puts two terrible swings on it. This club hasn't performed well so far.
Josh T haha true but keep watching...
Best bit is, people buy into that.
5:58 is a slice off the planet
@@Rehle94 Only people with a short attention span so short they couldn't wait a few minutes for a full comparison based on good hits with both clubs.
@@casualguy393 *FULL* comparison. See we have different thoughts on that.
4:30 I thought it was the tee flying to the left. LOL
Had a good chuckle at that!
"would you like to see a review of that?" - Who's he kiddin'? We're all on lockdown. We'll watch anything.
Absolutely, lol

Who TF hits a 2 Iron for safety?
Rick Shiels: Hold meh pint...
I use a 3 iron myself lol
what’s a 2 iron?
@@cynt1111 🤦♂️
@@cynt1111 basically it’s a iron with very low loft
A lot of 2 irons are driving irons meant for good forgiveness
4:30 I love how you leave shots like this one in, just to show that even PGA Pros hit hacker level shots once in a while
🤣😂😂🤣 The Anticipation and motivating music before you hit that Tour edge 3 wood had me cracking up! One of the best topping of a golf ball I've ever witnessed!
1:52 Thought you were going for the van😂🤣
4:33 Respect for keeping that in. I would have deleted that immediately.
10:11 Old bluey not messing around.
My “Old Bluey” is a driver, and while I’ve tried several other drivers over the past few years, the F7 old bluey is still in the bag. My 3-wood, though, is an old original Rocketballz 15* that I just can’t let go. I don’t think even an F7 old bluey could wrestle that RBZ from its rightful place in my bag.
RBZ2 15* for me
I still have the burner from 07 in the 3 and 5 wood, just remains consistent for me while still having that small and compact head I prefer.
"It's not my favorite color in the world."
*Jumper is exact same color*
Kudos for keeping the first two shots in the video Rick. Have to say, I was rooting for Old Bluey, Cobra woods are criminally underrated.
"5 shots, 4 on the green" makes the putt, yep, keep Old Bluey in the bag.
Fairway woods are one of those clubs that you either love or hate! Stick to one you love Rick
Anthony Beresford some days it’s the best club in the bag the next day I want to throw it in the pond
Tell me about it.. I had a rzr 3 wood that just went far and straight. I had it on the back of my truck in a rush, drove off and lost it... over a year ago and still haven’t gotten over it lol
Why not put bluey up against the 3 cobra sz fairway woods available from today
Was anyone relieved when rick said:"It will not replace the old bluey"?
For sure! I would miss old Bluey!
Sz tour going in the bag eventually
I've been hitting Cobra fairway woods for years. I used to try other brands when looking for better performance, but always came back to Cobra. I still have a Biocell in my bag and it's staying. There is another one in the used shop nearby for cheap but looks hardly used. I might pick it up just in case.
No! I want him to put Old Bluey on eBay :)
QuaintNoobGamer YES! I somehow would have felt bad for it
I just gained even more respect and love for you Rick! The topped shot kept in is honest and relatable. Love your videos man have a good day!
Would love to see the review of the Touredge driver.
I've hit the HL4 a bunch, coworker won it in a tourney raffle. It, sounds like an old Nike Sasquatch square driver, massive metallic clang. Seems to hit okay but god what a noise.
Yeah I tried out a demo hl4 driver. Very easy to hit for me, but loud. I hit it on the range and then saw everyone there look over at me, but then one guys says, "nice shot"! I didn't buy it because of the sound. But the new exotic 220 driver is a bit different. Suppose have some sort of sound deadening stuff in there. And several tour of champions guys like them.
3:07 "I like the look of that wood"
That's what she said!
you read my mind Rev!
Bought a set of custom fitted tour edge irons and absolutely love them for my first set of custom irons plus they were cheap but great quality
I remember the par 10 challenge with old bluey. Kind of a love hate relationship.
Haha totally!
Rick, can you do a retro review on the legendary Exotics CB2 fairway wood? It is awesome long, and, I think, easier to hit than newer models.
Yes! This!
You (or Rick) are unlikely to find a CB2 fairway in any kind of decent shape, as the golfers who love it keep it and continue to play it. However the CBX fairways (including the CBX, CBX Tour, and CBX119) are designed to mimic the CB2 model (same shape, face height, etc.)
@@dougmael true, just would like to see how it compares to modern 3 woods. I have two of these guys. and if i could bomb it, I was wondering how someone with a great swing could really bomb it. the CB2, and the Titleist 980F 13* are the two longest i have ever hit.. even against modern 3 woods, however both are not as forgiving as my Rogue 15*. I am giving up yards for forgiveness. just saying.
@@andya2665 - Valid points, sir.
Old blue has an adjustable head and weight system. Rick "im pretty traditional when it comes to 3 woods" 😂
Add it’s blue.
@@credfouples5980 hahaha like ur name .... yeh and a previous review said how much he loved a Mizuno driver, but couldn't put it in the bag because it was blue. Not hating the guy .. i do like his genuineness and approach.
I carry a Tour Edge 4 wood and love it!!! Great ground interaction and feel!!
Thanks mike
Man, 3-4 years? My whole set is roughly 8 years old 😂😂 and I bought those used. I’m not good enough or rich enough to justify getting new clubs
New clubs are made for 3 types: Pros, YT content creators, and the rich...who suck.
@@gssong7111 😆
Good for you 👍🏻
Big myth. The worst golfers see the most benefits from equipment that fits them properly. Tour pros could swing a coat hanger. You need something fit for you not someone else
@@marclefebvre3903 Idk bro, I don't think 1,200 dollars worth of clubs is gonna make me an 80s golfer when I'm golfing high 90s right now... But if you're willing to pay for me to get a fitting to find out, let me know and I'll do it lol
I have an ‘ol bluey F7 in my bag and its my go to club. I have so much control and confidence in it. It does what I want it to do when I need it. And I don’t play it as much as I should. It’s my special club. When I pull it out of the bag I get that really good feeling that I would lose if I played it on nearly every hole. It’s money everytime. I can’t get anyone to bet with me when I have that club in my hand.
Most people take the game so seriously. For all of the videos I've watched of you playing individually and alongside Peter Finch, etc. I really like the fact that you can just laugh at yourself when you hit a bad shot every so often. Makes us average golfers realize that it's just a game and like in life, not everything goes perfectly. Keep hitting them long and straight Rick!
I’m looking for woods at the moment. I will also be topping my first shot. I can now claim it as official Rick Shiels testing method.
9778th 👍 is mine. Come on guys, we want to see the Tour Edge Exotics Driver !!! 😁
I love my Exotics 3 wood. I have had it as long as you've had Ole Bluey. Thanks for leaving that topped shot in, though. If I miss the 3 wood, it is for that reason.
Found a Cobra F7 3/4 Wood on Ebay and bought it. Got it... re-gripped it and set it to 16 degrees.... I played with it today and it performed flawlessly. So solid. Old blackey will be staying in my bag.
Rick do you have any advise to us.who is quarantine at this time and can't play golf
I agree I would love to see a video like that. Great video suggestion
Stay safe and hopefully you can get out there soon 👍💪
When you find a 3w that works, you hang on to them like grim death. I'm still gaming something from the same period as the F7 and I don't see changing for many years.
Yep, Henrik Stenson agrees (Callaway Diablo Octane Pro 3 wood)
@@rapidcat6113 He actually finally gave up the Diablo! Sure had a crazy run with it though.
The 12th is my favourite hole at Worsley, I've never hit the green with my tee shot but I have got it on the approach road to the hotel!
I've been wowed with my Cobra Fly Z 3/4 fairway wood set 15.5 since forever, and you been wowed with your Cobra f7 3/4 fairway wood ( old blue ) since forever and then this. Informative is informative with golf tech, thanks Rick.
"I love the look of that wood "
chris Pendleton ”that’s what she said...” 🤣
Yikes
i was scrolling through to see if someone else had already said it.... damn
he has to keep it pg lol
pause
Don’t change Old Bluey!!
I have been trying to find an old bluey but Rick made them so popular i cant find one at all.
Thank you for leaving that top in. Makes me feel so much better about my own game every time I see someone do that
Rick, I have been playing Tour Edge Exotics fairways and hybrids for at least 8 to 10 years, and I am so impressed that I became a Tour Edge Fitter/Dealer about three years ago (after a lot of questioning and a thorough qualification process by Tour Edge Golf). I just put the 16.5* Exotics EXS 220 high-lofted 3-wood (or 4-wood, if you prefer) in my bag a couple of months ago, and so far I like it a lot.
I’m not sure whether you are aware of this, but the Exotics fairways and hybrids have been in the bags of more than 50 top ten finishers on the PGA Tour Champions (a/k/a the Senior Tour) over the last three years, and Scott McCarron won several tournaments and the 2019 Charles Schwab Cup using Tour Edge clubs, primarily the fairway and hybrid clubs. This brand has also recently begun getting a bit of traction on the regular PGA Tour, with two top tens in the current 2019-2020 season. Most of the Tour Edge staff players have been using the “better-player” CBX line of clubs, but a few of them, including Tom Lehman and Duffy Waldorf, have switched to the EXS 220 clubs in 2020. In fact, Lehman won the first event on the Champions Tour in early 2020 after putting two EXS 220 clubs in his bag that week. The EXS 220 driver has also found its way into the bags of a few of the Tour Edge players on the senior tour.
I know that this is sounding like an advertisement for Tour Edge Golf, so I will stop now, but I think that the Tour Edge Exotics line of golf clubs represent not only a great bargain, but also some excellent-performing clubs.
4:24 😂.... Brilliant!
FINALLY a Tour Edge review! I have been waiting forever Rick!! Best underdog brand in golf!!
Keeping those misses and laughing about it is one ingredient in your videos that make them so good and relatable. Always great content. Thanks
Thanks for the review! I've waited for you to review TE for years! I've gamed the CB5 in the past but just got the 2019 EXS (not the 220...) offering, 3w/5w/4h/3h - so far hitting very consistent/accurate, but definitely I can find a longer club if I looked. Even my CB5s were longer, lower spinning with more penetrating flight, but I wanted a higher flight which EXS provide. Great bang for buck! Anyway, your channel has been my caddy for quite some time. Keep up the great work!
I had tour edges when I was like 8 and I truly didn’t know they made clubs like this...
When I think of Tour Edge I think of clubs you see at Wal Mart Big 5 sporting goods. 15 years ago thats where you would of seen them. I guess they have moved up and made better quality clubs
What’s crazy is I was like “all this hype he’s gonna top it” and bang😂
Hi Rick, I just started watching your CZcams channel. I have to say I have found your instructions easy to follow and with practice sessions they have improved my game. I have watched Complete guide to swinging irons and Driver and the final one was 4 steps to fixing your slice. I have watched Clay Ballard and he is just to much into technical that I went to the course with so much in my head that I could not swing well at all. Thank you.
4:25 this is my 3 wood experience, at least 85% of the time. It's so bad that I've removed it from my bag in favor of my hybrid 3 which isn't as far of a club, but produces good strikes and consistency that I just can't seem to get with my 3... yet. Maybe next season I'll figure it out.
Why does Rick get more spin with his woods thank I get with my wedges?!! 🧐
“quite traditional with 3 wood” that has all the adjustments of the modern driver that is. 😂😂.
I play the EX10 4 wood. Great club and versatile. Mind you I rarely hit it like Rick.😀
Hi Rick, new subscriber here. I have enjoyed your video's a great deal and can't wait to give some your recommendations a try! I love your approach to golf and how you take into account varrying skill levels into your reviews and tips. I would recommend your videos to anyone looking to improve their game!
Wow, nice finish💪
Can't Play in the quarantine😔
Michigan courses are open thank god

@@motorcityb8551 Thanks mate😁
Motorcity B too bad the weather is atrocious. What happened to 65 today!?
You should try the callaway epic flash fairway wood, I’ve heard it’s deadly
Milk men it is the best.
The sub zero
Trevor Stull u like that name 😂
Good to see a review of Tour Edge, I am a high handicapper, went from shooting over 100 to the low 90’s last year. My first set of new clubs are Tour Edge HL3. I was able to get a full set of Driver, fairway woods, irons and bag for $1100.00. I believe that for the cost, they are good clubs.
I have the Exotics EXS driver. And I love it. I’ve been using TourEdge clubs for a while. Great budget clubs but perform great!!
I like how Rick didnt edit the first two shots out
try the new cobra fairways they have the rails on the bottom just like the f7
Hi Rick,
thanks for leaving in the first 2 shots!! It would have been so easy to edit that out - this is why you have 3/4 of a million subscribers, you are an honest reviewer and we enjoy and rely on your frank opinion, Thank you.
Great video Rick. My F7 is still in the bag too- oldest club. Just gave the speedzone a chance but it wasn’t as good. Quest goes on.
Would you consider reviewing the Tour Edge blades? Cheers!
Hitting a club that good no matter how old, will never change it!
Never had a 3 wood Rick. You hit old bluey as far as I do my driver. I’ve got a ‘bluey’ of my own, my Cobra King F7 driver.. love it!
Took out my Callaway Rogue 3 wood because my F7 5 wood was doing just as well or better. Such a solid club that I often contemplate just buying the 3 wood off Ebay. I also love the sound. Ting!
Like the review, always been curious about tour edge. Old Bluey plays on
He does
I was so pumped when he said "it will not replace old bluey"
Yep I agree totally Rick. I have had an f-7 3 wood in my bag for almost 3 years also. It is the best 3 wood I have ever hit. I use it off the tee, for long second shots and I have even chipped with it a couple of times. Mine is in the bag for another season also.
Have a blue F7 5 wood (lil' bluey). Love it!!! Tried to purchase an F7 3 wood last year and couldn't find a new one. Ended up buying an F8 (nardo grey) instead. Different sound and feel. I prefer the F7. Glad you are keeping her in the bag.
"Hitting a 2 iron for safety" wha????
That's the different between a pga pro and us...
I do the same, a wood can go either left or right whilst a bad miss with a 2/3 iron is almost always in play.
@@BEARBEARRRRR depending on the hole and difficulty I'll just dial it back and play for bogey. Just have to be realistic with my abilities.
@@BEARBEARRRRR in my case usually a fifty yard top....
Yup. My 2 iron goes around 280 and dead straight 85% of the time. My driver goes 50 yards left to 250 yards right at anywhere from 25 yards to 310. Im teeing up with the 2 iron for now for safety as well lmfao.
TEE is money on their FW woods. Would see you in the cbx 119 over this.
srooch2 I agree. Or Rick could get a CB Pro F2. Mine is money.
@@brentninedorf6617 That stick was fire!
srooch2 Maybe Rick could get one for a second hand challenge. Got a 13.5 for $50 in good shape and a 17.5 5 wood new for $55 on the Bay. I need help in the top part of the bag and large fairways look way crazy to me. Got on with some XRail fairways about 5 years back.
I play the tour edge CB4 15 degree with the Oban purple x flex it’s about 8 years old and it is a beast so I can relate to old blue it’s all about your confidence when your over the ball stay with what works great video
Been pushing Tour Edge Exotics for several years, in my shop. Worked several regional demo days for that company. They make a very VERY quality club and have for years. This new Ex-S 220 is amazing. Just put the new driver in this week. The fairway wood gets the ball up in the air SO easily.
BLUE YOU’RE MY BOY!!! 😂
Things you can only say in golf, "I like the look of that wood."
Casey G -no homo doe 😂
That is the psychology of making sure you don't sky one and scratch the lovely look! That is my main weakness too and one we share because we like shallow fairway woods; it's scary easy to get underneath with that type of club.
I had an old MP001 3 wood in my bag for probably 8 years. Absolutely loved it and was never tempted away from it. Couple of years ago I got the Titleist 917 F2 and it is awesome! Probably keep that one for a good few years now! 3 woods tend to be less replaced I guess!
I got this club!!! And I love it
Bonus part about the tour edge clubs is life time warranty
Just got a full set of F7 hybrids and a wood basically because of your videos. Havent had a chance to hit them yet but I am excited to give them a rip.
Couldn't find F7 3w is reasonable condition. Bought F8. Thanks Rick. It's become a go to club in the bag. Never replace 'Ole Bluey!!! It made you CZcams Famous.
What about trying a F9 or soeedzone 3 wood against old bluey
even the f8. same rails design but a more classic black and grey look
Not the same sound. Love the f7 but hate the f8. Never hit the f9. Performance is level but for me sound matters 😁 cheers guys
Saying I love it before finishing the video 😂 but you got to love rick 💪❤️
Glad to see old bluey live on 💪
Just added a Tour Edge Exotics EXS Driver and 3-Wood to my bag for this upcoming season! Had a hybrid from them and loved it! Great clubs!!!
I have an exotics EX 10beta 3 wood in my bag and I love it! Feels good, sounds good and hits well in my opinion
Our good friend Danielson loves the adjustable head wont be in his bag 🤣
Plus he can't hit a golf club to save his life lad 😂😂😂

4:31 This is why everyone needs to edit their CZcams videos LOL.
Rick I love that you teed behind that ball channel from the first shot....that was a deep man made hazard for an ankle later....love your vids!!! I'll take blue when the time comes....XD
More 3 wood reviews pls... it’s really cool to get to see such an unforgiving club in our bag that I think many people don’t use as often but could possibly could unlock someone’s game completely!!!
Why no “hit the green” test for the tour edge ?
Not old bluey
Those Cobra rails are absolutely brilliant ... love Cobra fairway woods
I have Old Bluey too, but I have a Callaway Razr Fit 5 wood that hits easier though maybe not as far. Thanks Rick!
Your definition of an “old golf club” isn’t forgiving enough. Your clubs are brand new by just about any metric.
You’re like a little kid with a shiny toy. Play with it for 5 minutes and then go on to something else
Haha yep
Liking because of old bluey. Got the same 3 wood in the bag, it is an absolute monster for reliability and performance..
Fair play for keeping the first two shots in the video. Helps to make us high handicappers feel better
I have tried to replace my f7 5 wood but no brand out there beat it thanks for showing me I’m not the only one that couldn’t find any other competitor could beat it love my f7
It's popular in the US. You will love it! Glad it finally made to the other side of the pond. It's long! Hit the CBX.
Hey Rick,
Just wanted to thank you (and Peter Finch) for helping me fall back in love with the game! I haven't played in about 5 years and after finding your channel I am now back at the range and hitting the course when I can. Even tried out a few new drivers yesterday!
Cheers,
Sam
rick due to no sport grrrrr, ive been catching up on you old videos,, the open qualifying you tube exemption part 1 and 2,,, so so funny,, i think one of the reasons us golfers love you and finch,, is because although pros,,, you do have us handicappers shots in you,,, you disappearing into the woods, in part 2, is hilarious,, three pros, none on the fairway,, those old chaps right not to let you through lol,,, in these times,, we need you guys make more vids and play more,, please,, great shows guys,,
